Tea bag/tea filters.... which and where and who and how?

[Niniane]

This is what I do to get my 901 atomizer to seat properly.


Roll a strip and insert into empty cart. Then, using a pair of tweezers, pull the center of the roll back up out of the cart and trim off approx 1/4 of an inch from the protruding coils.

Push the roll all the way back down into the cart. The center should now be recessed to leave room for your atty. If it doesn't sit quite right the first time, you can pull the center coils back out and trim until it does. You can also spread the center of the roll with tweezers and loosen or tighten the roll as needed so that it doesn't stick on your atty.

Wow, what a clever way to shape it!

Just a random suggestion that goes along the same line as teabags.

Has anyone considered medical gauze? Reason I'm asking is I just got my wisdom teeth removed, and I have a box of gauze just sitting on my desk. I looked at a piece of gauze and compared it to the Lipton pyramid teabag and it seems to be exactly the same, aside from the material. (The gauze I'm looking at is a Rayon-Polyester blend, although I'm sure there are other varieties.)

Possible Pros: Cheap, Readily Available, Easily Shaped, Mesh Material, Sterile(If anyone's worried about tea-residue), Uh.. can't think of anything else, seeing as it's 4 AM.

Possible Cons: Material(Not sure if Rayon-Polyester is bad, although I'm pretty sure it's not too horrible if the oral surgeon gave it to me to just chew on for a week). Flammable(I suppose I can do some tests to see how flammable it really is). I can't think of anything else for cons.

Does anyone have any input?

I tried tea bags and poly fill, and several different things. Finally ended up dragging out some sterile face cleaning pads. Separated to make two halfs and cut to size making them small for the carts so I have plenty of air flow. Then I fill and I mean fill to where the carts are to the point of being overfull and let them sit over night so the juice will absorb into the material. They have worked well for me and I haven't had a mouth full of liquid since I started using them.
They actually work better after being in the cart for a couple days so I hate to change them out. I do that about every four to seven days, depending on how much they've been refilled.

isjon, funny you say that about gauze, i was thinking the same thing once i started messing with it. i had a bad cut years ago and used a similar gauze that felt JUST LIKE the tea bags, but it was covered in a non stick oil or something. might be worth looking into, but not sure the price would be cheaper. i remember that stuff was pricey!!

 

[Closet Toker]

I'll have to try the Lipton brand. I tried some teabags from China. Worked ok, but tasted like tea/paper... couldn't handle it. They where brown colored bags.

 

[isjon]

Flitzanu, a box of 25 3inch by 3inch gauze is 6.99 + tax. A box of 10 2inch by 2inch gauze is like 1.99. I figure it's cheaper than paying for the lipton tea bags, and the tea, which you really wouldn't be using?

 

[Flitzanu]

well, not straight gauze, but there is someething that is almost identical to the material for these Pyramid tea bags. i am trying to find it online, but i may have to see it up close. i used it like 8 years ago, so i dont think i have the box anymore

i just remember it being "plastic-y" and not fluffy like normal gauze.

here's a couple links, but i don't know for sure yet. some of these have oils on them, but may possibly rinse clean, but again, not sure if this is what i'm thinking it is or not.

ok i went through 7 pages on walgreen.com but i think i'm going to have to look in person. i may just take the tea bag and ask them, maybe they'll know what i'm talking about

 

[foghorn]

I tried the Lipton pyramid bags and they don't seem to work as well for me as paper teabags. Just as well as I feel a little uneasy about lighting up PET plastic.

Paper teabags have been the best filter i've used so far. I can actually taste the real flavors of my liquid now.

I'm itching to try hemp teabags.

 

[yesee]

I don't know it before

Okay, been doing the Pyramid TB's for about a week now.

(Same Cart, One Hot Water Rinse & Quick Dry)

Checked it this evening, no discernible melting noticed.

No burnt taste noted in 6 days heavy vaping with a 510 on a Pass-Through.

(Average 19 drops full refill, Easy 10 drops for top up.)

The whole PET thing bothered me. Google'd it and read. (a lot.)

After weighing in my mind the other materials used for cart fill, (polyfill, Fluval, etc.), what I had read, the evidence I saw first hand viewing my cart tonight, I find these pyramid tea bags to be an acceptable choice. (For Me)

Until something organic that works as well comes along they will be my who & how.

WOW!
I just tried the pyramid nylon teabags on all of my models, and its amazing.
Right now I've been vaping my LightVapor for about 3 hours strait on maybe... 5-7 drops of Rum juice from myfreedomsmokes. I am thoroughly impressed.
I did a double layer roll, it wicks perfectly and the vaping never seems to end....ever seriously. I wanna try some different flavors, dry up already!!!!

I started using the pyramid bags on Thursday and I took one out to see how in the world I was still getting vapor long after I would have had to top off with regular teabags. It actually wicks up all the liquid. If you lose vapor it's because pretty much all of it is gone unlike any other stuffing method I have tried where I feel like I am throwing away a ton of liquid when I change it. The only bad thing is that you can't change flavors cause it lasts so long . I've been cycling flavors that work together tonight. Started with Coffee and when I wanted a change added a few drops of Chocolate. When I got tired of that I added a few drops of Vanilla Butternut, and I think at some point I used some Apple Maple (which is like vaping pancakes and is fantastic). All of them kind of go together so if there is still some liquid it blends with the new flavor being the strongest. Does anyone else do these mad experimental mixes ?

I do!

(Ya kinda have to with those Pyramids!)

 

[Bek76]

I got some Pyramids today. They're not working real great for me. Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to use the whole bag? I've been cutting them in half. I've tried rolling, accordion folding and folding in half, accordion folding and not folding in half, and just bunching it up and cramming it in there.

I've found the best vapor and throat hit with rolled up coffee filters. But, the aftertaste is horrible.

It's like I can always get 2 of the 3 essentials (flavor, throat hit, and vapor), but never all 3 at once. It's so frustrating!

I've been lurking for a few weeks, so I wanted to make sure my first post includes a thank you to everyone in this thread, for making this alchemy so much easier. So...thank you!

 

[Bek76]

Oh wait, nevermind my question...Page 7

I'll try it again.

Glad you already found it! Hopefully you'll get all three this time!

(Still vapin the same cart 4 -5 top ups later...still smooth as silk!)

 

[rfun6]

would coffee filters work??

 

[Moonflame]

Coffee filters do work and so do regular tea bags. Try them, and then try the pyramid bags and you'll find the difference is huge. I felt bad about paying almost $4 for 20 bags of tea, but I'm enjoying the tea and I've been using the same bag for 3 days now. Wash, rinse, re-use. I figure the only time I'll have to throw one out is if I drop it on the floor while taking it out, because the thought of having to try to get all the cat hair out is not pleasant .

Dog hair in my case.

I found a bit of a strange after taste with coffee filters. (Perhaps it was just me.)
