Hey all, i have been messing around with a few mod variations and I thought i'd share this one with you all (Will post pics later, at work currently)
1) get some pyramid tea bags, cut the top seam and empty the tea out (duh)
2) cut the bag in half from top to bottom.
3) now you have two pieces, both with an L shaped seam. roll the bag long ways so you end up with a long roll. roll it fairly tight so it's no more than half a cm in width when you're done
4) This is where it gets different... you're going to roll it again in the other direction so you end up with a cinnabon shaped thing. Do this roll as tight as you can. You should end up with a very tight circle of ptb that is only about a half cm in height when you lay it on its side.
5) i then drop the plug into the clear plastic top of a cart so that it expands (not by much it should be pretty tight) and fills the cart top.
6) then i fill the whole cart with liquid, up to a little above where the cart begins to narrow. and put 2 or three drops on the plug still in the plastic cap
7)force the plastic top back onto the cart, which should force your plug into the round part of the cart, blocking the liquid inside.
8) remove the plastic top, rearrange your plug to your preference (i make it go about a quarter cm below the top of the cart) and vape away.
This mod allows you to fill up the whole cart with liquid (almost a whole mL) and the plug on the top just keeps it from leaking out. It adsorbs the liquid and wicks the atty like normal, just without taking up a ton of space in the cart.
I've had zero problems with this mod leaking (I actually did a test where i suspended one cart upside down and one sideways all night) and it wicks like a champ. Two of these babies can last me all day without any topping off or worry.
Like I said i'll post pics soon and I hope you all enjoy

Reason: adding pics
i have done it two ways, if the plug looks out of place after vaping, i just take it out, wash it out and reroll it. It's easier to reroll it than it was the first time, the ptb kinda holds its shape.
or, if the plug still looks fine i just take my smallest gauge needle and inject liquid with a syringe. don't stick it through the center, closer to the side the better. put about a mL in
This seems very interesting. This is almost like having your dropper with you and it regulates the drip as you vape. My biggest worry when it moves around it may leak. So far how is it working out. I really need to try this.
I am trying this now. So far so good. I want to see how long it lasts and if I waste less liquid. I seems that it has promise. I am on a constant search for a better cart. I hate the polyfill. The PTB leaks and gets in my mouth. I was using a combo of the PTB and a bit of regular tea bag but work like regular tea bag after a short time.
I haven't been able to find a grocery store that stocks the PTB. I am still using the stock polyfil material. It works well if you use the straw mod and pay close attention to how much material you use in the cart. If I am able to vape slowly, and by that I mean take breaks between vape draws, you can get most of the liquid out of the cart. But if you are like me and love the hit of a full cart then you will have to top off more often.
The more liquid you draw from the cart, the less that is available to draw accross the atomizer. So vapor production will drop when there is less liquid available. You don't really waste liquid until you have to clean the cart. Normally about 6 drops will be left in the cart.
