So, by reading a bunch of threads being the lurker I am, I decided to start dripping into my blue. I then tried out the dipping method. Neither one really seemed to work too good for me.
Instead this is what I did -
I simply cut the aluminum foil off a brand new OEM loaded cart. Not only though did I cut off all the foil but I ALSO CUT OFF ALL THE CLEAR PLASTIC that is under the foil. I then re-inserted the cart into the mouthpiece. I then gave it a couple quick primer puffs and gave a nice slow draw. I noticed I got about the average vapor for a brand new cart (which most would say is a fairly decent amount of vapor I would assume). The only difference is I am getting the same amount of vapor as a new cart for AT LEAST 10-12 solid draws. When it dies off, it seems that there is not very much liquid left in the cart - although it could be said that it is still moist. 4-5 drops of liquid (when I refill I am using 6-7 drops when completely dry) tops it right back off and "brand new cart" performance is again obtained.
I plan on buying at least 4 more atomizers so there is an atomizer on eace cart. I am thinking the atomizer will help the juice from possibly "spilling" out of the cart if sat horizontally for a period of time (like in the PCC). Granted, the filling is supposed to help but extra atomizers is obviously a good thing and longer periods in between uses wouldnt hurt either I dont think.
On a side note, I had 1 atomizer that was working overall good and the other was working just as good and then suddenly dropped off and even a new cart wouldnt help. I looked closely and noticed a piece of the clear plastic was stuck inside the bridge and was apparently limiting juice flow. Once cleaned out performance was regained.
Any ideas/opinions on this are appreciated (other than the standard "you should have bought something else" response).
