Flitz, your gal is so much better looking than you. How'd you pull that off?

my huge ecig.

haha, what else...CHARISMA!!!!

i probably do own more makeup than her though....

(ps, think the straw thing is working better for me now)
(pps thanks for the compliment)

this worked great! i got 10 solid drops into my 901 atty. I'm wondering though how some people were able to get a consistent vapor all the way to an almost empty cartridge. I do get about double the vapor that I used to but then I have to top up. The end of my straw is below the top edge of the cart, yet just above the end of the filler. Any ideas?

Just tried this with a 510 cart and a quetip stem. Works fine. Topped off with 14 drops, instead of the usual 5-6. This helped even more:

"I think it depends more on where you locate the straw in relation to how you hold the cig." Put it on top. Thanks Shaik, and Kreel for the tips, And thanks OP for the idea!

Update: I thought perhaps it was just that I had the filler out to do the job, squeezed it to insert, etc., that it took all the drops but that is not the case. Just refilled 16 drops this time. Working nicely!

Ok.... i tried this mod with a syringe needle.... it was a 20 gauge...
i cut it to length with wire cutters and cut again at a small angle. then i opened the flattened cut by squeezing it with said pliers softly. and then
them i rolled back the needle tip on its self to make it not sharp i put it in the cart and blew at it kinda hard
. . .. outcome.....
i had a full cart already... ugh.. had to clear it (36mg) ugh...
i noticed that it hit many more (too many times).times before i had to refill. and the vapor stayed thick throughout.
upon refilling.. i noticed it was dry all around the entire poly. but the center was still slightly saturated...

i want to try it with a way larger gauge needle next....
or maybe in the center or something

There's a recommendation to avoid the center but if you go it make sure it clears the atomizer bridge, of course.....

[brownbrown4]

Even with a metal relief valve?

[JohnnySmith]

Very good idea. I assume you take the straw back out afterward so the atomizer does not melt it. I might of missed that part

The straw stays in. It's cut short enough as to not contact the atomizer and placed on the side of the cartridge, not in the middle where the bridge is.

Silly question here. Why is everyone concerned with the bridge (the part covererd in steel wool that arches above the actual heating element) which is down below in the center of the ceramic disc? It is my understanding that this apparatus is merely used to wick the fluid and protect the heater. Thats at least what it looked like when I had a fluky battery stay on and I watched the heating coil glow way down below.
