Help with 401 Pyramid Teabag mod

[penguoctopus]

So I bought a dragon (which I am absolutely ecstatic with, might I add) and I was interested in trying this mod. I tried it three times and every time I would get the most powerful throat hit and wonderful flavor in the universe, then by the third drag it goes to NO throathit (like vaping water or something) and a PUFF of vapor. I'm wondering if I did it wrong somehow. I'm using all the techniques I've observed in the videos online and I seem to be doing everything right, I just get a regular cart, roll and fold the thing and stuff it in, after which I drench it in eliquid (not overfill, obviously). The e-cig is a 401 (i believe) and I'm just looking for a bit of help with my issue. I've heard nothing but good about this mod and have experienced it for myself about 6 drags worth. I would GREATLY appreciate the help and thank anyone in advance for advice or tips.

Try overfilling. Seriously.

Could be your notion of "drench" isn't the PTB's notion of it.

In my experience, PTB works not because it absorbs and wicks, but because it doesn't. It just fills up enough space to let the liquid's surface tension keep it suspended in the cart. If the liquid is permeating the PTB, but you don't see it glistening between the "rolls" in the cart, you probably need more. Try filling it until it's basically pooling at the top, and then put it on the atty without dripping any on the bridge (let the bridge soak up the excess right from the cart).

If overfilling with liquid doesn't work, try altering the amount of PTB you use. Pack it looser or tighter until you find the right combo that works with the 401 cart. I've noticed that a combo that works in a 510 cart doesn't work so well with a 901 and vice versa.
