using the lipton tea bag as a cart filler

[ian]

I have heard of people doing this with their carts,and seen a few videos on you tube.I cant really make out still what you are meant to do.Just wandering if anyone has ever done this??and why you cant use just any old tea bag??I would really like to give this a go but dont know how to go about it.

Haven't tried it personally Ian, I'd imagine that any tea bag material would suffice, although the Lipton's bag has probably been found to be the most successful.

Presumably you just cut it open, remove contents, then shape it into cart size . . . . I might just try now with a tea bag >>>>>

I may be wrong Perpy but the tea bags that are used for cart fillers are not your normal paper ones that you get in UK. So if the ones you are using disintergrate after a few days I am right and if they don't I am wrong lol.

Could be why Lipton's are the ones to use then Kenny.

Not to worry, I now know that if I used up all my blue foam/2 metres of wadding, I'd have a temporary emergency back up in the house.

Lol Raggy!!!

I have tried Liptons here and they don't work as they turn into a squiggy mess after a day or so.

Would suggest sticking to Jimmy's blue foam which lasts forever if you are feeling frugal.

the blue foam is being illusive very hard to find the right stuff there are plenty of places selling the course stuff but if i cant get it i will bring in back with me from America when i go in January

Well thanks all.So i think i will try this out of curiosity,just to see how it vapes.Thanks for the info and for trying it out perpy.So did you use tetley or pg tips??lol.I do have the blue foam and cant get it to vape at all well.Ive cut a third off the little blue square and it fits the cart better but isnt wicking properly.Ive pushed it a bit further down to,i must be doing somat wrong ere.

[ian]

Thanks Kenny.So it is never gonna be a filler to last any real length of time then.Hmm,think i will try it,but only once.

[ian]

I think the blue foam i have must be not the best sort then.Ive heard the American stuff is the best to get??dont know if thats actually true??But James if you get some from America can i buy a large amount of it from you?I got mine from cloud 9.I cant really say it vapes any better ol longer than standard filler???

[Perpetua]

I've only had James's one and it's always worked a treat Ian.

The tea bag is still going great guns, useful as a last ditch back up.

[ian]

I must go and do it now Perpy.Its gotta be worth a try.I will try anything once.I will do it exactly as you described.

[ian]

Yes.This teabag mod vapes very well and is very good.BUT on this subject i STRONGLY agree with kenny.You can just tell its never gonna last a long time and that after a few days its gonna be pulp.Oh well i tried it and will continue with it to see how long it will last.Think i need some of this good blue foam which everyone else has got apart from me.Hope James can find some in America.I must have the course stuff that James mentioned.Anyone else got any ideas for cart filler material??? Oh well im off for a cuppa,this time i wont be trimming tea bags.Must admit it felt a little daft and what a waste of tea.
