901 carts!

[Mufftrix]

Had my 901 (its the platinum wicked, had to get that in haha) about a week and finding am having to take the fibre/filling whatever you wish call it out to turn it round then put back in cart as it drying up half way down the fibre and would be wasting the other half of the liquid if didn`t do this? anyone do same or is it just me vaping to quick to allow liquid to soak down?

I noticed that happening too but I haven't been turning it around. I'm curious about what people are doing about that too.

buy a bottle of eliquid and use it to refill them, puresmoker.com sells them with drip-tops so none of that syringe junkie-paraphernalia needed, just drip on the cart till it is full, carts can be reused indefinitely as long as you don't let it dry out and burn the filler. Don't waste money and landfill space on carts, a $10 bottle of liquid can refill a cart hundreds of times, or you can just use a mouthpiece with no cart and drip straight on the atomizer.
as for ...., check the suppliers forum for UK liquid.

I understand about refilling thanks! I was just wondering if anyone having same problem with the fibre drying out leaving the other half still soaked? (didn`t seem have this happen with evo) but only way to vape it is to take out fibre and swap it round which is rather messy especially if at work driving haha! Think only answer will be like you say carry bottle of fluid, or carry lots of carts!

when i don't vape at work,i leave it in a position led down-cart up,
this way the remaining fluid goes to the end of the cart where it shoud be,and it gives a few puffes more. it doesn't get completle dry though.

I wouldn't worry about it, sounds about right for a 901. Sometimes they drain more, quite unpredictable really. Just carry a small bottle of liquid to top up with. The EVO / M401 are particularly good at draining carts.

My 901 works pretty well but I do have to refill it often throw out the day, because I puff on it all the time. I carry a 2ml bottle of e-liquid with me. I got it at johnson creek, I know they are expensive but they are the only local supplier that offered a sample pack, I got 10-2 ml bottles (eye dropper type) of different flavors that fit in my pocket nicely. when the vaper is getting kind of week I just add 3-4 drops.

I have had no luck with classic/penstyle cartridges and I have a theory that it's because they don't wick quickly enough onto the atomiser. My 901 was better but there is always going to be some liquid left in the cartridge.

It's interesting that the Evo/M401's wick better Pete. Do you think it's to do with the composition of the cartridge filler, is it different? What would happen if you used Evo filler in a 901? Maybe it's more to do with cartridge size, atomiser design or something else.

Type of eliquid would also be a factor for wicking. More viscous liquid would be more likely to stay in the filler?

I think it's a combination of factors Kate. The cart itself is small, the atomiser bridge is huge in comparison to a 901, very wide. The filler is I think the same, I've used 901 filler in a EVO and it performs the same, as does aquarium wool. I think although the EVO has a smaller cart, you actually get slightly more out of them than a 901 because of the more efficient draining. I've not yet tried the newer, bigger EVO carts. All the above applies equally to my LiteCig M401.
