Only the good real q-tips have a paper stick. Look for the cheaper no-name brand. You can tell because the stick/tube is usually light blue instead of white (at least the ones I've seen). I just steal coffee stirrers from work. Less shopping and I have to go to work anyway.

like so many here, i use the straw from a can of dust remover and it works great. and you can use the dust remover to blow out your atomizers (introduces less moisture then blowing it out oneself)

I almost gave up after first try but decided to give a go again!! THANKFUL I did!

I used the coffee stirring straws and cut the bottom at a steeper angle than first time. I also think I cut straw to short the first time which caused flooding. Now it is flush with cartridge and doesn't flood. AWESOME mod!!

i tried this mod and it didnt work for me (i seem to have that problem a lot) but when i broke out a new cart it wasnt letting any juice go so i decided to try the mod again and WOW. this time it really worked and it is really giving the juice and the vapor. i have been using the ecigs for a year and at one point was totally analog free but then had several problems (all started with a hurricane) and got back on them...since I have been using the ecigs but not completely...even when i got back into it a month ago i was still smoking 3 analogs a day ( a couple more than that when at work) but i think this is the extra little kick that will give me the chance to get totally away from them again
