    I was having problems with it drying up prematurely using ECOpure liquid and went back to the original plug mod and all is well. It seems strange that the folded method worked better for me with the thicker HV liquid and the 1st method works better with the thinner stuff.

    It seems like it would be the other way around.

    Hi Kermie. I've noticed that sometimes when I leave my ecig on my desk, that a small amount sometimes leaks out. That's with the regular filler in the carts.

    I'll know for sure when this one dries up but from the looks of things, that may be a while yet.

    Thanks for all of your efforts Eclypse, much appreciated!
    I am using crap vanilla mixed with vg, it's supposed to be 30mg but feels like 8

    anyways,.. I guess the vg makes it thicker but I could fill the cart, cap it with a piece of the blue foam size u, turn it upside down and it wouldn't leak... It also seems you can keep reusing the carts you modded with the blue plug... I've been using the same 5 carts for a few days now, I just refill them with fluid when they go dry. I ordered a syringe that would make this even easier. I don't know if this works with pg mixes, but with the vg mix it doesn't leak.. a full cart lasts me over 3 hours... I can still get Vapor after that, but I choose to just change them out or refill after 3 hours for the full vape effect. I'll try to get motivated today to demonstrate in another video

    I don't have any of the blue foam, so haven't tried it. However I have those flat green scrubbers for washing pots. I tried that as a plug and it works great. Got it right my first try. Doesn't leak or flood the atty. This stuff is to hard to measure and cut. Moves around too much. So I just cut a stip about the width of the cart end and then cut a piece off of that a bit bigger than the cart. I just held the green scrub material againt the end of the cart where it goes with my one finger on top of the cart (mouth end) and one nail on the scrub material and then using good snips, I just cut around it using the carts' outside as my guide. Worked perfect. I made a dozen plugs that way. Have to be a bit careful. I gouged the cart end a teeny bit in one spot doing this. But it makes a perfect measuring guide. The thickness of the cart wall just gives the right amount extra that's needed to hold it perfectly in place. Don't see why this wouldn't work with the foam too. I also tried one using a paper punch. It comes out a bit smaller, but I tried it and it seems to work ok too. But for good measure, I made the rest with the cut around method. A bit bigger and a better fit.

    Be careful!! The green scrubbers usually have metal abrasive particles embedded in them. You're better off using the non-scratch scrubbers that don't have the abrasives added. They are often colored blue.

    That would be this mod Reservoir Straw & Plug Mod (RSP Mod)

    Make sure that scrubber dont have abrasives.

    Vaporhead.. Cant tell from your video but are you putting the plug in the top of the cart vertical or horizontal? If its vertical, i've tried that before but it seemed that the natural thickness was'nt enough and it would leak with my thin juice.

    Oh and nice video.. Alot better then last time since you tried talking this time. hehe.

    P.S. You need to change the name from fluval to foam.. There both the same as in fish tank filters but there totally different material.

    Default Still find it works with flat tips, too...

    Hey - eclypse - great instructional!!! As I'm still partial to the flat tip carts, it's still working for me even without a straw to hold it up. I'll be trying the folded slug and see how it works with the flat tips as well (sans straw...)
    BTW - yesterday I showed it to a co-worker I got started on a 510 - this morning he was ecstatic with the way the blue foam worked - said he vaped 5 hours straight last night.....

    I think in the video I put it in horizontal but I've tried it both ways I haven't really noticed a difference, this vg is really think so it doesn't leak. Vertical might be better idk I'm still a noob, .............. just armed with a cam
