Green Dish Scratchy Pad

And they're very purdy.. they go with my eyes (red).

This is what I got at Target...

These are the right ones, yes?

When I cut a plug for my 510 cart, the material seemed way too thick and dense to let anything through.

Do i need to cut/tear the pad in half to reduce the thickness? Does the pad have a "grain" to it? Should I install it with the "side" of the pad toward the atty?

I know some of you are using the blue with great success; I just can't envision how any juice can travel through it. When I hold the pad up a light source, I can't really see through it. The pad(unwashed) is approx. 6 mm thick. When I hold a piece of unwashed blue foam(rite-size sleeves) up to the same light, it lets much more light through and I can easily discern detail of objects in the background. With the blue scotchbrite, all I see is tiny pinholes of light shining through. I have to triple-fold the foam sleeve to get the same masking effect.

The scotchbrite just seems way too dense.

What am I doing wrong??

Well Scottbee is only using it for a plug in the end, but that would indicate that it does in fact wick liquid.

You didn't mention if you actually tried it in your PV.
I can envision things, or not envision them, all day long,
and in either case nothing happens.

In any case i was only trying this stuff because i'm in a rinky-dink town
and i have to make do with what i can find until i can get to the big city.
At the moment i'm back to the spring mod and ordinary filler
because the pads got little bits inextricably stuck in my atty
even after i trimmed them real careful.
But if you do try it, you could either do like Scottbee did,
or i just cut them to size and stuck them in lengthwise.

The ones i've had aren't quite wide enough to fill the cart,
and so i've had to pull them apart a bit,
which might be how i got the loose bits in there and so
paying close attention might be a way to avoid it.

Do you have blue foam, and find it insufficient?
Because i'm like, all eager to get to a pet store cause
i thought it would solve my last problem.

Hahaha. Totally. Well said. TBH, I didn't actually try it.

I do have the blue foam and have tried a few different mods with it. First I made a small slug. Not big enough so i think it leaked and flooded my atty. No gurgles during a hit, but when I pulled off the battery and cart and blew through the atty a TON of juice came out. Then I tried a doubled-over "V" shape. Results inconclusive. Then I tried the BFD(dart) mod. Leaked. Flooded atty and mouthpiece.

I have not given up on the blue foam, however. I will continue to experiment until I get this right. The most frustrating thing is when I read the fantastic success other vapers have had with a wide array of cart mods, but I can't get one to work to my satisfaction.

PS - Every now and then, I get a great tasting, full-bodied, ample vapor hit. It's these "surprises" that keep me interested in finding a solution.
