I'm getting the same thing.
Great vape, though. But won't that kill the atty after a while from it being so flooded...?
The only way PTB works...

Thicker juice works okay. Mine hasn't flooded since I stuffed the cart last night, but the mix has about 30% VG.
Cara-Van 20mg
16 drops 48mg unflavored
12 drops VG
9 drops Bickford Caramel
2 drops Bickford Pure Vanilla
1 drop Lorann Chocolate

Oh, man...That sounds really good.
I'm vaping 18mg LiquidXpress Taboo (vanilla and caramel mix) , which sounds similar. I'm not quite at the point yet where I trust myself to mix my own. I such with recipies. The stuff I fix for dinner comes out of a box.
Well I do not have any Lipton Pyramid Tea Bags. So I just did this using a regular Lipton tea bag. It works great on the 801 and brings out the flavor. I will try this when I get find some Lipton Pyramid Tea Bags. I went to my local Walmart and they do not carry them. I will look other places. Most likely will have to drive 30 miles to get them or order them. I am from a small town.
This is a great improvement on the PTB!
It works very well with my 510.
I'm still fine tuning my cutting approach for my 801 (Janty Stick.) The Lipton bag's width isn't quite enough for a lengthwise fold to work easily with the larger cartridge. And it can leak a bit of juice - I think the fibers aren't quite dense enough for the 801 cartridge. I'm hopeful that with a bit of tweaking, perhaps using a bag and a half, this approach will end up working really well for me with the 801.

Glad you like it.. a while back when the original paper teabag was first discovered, i did this shredding method and it worked great! (for about 2 hours) then it got all soggy and lost its shape. I subsequently gave up and just dripped.
PTB's rock because they never get soggy and keep shape very well. =)
An update to this though, when I went to top up my cart there were a couple of strands on the atomiser (not burnt or anything though). This may be because I carry my 510 in a PCC in my pocket; which means it is usually upright. Think I'll try shredding, but leaving a bit unshredded at the end to hold it together, as some others have suggested (shredded end in contact with atomiser).
Any chance of anyone doing a video for this? I think I understand the process but I'd feel better about trying it if I could see exactly what you all are doing.
Check out my thread Shredded PTB. Pics and all. Thanks again d0kieSmok.
its very simple, roll up the tea bag, make 3 vertical cuts up the roll as far as u can, (and still hold onto it) hold the frayed pieces together, shove it in the cart;frayed end first,
cut it off Flush to the cart. Keep in mind that when u cut it off flush w/ the cart u should be cutting across your vertical cuts, so that the entire contents of the cart is shredded PTB.
If u follow these instructions exactly, it will work. And work well. No folding, no cutting it below the cart top, no using the entire bag, No cutting it off below the cart. good luck

If you leave about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch in the middle it should work. Also, you smaller scissors. In my pics I never let go from the first cut so look how I'm holding it.
Just got back from walmart ! i found the ptb's ,did what i've learned from thread, got my 901 on this thing ! and its working pretty smooth ! will see how it goes from here !
I think everyone has to try out all these clever and different methods to find out what works for them because if you vape fast or draw hard you probably need it to wick faster, if you vape slow or draw soft you probably need it to wick at a slower rate. The ideal wicking action must vary a lot from person to person.
