The extra steps can make a great big difference!

Quick update: I just got some glycerin and PTB last night and it's the best thing I've done since buying the 510. I'm producing about 1/3 more vapor (that includes it being thicker) and with the tea bags I don't have to refill my carts nearly as much. I only have one gripe: I've lost some flavor with glycerin mix. I did dillute it a bit with water and have a close 50/50 mix. I guess this will change when I start mixing my own flavoring with unflavored juice but til then no real complaints.

What is PTB?

 

[maryjo]

It just makes sense that if you dilute the flavored juice there is going to be a reduction in flavor. There are lots of flavors that you can boost with.

PTB = Pyramid Tea Bag mod. Using a tea bag (pyramid style) to replace your cart stuffing

 

[Duckies]

I agree. I am astonished at the difference in switching to the PTB for a filter! Such a clean, crisp, pure tasting vape compared to poly.

What is PTB?

Here is a video from Bama Vapor that shows how to do this. Note, this is a specific teabag from Lipton. The box will say "Pyramid" on it with a picture of a pyramid-shaped tea bag.

Does anybody know if the PJ Tips PTBs in the UK are the same stuff??? I have not been able to find Lipton PTBs.

Tesco have Liptons pyramid bags Rusty. If you can't get any let me know and I'll send some up to you

Cheers Jefflan,

As you know I'm a Morrison's fan (and ASDA) but I do venture into Tesco's occasionally so I will have a look.

Thanks for the tip-off and the offer.

No worries. The ones you want are Lipton Alps, Mint and Eucalyptus (green box) and I believe the Peppermint are the same. They are def not the same as PG Tips lol. The bag material can be washed out and re-used. Pg tips bag would fall apart.

 

[Rusty]

Thanks again for the PG Tip!!

Tea bags are great. I use the Tazo tea bags because they are made of Hemp (thought it is bleached). I would like to find a natural unbleached one but have been unable to find one in my area yet. Anyone know of a source?

I just did a search on the Lipton Pyramid tea bags and found this: Rant: Plastic Tea Bags - Soil Forum - GardenWeb Guess I wont be using those. Anyone know anything else that could be helpful to us?

Yep, I agree. I got the Mango Peach tea one or something like that. As long as they're Lipton Pyramids you can't go wrong.

Well as long as you recycle what's the issue? Am I missing something or just being ignorant or both?

Ummm...It says the Lipton Pyramid tea bags are made of plastic water/juice bottles. They are a recycleable plastic. The site is a garden site, the gardener's are ranting that they cant compost them, and therefore will not buy them any more.

I'm recycling them all right. I haven't changed my cart stuffing since Sunday (normally 3x/day) and have others tell that they go weeks on one teabag.

They are nylon. If they were plastic (juice bottles), they wouldn't hold up to the heat of the atomizer...

See now that's what I thought . . . .

You could try MyFreedomSmokes double flavor juice. The flavors are very nice and hold up to cutting really well.

For my two cents, the tea bags really do wick a lot better as well as having a better draw. Not bad for $3 and a few minutes of time!

I don't suppose a coffee filter can be used in place of the PTB? I did see those (Lipton bags) at the store the other day but hesitated to buy them thinking that coffee filters would be easier & cheaper since you can get them for dirt cheap. Any thoughts? has anyone ever tried it?

One concern I have is that the tea bags (or filters) would be more prone to liquid leaking out? Doesn't happen, I take it?
