Adjustment to Kristins PTB made easy mod

[k3vin]

OK..I cannot in any way shape or form take credit for what kristin has done..But I can hope to tweak it a bit..First off ty to ALL who are working torwards cart mods.I cant tell you about all the things I have been buying to try to use..I have had the BEST results with using of course,Kristins face buff mod,except I used SCOTTYBALLS spring mod with it.This shouldnt suprise you as she and he is in actuality a mad-scientist for the cause.

I like the PTB method,except it always drowned my atty and leaked..I tried it many times,and still an issue.(FOR ME).YMMV..

I have what I think may be something which will work for some of us,although not for all of us,but if I didnt think it was worth a try,I wouldnt be posting...AND it also has the properties of being really inexpensive...

I did everything Kristin did in this thread.. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/52430-ptb-straw-mod-ptb-made-easy.html

EXCEPT,I cut a piece off of a 5 gallon 100% nylon paint strainer..which looks like this..



And is very inexpensive..it is 19in. tall and about 12in. wide..

I used a piece about 2.5x2in.and stuffed it in just as Kristin did in the above thread..I hit it quite a bit,then added about 6-8 drops or so,and it took it,and later, when I lifted the mesh out of the cart,after hitting it for awhile again,I could see it was wicking DOWN torwards the atty side and the top side,was relatively empty.And the great thing for me was it was NOT LEAKING..

THis is on a lR 510 atty,and at one point it was pretty full and I let it sit for about 30 min or so while I ate dinner...NO funky tastes,or anything OFF on flavor...

A bag of 2 only cost me like $3...

The holes are at least twice the size of the PTB's..but no leakage so far...If you do try it and it doesnt seem to want to take juice,I just used a paperclip and made a slight dent in the side and it went in really well,but it did seem to go in ok without it.It seems to release the air pretty well when putting drops back in...

OK after a day of using this mod..I have come to a few conclusions..This works GREAT where the PTB's are used..The bigger holes and what seems to be a VERY fine thread of nylon running through the holes just works well...Also,I have did a slightly different take on kristins mod and am using rhoneils mod of folding it over about 4-5 times,inserting it tight end down(mouth end),then cutting 3 slices about 1/4in. up along the llll end which will be at the atomizer..basically wrapping itself around the atty..I have to say,this material works great in place of any PTB material and is VERY inexpensive...

Atfer playing around with the strainers,I find a piece as big as the one stated above is wayyy too large for my 510 cart...Probably half that...This stuff really is amazing.and remember the 19x12 is ONE side of the strainer..so x 2 that size is what you get...And no wasted tea..I use a LR atty and it is going and going and going..

This sounds like it may be worth a shot. So you use a straw, and the paint strainer?

Godzilla,I have sort of left Kristins straw mod,but yes,I initially did also use the straw,,BUT I am thinking,that with the holes being bigger,And I didnt try it,one may NOT even need the straw..although I did use the straw..I have been using rhoneils mod of folding over itself ( I think it is his) and then slicing 2-3 slices up the "loose end" and slipping that in...Let me see if I can find the video of the way I am using it..But yes,I did use kristins mod at first,but when I tried it with the other PTB mod,it really worked great also..I was trying to get away from un-used space"respectively" and wanted something without the straw..Trying to get it down to as little tweaking as possible..GOod luck..I think you will be pleasantly suprised...

OK,Here is the video mod I used..it looks like it is GRIMM GREEN..Man,I just want to give credit where credit is due..I am only changing up the material...
