So after a month of vaping w/ stock Poly-Fill, I finally bit and bought some of the Marineland Rite-Size U.

I wanted to start simple, and see if all the extra mods that I've been reading about are really necessary. I'm a KISS method kinda guy, and I want the least amount of hassle.

So, based on one modders utube vid, that has the same less is sometimes more outlook to vaping, I just cut out a wad, stuffed it in, filled and vaped.

First impressions:

ejuice is more optimally used, and the wicking is much better than polyfill.
Flavor is diminished somewhat.
Required pull strength increased (That might have been due to the width that I cut).
Filling wasn't as easy as expected, 4 drops and I was already pooling at the top of the cart, hmmmmmm. (This could have been a combination of using a piece too wide, and the juice I used was a combo PG/VG that has a thicker viscosity.

So, on my second cart, I cut a thinner piece, and decided to taper off the foam at the bottom making an inverted "V".

Was able to get a lot more juice into the cart, and the pull required was much more similar to poly-fill carts. Flavor seemed to pick up some also.

I really don't want to mess with straws, springs, clips, plugs, etc. etc. I just want to cut a piece, stuff it, fill it, and vape.

My 510 did fine w/ poly-fill, just didn't like all the juice waste, but the flavor IMO was better.

Going to keep fiddling some, but if the Law of diminishing returns kicks in too early, I'll just buy poly-fill, look at the juice waste as a cost of doing business, and rack it up to I'm still way ahead of the game, as I'm staying 100% away from analogs!

so, round two, I tried folding a piece into a "U" shape, and inserted with tweezers. Cut off excess at top. Much better wicking, and got the taste back I was missing!

Also, was able to fill the fresh piece with 10-12 drops.
Going to vape a couple of carts worth, and see how the experience factor goes.

Again, still want to stay with the "least amount of hassle" to set up a cart and get the maximum return in juice efficiency use, flavor..

Haven't had "ANY" leak issues (which were dominant w/ polyfill), and no atty flooding, which I'm really happy with.

I've tried every mod and finally bought the blue foam last week. It's a total winner! I had tried several versions of it till I found a post from a member here saying that all you need to do is cut a piece 3/8" by 1/2", fold it in half and then cut the v notch. It rests right on the ledges of the 510 carts and works perfectly! No leaking at all and though I take the piece out to fill and then just squeeze it back in, it's the best mod I've used yet!

Iamreality, can you detail where you cut the "V" wedge?
I looked over the multi-page thread on the blue foam mod, but eclypse kept trying to hi-jack the discussion (Man that guy likes to toot his own horn, lol), and it made it really difficult to follow the threads.

??? Explain that one when its my thread?

You coming here to hi-jack this thread now? :) Why don't you tone down your ego, just a bit. I lurked here for several weeks before I made my first post, but one thing I did notice right away, your ego is bigger than I usually run across, and you're not very popular with quite a few here.

All news to me! BTW.. Please go find my post in that thread? Where was i advertizing my finding in that thread?

I 2 spent a few weeks on these forums before posting in the cart mod threads.

BTW.. No hi-jacking going on just defending myself as you said some crap about me for no reason.

Your a little wet behind the ears to be pushin me around and making bold claims about the blue foam yet your just getting started playing with it.

No freakin ego over here bud.. just statin fact that the blue foam worked great from the get go and wanted to share with my thread.

No idea who you are, yet you start talking crap about me..never met you but i can tell i wont miss much.

Have a good one and good luck with your mod.

The search is over. You got the blue foam right? Why havent you freakin tried the mod before you go all off trying to reinvent the wheel???? Talking crap about mine yet you have not tried it.

You can do whatever ya want.. but dont go blowin off your mouth talkin crap about me and my mod without trying it first! Plenty of people are using it and claim that there happy.

If you got the results i did after the 3rd refill and it was still perfect, you would think the same.

I'll come back in a few months and see where you end up.. if i can find your post.

I'm done.. Not gona help you put your "whateveryoucallit" (as i dont see anything yet) on the map.

One of the reasons I like(d) this thread, that guy wasn't the OP. Instead it was someone nice and informative. I couldn't get through 1 page of the "search is over" thread cause of that guys posts. Can you please ignore him and keep posting more informative stuff about your blue foam experiments?

Hey Redzone, unless Eclypse made a video I don't know about, that wasn't him. It was me. It is his idea, I just took a cam and roughed up his handy work on film. I don't want to take credit for something I didn't think up. His instructions on the forum are much more detailed than that video. Be sure to check the blue foam slug post! Try not to get mad if it seems he is defending his idea. Words typed on the pc can seem to have different meanings to whoever reads it. A lot of people try their best to make things better for all of us. And the blue foam slug is still the best filler I have tried yet.
