$4 for the box of 16, you can click on the picture to order. I buy them at the church where I work so I don't have to pay shipping, so that makes a difference. And considering one box might be all I'll ever need, it's quite a bargain!
hey guys,
I just went out and bought a box of tea with those Lipton pyramid tea bags but i am pretty sure that the material that they are made is pretty much the same as the normal tea bags, can anyone confirm their existence?? maybe its an european thing, i dont know... just whant to make sure i am doing the right thing.

The Lipton bags you want are made of fine nylon? netting not a paper material like normal tea bags. You can see the tea right thru it.
Hey,, why not take a sip of tea between drags,,, LOL! Seriously,, great mod idea, thanks! Gonna try it!
Hi:
I watched the videos, read some of the posts and was intrigued. I'm using a TW Titan Tornado with a 510 Mega atty/cart. The atty is just like a 510 only the barrel is longer, so you use a cart with a longer shank (= larger reservoir). I'm still not sold on the efficacy of the Mega over a standard 510 atty/cart. I think the wicking force drops off with distance from the atty bridge, so you end up with a larger amount of unused liquid (JMO).
In addition, I'm vaping Drewbacco from Nhaler. Drew's liquids blow major clouds, but the viscosity is higher that average, which presents a refill problem.
So I thought I'd give this mod a try.
The Mega cart required I use the entire bag in one go. NBD - this stuff is cheap enough. Now for the refill - 46 regular size drops (not the teeny "I'm in denial" drops).
Turned the cart upside down - no leakage. So far so good. Inserted and began to vape. Usual amount of vapor one would expect from a fresh cart. No nasty tastes. But no increase in taste intensity that moobyghost reported either.
Subsequent vapes: Minor bubling & a noisy draw indicative of some flooding but so long as it doesn't worsen, I'm OK with it. Checked the top of the filler - no obvious signs of melting, burning, etc.
As I write, I've only been vaping on this mod for about 15 minutes. I'll post back with how efficient the mod is with the eliquid and how subsequent refills go.

Just a quick note.
The 510 vaped with the new mod reasonably well though the first day. This evening before refilling I noted a hardening of the material at the top of the cart. I believe it's been melted somewhat either by the atty's heat or chemically or possibly both. Also noted some minor leakage out of the bottom of the atty onto the battery.
As I noted previously, I got 46 drops in on the first fill. This second fill, I would have been satisfied with 30 or 35. I was pleasantly suprised to get 40. I was also mildly dissapointed because some of that 40 represented fluid that had leaked out and messed up the outside of my cool new "E-NI".
The results are enough to keep going. Will continue the updates.

Failure
After several minutes vaping on my first refill, I unscrewed the shroud surrounding the atty and found it dripping with fluid.
Not acceptable. To me a viable mod has to perform at least as well as polyfill. This leaking mess invalidates all of the possible upside. I'm shelving this mod and going back to the polyfill.

Hey 
I saw that u have a TON of youtube videos, that is sweet. However, in most of this video, at least the first part, as I am not familiar with how to do this---I couldnt see what you were doing
So I have no clue how to make one, and I'd really like to start trying, I have already started to use liquids and all that, just want the best possible vaping experience

Harney and Sons tea (which I get from Barnes and Noble) has pyramid teabags (and comes in a tin!). Yes, they are nylon, and their tea tastes waaay better than Lypton. I usually use my 10% B&N member discount after I find them on a 1/2 sale at $5/box of 20 bags (typically I get the holiday blend after the holidays and hoard it for the next year, it's that tasty).
There are also a lot of other tea brands out there with nylon bags. The trend first started among the organic and eco-conscious tea manufacturers, and then spread to Lypton and the other mainstream teas. So if you're a tea-o-holic like I am, and are not typically fond of Lyptons, there's plenty of others to pick from.

Anyone else get kind of a funky taste with the ptb mod?
I wouldn't say it tastes burnt, but there's definitely a weird taste I get after throwing in one of these nylon bags.

So I just dissected one of my carts to see what was going on and if I could actually get the filler out. How am I supposed to get the old filler out without tearing up the atty? Maybe I cant use this method with these type of carts? I am using blank ones from V4L.
When I took it apart there were some black parts. Maybe I should just throw the whole cart in some boiling water for a few days to clean it every couple of days to make sure it doesn't burn up? gosh idk

Have been using the original PTB (pyramid tea bag?) mod for a few weeks here on 510s and 901s. My results
* great overall: much better than original poly-fill
* learned: don't overfill, otherwise they really leak all over the place (haven't tried poly-dam addon to PTB mod yet)
* learned: store in pocket cartridge-side down, to not encourage leaking
* note: even with sometimes leaking, have not ruined any batteries, except for maybe my one auto 901, which doesn't want to charge sometimes, it just flashes
What is the current "best" PTB mod? Just PTB with a poly cap/dam? Or something else?

Mooby,
Quick clarification question, because I'm not 100% certain after watching all 4 videos:
So for the 401/2/3 models you take a single square (aka half the total bag material), fold that in half, then roll, fold & stuff into the inner cart just like you did with the larger cart in video 1?
Thanks so much, this is only my second day on the forum and so far your videos and reviews are the most helpful, informative things I've found!

Newbie checking in to tell MoobyGhost he just saved me from a huge headache.
I have had the worst time refilling carts. The m401 cart batting tends to fall apart and smush up no matter how careful I am washing and drying it, and when I fill the cart and push it back down the stuff always goes to the bottom and ends up screwing up on me. I wanted to initially try the blue foam mod, but we've had huge snowstorms here over the last few days (my car slid off my driveway last night and we had to haul it out this morning) and the closest pet store is all the way across town on some roads that are still less than stellar.
There's a grocery store two minutes away, though. Ran in, grabbed a box of white tea with blueberry (which I'll no doubt brew in an in-mug basket I have - I'm already a huge tea fan), followed the video instructions and now I've got cart filler that doesn't suck. It took me two tries (I cut the first one down just a bit too far to get a good vape) but it's working like a charm now.
Huge, huge improvement. Thank you so much.

Yup,
Thanks for the video. I tried it with a couple carts yesterday and came home after work and made a bunch. Really improves the whole experience. Im down to two analogs a day and ready to give them up altogether and this mod makes it even more doable. How many time can you refill the cart before you have to change/wash the filler?

Mooby,
I'm a noob at this and I have to say your videos are such a great source of info for ppl like me. I have a 510 on the way and I can't wait to try this out. Keep makin the vids

If you're a tea drinker then yes, Harney's is the way to go. I prefer the White Christmas blend myself.
If you don't drink tea then Lipton is where it's at as it's cheaper if you're just going to chuck it out and not use the tea. Also, there are 30 pyramids in the Harney tins at B&N, as opposed to 20 in the Lipton.- Status
