    Try putting it in lenthwise, it'll need to be shortened, but the diameter should be ok.

    Just an FYI : Don't bother trying to use a little piece of fleece instead of polyfill (or whatever) as a plug with this mod.

    I thought it might work because it has no strings, never unravels, and would be easy to rinse out. Yeah - I was wrong. It works at first, but then stubbornly holds on to the liquid instead of wicking it to the atty. Might work for PG users, but I'm strictly VG.

    Yes... with the 401 I would try running the spring lengthwise.. like I am trying with my little Revolver (M702) carts.

    I scored a bunch of stainless springs.... so I'm now less concerned about having them in there with my fluid.

    Thread is tl;dr, so I don't know if its been mentioned.
    I did this mod and its great. And what's awesome is you can hold the cart up to a light and check your "oil level".
    Way cool.

No tweezers or voodoo required. The membrane top then comes in contact with the atty bridge when you put the cartridge on the PV.

    The "spring mod" gets you the functional effect... the hinged membrane top just makes it a lot easier to use.

    Kristin, that thing is a great idea. It could be just pop it in and go!

    I took a drinking straw, snipped off a piece, then slit it up the side. It coils itself a little smaller so that it fits into a 901 cart with room left over.

    I would not be using copper. Even copper cooking pots have to be galvanized on the inside.

    I think those nylon springs sound good.

    Default Best mod ever

    Ok so I'm using only 401 / EVO and then parts from China - passthrough more batteries atomizers, etc...
    I thought I had found the perfect solution with PTB as it worked perfectly the first times but once washed and reused it acted like polifill...
    Then I read about your post ! Amazing with a vertical spring and a little of FLuval on top for 401 ! THKS A LOT !!!!!
