"Packing" the e-cig? I swear this works.....

[gooney0]

I had the same thought about "packing."

In a way the E-cig works a bit like a Zippo lighter. When desperate I could squeeze out one more light by turning it upside down and shaking it or hitting the bottom.

Sometimes it helps if you scream "WORK!" at the top of your lungs.

LOL! I can think of other things I would like to scream, given the FDA war at present, but I digress...

One thing I am finding out about the 510 is that if the atty gets flooded it can tend to leak juice through the vent holes, making fingers sticky and vest pockets spotted! I'm learning to have a paper towel in the back pocket for such events, which seem to be more often than I would like.

Hope the 510 is working its magic on your analog cravings. I would n't worry about having the nic levels up in the beginning...you are metaprogramming the brain away from many different physical and chemical habits. Keep us posted! Another ex-BT slave is another victory in this battle.

I pull the cart out of the atomizer of my dse801 and tap the cart one or two times on hard surface cars cup holder, dash, desk etc. I lose a little on dash etc if i tap too many times just wipe it off with paper towel. Then reinsert so I don't break another battery switch(auto).

I have 2 different types of E-Cigs at the moment and with any luck that's all I will ever need, each has it's own operational quirks.

The Dragon that I have is great for dipping rather than dripping, with dripping you are letting the liquid run down into the battery destroying the battery over time. What i do is put about 10-15 drops of liquid into a contact lens carry case, one of those plastic jobs that you can get for $3 just about any CVS or something. It's much easier and cleaner than dripping and it is even possible to dip while driving, something I don't recommend but if you must I would rather people dip than drip while driving.

The 510 design makes dipping impossible but you can drip with that and be done with carts. I still haven't made up my mind about dripping with the 510 maybe I drip too much on it because it seems to me I am just making it gurgle rather than smoke better. The carts hold a lot more juice and are so much easier to fill than the m401 style like the Dragon that I just buy some Fluval from a pet store and that stuff is perfect for the 510 carts. You can cut it just the right size to slide right in the hole perfectly.

So in short, m401 and other types that present the atomizer on the outside you can easily dip rather than drip, and for the 510 and other hidden style atomizers dripping and filling with Fluval as replacement filler works great. I would almost say that the Fluval is actually a better filler than the polyfil that is used to start with. Fluval is also a great replacement filler for m401 style E-cigs as well. It is cheap and easily available.

Am also a 401 user and have noticed that the liquid do tend to go way down to the battery. Which sucks badly cause i love my 401. But i hate the filler omg am so upset with it once i took it out and burned it with a match believe i said "DIEEEEEEE" but i had no choice but to start dripping or dipping..Just would try to be a little more carefull now cause of my my extra batterys is acting up already. Hope i can find Lipton PTB soon..

After vaping on a cart for a while and then getting that funky taste of a dying cartdrige I peeked inside and noticed the filler was pushed way back into the cart. I "packed" it against my hand to bring it out a little more, thus bringing more wetness to the atty...and it tasted better with more vape.. Ive been packing the whole thing from time to time (LED side down on my palm) and I swear this seems to draw some liquid towards the atty and push the filler closer making better vape.

Does anyone else do this or am I just smoking something??

Get it?? SMOKING SOMETHING??

Get it? Not often enough but thats another story LOL I was wondering if you were using manual batts or auto?

You may want to be careful with the packing move - the electronics in the battery are not shock resistant - over time you may damage it -

Especially when they drop right out of your lips on to the floor cause your cart doesnt fit tight anymore. I dont get it? Why are my carts "shrinking" after just a few days? When I got these new (new to me) 2pc 901 carts from TW they were a tight fit and now they hardly stay on. Anyone? I have a bad habit of holding my ecig between my lips and/or teeth when Im vaping if I need my hands for something really quick. Now my carts are so loose that my eciggie will slide right off and smack on the floor. Bad...very bad. Bye bye battery

You probably have a high bridge atomizer. Look at the low bridge atomizer for better wicking.
joye302 wicks great, so does the bestecigs be112

I got some of those high bridge 801 attys and I hated it. They totally squish the filler material down waaaay to much for my taste. It seems that if I filled my cart like i normally did, then push it on the atty, all i got for the first 3 or 4 vapes was juice in my mouth....alot. I was going to order some low bridge ones instead. Never had that problem with those and I filled my carts just as full. Anyone ever have that problem with excess juice with those high bridge attys?

Hmmm could either be that when you vape your overheating the device that cause the plastic to sort of expand a bit?

Sounds like you need to learn about the "straw mod". Use the search feature of the forum and search for it. It will knock your socks off.

Could someone post a link to a good thread describing the Straw Mod. I used the search feature, but "straw mod" appears in about 5 million threads, and I really gave up about two pages in on the search results.

Thanks for any help on this!
