    makes me wish we had transparent parts sometimes! now that would be a great ecig.
    Just Be Sure The Straw Is On Any Far Side and Chop A Good 1/8" Off It. U Should Be Good To Go. Check It When U Fill Your Cart Just Take A Peek At It. Of Course If U Have A Funny Taste, Check The Cart. Trim If Needed...

    Ok, I'm sitting here with nothing but a Smoking Everywhere piece of crap, smoking analogs because this thing is useless. I have an order for all kinds of new goodies that should arrive Monday or Tuesday, but so far this thing is all I've ever tried.

    I saw this thread, had a cheap, hollow Qtip within reach, got some scissors, made the cuts. I pulled the stuffing out of the cart, slid the tube in, pushed the stuffing back in. I didn't even try to keep it off the bottom for airspace. I didn't even top off the cart, as the stuffing was already wet, it just hadn't been hitting worth a damn.

    The first hit I took after inserting the straw was the best I've ever had from this thing. Seems to me that just the added airflow gives you a much better hit somehow. So even if it doesn't make that much difference when topping off (it probably does, haven't tried it yet) it seems to greatly improve the performance.

    And the fluval video was outstanding!!

    i'm still working out the trials on these, but i did add some straws to a couple carts last nigiht, and the definitely lasted longer than normal for a 901. if that alone is helpful just to not have to deal with topping up so much while out at the bar

    Just like everyone else here, this is AMAZING!! I so far have used it (coffee stirrer) in my 510 carts and the draw is better and the flavor of liquid I use has MORE flavor! I'm going to MAKE hubby try this with his 901! LOL

    Maybe someday they will make carts with this great feature! I will be the first in line to try it if they do!

    I believe I will have to switch to low nic as I'm now constantly vaping my RY4 juice!!

    Did this with my 510 using the plastic casing around a wire, cleaned it dried it cut it at an angle but the angle side down and filled the cart with liquid, wow the liquid sinks to the bottom so nicely and refills are much easier. I don't feel like my hits taste any different but I do get good vapor right to the end of the cart (the few times I actually let it get that low). Now I just want a tad more vapor from it and a longer battery life and I'll be all set.

    something isn't working quite right with mine still. the liquid is pooling at the top of mine when i'm topping off like it isn't really soaking into the filler. i didn't fill from the bottom though and haven't checked to see how much is in the bottom.

    it does feel like it is giving cleaner hits though.

    and just fyi, maybe someone can jump in on this one, as i believe some metals give off noxious gases when burned....

    but in hobby lobby today, i saw some very tiny metal tubing. like, as small or smaller than coffee stirrers. there were some made of copper, brass, and aluminum (all 3) and were pretty cheap. these were in thin packages about a foot long, and with the toy train accessories.

    i think its copper or brass that gives off something bad, but not sure about aluminum if it melted or heated? not sure if they'd heat up that high though, probly a little safer than melting plastic?

    The straw goes all the way to the bottom where you leave the small air pocket by pulling the stuffing out a bit and snipping it off. The top of the straw should be just slightly below the top of the stuffing. The bottom of the straw should be slant cut with the cut facing inwards. Don't drip fluid down the straw. This defeats the purpose of allowing air to escape UP the straw as you drip on the filler which will draw the juice DOWN into the filler at the same time.

    It works, guys, if you take the time to understand why and look at opus' diagrams.

    Also, tinier isn't better. You have to have an exhaust big enough to allow air to go up at the rate the liquid is being dropped. Otherwise you are once again defeating the purpose.

    For the 510 get the tiny flat TWO hole coffee stirrer and enjoy.
