The spring mod

me too, sounds good

dose not the wadding get stuck to the atomizor causing a burnt taste?

I like the concept, but I'd be concerned with how much pressure is being placed on the atomizer bridge. Might this not place some extra pressure on the bridge and cause shortened physical life span?

Vapster, as long as you are keeping your cartridges properly moistened/filled, you shouldn't have to worry about wadding getting stuck to the atomizer and creating a burnt taste. But yes, if you allow your cart to run dry, then I think your concern has some merit.

Hi, I tried it. I have it in my ecig now, and it does work. I make sure that the spring is not touching the atomizer, just the fiber. Works great, I hate that when the fiber starts to slip away from the atomizer.

Nice idea mate!

i have the wire touching my bridge,
a little bit of heat transference helps wick out the fluid

[EldarKinSlayer]

Is anyone still using this method and if so, what does it do to atomizer longevity?

[Carlos49]

I have a question... would it be easier to pull the the fiber out and use the spring like a screw and screw it in through the back side, leaving a little of the spring sticking out. That way it always has a little bit of tension on the bridge making it wick better. I'm no expert just a thought. I would like to know if that would work any better?
Thanks

I chopped off about 1/2 inch from the length of the filler (801 cartridge) and screwed the spring into the filler, leaving about 1/2 inch of the spring jutting out.

I stuck the filler into the cartridge, spring side first. That leaves a big open space at the bottom of the cartridge.

The open space at the bottom holds a lot of juice and it doesn't leak out because there is still a lot of fiber in the cartridge. Gravity and the wicking action keeps the filler moist. I use a syringe to fill my cartridges, so it's easy to fill it completely.

I've only been doing this for a day now, so don't know if there will be any long term problems, but for now, it's great.

ok, I did the mod. I left my cart the same size (801), stretched the spring out to the size I want (about a 16th sticking above cart top, wrapped the filler around the end of the spring that would be near the atty (the last quarter inch or so), sorta made a plunger thingy, which left a huge reserve pit below the filler for juice.
Using the spring lets my filler fit tighter and not fall out plus wicks good to the atty. the spring actually get hot, which is good IMO....this is a very good mod so far...vape and flavor are excellent....ss spring....

edit: the wick fell out and stuck to the atty so I wrapped another filler around the spring giving me about 3/4 of the spring wrapped in filler, then I dripped 5 drops of juice into the empty cart, added the spring wrapped in filler and away we go! After I added the five drops, I added 10 more drops to the filler material for a total of 15 drops in one cart! so far it doing very good..I'll do more carts this way for sure. but I have to remove the spring, drop in 5 or 6 drops first then the filler, to reload it. Excellent flavor........this could be my best vape ever....
