Reservoir Straw & Plug Mod (RSP Mod)

[a2dcovert]

I haven't measured the length of the straw but it is the same debth as the vent ridges so that the plug is resting on the top of the straw and the vent indentations. It worked all fay for me just fine. WHen the draw gets lean the cart is dry. The plug doesn't drop into the cart as the top of the straw combined with the vents combinefed with the straw combinrd with the ridges hold thing in place. Worked great all day long.

Hi Kevin, what material are you using for the plug now? What dimensions too?

I've been having issues on day 2 with the new liquid with the BP plug being sucked into the atty several times - but my plug would be less deep than yours, as my straw was much taller than the vent ridges....

Hi A2,

Try it without the straw and see what you think. I believe we may have come up with dimensions for the plug that won't require the straw for BP. See if it works for you. We need a beta test.

I just switch back to Xhale with the new dimensions. The plug depth is 8mm. It works perfect. This tells me that flow control is dependent on length and width. Depth is important for plug travel stop and atty interface.

Base line plug sizes for 510 cart

Thicker fluid plug dimension: 4-5w x8L x8d mm
Thinner fluid plug dimension: 6w x9L x8d mm

I am using the Walgreens version of the PB pads. The dimensions are 5x9x7 roughly. I place that plug into the cart and I have to trim about 1 to 2mm that stick out the top. I cut it flush with the top. This inceased dimension hasn't effected the wicking speed so it still works well on the prodigy. Before this I was having a problem of the filler sticking to the atty bridge and being pulled out when I removed the cart from the atty. This material has so far retained it's shape and density. It also hasn't stuck to the atty bridge and remains in the cart.

So far the needle tipped dropper bottle is working very well. I can refill the cart from the reservoir without disturbing the plug. I insert the needle slowly between the plug and the atty wall on the curved sides of the cart. I squeeze the bottle until the juice rises to the top of the plug,

I have tried the original size plug without the straw but the plug eventually was being pushed down into the cart and losing contact with the bridge. The single smaller OD straw works well so far.

I'm back to using the straw. My plug is 5mm wide, 9-10mm long and 10mm deep (I trim off the excess, as well, so it probably ends up being about 7-8mm in the end. However, when I actually CUT it to 7-8mm, it seems to not expland properly. Cutting it longer and then trimming the excess let's it expand better. My straw is 10mm. I added 2 more vent notches at the bottom, for a total of 4.

I'm now on a new cart - a round tip - and new flavor (HV Mint Chocolate Chip.)

This flavor didn't do much for me using the polyfill, but with the BP I can suddenly REALLY taste the flavor! Now I'll probably tear through this bottle, lol!

I think maybe because the straw keeps the plug in place, it keeps air from cirulating around it too much and loosening it up, to get sucked into the atty? Only thing I can think of!

I have a 3 hour road trip to Milwaukee today - it'll be interesting to see how the plug performs!

I was pleased today I was out of the office and was able to handle the single straw BP plus very well. It lasted a long time and just carried enough carts to switch instead of trying to top off. This is the best so far.

Hey all.. newbie here

So I tried the straw and roughly 1/3 of the original "batting/poly/you know what I mean" and I just want to say...

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

and by that I mean men and women ( and I should probably clarify to the men.. in a manly way.. you know.. the almost hug tap tap on the back, not really touching shoulder bump kinda way.. cause some are so freaked about buying women's cosmetic type stuff )

I wasn't getting the vapour or flavour I was expecting from my 510 I got a week ago today. Finally decided to try the straw deal and daaaaammnnnnn!!

TY TY TY!

It so rocks hard!

I should also mention that somewhere in this thread I thought I saw someone talking about a needle(ish) type thing that you can buy at the hobby store to put the liquid in without removing the plug...

We use that very thing at work for glue, so if it can handle that I am quite confident that it can handle the "juice"

For my fellow canucks that are reading this, the juice I used with my setup was from vapables

I personally would like to thank all of the inventive people for coming up with the various mods. I have tried just about all of them and definitely find the best results with RSP mod with the blue foam plug. I've been using it for about a week and get great vape and throat hit for the longest period of time. Just be sure not to over fill the cart. Again THANKS!!!
