Or maybe try a short piece of those coffee stirring thingies. Everyone out to the breakroom to get one now.
I think I'm gonna try the hole in the cart. Should help with the air release during filling as well as let the liquid flow down easily while vaping.

I've been doing this with my 901 for a day.

MY

CART

IS

IMMORTALLLLL


straw + fluval = nonstop amazing wicking. I've never been able to get so many drops of liquid into a cart. It just never stops giving me great vapor. Thanks for the tip... I've been using an m401 and dse901 concurrently since I started without being able to figure out which one i like better. Now I know for sure.

If you don't have a small straw, you can make one one with a regular old drinking straw, cut it down to size, and roll it into the right size with some scotch tape.

I'm not sure what this accomplishes that a syringe wouldn't? Can someone clarify?

lorraine - it affects not only filling, but also in flow to your atomizer. You get amazing drags, and your carts are good to the last drop if you use a polyester filling and a straw.

Also you don't have to look like heroin addict. Also you don't run the risk of injecting yourself with nicotine and dying. It's utterly perfect. Try it!


feathersncream - I have a slight suspicion that those might be a little bit too small for our purposes but honestly I have no idea. If it works, they would be perfect! Let us know if u try it

Great thread opus with very clear pictures and illustrations. Would be good if someone built the idea into the carts. If it's as good as you say maybe you should patent the idea if that's possible.

Thanks, I give injections and draw blood at work so I have no issues with using needles. I don't think my nic juice will be strong enough to cause much damage anyway? (cut to 12mg or less) Any reason why putting the straw in and still filling the fibers with a syringe wouldn't work? "I'm sorry, yes I DO need five stirrers for my cup of coffee...."

Sounds like that would defeat the purpose of the straw, Lorraine. The straw allows air to escape as you drop liquid in, thus allowing you to fill your carts (faster?). I would think that using a needle does the same thing by injecting the liquid into the bottom of the cart, which would then force air to rise.

So, from what I understand, your choice would be straw with dropper or risk looking like a drug addict by continuing to use a syringe. Personally, I'm not a very patient person and I find the syringe injection to be waaaay faster in filling my carts.

I thought maybe the air space at the bottom of the filler material or the straw would affect the draw, making it better? If not, I'm not going to bother trying it, like you, a syringe is fine with me. It seemed to me that using a dropper just leaves too much liquid lying on the surface with no way to tell if the filler material is saturated evenly.

Yes -- the benefit of the straw is two-fold.

1. It makes the draw better by allowing air to the bottom of the cart, as the liquid exits.

2. And if you were to compare dropping in with and without the straw, you would see that the liquid is absorbed much more quickly and in far higher quantities -- once you realize how many drops your cart could possibly hold, you know that you are utilizing your cartridge to its maximum every time you fill. In my situation, with my specific choice and density in filler material, I know that every square millimeter of cart space has juice in it (save for the volume taken by the straw).


Sorry to take up such a tone in speaking of syringes. I associate them with all things awful. If you do not have any issues with draw whatsoever, then syringes are perfect for filling your cart fully and evenly.
