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

[ZIRO]

hmm maybe I should try for the carpet roll, I typically use one pyramid, roll it up, and fold it in half... I'm going to go make another right now, and see how that works out. I read that you use two pyramids? I'm going to give that a try and let you know the difference when I EDIT this post. In about five min....

EDIT I got about 15 drops in, I think I may be doing something wrong, but that's still a ton more than I had been getting in (7 drops).

I was under the impression thats what a "carpet roll" was. Is a carpet roll different?

Carpet Roll = Like a long rolled up carpet.
Carpet Roll (Folded) = Just One Guy trying to carrying that carpet.

I'm confused, and I failed trying this. One pyramid bag, and one of my foreign tea bags wasted later. I went back to the polyfill. I have an easier time with those. I didn't notice a longer vape before refill/topping period, but that could just be me totally doing it wrong.

Okay.. hrm:

Rip apart the pyramid so that it's a long rectangle (just rip the seams). take a pen cartridge or a toothpick and roll the pyramid up. Put in cartridge, and clip off the excess... OR roll another pyramid over that one, and then put it in the cartridge (and clip it off as well).

2 works well for me, I clip the 1st to size to touch the tip of the mesh, the 2nd one to the edge of the cart. This kind of hugs the mesh for max wicking. A nice side effect is, since the teabag does not conform to the rectangular shape of the cart, there are passages in each corner that act like the straw mod in other threads. This allows the cars to be topped off more efficiently.

BTW who is hrm: ?

 

[Levi]

so don't fold it and rolling 2 bags should fill 2 carts right?

sounds about right.

How long do you use a cart before tearing it apart and cleaning it? 1 a day 2 a day?

That would depend on many different factors, how much you vape, what kind of juice you use, how hard you draw, how long you hold the button down....I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I clean mine when I get annoyed with topping off, or when I think about how disgusting the chamber near the tip must be by now. Certainly not twice a day...

Thx for the info. Still don't feel like ive got this 100% but i gotta quit messing with it tonight. I don't know about the rest of you but i get dizzy after about 2-3 attempts at cart filling each night. =P

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.

I just have to say THANK YOU for this tip. The Pyramid bags have been working well for me, but using this idea has led me to cart-filling nirvana. As I've discovered, the key is to keep the bridge in contact with the wick (pyramid, in this case). Bringing up the center coil and trimming it makes a nice litte place for the bridge to rest, and ensures good contact with the wick.

For clarity's sake, I'm using two bags, "carpet-rolled" together on the length. Once inserted in the cart, I pull it back up just enough to make my cut. For my 510 carts, 2 bags rolled = 2 carts. Next, pull up the coil as shown in the pic and don't trim too much off. If you DO, try pulling the coil up to the top of the cart again, and push the atomizer in place. That should seat it nicely on the wick.

I'm still tempted to go to hemp tea bags, but these work SO well and clean so nicely...I might just forget that plan

I totally agree with Bigbob on that. Usually I go about 2-3 days, of course being in my mad scientist mode that can change in seconds.

Okay, about 11 days or more...(lost count)... same cart, same PTB, rinsed, dried & refilled. (19 drops)

No evidence of burning of the PTB, no burnt taste noticed. Smooth voluptuous vapor and flavor taste on light draw.

Update:

Trials using PTB in Dse084 do work in various configurations, but doesn't seem to me that the PTB enhances vaping as it does in other models.

Initial conclusions lead me to believe cart may be just too small. (sigh)

A clear case of cart envy? I only have experience with the 510 carts. Are there larger capacity carts that might be modifiable to fit the 510 attys?

I got my exacto knife ready and several PTBs ready to trim.

LOL ...cart envy! (love that one!)

There may be, just none that I'm aware of.

I'd like to know myself.

I cant get 19 drops in a cart. you using a 510? When you rinse it do you unroll and reroll it?

Yes, with DrSarcasmo's method, (You can check back a few posts if you'd like) or try:

It"s post #84 I think.

Perhaps a mm or so less than 1 length I believe and folded.

Yes, to both questions. Make sure the PTB material is totally dry before re stuffing/reusing if you want to refill using a max amount of liquid.

(Remember how this material wicks so well and is so absorbent to any fluid including it's original use...water.)

Remember 19 drop is my max and it varies. I did 16 drops today using a different PTB configuration in a different cart. Some people might think its the juice, but I assure you its nothing special consistency wise. Its a Hilton 36mg from Good Prophets. I like the flavor.

OK a friend just brought me over some pyramids and I rolled up one for my 901 cart and one for the 510. I did a little twist with it by doing the straw mod using a straw from a new wd40 can and both seem to work great. Longer period of time B4 topping off. No sign of melting or bad taste. I think we have a winner! Great work to everyone willing to experiment. It's defiantly worth the try.

Great scintar! We all love input from experimentation!

I also congratulate you on you willingness to experiment.

I found the straw mod unnecessary with the PTB, because it retains a round shape inside the cart, therefore creating 4 channels in the corners to act as relief valves for lack of a better term, but I can only speak for the 510 since I do not own a 901 device.
