I owe you a lot of gratitude! This has worked perfect for me all day. It was so nice in the car not having to fiddle with dripping and topping off. It amazes me that there are no leaks! Anyone using this mod should rate the thread. 5 stars for me!
I guess we'll have to send you to southern drawl school if you're planning on staying down here..lol..
great idea... thanks scottyB
i just found a source of DIFFERENT SIZED springs for testing!!!
ya know the allen wrenches that come on the keyring type holders... they have TIGHT springs around the wrenchs ( got 3 carts off one spring and could have gotten 4),,, this was the only source of srings i had at the house. ya know what they say "USE WHAT YA GOT''
here is a link to the item i canablized my first springs from, and i'm gonna test with different sized springs to see which one gives the best result for me anyway
once agian thanks.... i had to cut my juice back from 36 to about 26 since the vape seems stronger (maybe due to the easy draw and the better wicking of the juice.
i'll post back in a few days with results of my spring size tests.

Excellent idea! When I went to try this I thought I might want to try putting the filler INSIDE the spring and cut the spring so it fits the long way! I use the wool roving filler and it has taken a few tries but is working great now. I'll be experimenting with it more in the next day or two. Right now the depth at which the spring/filler is placed is the determining factor of success. I'm going to look for a spring that fills the opening a little more completely.
Nice Mod Scotty, did it last night, my spring was too big around, still worked but I'm sure with a smaller spring this will be perfect.
Thanks
thought about something like this when people were talking about putting reg foam on top of the fish filter plastic
great job![]()
Geez, everytime I mod one of my carts with the newest idea, something even more new comes out. Now I have to try this
i stretched the springs out before use so i could get 3 to 5 mods out of each spring. they are slightly thicker than an ink pen spring and work great after strecthing them out.
thanks for the tip on the spring spacing, but thankfully i had it resolved before i posted the original post with the picture link. i just forgot to mention that i was stretching the spring.
btw i've yet to empty the first cart..
but as soon as it's empty i have 5 others made with different spring sizes to try out and compare to my first one
