|  The spring mod
Hey guys. I was always trying to find ways (cheapest and not complicated) to have the maximum of the fiber filling in my carts. The filling of the fresh empty carts is always fluffy and more enjoyable in the beginning. After a few hours of drip smoking the filling is getting more and more stiffer and does not always make good contact with the atomizer, so I have come up with a simple mod to use a spring from a pen to get good atomizer contact and to warm up the most of the fiber filling to get more vapor. 1. First you will need is a spring from an ordinary pen 2. Put it in the cart, all the way down to measure where you are going to make the cut. 3. Clip the spring until is has the exact same height of the cart container. Please note that the spring must be inserter with the cut part downwards so it does not get stuck in the atomizer. 4. Wrap the fiber filling around the spring (don’t worry about the middle it will close by the filling during this procedure) 5. Place it inside the cart. Any excess filling can be trimmed with a scissor. So now it’s ready for dripping, the filling will be always fluffy and will make good contact with the atomizer. The spring will also heat up so that it will produce more vapor. I have been using my moded carts this for a few weeks now and encountered no problems. I hope that I gave you some ideas. |

Really good idea to try. Gives me something to do with the piles of cheap pens that every vendor on the planet seems to want to send out! Thanks for the idea!

Good thinking  Are you sure those pen-springs are okay enough, that it's not needed to use ss-springs (metal emitting, whatever)? Looks good!

I can’t determine if it is an inox spring or if s/s is flexible enough. I have avoided though to use nickel plated springs.

Hmmm...... Has anyone tried this mod with the filter from an analog? Reading some other posts people have had good things to say about analog filters and for 2-3 dollars for a box of 200, You can't really beat the price |

Dear Coombs, You mean the analog filter on to and a small spring on the bottom pushing the filter on the atomizer? |

No, I meant more of pulling the filter apart and wrapping and bunching to get a snug fit in & around the spring, Much like you have done, But that idea sounds interesting, though i dont know if it would work well without being pulled apart some, I think it would clog quickly But I'm just guessing, lol |

Well I have tried analog filters before, but they make a sizzling sound when used and the vapor is very poor. I will try to pull it apart and re assemble it with the spring inside. Thanks for the idea. |
