Would this work?

[WoodChucker]

I keep looking at the 8 packs of cigarettes left in a carton that I hope I never have to touch and it got me thinking. Could I use the filters off the real cigs to make filters for my 510? And I hope this doesn't turn out to be the dumbest question ever asked here but it would be my luck. lol

You want to use cigarette filters in replace of the poly fill in an ecig to hold the juice? Is that what your asking?

I've never tried it but I would think that the standard poly fill that comes with the ecig would work better than cigarette filters.

If you are looking for better wicking material there are better replacements.

Such as the Tea bag mod, and the Blue foam.

Right now I'm using the blue foam fillers that I got at StrictlyEjuice.com

Go ahead and try the cigarette filters and let us know how it works out.

WoodChucker, I've tried this, sort of. I bought a bag of roll your own filters from a tobacco shop thinking that they may work better than the polyfill. They don't. They're too dense and I don't think the fibers wick the juice as well. I threw out a bag with 199 of them still in it.

Ya, they are made to filter smoke not hold and dispense juice. Pretty cool idea but I don't think it will work.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks everyone!

Guess my brain hasn't kicked in gear yet today. But I figure every time I come up with a dumb idea I'm that much closer to good one! lol

 

[mistinthewoods]

That wasn't a dumb idea. I thought of it too, how could it be dumb?

I tried this once, as well. While you can pull the filters apart to make them wick better, they made the juice taste really, really nasty. I tossed them out, too.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, they're made to filter tar, particulates, and stuff from cigarette smoke. They would be way too dense. You might be able to sort of pull the material apart to make it less dense but I'm not sure what it's made out of. It may not be as heat resistant as the polyfill and melt in proximity to an atomizer heating coil.

 

[mistinthewoods]

Yeah I tried to thin them out too. Still didn't work. Polyfiber for fish tank filters works better if you want to use poly at all.

I think I've tried every cart mod out there now. They work good, for a while , until something goes to ............ I just drip at home now and use a cartomizer for the road

One time, while walking down Haight Street in San Fran, this teenage boy sitting on the sidewalk asked if he could bum a cigarette. I felt so bad, I ended up giving him the entire rest of my pack, maybe 5 cigs. His face lit up and I felt happy. I don't know, just a thought of what you could do with those 8 remaining packs...pass em' to someone who is on desperate times.

I heard somewhere once that there are chemicals in the filters too. I don't know if I'd risk it personally.
