Simple and effective way to boost cart performace.
Just discovered a brilliant and simple cartridge mod for my new pen-style.
I got thinking that the cart was poorly deluvering the liquid to the wick even when nearly full and decided to find out why.
My conclusion was that the absorbant wool was only making contact with the tip of the wick which in a pen-style atomizer protrudes quite far and pushes the wool down into the cart, once the cart is used past this point of contact a bit then delivery is very slow.
So... I pulled out the wool part way out of the cart and then cut out a groove in the center to fit the wick, then pushed it back in flush level with the edge so it was no longer pushed down. Now the wick is surrounded by the wool all over and so there is maximum contact with the wool and liquid.
The result? Bloody amazing. It works nearly as well as dripping without the hassle. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

That's interesting. When you have been vaping for a while do you get any problems with melting cart fibre/burnt fibre taste?

i take a straightened paperclip and swirl a hole in the middle of the wool..getting a bit wider everytime till its about the size of the wick of the atomizer
look inside the atomizer so you can determine the size
