Yet another cartridge filler thread

[Enfield]

I was initially very impressed with tea bag material, but now I am concerned about it holding to more fluid than it lets go of.
I bought some fluval pads and am working on my learning curve with that (for 510 and 801 carts).

You would think that a supplier would come up with a pre-made product that is already formed and ready to cut down to size. I am sure China could make a product that could be cut down to individual sizes for each different cart.

Sure, China *could* make filler plugs, but it makes much better business sense for them to make consumers pay for the whole cartridge assembly. I could see U.S. vendors making their own filler plug kits, similar to the way we see vendors offering liquids, empty bottles and syringes for sale. At the other end of the spectrum is the DIY'ers who are always looking for new and cheaper ways to keep their PV's a-vaping, hot-rod them up, or build their own from scratch.

I've been using the analog filter material for 4 days now along side a stock cart. I have done the straw modification on both carts and have been alternating from one to the other as a test. So far the analog filter is the better performer. I know this isn't a very scientific test but so far the analog filter is holding up well but so is the stock filler material. From session to session the analog filler material seems to allow me to vape more liquid than the stock filler material. I can usually drip about 25% more liquid back into the analog cart than I can into the stock filler cart. The straw mod is definately helping both cartridges perform longer.

The source for the analog cart filler is some 100mm cig tubes I had used when I was doing RYO cigs. I found that the standard length tuber didn't have enough length to fit the 510 carts. I still have to cut some of the material off to make it fit. So far I have no taste interferance from the analog filler. I have used these 2 carts exclusively for the past 4 days. Luckily I haven't had to take a trip at work so I can continue to top off these guys.

One note I will add about the straw mod is that it is easy to overfill the carts. This can result in liquid passing out the mouth piece into your mouth or leaking at the battery connection.
