Played golf today. I used one cart for each nine. I was great. They each lasted two hours of golf vaping! Now if my Protege will ever get here I won't have to change batteries all the time!!!
Also found a single pack sold for $6 including shipping... you dont need more than 1 sheet I dont think. (from amazon)
Pawtastic Pet Supplies @ Amazon.com: magnum foam sleeve
Sorry here everyone should do this:
Follow this link and add to shopping cart. Then enter MYCOUPON10 in the coupon section and pick the standard shipping. The grand total, including shipping for a 3pk will be under $9, but if you just want a single (not 3pk) it would cost something like $6 from the link I posted above.
You do the decision making. Worth $3 more for two extra sleeves?
OP: You should include these links with your original message?

Ok eclypse, I would like to try this mod but a couple questions:
- Only have a petco nearby and what I see is that I don't think they carry the exact 'Marineland' brand of U filters, I did find a
http://www.petco.com/product/2792/Ri...0-and-350.aspx
hope that is the same.
Also about the cart(510), I have 5 round and 5 flat carts. The round ones do have the 'lips' you mention to hold the foam but the flat carts I have do not have lips as defined as the round ones. This makes me wonder if this will work on them.
The mod to your mod here regarding placing something strawlike to hold the foam in place may be something that is needed for flat carts but I have not tried this.
Any ideas as to how to mod a cart without lips?
PMD, i believe thats where i bought mine locally. You may have to go there and look for it.. they prob just dont show it online. Could call them and see as well.
Really hard to tell from the pic but it kinda looks like Fluval.. If its stringy, its fluval. You'll know if its the right stuff if it looks spongy.
Thanks for the info.. i never had the flat tip carts and always wanted to try them. Yeah if theres no inner lip then you'll have to try the straw with the foam. I'm sure it would work fine with the straw. never tried it though.
AWESOME TO HEAR! WOW, crazy!
Wish i could edit the original post.. Must have some time frame in place where after such a time i cant edit the post. Sucks, cause it would save people from going threw pages after pages to see the final product and answers there looking for.
I don't think it's the same. That stuff looks two-tone, like it has two different filter materials (possibly) bonded together.
Any aquarium will have something similar to the Marineland stuff. And it's doubtful that it will be exactly the same unless it's Marineland with the same coarse-ness. Or whatever the right word is. If you follow eclypse's dimension exactly then you better have the exact same stuff. Otherwise, do what I did: Cut a piece too big. If the atomizer dries up while there's still liquid in the cart then trim a *little* off and try again. If the piece is too small, it will flood the atomizer, so try again.
But one thing that I think is important, but I'm not positive, is that this Marineland stuff - this exact package - is that the thickness seems to be ideal for a 510.
Well this is slightly different than what I posted before but I will have to go there to see in person
Rite-Size Foam/Filter Sleeves for HOT Magnum at PETCO
and because I love the flat carts so much, it might take some experimenting or else I can only do this with the round ones.
But you have a good idea in this mod so for now I modded your mod by using the orig stuffing in the cart and covering with a piece of ptb and placing it just as a 'cap' in a filled cart (round), the process does work.
Will need that foam stuff though.
Thanks for the mod, so many ideas to make vaping a better, easier, I hope, experience. My ptb's have been ok but so much wasting of juice and time has gotten me needing something better.
pmd. The stuff in the second link you posted is the correct foam. Use your ptb to make some nice tea!!! You won't be needing it once you try this.
