Idid the same, but removed the straw. You will notice at time the flavor of the vapor will get really heavy and hit you more in the sinuses then the throat/chest. This is due to too much fluid on the atty and is not buring off quick enough. This is in my case anyway. I even used the smallest straw I could find (perfume spray straw).
The best alteration I found to the foam mod is cutting the insert so the width at the bottom is the width of the cart. The top of the cart should have a wider area of foam. So, narrow at bottom, wide at top. This should help regulate flow back out of the cart. Once you find consistent delivery of juice you can adjust strength of the juice (nic and flavor). The thinner the juice, the wider the top should be cut.

I've been doing this for quite awhile now for my 510 and thought I'd share. I fill the cart with tons of juice and with a small piece of blue foam, basically plug the end. I use the same size as before (a little larger than the cart) just snipped the point off, lasts forever! When I top off I just smash it down, fill and pull it back up. This eliminates the air bubbles. The foam is so springy it stays in place, no spring needed. We should give the Blue Foam a name...lol BFM, blue foam mod! By far the easiest! Glad this finally caught on!
BFM... hmmmm.... I think BF is already used in the tool world. Like BFH is big f'ing hammer. Lol, could work though

just tried the adm.....not as good as straight up blue foam....its easier to fill no flooding(had to use poly on adm because always flooded)....it is super easy and when i ran dry foam was almost completely dry!!!...we have a winner(ps...i used the ptb double fold for over a month now and this kills it)

Interesting observation re not being as good as the blue foam solo. My experience is a bit different. Even with the foam, my 510 was not doing what I wanted it to do on my un-modded piece. I had pretty much given up use of the straight 510 for the wonderfulness of my Bartleby-enhanced one (in which the blue foam works beautifully). With this spring mod and standard polyfill though, the straight 510 is FANTASTIC! And I am back to using it regularly. A fill lasts forever and gives beautifully consistent vape. I'm actually reluctant to replace the polyfill with the foam since it's working so well.

tried the "fish pad" mod
washed it thoroughly, didnt taste burning, but flavors that were fruity just wouldnt come through. Stuff like coffee tasted fine just dulled
Gone back to the PTB; I cut mine on the top and bottom so its like a ring then fold it in half and roll it up really tight, then pinch and roll till it loosens up a bit, works perfect never drips unless i over fill too much

The ADM mod is much better in performance than the straight up blue foam. You can use the blue foam as the ADM plug. You need to use the standard depth of the foam, just cut a square a little larger than the opening of the cart and tuck the ends in between the spriing and cart wall. I am sure poly works just as well with this, but the blue foam never gives off nasty plastic or burnt tastes.
If using blue foam by itself, cut the piece so it is much wider at top than the bottom. This way the air spaces are larger at the bottom and more compressed toward the top. This will give more consistent draining of the cart.
