This has to do with the Joye 510 -- I haven't tried using the teabag modification with my 801 (I don't know if I'd need to use more than one teabag for it -- that wouldn't be entirely convenient, methinks).

FWIW, I found that I was able to do this using a slightly simpler procedure than the one I saw in the Mooby Ghost videos. Same idea, just a bit less work. Instead of meticulously cutting apart the teabag at the start, I just gently pulled it apart along the most obviously 'welded' seam. It came apart cleanly with light pressure. After dumping out the tea and making sure none was left on any part of the bag, I pulled the remaining seams apart. They also separated cleanly -- I didn't need to cut them with scissors. There were a few strands hanging off the bag. Those, I cut off.

After folding the thing in half and then rolling it into a tube, I folded it in half again in the other direction, pushed it into the 510 cartridge until it stopped (with the "closed" end at the mouthpiece end), pulled it back out very slightly, then cut it off flush. So when it's re-inserted all the way the teabag isn't flush to the end of the cart -- its end sits just slightly below the end of the cart.

It's been working ok. I got a message from someone else in the forum saying he doesn't feel that the wicking is especially effective with the teabag mod. I dunno...it seems to be working ok here.

I suppose if I didn't feel so klutzy trying to make 'plugs' of polyester batting, I'd just do more of those. I have enough of it to last a lifetime. But I can't figure out how to measure it accurately. The teabag approach might not be quite as good, but I like how easy it is to wash those out and have them retain their shape. They're also way easier to insert and remove.

One friend of mine uses, of all things, a plug made of "Viva" (brand) paper towel rather than either polyester batting or the teabags. That type of paper towel is woven -- it isn't like the others that collapse when they're wet. It expands. I tried it once and it certainly works. Whether it's as effective or more so than the other two kinds of batting, I don't know.

Mikea,

I really appreciated your specific detailed information, explaining what term ‘tea bag’ meant, and how it is modified for an e-cig. I did not realize this was used in such a manner. You and Father Luke are the ONLY two, thus far, who took this question seriously, and answered accordingly. Thank you!

I also enjoyed reading about the ‘Viva’ paper towel, and how to use them for an e-cig modification. I always purchase “Viva’ paper towels, but do not always have an actual ‘tea bag’ on hand, since I use the ‘Nestles Instant Tea’.

Thank you so much, for this detailed information!

Happy Vaporing!

I don't think anyone meant any harm, just mischievousness. Maybe you have not had the same exposure that some other members have had, so to speak (even my post is difficult to write without innuendo creeping in!).
'Tea-bagging' is a term that you would normally find on porn sites (not that I have ever been on one, it's what I've been told!). It relates to the act of a man putting his scrotum into someone else's mouth, as if dunking a tea bag. Not a pretty thought but at least you know now.
Please don't get me wrong but whenever I come across something I don't know about or haven't heard of, I just google it to find the answer as it is instant, just like your Nestles Tea which is my cue to vanish before I start a crusade on behalf of the great British art of tea brewing! Earl Grey will be turning in his grave!;)

PS T Bag was also the name for a Children's TV character from the late 1980s/early 1990s. Tallulah Bag was eventually killed off and replaced by Tabatha Bag, her sister, who was played by Georgina Hale, my all time favourite actress. My three girls used to tease me whenever it came on by singing
"T Bag is your girlfriend, T Bag is your girlfriend!".
Georgina's latest appearances have been on Emmerdale, a UK soap.

I'm glad you got a straight answer, Purcat...either way, I think you're off the hook now ;), because it appears that shiningwit has a favorite celebrity whose name is something along the lines of "T Bag Dingle"...that ought to get some mileage. :D

Shining Wit,

For reason, I am unable to click on ‘quote’ to reply to you.

OH MY! Thank you for explaining the details of everyone’s private joke. Apparently some people like to keep their minds in the gutter. I do not visit them type of sites, so naturally, I would not of known this. I am a retired Nurse, an RN, and I have heard many a dirty jokes, but never heard this particular reference to a sex act. I still say they were being rude, because this forum is not the place for that type of joking. There is a proper place, for everything, and this forum is not a ........., nor dirty joke place.

As for ‘Nestles Tea’ reminding you of the great British art of tea brewing, that would be interesting to read.

I do not remember the TV show you are speaking of. My daughter and two son’s were little at that time, so they did not watch programs like that.

Again, I really do appreciate you explaining everyone’s rudeness. Guess it takes all types, to make the world go round. HA!

Take care!

Yes, I do believe you are right. HA!

Well, I guess it does. And what exactly is wrong with people having a little fun once in a while.
Lighten up there, Your Stuffiness, there was no joke on you, and people should be able to enjoy a little humor once in a while.
And before you go saying I am calling you names, remember you called most people that responded rude!

Shreck,

I never called anyone a ‘name’ per say, I only stated the facts. When a person ask a legit question about an e-cig, on an e-cig forum, where questions are normally asked, about that product, they should receive a legit answer, and not be laughed at. Not everyone has their mind in the gutter, or knows the outside jokes, you are referring to. How would you feel, if you asked an honest question, and received several responses of just people laughing. What you would think? Hmmm...

When someone ask an honest question about an e-cig, they deserve an honest answer. As I stated earlier, not everyone has their mind in the gutter, or is on the same ‘train of thought’, as you are, when you laugh at a outside dirty joke. This is why there is an appropriate place for everything. On this forum, it is place to ask questions about e-Cigs. If you want to make dirty jokes about some ........., then go there, so others can laugh with you, and be on the same ‘train of though’, as you are. Think about it ... If you had told a joke, so everyone would know what you are laughing about, that would be different. But since no one bothered to tell that joke, before they laughed at my question, that was being rude.

Apparently some people, just do not have any manners .... look it up.

Just because I dont expect the forum here to be without a little fun once in a while, Now I have no manners.
You remind me of.. Never mind. Im done , you win.. You aint gonna stop til you have it your way abviously. And if enjoying life a little means being rude and having no manners than I would rather be that, instead of being stuffy!!
Thats my opinion on how you reacted, I am done posting in this thread, but Im sure you'll tell everyone else about RUDENESS and MANNERS at least one more time..

Takes all types.Hrmm!!. Hey, Join us in the 21st century if you like!
Tea-BAG LOL, the title still makes me LOL!!

Dear Shreck,
Are you asking me to lower my moral standards, just because you have none?
