A brief history of vaping... (found some of my old kits)

These are pictures from early 2010 showing my version of the spring mod on a 510 cartridge...

OK, I've seen all kinds of stuff on here, but that's the first time I've seen the spring mod, and I remember teabags and blue foam...

*toddles off to figure this one out*

Then there's this "coming soon" actually described as a "vaping weapon".
Maybe not marketing brilliance, but it looks kinda cool. Might have to be my first mod.
It does really have a "light saber" look to it.

I really want a mech mod, but this thing looks really cool, and from my experience and the reviews here on ecf, Innokin puts out some quality stuff. This is officially on my radar.

The spring mod was a way to turn a 510 cartridge into a tank, instead of having the cartridge filled will filler material.
You would put a small piece of filler or blue foam on top of the springs, to hold the liquid back but still touch the bridge so it would wick.

The first spring mod was a spring put in the cartridge vertically, but in the picture I used to very tiny springs horizontally.
They are sitting on the ridges that the 510 cartridges have, which keeps them from getting pushed down.

It was a royal pain in the ....

It's a fond memory now, but not so much at the time.

Well, those are my Chucks, which saw nearly exclusive action until I bought my first Ego Twist.
If I am not mistaken, the Chuck was the impetus for the now widely accepted idea of aesthetic customization.
