I'm a big fan of the Pyramid Tea Bag cartridge filler mod, and I've been looking for a source for the mesh material itself, rather than hacking up individual Lipton tea bags.

This looks like the stuff, but I don't know for sure what micrometer size is right for the mesh opening; anyone know?

Sheets, from Amazon: www.amazon.com/Polyester-Natural-Opening-Openings-Diameter/dp/B004QZ9XJY/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1343865406&sr= 1-1

Rolls, from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Polyester-Natu...3865406&sr=1-2

The rolls are pretty pricey, but if there's enough interest it could be co-oped ...

What do y'all think?

Oh, shoot! What the heck was the name of that paper co in Windsor Locks, CT? Maybe you can google it? They make the bag material for Lipton. It's been 20 years since I worked in WL, and I can't remember. It might be Perkin-Elmer, but I'm not sure, and you may NOT want to vape what their main product is...TNT...

I'll look it up, but I see they are a paper company ... are they making the regular paper tea bags or the PET mesh as in the Pyramid-style bags? I've used the paper bags, and they're great, but the PET mesh is even greater! It wicks the cart completely dry, down to the last drop. When I get the first inkling of a dry hit, I pull the cart and sure enough, time to refill! Keeps the atty nice and wet without flooding ... it's the next best thing to dripping, and at my vape rate, I only need to refill the cart about once an hour. Works like a little baby tank ...

Why not? Keep clean and tuned up and they last forever ... well, OK, months. Plus they're easy to switch around for sampling flavors, and they're cheap, meaning I can keep a filled and capped cart for every juice sample and DIY run. I've tried to love cartos, but no joy there for me. Now, if I could afford to stick an Odysseus or a Genesis on top of all my Twists, that would be another story ...

What do you use?

I'm not sure. I only know when I was living in CT they were making tea bag paper for Lipton.
See if they can send some scraps for "samples"; tell them you're working on something and are testing materials. You'll probably get enough to last you the rest of your natural life.

I actually still prefer an atomizer, if I just didn't burn them in in ~45 minutes...

CE2s are my next best thing.

Steam, that's funny "Hachiroku" means 8 and 6 you should have been hachijuroku which means 86

LOL! I didn't know you and Hachiroku were one and the same. That atty killer thread was one of the first ones I read before I joined the forum! Kept me in stitches for hours (that's one long thread!) ... sort of a twisted tech soap opera for our time. I remember thinking to myself as I was reading about your adventures and ever-escalating efforts at attycide, "This guy is Dexter for attys ..."

I remember someone saying bridal veil material is the same thing as the LPTB's, and they bought it by the yard at someplace like Michaels.

That sounds crazy enough to be true. The MSDS on PET does say it's virgin material ...

currently I'm using a Vivi Nova and I can't recall a time in the last two and a half years that I spent less time worrying about my equipment and more time enjoying vaping than I am right now.....

That's what caused me to start dripping: I realized I was mostly just dripping anyway, while filling all those @#$%& cartridges and spending hours messing with cart mods.

Ego,Walmart sells polyester net ribbon for about $.30 a foot in 1inch width and it appears to be the right material. I used it a couple years back when I was using carts.

LOL! Yeah, I am/was Hachiroku. Why the Japanese name that translates to "8 6"?

In Japan, the AE86 was also known as the Hachi-Roku (ハチロク), Japanese for "eight-six".



Once upon a time. It is now rusting into the ground. At one time...<sigh> Best car I ever owned.
