i think we all know the small condoms thats delivered with the carts ?
he cut 3mm wide of it off and used that as a vertical spring.

i try it out now. this way, those with worries about the metal spring should be safe and they don't have to search the house or stores for springs or foams.

Did he just drop it in the cart sideways?

Im guessing he cut it so he had a ring of rubber kinda like a O ring.. and inserted it sidways so it still works like a spring >>> i think this is what he is saying... chime in Kelemvor

Really you should be able to find alot of things that will stop the plug from pushing down in the cart you could probly even use somthing as simple as a toothpic really cut it down to the right size and rest it on the tabs inside the cartridge...

I was going threw a junk drawer looking for somthing to hold up the plug and picked up a pen when It hit me I could cut the spring down wedge it in there to hold up a peice of polly... I tried it and it worked so I did a write up and video.. if sombody else thought of it before me kudo's to them... But saying that im just reinforcing sombodys else's Idea is somwhat discrediting to me.. but whatever im not trying to be the hero of e-cig forums I just wanted to help some others out with a Idea I had while working.

Tried to word that as carefully as possible

. Your idea was unique, not saying you took it from someone else. Just as I have done cart venting and such to find it has already been done. Was a unique idea, but approached already. Using a spring to push poly against the bridge is the same for all practical purposes, as long as the "plug" covers the cart opening.

It was an awesome idea, and thanks to you and whoever may of had a similiar idea prior (better?)

Now, we need a clear glass or plastic cart with three bridge layovers to support the plug pad and free up the room the spring uses for more fluid. Keeping the cart clear would allow quick reference to how full it is!

don't know, it was only an idea.
i just did it. and for now it seems to work well.

seems if you can cut 2mm with scissors it should also be fine.
my wife just took a few pictures, maybe this is a better explanation:

hope it helps

Its all good man ... I do really like the idea of a clear cartridge, not to mention how cool it would be to see the vapor coming threw....

Looks good to me Kelemvor! I dont see why that would not be just as effective

however is rubber safe? lol.. who knows but one thing is for sure all these mods have to be better then smoking analogs

Ideally I think a piece of extremely coarse/porous filter material would be ideal to fill the majority of the cart - especially if it could be permanently bonded to the thin layer of filter that would touch the bridge.

Something like:

I have a suggestion for this, think it sounds possible?:

For the course material possibly use the fish tank sleeves then the normal cart filler on top, and spin a sring down through them both to get them attached. I am suggesting the blue foam as unless you cut the foam larger than the cart it is very porous, and does not stop a leak untill compressed further by using a larger section.

Just add spring in the middle of the pic above for finished product.

Spining the spring through both before insertion is probably the best way, then insert the completed assemly into the cart.

Glue wouldnt be a good idea lol, as bond material/method needs to be porous, hence the idea of using a spring. Another aproach might be to use some sort of mesh or bar on the top to hold everything in, but I cant think of an ideal mesh (or method to get mesh to stay in), and the bar idea would either need to be glued in place (not good) or have micro holes drilled in the side of cart ( more work than I feel this warrants lol) to slide the bar(s) through.

Definitely looks good, and sure it would do the trick. I think the spring displaces a little less room. I do not believe temperatures are getting to the point to melt the rubber, and inhaling through a spring??? Well, compared to what I've smoked in my history... a spring is the least of my concerns
