Blue Foam for Cartridges - What? Better? Where to get?

[Bradder]

To rinse and clean the blue foam I just squeeze the pug while running it under some warm water then mash it between a paper towel.. Seems to be usable immediately. Couple of reason to rinse and dry the foam before using is the taste (though I haven't noticed it) but as someone mentions the foam tends to wick better after use - rinsing it out when you first get it seems to help it wick better the first time you use it.

As for the fluval, tea bag, straw, buff-puff, etc. methods, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using them. I tend to use the foam because it seems to last longer and I change out flavors in carts quite often. But, like anything in vaping, it is all subjective and individual. I know some people that use different "fillers" for different flavors or pg/vg mixes-- actually now that I think of it, when I am using a very high pv concentration mix (very thin) I tend to go with fluval filler to help avoid leaking.

Tried the blue foam with the straw mod on an ego mega atomizer type A. I cut a power v notch on the atomizer end of the straw and an angled cut on the other end. I wrapped the blue foam around the straw. This mod works great. tons of vapor. tons

ive had to try rite size V before actually finding size U and it works just as well. you just have to cut the slugs smaller.

I got the blue foam, too and it does work well because you can usually refill without removing the plug. I tapered my plugs to allow more fill. This stuff is just 1/4" open-cell plastic foam and I believe the sheets of filter foam for window air conditioners would work just as well, and you get a lot more for your money.

I just bought some of the blue. Feel like I wasted $6 on the fluval as it does not work very well for me, too dense maybe? The pyramid teabags aren't bad, but I am hoping that the blue form will be even better (and after it dries from the wash I gave it, I will find out!).

dormouse, with the ones ordered from strictlyejuice.com do you have to rinse them or are they ready to go?

I bought the pre-cut blue foam from strictlyejuice.com and had no indication whether it was pre-washed or not, so I thoroughly wash each piece before I use it. Better safe than sorry.

One thing about Blue Foam is that it is easy to cut it precisely. Where as Poly fill is kinda a by guess and by golly afair.

One you get the perfect size Blue Foam piece for you cart, it's easy to make more. Just use the first one as a templete,
