This one looks alot better than the mod with the hole in the bottom directly in line with the two holes which lead to your mouth.

You can offset the hole so it dosen't line up, I haven't any juice in mouth problems in almost 7 months of vapin with it. The main reason I like the hole in the middle is over time the hole gets clogged and I have to poke a straight pin into the hole to clear it.

Which is easier than taking the whole cart apart to clean the hole out. Hope this helps hehe. Glad you guys use the vent hole mod, now when I get new carts I mod them all hehe. I'm all for whatever works for ya hehe, if you have to wire it up with twizzlers and install a flux capacitor on it, go for it I say lol.

I just gave this mod a shot on my protege, and love it; although I may be doing it a bit different. I have one hole in the side of the cart, but if I do not cover the hole with my lip it seems to be to "airy" so I cut the juice trap off so that I did not have to stick the entire cart in my mouth. At first I was a little weary about cutting it, but been 2 days now with no juice in my mouth. Whenever it seems the atomizer is getting dry I just take a small hit with the hole uncovered, and its as if I dripped a few drops perfectly on the bridge for another 10-12 hits. The carts seem to be lasting me much longer now though, where as on my drive home from work/school (30-45 min drive) I normally had to pray to catch a red light half way to refill (only time I hope to catch a red light) now it will last me the entire drive home chain vaping.

Only downfall (which may actually be a plus as well) is when I am refilling if I put one to many drops it'll leak out of the small hole on the side, but like I said this may be a plus seeing as I have not flooded my atomizer once since doing this. I'm getting about 10-12 drops before the leak though.

I have found that changing my poly fill twice a day instead of every other day makes this mod work better. I switched to Nhales HV Pralines and Cream juice (really dark) this morning with new poly fill so once I sense a vapor/flavor reduction I will pull the poly fill out to see how much is left inside of the cart.

Ok so I just changed my poly fill (chain vaped since about 7:30am CST till now) -- It had some juice still on it but not really enough to panic over honestly, one drop maybe less. I did change the poly fill once the flavor/vapor reduced though I'm sure I could have gotten that last bit out if I would have took one or two more draws though.

So far this has become my "holy grail" of cartridges mods. I put a little more poly fill than normal this go round, and so far it seems to be better. I fit about 16-17 drops, plus it created a harder draw (which I prefer).

P.S. - Just a tip: I've found that if I start my drag with the hole uncovered for a second or two then cover it for the last three or four seconds the throat hit/flavor/vapor are outstanding. Its taking some time to get into the habit of doing but when I think about it... WOW!

Seems i've noticed something else which dawned on me the other day. Using the mod helps the poly hold its shape. Normally the poly-fil will squish over a short period of time and not make good contact with the bridge anymore. You'll notice when you pull the poly out that its much shorter. Well everytime i pull my poly out (which now is every other day cause i'm lazy) its at full length!

Seems to be changing the pressure in the cart as air is able to flow in and out easier its not putting pressure on the filler. Thats a good thing!

Also is seriously easy to fill and refill carts with the hole. I actually just leave the hole uncovered now and just add drops to the top of the poly and watch the drops just soak right in and down fast threw the filler as theres no air traped in the cart. I know when its toped off when i start to see some liquid come threw the hole.

T.S. Interesting.. Gota grab some lunch, when i'm done i'll re-read your post so i can grasp what your doing. Glad you like it!

Oh, its been like nearly a month now with the vent mod and, NO BURNT TASTE!

eclypse · 10-26-2009, 09:21 PM

T.S. Interesting stuff.. I too recetnly got a Protege! Love it.

You may want to try making a smaller hole.. but if its working good for you dont change anything.

I like the idea of changing the poly out a couple times a day as well. Easy and cheap enough to do so why not keep the cig working its best!

Thats what i like about the poly-fil.. cheap and simple.

I've been vaping differently for the past couple of days. The way i've been doing it is by also not taking in too much air which leads to thining out the flavor and throat hit.

Ever put your toung near the whole on the mouth piece? Try it. You'll notice that theres a small suction going on when you first hit the button. When the atty fires up its drawin in air threw every hole it can all by its self. So why even bother sucking?

What i do is just put my mouth over the mouth piece and then hit the button.. this forces the atty to draw in air from batt/atty connection holes and ofcourse the hold around the cart. Then i wait about a sec or 2 for the atty to heat up good and start burning the juice. Then i do the normal mouth hit but draw in very minimal air as possable.I do that for about 3 more sec. So in total about a 5 sec hit and you'll be enjoying the full flavor of the juice and get a real nice throat hit at the same time.

I gota try that Nhales HV Pralines and Cream juice. I seriously love Pralines and Cream ice cream. hehe.

I'm stuck with about 10 bottles of TW marlboro 24ML 30ML bottles... I've cut it down to half with no nic of the same. Thought it was good till my father handed me a bottle of tobacoo flavor from www.cloud9smoking.com . Damn is that some awesome flavor! Bottle ran dry about a week ago

Not bad at $20 for a 30ML bottle though, cheaper around $16 each if you buy a 6 pack.

Gota come into some money so i can grab me a 6 pack of that and some trial bottles of that P&C and others.

Thanks for the heads up, just tried it on my 401... nice.
