This method combined with a teabag that has a hole in the middle has worked great for me. Heres a pic of the hole

I like the hole with the standard cart polyfill but with the teabag it's as if I'm sucking air. Tried stuffing more densely and the draw seemed to always be either too easy or too difficult. Teabag without the hole seemed to work better, though I still prefer polyfill with the hole.

Putting a small hole in my cart has been a life saver. My carts are now lasting much longer and I find they are quite dry when I pull them out to refill. Thanks so much for this tip. Now I will try some Fluval and see if it can get even better.

Hey guys! I'm curious, what seems to be the most successful mod here... a hole in the inside bottom of the cart? or the hole on the flat side of the mouthpiece?

I tried the Fluval in the carts I already made holes in and I did not enjoy the experience. In comparison to the regular cart material, Fluval seems more absorbent and the fibers themselves are much thicker, so I tend to use less of it. As a result, when I have a full cart, I get a lot of leakage from the hole and it becomes somewhat of a disgusting mess in my hands and pocket.

I found Fluval without the hole to work best, second to original cart material with the hole.

P.S. This is all with a 901.

Thanks Chaotic, I haven't had a chance to get the Fluval yet. I did find the hole, when placed in the wrong location or a little too high, leaked like crazy.

Dolan.... I found the hole displayed like post #10 worked best for me. Have to be real careful not to place it too far up or you will end up drinking juice. I tried placing on the front of the cart and that didn't work well either. I haven't tried placing one on the inside of the cart, be curious how well that works, I would be afraid of sucking juice.

I didn't read all the posts in this thread so I might be repeating what was already said.

I have found an easier way with EVO/M401 carts. Push the cart up with a paper clip and top off as you would normally. When replacing the filler cart, push it back in with the atomizer and then use the plug for the cart and push in just a little bit further (don't push the filler cart all the way in to rest with the mouth piece end). Pushing in the filler cart with the atty puts an indentation into the poly and pushing it in just a bit further is perfect. Tons of vaper, an easier draw and the cart seems to last longer.

Sorry if this had already been discussed.

I have used a pin with the round plastic head to make a depression in the wool, then using the pin side, hook the side of the wool and pull it back to the edge of the cart.

Guys....thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you....this hole idea...whoever came up with it is the best mod ever for a cartridge. I can finally use my 901s and 510 without topping off every 4 hits. It also makes refilling the carts far easier. This should be definitely a sticky.
