I've been vaping on a 510 Mega for one month as of this week. I have been refilling carts that came "prefilled" with my kit and contained that poly-fil stuff in them. I have just been taking the poly out and rinsing it, let it dry and reusing it, as I was told & read that you could do. The hits weren't consistent and I got that burnt taste often - yuck! Also, leaking and lots of flooding the atomizer. I started getting really disgusted and took some time to read the cart mod board and watched several videos.
Today I decided to try the PTB method and my gawd! This is awesome! I cannot get over the difference in the hits! My 510 Mega is producing at least 5 to 10 times the amount of vapor, the hits are strong and consistent, and the taste is great. I've been using this since about noon today, and let me tell you, my enjoyment of vaping went from about a 6 to a 10 today. I'm amazed by the wick performance of the tea bag - no burnt poly taste whatsoever.
This is the method I am using:

I didn't have a straw small enough in diameter to fit my cart, so I used the tea bag by itself. So far it has worked just fine. The tea bag I used is just a cheap off-brand tea I bought at Sav-A-Lot. I was kinda expecting a aftertaste from the tea, but there isn't any. Just a pure, clean, tobacco taste (I'm vaping a USA flavor, 24mg PG based juice).
I am just thrilled I tried this. I was getting so disgusted by the inconsistency of hits I was getting, the flooding, and sometimes getting juice in my mouth. I feel like I have finally experienced vaping pleasure as it should be.
Lesson learned: don't be too intimidated to try different cart mods.
Also, I am so thankful for this forum. It seems to me that there is a pretty big learning curve when it comes to vaping, and if I hadn't had the wealth of information that I've found on this forum, I'd have probably given up on vaping after the first week. The advice here is priceless. Thanks to all the seasoned veteran vapers that answer us noobs here in the newcomers forum.
