Eheim filterpad mod

Just FYI, I think if I remember correctly, this stuff can emit carbon monoxide if burned beyond whatever temp it was (275 i think) and carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless

I hope you guys are willing to trust ppl online. Just know for sure that your atty wont burn it... Personally, I am skeptical about this mod.

I just tried the MarineLand Rite-Size "U" H.O.T. Magnum sleeves today after reading this thread.... and WOW what a difference. I have had a Joye 510 for about 6 days or so and was getting discouraged. I could get maybe one or two good hits off it and then back to a burned taste. I had heard so much about the PTB method and how great it was. I tried several variations and it seemed to be a big hassle (those bags are NOT easy to work with) with little payoff (not wicking that great... leftover e-liquid after seeming to run dry).

I went by the local pet store. Found it in about 30 seconds. Went home and cut a strip with slight arrow at one end. Inserted into my cart and filled. Took about 1 min. I had delicious vaper for a couple hours and it still seems to be keeping up. No leaks to speak of.

I will give it a few days trail run but this is the EASIEST best working solution I have found so far.

Since this never comes in contact with the coil of the atomizer there isn't a problem. The bridge doesn't get near that hot or your cartridges would melt.

I have been using this for over a month and the only problem I had was not washing it out enough in the beginning and I got the plasticy taste from the filter. I now wash the filter with soap and water for a few minutes and then rinse it really well. It completely removed the funky plastic taste and I can vape for hours on one fill.

Here's a simple technique when topping off for people having trouble completely refilling. Add several quick drops...there's no need to wait for it to completely soak through. Grab the cart between finger and thumb with the mouth hole facing away from your grip and do a quick windmill motion. Centrifugal force pushes the juice to the bottom of the cart and you can continue topping off. Repeat as necessary, but once or twice is probably all you need.

I use a precision oiler with my 510 carts and fill from the bottom up. Just stick the needle end of the oiler between the Poly Fill and the cart wall to the bottom of the cart. squeeze until the top of the poly is damp looking. This (in my opinion) removes all air from the poly and allows proper wicking. I also prime the bridge with a couple (2-3) small drops from the oiler and re-attach the atty to the cart. When my cig stops producing satisfying vapor (too many puffs to count) I pull the poly out and it is white and almost dry from top to bottom. It is dry enough that I can roll it between my fingers and re-insert into the cart. I usually turn the poly around (stick the part that was on top in first) because the side that was on top seems to be frizzy and the part that was on the bottom seems to be re-compacted (repaired). This method seems to work well for me with the poly that came with the cart and I don't have to worry about blue fish foam that nobody seems to know the safety aspects of when heated and inhaled. Just my 2-cents

I'm using the Eheim filterpad mod as shown on the first page of this post. I'm using the needle oilier bottles to fill from the bottom up. It seems to work very well with 6v and 3.7v with a drip start. I haven't had any burnt carts, or have had to drip unless the cart was empty. They last for hours too. I love it.

I got some a while ago, tried the ptb and agree its nice but wow talk about a juice trap.

Went back to this mod and changed the shape and thickness of the filter... WOW what a change! nice not ick tasting fog.

Glad I picked a block of this stuff up.

I have been using those marineland sleeves (same as the rest) for 4 months now. On a 901, I cut it about 1/2 inch thick, push it into the cart, and cut straight across. I stick a syringe needle down the side, and fill from the bottom up. Then top it off a bit. The best fill for me is to drip until the top just starts to look wet. I find that the first few hours is kinda a break in period. Then it gives tons of vapor and you're refilling alot cause of the amount of vapor. But then you hit this great stable period, my last was a week long, that it just plugs away enjoyably. Towards the end of it's life, it seems like you are not really getting good vapor and it needs to be topped off alot. Time to toss it and insert a new one. I also discovered that my mod, the nicostick, with the 3.7 volt battery is the best because the bat actually charges to 4.1 or 4.2, and I get the best vapor down to 3.6 volts. When I feel like the vapor is thinning out, I get another charged battery. I also seem to feel that different e-juices vape differently. Seems like the thinner ones work better.

excuse my lack of knowledge, but I picked up some blue stuff a couple months back, and I could never get it to wick right.

It's blue, and looks just like the stuff in the first picture, but it's smaller cells.

Are you guys using that type of blue stuff, or the stuff that looks kinda like polyfil or fluval but is blue, because I have seen both...

I am trying to fill tiny 084 carts, which is a task, but if it works in one, it should work in most all carts.

Thanks in advance.
