510 10 ML Simple Juice Feed Mod. No More Filling Carts!

[DoOrDie]

Well, after getting tired of filling carts, and watching you guys have all the fun with your juiceboxes necessity became the mother of invention for me. I wanted a juicefeeder for my 510 without spending any more money, so hanging out around here provided all the clues I needed. And what I ended up with has transformed my vaping world into one of pure joy and flavor like I have yet to experience. You'll see why in a minute, but this has most definitely changed the way I vape after realizing some things and using this mod.

I have taken a lot of what I seen on the forums, and incorporated the ideas that have worked the best for me into a simple, easy to do mod for anyone with a drill, a 510 cart and atty, the typical 10 ML bottle or smaller, and a piece of audio wire. Audio wire? Yeah. See that black "tube"? Its simply your everyday piece of audio wire with the inner wires removed, leaving just the insulation. Insta tube.

A 3.5" section of any kind of audio wire that you can see will fit down into the top of a 10 ML, 6 ML, or 3 ML bottle cap is all you need. The wire just has to have an outer wrapping of insulation, because that's all you need is a hollow tube small enough in diameter to make it work. Cut the section about 4" to start with, and then strip the wire 1/4" at each end. Then just pull out all the insides, leaving the hollow tube. For the typical musician or studio guy this is easy with pretty much any audio cable small enough fitting the bill. But for anyone else, think...You have a small piece of wire you can use somewhere in your place right now that will work.

So, without further ado, here is my passthrough version, simply mounted to my 5v USB PT:

And here it is in vaping position:

But before I get into how to use this puppy, and how I am taking it mobile, here's how to deal with the bottle. For me, I've gotten all my stuff from MadVapes so far, and it appears they recently changed 10 ML bottles or something because I ended up with some longer thinner bottles with childproof caps, and shorter fatter bottles regular screw on caps:

nice ! its not a showpiece but i bet it works great !

The solution for me was to use the first bottle, the cap from the second bottle, and lose the nipple, which pops right out:

A 5/32" drill bit did the job just right, creating a hole just slightly smaller than the tube by a hair, so that the tube sits tightly- but yet is still movable, and yet still leak proof. I just drilled straight through the top, and got rid of any excess shavings.

Drilling the cart was trickier, and if you are going to try this, take careful note of exactly where that hole is, just above the atty line when it is on the atty. Any higher and you might get into the upper cart, and you don't want to do that for several reasons.

After trying a few different things, here's what I found is working for me great on the carts for the maximum overflow protection, good juice flow to the atty, and minimal chance of flooding (as long as you read this thread through):

That is to create a chamber for the fluid with a buffer of polyfill both above and below the tube entry point. I have done a crude drawing to show how I dealt with this, and hope it helps:

I simply pull out the polyfill from a cart, cut it about a third of the way down, and use the small third for the upper fill, and the large third for the bottom fill that going to hit the atty. Insert top fill, then insert tube, and then insert bottom fill. Note that the tube itself naturally acts as a retainer for the upper fill- cool.

This is by far working the best for me. What I have discovered is that guys that are dripping do so because the flavor is at peak when keeping that atty wet and supplied through the hit. I think this actually works better than dripping. The problem never was the polyfill. The problem was keeping the flow rate on the atty, and without a constant feeder, you just hit what is CURRENTLY on the atty, and then it proceeds to degrade from there, as you starting burning polyfill instead. When you learn how to work this, or any other juicebox with a sqeezable bottle for that matter, you can actually squeeze the juice on to the atty as you hit it, and keep it flowing perfect, once you get use to it!

The process is simple.

1) hit button
2) VERY slightly squeeze tube with thumb as you hit and keep the slight pressure on it through the hit.

It has the effect of creating a constant flow of juice on the atty, and even controlling its temperature as it now burns juice at a steady rate. The flavor coming off of this is quite frankly, just SICK!!! And leaves previous vaping with a straight 510 in the dust.

But there's more- that idea someone had around here of dewicking the atty most definitely improved things for me, so that is incorporated as well. It's a dewicked atty. The lower fill is providing all the wick that atty needs, when you are going to supply it with a constant rate of fluid!

And oh, yeah this is crude, no doubt about it. But man, it works so good I can't put this thing down.

And the clip to hold the bottle? A clip from a microphone stand. Works great.

For my mobile solution, lose the clip, and well...

A pill bottle!

Fits perfect:

And puts the button on a 510 Mega battery just right at the edge of the bottle. Very crude, yes, but man? It fricken works! Keeps the bottle from accidentally being squeezed, and to use, just slide it out slightly, get your thumb on the bottle, finger on the button, and same process. Slide back in to store.

I just use a 3ml bottle drilled right in the cart.

you be smoking nitrous man....

Getting the hang of this thing takes some doing, as too much squeeze and you're gonna be swimming in juice. But do it just right, and the flavor is killer. The atty is also running much cooler by keeping a steady flow of juice on it, and I'll bet that will extend its life somewhat. On the next one I will probably use some smaller diameter tubing to limit the flow rate more.

Thanks for the comments, and for my first mod I am loving it. Right now I care much more about functionality than looks. Once I establish what exactly the best flow rate is for this thing is and nail that down, then I'm gonna get serious.

One electric micro pump fed, adjustable flow rate, adjustable voltage Mod coming up, with all the trimmings and looks. One button will activate pump at the flow rate of your choice. We gonna nail this folks, one mod at a time.

And oh yes, don't forget the velcro! Very useful. Here she is attached right on my chair by the puter:

An another showing the velcro on one of my Mega 510's. That little idea works great to pretty much recess the button and give sticking power in one easy step of attaching a couple of strips of velcro:

Nice job man. Sounds like the idea i had http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/97522-chuck-bottom-fed-juicer-mod-idea.html . Glad to see the theory works. Cant wait for future improvements with this. Keep posting.
