Eheim filterpad mod

[BubbleBobble]

Was using this mod, and it was working beautifully. Vaping completely dry everytime. Yesterday, my vape went from great, to unbelievably horrid! The taste turned completely plastic/chemical/burnt! It was scary, and no matter what I did, I couldn't rid my atty of it! It was horrible. I hadn't been washing my blue foam fillers at all, and that was the 4th or 5th day I was using the same carts with the same blue foam, I now think this may have had something to do with it. So I have to suggest that everyone wash out the foam before use. After a few uses, you should either change or wash out the blue foam. At least that's what I have gathered after reading this thread and my own experiences...

Hi folks, having trawled thru this very long but interesting and amusing thread can I add another thought.

For those who're concerned about the chemical makeup of aqua foam, a sealing plug cut from a kingsize cigarette filter (as used for rollups) works well and adds a layer of 'just in case' filtration. FYI have been experimenting with a JS V3 using 801 carts. Actually, the cig filters just by themselves also wicked well but def not quite as effectively as combined with aquafoam cart inserts. Filters do however slightly dull the taste.

I just had nagging doubts about the wisdom of inhaling polyurethane composites and was coughing a bit the next day. I'm now sourcing medical grade non-toxic filter foam (as used in medical dressings, syringe filters etc) - searchterm 'medical reticulated foam uk' - which is hopefully less risky.

Hi Y'all,

Just got my first e-cigs last week and did the cart refill a few minutes ago using the Aquaclear filter insert foam (white) and it worked like a charm. Loaded 23 drops of juice in a 510 cart. No leaky and fine, fine vapor.

Also, thanks to everyone for all the great info on the site. Has made my switch from analog to vapor to super success.

Definitely wash out your foam every 5-10 uses. Especially if you're using VG. Doesn't take long, just run it under warm water, squeezing it out a few times. Then squeeze out any remaining water and press against a paper towel. If you really want it dry, leave it out in the air a few hours (I'm impatient, I just damp dry it, refill and go again).
