510 Cart Straw Mod

[Lurch003]

Hey

I've read up about the straw mod and the amazing results everyone gets from it. I tried it and didn't notice an awful lot of difference so figure its me thats doing something wrong.

I get a cotton bud - cut it so its about 1mm below the top of the cart, cut the corner at the bottom at 45degrees and place in cart next to the filler.

I make sure I don't fill liquid above the "straw" and vape away but don't get much more time before I need to top up and don't seem to be able to get any more drops in than normal.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ?!!

If everyone is doing these mods - why don't they just make the carts with some kind of built in straw mod

You need the spring mod mate,

Its better than anything!

Your not doing anything wrong nothing works that well and if it does wicking material goes dry and sticks to atomizer so best to just top up regular or drip

Sounds about right Bill!! Nowt seems to work for me either! I just keep topping off!!

Cool, thought I'd ask. Had a search for the "spring mod" and can't find anything - is nothing going well for me today ?!!

And if everyone and their gran are doing mods, surely the manufacturer must take note and make improvements ?!!

Just a thought...

They may change - but they tend to speak and read Chinese in China!

PS - I love the Chinese as they have stopped me from smoking!

Lurch, did you take a small amount of the filler away when you did the mod? I mean just a small part, maybe a tenth or so...I found it made a small difference -Compacting the filling lessens airflow and reduces it's capacity to hold more juice

I still have to top off mind, but I believe it is still better performance than the stock cart.

Oh, spring mod (I need to try this myself) also check out Kristin's version of this which uses a straw (but not like we would use it in a straw mod).

I call it ADP Mod.. Auto Drip Mod!

Hi Rusty
Have to pop in and have a pint

Trying the spring mod as we speak let you know how i get on

Well works ok but same problem wick dries out and sticks to atomizer think only answer is to keep topping off to keep stuffing moist

I didn't take any filler away - I wrongly thought taking away would reduce capacity !!! I seem to get a good vape when I start (remove filler, add 10 drops, put in filler, add another 3) but when I top up, only takes 3 and full.

Don't mind so much if I'm home vaping, but if I'm out its not convenient to keep topping up every 20 minutes.

Will try the mod and take some filler away. My only concern is if I'm out and a little drunk, it'll be too much hassle to keep topping up and I'll end up just buying a pack of analogs

That's a valid concern actually, I've been thinking that with crimbo and new year coming up, it could be a bit of a hassle if I end up going out and drinking...I don't fancy dicking around with my carts and whatever when I've had a few scoops.

I'm considering getting one of those cartomizer kits for nights out, I'd rather pay out for one of them than end up smoking again.
