I bought a few rolls of organza ribbon (don't buy the bolt yard goods, not usually the same stiffness). The ribbon rolls are incredibly inexpensive, I'm vaping with it right now. Works just great, all the liquid wicks out of the cart and no weird taste and no leaking!
Michaels craft store had clearance bins with $5 rolls of Organza for only $1 (3" x 9') 100% polyester. I bought two White rolls (avoid the dyed ones). This was Bridal Elegance brand ribbon. Also look in the bridal section of craft and fabric shops. It helps if you take along your PTB for comparison on the weave and stiffness (or if you don't really know what organza is... don't buy tulle or regular ribbon!). The rolls I got are a little different in weave and stiffness, but work just as well as Lipton.
You can also find the ribbon in Nylon Organza, the material content should be on the spool. Nylon has good heat resistance, and I think someone said that the PTB from Lipton was Nylon? I was happy to have the Poly organza since we use that now in the batting form anyway.
Getting the length right for the roll takes some figuring out because too little/much just won't work right. I think I'm loose rolling about 3" or so right off the roll, then cut it. Some organza ribbons have a tiny wire along the top/bottom of the ribbon (what I buy does) and you can just remove it after you cut the length you want. I find that the wire helps me roll it by keeping the roll and tension like I want it to have I fold it in half, stuff it in my 510 cart, and trim to cart length, which cuts away the wire ends.
Happy vaping!
