Video: Lipton Pyramid Tea Bag Mod

[vapourking]

Hi Mooby, great video. I've been loving the mod.

I do have a question to you all. I know that VG generally has great vapor production when compared to PG and I noticed the vapor production is day and night on a PTB modded cart using VG, but when vaping PG on the same cart, I notice the vapor production is not even the same as with the regular cart. Anybody have any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Moobyghost.....Great job with the videos..I have seen a few now.Here's a request for a vid(being you said you use a 510).Try direct dripping and see what you think....usually the expression on a first timers face is priceless.You may even start using those tea bags for tea drinking!The Wiz!

So what is this 'direct dripping' you are talking about. I have a manual 510....how do I do it.

thanks

Hey Mooby,

Just wanted to let you know that ALL of your reviews and advice are the BOMB dude You are at the top of my list of most trusted reviewers!!

Anyway, this mod is the absolute best I have been using aquarium foam ever since I got off of the standard atty filling a few months ago and I thought that was good until I found this mod, WOW!! It's clean beyond belief, I can TASTE the juice, humongous clouds of vapor, and way down on topping off. The flavor and TH are so good that I can stop chain vaping and actually put down my 905 to savor the hit, unbelievable

Don't know how you thought of this one man, but if I had ten thumbs they would all be up, THANK U!!!!!!!!

pEACE,
bk

I've heard a lot of talk about using tea bags for fillers, is it possible to use coffee filters as a filler?

I don't know if it's been posted earlier in this thread (i tend to go into autopilot when catching up on threads) but i can say for a fact this mod works on 901 carts as well. Thanks Mooby. You==The Man

I'm reluctant to try ptb because the material doesn't look like it would absorb the liquid enough and would leak all over! Does it really absorb the fluid enough to travel around with without leakage?

I love the tutorial and the vids, Mooby. Thanks for your contributions so much!

My question is simply this - I just went out and bought a giant box of supposedly pyramid tea bags, but they're normal teabag material in a pyramidal shape. Would anyone recommend using these? I still want to try it very badly, but the material is not a plastic, it's more like paper. Bad idea?

 

[saucier]

Nevermind, do not try to use a normal teabag. I'll leave it at that.

Great stuff Mooby! I went out to the grocery store to get teabags right after watching your video. The tabag filler worked really good for me but really only when I managed to roll it up in just the precisely right width. If was a smidge too large the layers would distort leaving an open space in the center of the cart right where the attie bridge makes contact.

Solution (for me): After rolling and folding into shape, I hold the folded end between tweezers and use scissors to cut a slit about halfway down the length of the opposite ends. Once inserted in the cart there are no more voids in the material and the attie makes great contact. You can still clean and reuse. I just don't unfold it to do so. I just rinse out under running water, pat it dry on a paper towel and go.

+1 Mooby!

I've checked out quite a few of your videos on youtube, very good reviews. Funny, I was in the grocery store today, buying groceries and I came across the lipton pyramid bags in the tea section. I picked up a box after remembering watching this video, can't wait to try out this tip!!!

 

[M76]

OK, 10 minutes later after some handywork with some scissors... all I have to say is WOW. I also use a 510, I find it's smoother than direct dripping and you are right, it seems that flavour is somehow "purer". Thanks again TGWTF!

 

[Skyler]

Excellent! I finally tried this and the flavor is much stronger.

Thank you for a great vid! I have heard about this mod, but would not attempt it until I watched this. really a big help to a newbie. When I get my SD in next week I use this mod.

These are paper tea bags and not nylon so I'm afraid they wouldn't work

Thanks for this info. I'm going to return this unopened box of PG Tips and get my $5 bucks back.

Thanks MoobyGhost.

I'm still a newbie, about 8 days smoke free. I know most people here don't like the Blu, but thought it would be worth mentioning that this works very well on the Blu.

I found myself going through 4 of the Blu Carts per day, so my supply quickly ran out.
Fortunately the ECF Prize Patrol gave me a $25 Gift Cert. at LiteCigUSA.Net, and I got my free juice on saturday. I spent the last 3 days trying to find a good way to refil the carts. I tried the Blue Foam and Fluval. I also tryed the B.F.D. Which worked OK, but got alot of leakage. The Blue Foam Leaked pretty bad, and the Fluval was the opposite, it didn't leak, but also didn't wick very well. And I got really bad burned plastic taste with both. Either it's not wicking well enough, or the material itself adds the taste.

I just tried the PTB today and It is by far the BEST filler material for the Blu.
Wicks VERY well, with very little leakage. It only leaks If I store the Cig Batty Side Down. Laying it flat is best, it doesn't leak, but the liquid flows and gets the keeps the Atty wet. But even storing Atty Side Down, it still wicks well. The primer puff might be a little dry, but after that it's great.

I've also noticed a greater saturation of flavor in the Vapor. I think I read here or saw on YT that is due to the material being Nylon, instead of plastic.

And I've done 2 carts so far, and they have been sucked pretty dry. Only probably about 1 drop clinging to the sides of the cart.

And I only get the burned plastic taste when it's completely dry.


Thanks again, this is by far the best filler for the Blu.

 

[Jonmo1]

A thought just occurred to me. Since it's Nylon, there must be a way/place to buy this material in bulk? Like a fabric store or something. Anyone know?

Not that it's not already cheap, but rather than buying tea bags and cutting down the seams and stuff, It would be nice to just buy the stuff by the yard..

 

[jj2]

I bought this stuff that come on a small roll (like ribbon), and it worked pretty much the same.
Got it at WalMart.

 

[moonible]

sorry for the huge bump, but does anybody know which brands available in England use nylon tea bags? I know tetley, clipper and twinings all use paper bags.

 

[Thalinor]

lol, someone works in EMS by the look of those sheers you were using. : )

Will give this mod a shot, thanks for the vid.


Edit, just tried this and its working AMAZING! Blowing clouds with my BB USB Pass. Taste & wicking are better then the default poly-batting. Anyone know if the poly in the tea bags is safe to heat? One of the reasons I switched to ecigs is the non-cancer (or less cancer) potential over analogs. Just want to make sure I am not being counter productive with this mod.

Thanks again!

 

[inkedcanadian]

Just tried this mod myself tonight!

HELL of a lot better than the filler crap the carts come with (no more gross burning strands!). Video helped a lot.

Vape on!
