Accidental discovery

[VapingRulz]

I was refilling an empty cart with a lower-nic hybrid with a few drops of VG mixed in for better vapor, and I forgot to put back the little clear round plug before I capped it and started vaping.

It has fabulous flavor and throat hit, comparable to the higher-nic.

Has anyone else done this? What is the actual purpose of that clear plastic thing? I always assumed that it was what made the atomizer work, but I now know that's not what it's for.

Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure it is there just to keep any loose juice from getting sucked into your mouth when you take a hit....you'll notice one side has a resevoir in it to hold the juise in it....same thing with the white cap

From what I understand. It is there to keep the juice from being swallowed (liquid form) kinda an extra blocker.

From what I can tell, pretty much what everyone else has said, helps to keep juice out. The carts I use at home on my passthrough that I'm gonna be refilling a lot I've actually ripped off both the cap and the inner rubber o ring and I've cut a hole in some of the cart condoms and slip that on the end, basically just tailpiping it.

I think I'm going to try that. I haven't had any problems with it so far re: juice numbing my mouth or anything like that. Maybe the VG made a difference there by making it a bit thicker?

Anyway, I'm still vaping it and it is really outstanding!

I like that expression: "tailpiping it"

getting an easier draw without the rubber insert but not much flavor, vapor production is about the same, VG is most likely the reason why you're experiencing more flavor and vapor.

the rubber insert keeps more juice inside near the heating element for more flavor and vapor I think.

I presumed that it helped to promote wicking by forcing the airflow to come through the center tube. Could be I'm wrong about that; I'll have to experiment and see. I wouldn't mind having a step removed from the refilling process, if it's just to keep liquid in place.
