Day 2 of this disposable facial sponge (DFS) cart, and it is still the best vape I've had. For me, and probably my lack of time for extension modications and experiments, in comparison, the PTB was a waste of $5. With PTB, dood vape some of the time, but flooded the atty a lot, causing leaks too, and would often dump a bunch of juice into my mouth.
The DFS is simply superior vaping in every aspect. I'm getting better throat hits with 16 mg juice than my 36 mg straight with previous cart fillers, and its clear I'm getting more immediate nic too. Whew!!
No flooding at all, even if I fill to an extent that would have certainly flooded and leaked with original poly filler. Hardly any gurgles...attys that before were prone to flooding/gurgling now operate amazingly well. Wicks like a champ still. All this means fantastic vaping, and money saved in the long run. Thought I was going to have to just vape 36 mg straight to get enough nic...not anymore!!
No plastic taste either, just juice. And better flavor from the juice than before too.
Another thing I like about this filler, besides working so well and being dirt cheap and VERY easy to make a cart, is that since it is essentially a sponge, it is easily washable in vodka and reusable, with little change in overall shape or amount of filler after the wash. I detect virtually zero fraying, even after last night's sadistic abuse. I honestly cannot vape as hard and hot as would be required to cause damage to the filler...something I could easily do with the original poly filler. So reusing it would be problematic...it essentially would just fall apart. I haven't gone through a cart with DFS long enough to see how it will be after washing, but I predict it will simply come back the same as when I originally cut it.
Also, since it is a sponge, it is far more compressible than the PTB when wet. This means that after I have several carts that need filler-changing, I remove the fillers, put them into a syringe barrel, and then easily press out the juice with the plunger...and this juice (I call it 2nds) can be most excellent vaping. Then empty the barrel into vodka, soak overnight, and remove and let dry to reuse. Awesome!
Thus I may be looking at several years of top-shelf filler! Honestly, if sellers used this filler, I think we would not be discussing cart mods nearly as much. Its turned my 510 into something I just didn't think I would ever have in a 510, as great as it was before.
With the DFS, I think I'm done with cart mods for a while. Not sure the body can handle a better mod just yet!
I'll let everyone know how it fares after a few more days.
