No more starving the atomizer!

I am still unclear on the two straws and how you are sealing the top of the reservoir straw?? Can someone pleeez post a couple of pictures????

I just crazy glue my 801 to my lips

This is the first design of mine which has never flooded. Removing the wick and bridge can be a little difficult. I used a soldering pick tool which is sharp on one side (like a chisel) to just cut it off at the base.

Airflow is not blocked whatsoever, I have yet to even get a gurgle from the atty while utilizing this method.

As far as them trying this before.... I doubt they have. I engineered a microwave accelerated peptide synthesizer and spent alot of time with overseas engineers. The amount spent on R&D for an electronic cigarette is negligable I am sure. Basically, if it works half ass, get it out the door, we can fix it later. Another extreme is getting it out the door partly functional and make coin of consumable parts.

Quite true, their main goal was not to design the best product, rather a product they could make cheap & make a fortune off of... After all it is just a simple element that heats liquid... not exactly a break through in engineering. They put a micro glow plug in a stick & called it a cigarette. =)

couldnt you just buy a blank cart, pull out the poly, chop it in lets say half. fill the cart with juice and replace the 50% of the poly, thus having a saturated poly with a reservoir creating a negative force so that once you draw the spent juice is then replaced by the negative pressure. similar to an old fashioned lantern wick?

Exactly what we are doing, creating a wick which consumes fuel. In this case, the wick is not consumed. I have put off my experimentation for a little while, just using a blue foam plug in a standard cart for now. Works great, no leaks, etc. I just got too busy looking for work and should put that as number one priority. I ran out of juice and only have menthol. I hate menthol, so reverted back to analogs 25% of the time.

Using the blue foam plug increase fluid consumption, but you utilize all of it, none wasted and no leaking. Right now, a battery (stock manual 510) and a cart last the same period of time. Until I get a battery mode, I just load up a few 510's and burn through them. Once I have a battery mod, HV 5v preferred, I will work again on a cart which is worthy of the battery mod itself.

As far as plugging the straw on the one end... I put a piece of saran wrap over the end and stuck a piece of blue foam in it. The saran wrap seals it and the foam keeps tension to keep it sealed.

Bah. No pics, never happened.

Lol, I'll get there. By no means are the pictures pretty! Two straws stuck in a pen and inserted into an atomizer with no bridge!

As of right now, with the blue foam plug, a battery and cart last the same amount of time. It is concienient, I just load up a few and go through them. Having a cart that lasts longer than a battery is self defeating, I just want to pick it up and vape. Need to get a battery mod I guess!

Not to mention all I have is menthol juice, went back to 50/50 analogs until I get some coin for juice.

I would like to try this, but I absolutely cannot visualize how having juice in a sealed drinking straw ever gets any juice to the coil, much less an "ideal" amount. I also realize that you are not as interested in continuing when you hate the taste of the only juice you have.

Can any of the rest of you who think you understand this please post a picture or two? I know this is somewhat unusual here; but otherwise, I think this idea is one that is going to die for lack of clarity. Thanks.

If you look back at the first comment in the thread, there is a polyfill plug at the end of the straw.
