So what about metapuff's concern over whether the bag is PET or nylon? Just wonderin', thanks.
Just an update read my post:

Vap'um if you got'um your choice.
not sure if this has ever been discussed.. I would be surprised if it hasn't been.. but..... the simpleton side of me begs the question.. has anyone tried actual wick material? like, what one would use in an oil burning candle?
I ask this not knowing anything about candle wicks.. like, if they're soaked in some type of chemical, or something.. or what their melting point is.. but, wouldn't that, theoretically, be the best wicking material?

Awesomeness! Sometimes it feels like every new thing gets over hyped on this forum. And so I initially resisted spending yet more cash on new filler, but I got a batch of carts with really crappy fill in them so I decided to give it a shot. And this is just great. Works flawlessly. Thank you to bizzyb0t, bigbob, Stehle, Bama Vapor, and Mooby for all your efforts.
So I read this thread, at least 12 or 13 pages of it, and finally decided to try it myself. I have an NJoy NPro that has been given me no end of leaing problems, and the taste of every eliquid i tired seemed off somehow. Reading this thread, both of those issues seem to be well addressed by using the teabag material.
I happened to have some old Lipton trash tea bags in the pantry, so I went to dumping and cutting.
Try as I might, I could not get a good draw off of any cart I used a teabag as filler in. I went through four teabags, and almost a quarter bottle of juice, before I finally gave up.
Them, just as a last resort, I did it again, leaving the bag very loose inside the cart, and it seems to be working like a champ! My Peach-flavored liquid from LiquidXpress finally tastes like peach, and I'm getting good easy draws. Also, there has been no leakage so far. I'm interested to see how long this cart will last me (I usually top off every hour or so when I'm at home and vaping continuously).

Just a quick shout out to Bama Vapor and everyone else who made videos. Picked up some pyramid bags yesterday and learned to make my own 901 refills in no time. Those pyramid bags really work great!
I just ordered a 401 so as soon as I get it I'll take it apart and play with it a bit.

Ok, I'm giving these PTB's another chance, look out! lol
I found a really good combination of cart+atty. The key seems to be actual dimensions of the cart itself as well as the bridge of the atty. The combination that I am currently working with seems to place the bridge of the atty right at the very edge of the cart, so there are no indentations whatsoever made in a stock cart. Almost as if it is just resting right up against it, or just a fraction of a millimeter away from it. Either way, it has been wicking heaven even with a factory cart.
What I have done this time, incorporating some ingenius new PTB technolgies that our ECF members have posted, which is the "shredded" PTB method.
I took a somewhat loosely rolled PTB, and made two cuts, down each of the carpet rolls about 1/8 of an inch from where the fold is at the bottom. I then stuffed it into my penstyle cart so that it reaches the lower depth of the cart. It barely reaches the rim of the cart, so it's really a perfect fit.
I will try and get some pics posted if this seems to be working well for me, but I think in the long run, the real benefit here is the perfect combination of cart+atty, in regards to their measurements.
The ladies have it right, SIZE MATTERS

Been lurking here on the forum for a few days now and decided it was time for my first post.
I have a crappy SE RN4081 and have had nothing but problems with it from day one. I was just about to throw it in the trash.... and then I found this mod. I am actually loving my SE RN4081 now believe it or not. I never thought that I would actually say that, but I actually love this smoke now!
The pyramid Lipton mod is killer! For a while I was thinking that every juice just had that nasty burnt taste after a while, definitely not the case. I am now actually tasting what I am supposed to be tasting. The vapor just keeps on coming too and the throat hit is awesome. I am going to make a vid tomorrow morning for anyone using an RN4081. Keep an eye out for it.

I vape a mini e-cig and I've replaced all the poly filling in my standard carts with Pyramid tea bags. I cut them, roll them, fold them and place them in fold side down. They are soooo much better.
You get a true flavor from all your liquids and no burned taste.
I tried regular tea bags and I experienced a slight burned taste from the paper touching the atomizer. Yuck!!!

Here is the quick vid that I threw together this morning. How-to Lipton mod with rn4081.

i tried it with the lipton lemongrass and ginger paper bags. wicked its .... off, but my atty now tastes of lemon ginger no matter what you put in it.... im trying to find these ptbs but not having any luck locally, trying on ebay. i actually found some PTBs on ebay made from silk, i wonder how that would go?
I might not waste my money on them Barbi355. Many have tried... a dismal failure.
You might try this if you still can't find them:
Lipton pyramid tea bags, great deals on Home Garden on eBay!
Hopefully a link for out International PTB'ers!
Just make sure they are US suppliers that ship internationally. You should receive the mesh type or you can just ask before you buy!

I use pyramid tea bags. Basically you just cut the seams off roll the short ways, fold it in half and put it in your cart. The remaining bag up top just cut it off with a pair of scissors then fill.
Anyone try the TB or PTB cart mod for a m401,m402 or m403? Looking to do it on my m403 but not sure if it will work since the cart liquid holder is so tiny..
