Just an opinion...... Go to the Eheim Filler thread...... I think this meathod would work just like this, but without the hassle......

Whats the hassle? I think having to go buy more filter material is more of a hassle to me, then cutting it down to fit the cart not to mention its taking up space in the cart that the juice could be filling.. and most pepole have a click pen laying around the house.. Im sure 99% of us still have the polly that came in there carts. this was somthing simple pepole can try with common materials laying around the house..

Call me slow... I understand everything except Archer's diagram...
Not understanding the holes and if the PTB is used in the "normal" fashion or laid horizontal across...
Hmm, I am thinking the spring method Scottyballs or even bockafers posted is a winner...
I will try this definitely... Thx for the heads up!
..Bockafer, your method is similar to putting a straw at the bottom of the cart rather than along the side though, yeah?
I had thought of that with the straw cut about 1/4- 1/2 inch section and dropped at the bottom of the cart fill liquid and then add wicking because the carts for the Sidesho are fashioned w/ a 'split" at the bottom so you have "space" where juice sits w/o filler sitting IN it... - only change w/ the Sidesho cart is I believe the PTB enables it to wick better, for some reason the Fluval/ polyfill doesn't get all the liquid wicked up as it should... The 401 works great w/ Fluval/ polyfill... at any rate, I will try the spring method...
*** I have still been wondering if REAL wick that is used for oil lamps and candles would work... you can buy raw at the craft store... (raw meaning not already coated w/ anything)...
I still plan on getting some to just try it out as well...
well i tried some ptb mods and other things, but this one is really fine.
btw, greetings from some other members of a german e-cig board. a few tried the very easy to do spring mod and it works better for them than teabags.
i see no need for straw or ptb anymore. not on a 510
Im sure PTB would work somwhat But.. the problum I have with it is that it dose not surround the attys core good.. and after you pull it off and put it back on its deformed and needs to be replaced with a new piece .. the polly you can reuse as much as you want and always comforms around the attys core
i have at least 2 confirmed success messages from totally drippers. and that means something.
PS: i just got a reply from a e-cig newbie who was already disappointed, no tips in the last 2 weeks seemed to help him get more than 10 drags without burned taste.
he just stopped after 30 drags on his 510 and is finally happy with the device.
scotty, i have to thank you from various esmokers from germany and europe for this easy but effective mod.![]()
There is no need to mod my 510s as I figured out the straw mod with poly and don't believe I could (or would need to) increase vapor production any further.
However, for some reason, the straw mod didn't work as well with my 901. This spring mod did it. Thanks!
I haven't seen that mod yet. I'm using a very small amount of filler and atomizer wick material as a barrier at the edge of the cart, everything thing else in the cart is free/empty space for juice. Refilling and maintenance is a bit tedious but if it concept works out well across a few of the different atomizers I may try to machine a bottom filler version where the cart doesn't have to be removed to refill it.

but if *the* concept works out ...
I think I've vaped myself stupid with this mod.
