Blue Foam PLUG! UPDATED v2.0 "THE SLUG" - The Search is over!

[eclypse]

I cant edit the first post anymore.. Have to ask a mod to do it for me.

I did add a note to the top of the version 2 plug about the fix with version 1.

I tried adding a thin layer of poly to the top of the plug long ago as i had leakage figuring out the right size. Didnt work good at all for me. Infact i could'nt handle the poly taste after using this for a few days hehe.

I remember not liking poly at first but i guess you get used to it after a day or 2. Adding the poly seemed to help hold the juice too good and not wick. Prob what was happening was that the poly dried out real quick and i was getting that burnt poly taste. If the poly ran dry the fluid behind it wont follow. Just like how if you just use polly or anything else.. The juice gets stuck down in the cart while the top part is dry.

I think the plug should be one piece ideally. Theary is that the top must stay wet at all times for the fluid behind it to follow. If the top dries the juice wont flow.

Think of it like this.. picture an inclined object, book or board. Now drip some water on the top and it will run down. Now drip again and it will follow the same path as the water line before if it touches the same line... Point is that if the top part is dry the juice below in another object will just sit there and not flow to the atty.. just rambling i guess. hehe.

No need to panic.. when i get my juice Monday (HOPEFULLY!) i'll get a real good idea how well its working for everyone else.. I still have 6 30ML bottles left so its not like i'm not gona mess around with the mod for both thick and thin juice.

It is nice to finally hear from other people with thin juice and see that there having a hard time getting it to not leak like i was.. thats why version 2 worked great to stop the leakage with my thin juice (PG Only). 3/4 length by 1/4 was good... i used a tweezers to help push the 2 halfs apart in the middle so there would'nt be too thick where it hit the atty. Cause if its too thick it will seem to run dry (lean).

I agree with you. The density of the plug can be varied acording to the viscosity of the liquid. I like the blue foam material because it will not sag and form around the bridge as the polyfil will. It seems to always spring back to it's original shape.

When you get the more viscus nic juice you will have to loosen up your plug to get it to wick properly. For my custom mix the version 2.0 works perfectly on my Protege.

none of mine have melted since I have positioning them correctly

Now that you have mention it, none of mine have either.

The flat side (of the flat carts that is) just don't take that heat coming off the atty in that empty space anymore.

...and I just bought a crap-load of new carts because the heat was shrinking 'em, so I was pitching them.

the sizzle is GREAT! The gurgling is bad!

I have one atomizer that sizzle-gurgles when it's working correctly, which - luckily - is almost always. But I switch between 2 PVs, and every once in a while I forget, and I curse the flooded atty when I hear the sizzle-gurgle. And I blow it out, curse it, re-prime, curse again, drip... and it sizzle-gurgles again, which makes me realize that I just wasted a bunch of time clearing an atomizer that wasn't flooded. So I curse again.

Before I saw this foam mod, I used the pyramid tea bags and quilt batting. I like the foam because it holds its shape, doesn't get all soggy like the other two. I'm finding I'm not having to top-off all the time. Nice! Thanks, eclypse!

Are you cleaning out both baffel chambers on the cart?

[Wormwood]

Yes, elcipse is right. You have to align the cart with the coil in the white tray. That's where the super hot coil wire is located. If you don't you will melt the cart on the flat side.

Thanks, i had to make sure b4 i start trying it on hv. I guess the mesh wick doesnt get as hot as the coils then right?

Oh yeah. When I first started I was a master at flooding an atty. I learned how to be a master at clearing them.

That's right the the mesh wick doesn't get very hot.

I forget sometimes about the second baffle. I'll clear the outer baffle go back to vaping and the gurgle will still be there, clear the second baffle and no more gurgle.

Last night I did the leak test on the version 2.0 plug using my juice, no leaks.
