Blue foam mod - missing flavor

[noderat]

I've just recently switched to the Marineland blue aquarium foam for my carts and I've noticed a significant decrease in flavor of my juice but a signifigant increase in vapor. I love the new vapor and I don't get the burnt taste because the polyfill can't keep up with my vaping but I miss the flavors I had with polyfill.

Anybody else experience this? I have been using pure VG to cycle between flavors on my atty but I know I've gone though the VG into the ejuice.

How are you stuffing the cart with the foam? Maybe too much foam and its not wicking fast enough and its seperating the juice as in the glicerin is thinner and getting threw and the flavor part is holding back? No wait i always heard glicerin was thick.

heh back to the first part.. how are you stuffing it?

I'm not stuffing it, loose without any pressure just enough foam to fit and not come out. Wicks great and uses most of the cart's juice but just less flavor I've noticed.

Probably too much foam and the juice is seperating in it. Thats why we like the plug.

Others feel dripping is best. You'll notice fuller flavor doing that as the juice is not pulled apart from the cart filler.

The blue foam is BIG on flavor, I can tell you this, there are good days and bad vaping, yesterday was a bad one for me, I was going from one mod to another and nothing was doing it including the foam, today I'm on the foam and all is well.

I was caught off guard the other day, running around changing carts, attys and whatnot....then I popped in a fresh battery..KABOOM!!!

I've had days like that as well! hehe. Might be sinuses or something related.

Also if flavor is missing your probably hitting it too fast in between hits. if you wait a min in between you'll get a full flavor hit.. (who wants to do that! hehe)

Could also again be related to flow. Too quick of hits and the juice dont have enough time to flow in between and no flavor. More time for juice to flow to the top of the filler/pug = Full flavor.

I remember the same prob with PTB as well.

Did you wash the foam first?

i think it too

I didn't on the first one but the 2nd one I did yeah I washed it and it makes it take in juice easier. I've switched to the plug on two of my carts testing now with some RY4

The plug doesn't seem to wick quite as well as using all foam - i'm getting a burnt taste again which regular foam didn't have. I'll have to tweak it a little bit.

Make sure you pat the plug dry when you remove it to refill. That will clean the plug so it will continue to wick as new.

I've tried this and finally gave up with the plug, just using foam all the way through seems to work better for me.

on the marineland cart mod
should you wash it before using?

I use the face buff pad and not the marineland, but, generally, I'd say, wash anything and everything before using.

Yes wash it good. Easier to get a better wash if doing smaller pieces at a time. Just use mild hand soap. When you wash it good you'll know as its a tad lighter in color then the unwashed piece.
