Reservoir Straw & Plug Mod (RSP Mod)

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

Here is the thread I started on the subject. There are links to several choices. I recommend the needle tip bottle for refilling a plug modded cart. If you don't have to remove the plug to refill.

Still having issues with it getting sucked into the atty. Maybe I need to make it longer. Weird - didn't have this issue at ALL with the first plug!

Ok, um...figured out my problem. I forgot to put the STRAW in the cart!! LOL Couldn't figure out why it was so bad, lol. I never thought to look into the cart for the straw!!

I think the plug center gets sucked into the straw a bit with use, which keeps it from going into the atty as it dries.

OK, I put the straw back in. I'm experimenting again, though. I cut the straw in half, lengthwise, so it looks like a "C" on the ends. Same length. Still notched the mouth end. Taking out 1/2 the straw should leave more room for additional liquid.

I'll report back!

Ok guys, what do you think about this for a straw mod:



Basically cutting a ring on legs out of the straw. Same length straw we are currently using - maybe a little shorter. Would leave the majority of the reservoir open and a ring at the top to hold the plug and secure it from being pulled into the atty.

If you squeeze the plug into it a bit, it'll hold the plug there, yet let the plug fan out above it, in the cart opening, to expand to fill the cart opening.

OK, one more that may fix the refill issue:



The tab sticks out of the cart about 2mm. The total height of it is about 7mm, so the top of the straw is recessed 5mm, like it currently is.

The plug is inserted into the ring just enough to hold it and the top of the plug is flush with the top of the cart, then "fluffed out" to fill the top of the cart.

For refills, pull the tab just enough to reveal the open space in the straw below. Drip into that space to fill, slide back into the cart - never have to touch the plug itself.

What do you think?

Hi there, I am curious to know if any of you have tried the large buf puf sponge, I bought one thats says "regular" and it dosent seem to have any additives, the smaller ones that I assume everyone is using say to contain a cleanser that I really dont want to vape.
The link can be found at googling the 3m web page has a store where you can see the description of the large and small buf pufs.
Any thoughts?

will the blue fish tank foam work better than this, anyone tried it?
I currently vape with a M702 which ha a very small cartridge so the dimensions everyone is discussing about wont apply for mine, anyone tried this with the M702?

Only one person is using the smaller one with soap. I've only been using the larger one and cutting it down to size. I use the Walgreen's brand buff puff.

Yes, some people are finding success using the straw and blue foam!

OK, guys, the straw cut into the "C" shape doesn't hold the plug in the cart.

Now I'm trying the other straw mod. Instead of cutting out a square shape, I cut out 2 REALLY wide and long notches - almost to the top of the straw - leaving two "legs" for the straw to stand on.



I'll let you know how it goes!

Round arch? Would think it would make it stronger and not collapse. To cut it would be tough tough.. Maybe use a hole punch for the arch and cut it down the sides with the scissors.

Hey all,
Long time lurker, first time posting...
I have tried a lot of the mods on here, and so far this has been the best experience I've had with vapin'. One thing tho is I've tried with the BP material and it just didn't work for me. Too much fussin' with an over sized pad trying to get dimensions right. I've found with the scotch brite no scratch pads that there are layers as described with the BP stuff. you just have to spread it apart a little and there they are. also, when you first wash out the pad and let it dry, it does tend to shrink a bit but when turned to the side like the BP its just the right size for the 510's cart. so far I've vaped all my carts dry, and its worked on thick and thin juice.

I'm gonna try the new refill mod but I really havent had too much fuss with pullin filler out. I took a Chaps male manicure set and converted it to hold some extra batts, attys, and a set of tweezers. I just take filler out set in case, fill, and put back in cart.


Anyways, I wanted to say thank you for all the work that has been done. Also on the new straw mod with just the legs and the o-ring, I would think the legs would buckle if not cut exactly to right length. I remembered back when you guys were talkin bout having just a ring in the cart and I tried that with a fast food straw. i cut maybe 2 to 3mm off the top of the straw, then snipped it so i could roll it to the size of the top of cart and so it would lay on the ledges, filled and put filler on top. it worked but after a few times it would grab on the filler and come out with it, or it would compress a lil and get shoved in the cart a bit... if it was a complete circle without the snip i think it could work or if i would glue it in place it would work... i didnt have any leaks.

well thanks again,
Marko
