Has anyone use the Blue Foam Cartridge Filler from StrictlyEjuice?

Sorry, not able to post links just yet, so, to see what I'm referring to:

Go to "strictlyejuice.com",
on the left click "Accessories",
click the "Cartridge Filler" icon,
and there you are.

These are pre-cut and are ready to be inserted into the cartridge.

I just got an order of the blue foam and I like them ALOT...and they allow enough room to fit a couple of extra drops of juice into the cart..I am vaping twice as long on a single cart now. I definately recommend them.

I have a silly question... :blush:
Can you use the blue foam to replace the filler in cartomizers as well or just regular carts? I'm pretty new to all of this and still trying to get the hang of how all of this works.
Thanks! :thumb:

I used to cut my own. Now i just use the regular polyfill. Works better....BUT...you must click on the link on my signature!
I tried using HighPing's Cart MOD but I just couldn't get it to work properly. The Blue Foam filler is supposed to work exactly the same way as HighPing's MOD but are already pre-cut and tapered.

There is a massive amount of filler in cartos and I wouldn't recommend using blue foam to replace it as you simply couldn't fit enough in them.
You're not supposed to fill the cart up with the blue foam. The foam only extends 1/3 to 1/2 way down the cart leaving the balance without any foam which allows for 100% liquid.

I bought the precut stuff from strictly and loved it! Not trying to turn money away from strictly or anything...but I ended up getting a ton of it from Petsmart for $8 and I can cut it to the exact size I need.
I debated doing that, but being the lazy soul I am, I opted for someone else doing the hard work for me... :p
Anyway, for $0.75 for 10, that's not too bad. I ordered 2 packs which should keep me going for quite a while.

aye, you can get a massive piece of aquarium foam for next to nothing at a pet shop. It would probably last you most of your life. Then again, at 75c for 10, it's not like they are taking people for a ride!

I totally agree and even felt bad for buying it from Petsmart but I had so much I was able to send out a bunch for PIF and have enough left to last me for a long, long time. Strictly definitely has a fair price! I do like being able to cut my own sizes though as I have some carts that are smaller or larger though!

The blue foam mod works. It you use thin juices, you'll want to use a deeper block. Experimentation may be necessary to prevent leaking.
A picture is worth 1000 words, so here it is in the link.

Marineland Magnum Foam Sleeve "Rite-Size U" 3pk.

BTW, I used the blue foam mod and its variants, the blue foam dart, etc. The best thing I have used yet is the pyramid tea bag (PTB mod). Kristin has posted the best one, IMO.

Half a tea bag works for most liquids. The whole bag is good for thin juices to prevent leaking.

I tried the PTB mod, but when I put the cart into the atty it all leaked out. It's probably because I didn't do it right, but I though I had followed the instructions correctly. I even watch a few videos related to the PTB mod and did it exactly like they showed. I also frizzed the end that touches the bridge which seems like a good idea to get the tea bag material to drape over the bridge for better wicking. Maybe that was the problem; the wicking ended up being too good... :p
