Glad to hear! Thanks for letting me know.
One thing occurred to me. When all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, what was working fine stops working, try rinsing out the cart well and drying it. Then cut a new piece of foam and put it in. In other words Start over from scratch! It seems that the foam will work well for a few carts then stops. I suppose you could clean it well and dry it also. I cut long strips of blue foam using a paper cutter like this BRAND NEW: 15 X 12 PAPER CUTTER METAL BASE office/tools - eBay (item 250547073448 end time Dec-18-09 14:53:02 PST) to about 1/4" thickness and just keep clipping about a 3/4" piece to use as a "slug" whenver I need a new one. You can get hundreds of slugs from one package of blue foam. I think maybe the "cart demons" only attack used slugs.
I have read alot of this thread and things keep being changed. I do not know which way to go to make this. Maybe make a new thread explaining this again. Would be most helpful.
Whoa, a super slug cutter! lol.. Sweet! Ya know i thought of something like that long ago as i've used something like that at a Kincos before. Didnt know they had a small version of a paper cutter though.One thing occurred to me.

Nice! I could see spending a day cutting up a thousand slugs for resale! hehe.
Oh, i usually pat my slug dry durring every refill. Gota clear all those passage ways to make sure it will wick. Clugged up slug is no good. So i hear ya on that. Though this slug is an old slug that i'm using right now and its all good.
When 8PM hits and i start to have probs i'll surely grab a new slug to see if that cures the cart Demons.
Only 68 mins of pure bliss to trouble will show up! hehe.
Still going strong since the 2nd refill.
Not really.. the Plug and the Slug are the same.. Once the HV slug is final i'll have the forum mods change the first link to point to the newest version for the HV Slug.
So really theres currently 3 final versions of the plug.. the last one was a bust - Shotgun slug. I'll have the mod remove that link.
As usuall.. people change the size of the plug to fit there needs as e-juice comes in different thicknesses. Dont let the HUGE post scary you away.. The links to the final product is on the front page in the first post and my current version will always be in my Signature so people can find it quickly.
Thanks eclypse. Not as confusing since you explained this. I will be keeping my eye out for the HV one.
No reason to wait around for me.. Just make the slug as normal at 1/4" wide and 3/4" long and insert it upside down and vape away!
Still going good over here with the HV Slug.
I guess the cart mod demons are late and busy messing with someone else.. or they thought they did such a number on me yesterday that it was all that was needed! hehe.
Thanks again Pete!

OK so I went out and bought the cool blue foam filter from PAGE 1...exactly the same product as in your pictures. Now, forgive me for not reading all the pages of this thread (its a flipping novel!) but I am hearing a lot about a "plug". What is this plug you are referencing and why won't the blue foam alone work? Can I just cut out a piece of foam, stick it in and call it good? Or is this plug necessary? Sorry, I'm just a bit overwhelmed. And clarification would be extremely helpful as I don't have a fishtank to use my new filter in.
The first page has the links to all versions.. Forget the 3rd one for now.OK so I went out and bought the cool blue foam filter from PAGE 1...exactly the same product as in your pictures.

No you cant just cut a random piece and call it good.. You may get lucky eye balling it though. Not that big of a deal to cut though with the way i shown. You'll end up making a crap load in no time after cuttin a few long strips.
You can just shove a piece down in the cart and fill it up.. though its too dense and will hold alot of juice down in the cart after you think its dry.
Plug works best as its all that needed to hold the juice in the cart. The juice will be right where you want it to be and thats right there at the atty ready to wick when needed. No straws or filler taking up space in the cart.. so you'll get maximum space for your juice.
When its time to refill, remove the plug with a pair of tweezers and pat the plug dry between a paper towel and fill up the tank and reinsert it.. add a drop or 2 on top if needed. You wont beable to just top off like you may be used to.
Personally i would have nightmares trying to cut the original again! lol.. Thats why i like the slug more. Its easy to cut.
The slug should last a long time.. but if it starts to give you problems change it out. I guess it could lose its springiness overtime.. though i have not experianced it myself yet.
For using a high voltage device 5-6+ volts use my new HV slug.. Just flip the slug over and insert it backwards and your good to go!
MAKE SURE TO WASH IT GOOD FIRST! Theres some lind of wax coating on the foam and you'll need to wash it off.
