Cart Mod for better refilling

**wanderlust** · 05-02-2009, 01:17 PM

I didn't have any shrink tubing but used the straw from an exhausted can of aersol duster (pretty tiny). Inserted it in the 801 (penstyle) down to the small bottom resevoir and it works great as a vent. Better vapor production and seems to be emptying the cart better. Thanks for the tip!

the Excess liquid is gravity feed back into the sponge material when you smoke. I experimented this by smoking until I taste a burn taste and pull the filler material out of the cart. It was empty.

From now on, the little coffee stirrer goes in every cart. What an awesome find!

Thanks again, oM.

wow opus good idea. I used shrink tubing also and it works great. It doesn't get too hot because the tubing isn't shrinking.

Opus this is AWESOME! I'm relatively new to the ecig and this was the answer to my 'throat hit'. Thanks a million, never will I be without my cocktail straw! LOL dawnlori

OMG... seriously... what a great, cheap mod (and we all know that we need as much cheap as possible... juice run anyone??). I forgot all about this, and the link was posted in another thread today.

BTW, if you have the cheap Q-Tips around they may be constructed of a perfect size hollow plastic straw. That is what I used today (I got this kind from a dollar store to use for craft projects, now they're all snipped up and sitting in my kit!!).

Is this better than punching an air flow hole in a cart? Haven't been brave enough to do that to my penstyle carts yet.

Yeah, I was in the store the other day trying to check out which q-tips have the hollow plastic and which ones had paper...It's hard to tell through the packaging!
