Cart Mod for better refilling

[dionymnia]

I did this straw method and it broke the bridge of my atty and I thought that it was just the atty but it started breaking the bridge of the 2nd one I tried, am I doing something wrong? I just gave up and took the straw out

Are you placing the straw fully to one side of the cart? On my cartridges, two sides are slightly bulged out, which allows for the straw to nestle in the bulge that is fully out of the way of the bridge. Also, of course, it might go without saying that you need to be using a slender straw, like a coffee stirrer/straw or the hollow part of a plastic q-tip.

I couldn't get this to work for nothing on a 901.
although I did notice the cartridges I ordered from totally wicked are very different from the ones I ordered from the digital smoke shop before they closed up shop.
The carts from TW are 3 part. 1 is the little air flow piece at the mouth end that pops out. then you have the black plastic actual "mouth piece" and then I see a red rotating thing that holds the poly fill.
I tried the straw but ended up folding my polyfill in half to get it back down in there.
I may not order my blanks from tw again..... I can take pics if anyone is curious as to what I am talking about.

Wow. What a difference this makes!

I've only been vaping a few days now, with a Joye 510, and my 2 biggest problems were with getting more than about 2 drops into the cartrige, and with getting very inconsistant hits (great one time, dry with little vapor the next, then suddenly okay again)

I used the end of a bic pen tube (the inner tube that holds the ink, but cut off the end where it never had any ink in it), only have it long enough to come about 3/4 of the way up the cartrige, this allows plenty of room for the attomizer to not be near the plastic, and even have a little of the poly fill stuff covering the tip of the tube. Even with the opening covered, it's a thin enough layer of juice for the air to easily push through. I have no problem getting 10-12 drops in, and smooth even results until it needs topping off again.

THANK YOU!

I was using the Q tip as a straw maybe i should shorten it?

You're doing something wrong. Not sure what though. Perhaps your straw is too long. It should sit about a mm or 2 below the edge of the cart.

I cut it to about 3/4 of the way up and have a bit of the filler covering it up a bit I hope this works =/ I dont want to break 2 attys in 24 hrs

I can't see how you're breaking attys. What model are you using? The straw needs to stand even with or above the polyfill for this to be effective, otherwise it's pointless. I've had the straw get stuck in the atty when I pulled out a cart, so it was definitely touching the bridge (not a problem, the bridge isn't the part that gets hot) and there was no damage at all. I can't imagine what you're doing, unless it's not the straw breaking your attys.

I have a 510, the atty still hisses when I turn it on but the bridge is broken in half so im not sure if I can still use this ( im sorry im relatively new to this 3 weeks) I will admit I did a coke wash about 2 days ago, maybe it ate the bridge?
