Blue Foam Mod not lasting as long as it should?

[Raid3n]

So tonight I popped in some blue foam I ordered last week and it is absolutely amazing. By far the best flavor I have gotten out of my 510 yet. But after vaping on the cartridge for about 2 hours at a rate I normally do the cart seems to be empty. I stuck a toothpick in to gauge how much is the cart and there wasn't much left at all. Compared to the stock 510 batting I got about 6 times LESS time out of the cart with the blue foam.

I've read threads and watched videos where people say their carts will last upwards of a day. I know this is going to be different for everyone but 2 hours for a full 510 cart with moderate vaping just doesn't seem right...

What I did for the cart is I cut the foam to be the width of the cart and then I cut it so that about a third to a half of it would be filled by the foam. I put in 15ish drops in the cart without the foam and then I put the foam in, pushed it down a bit so it got saturated and then pulled it back up to be flush with the top of the cart.

Can anyone point out something I'm doing wrong?

Nothing seems wrong if it didn`t leak out. Flood the atty. Or give you mouth full's of juice. You must have turned it into vapor. Good job.

I don`t really know how long mine last since I top them off often though. But it can`t be wasted.

Hmm...guess I'm going to have to learn to moderate my vaping when using it then... Damn I was hoping it was always gonna be like that but throughout the day. Oh well, good thing I usually carry around about 6 carts with me to keep myself supplied throughout the day

I'm a foam user myself. The thing about it is, it makes the juice wick up to the atomizer bridge more evenly and at a constant rate. It allows for a stronger, better vapor. But because you're taking in more vapor, naturally, the juice goes away faster. On small carts like the stock 510 and the Super Mini RN4081 that I use, you gotta top-off often if you vape a lot. I just keep a tiny dropper bottle of e-liquid with me at all times in my e-cig kit, so I can top off. Seems to be a lot less trouble for me than to sit there and prepare 6 or 7 carts for the day. I just top off as needed. My lifestyle allows me to do that, and I work and have a pretty active life. If I were driving all the time, or something that wouldn't allow me to .... around with e-liquid, then I guess I would have to prepare carts in the morning.

Maybe tighten up your foam width...it'll still wick good but not more liquid. My foam is about 1 and an 1/8 of the cart...if this makes any sense

How do you keep your refilled carts so that they dont spill?
Im also wanting to keep more on me, just never thought of a way to "keep" them on me.

no that doesnt make sense... u just said your foam takes up 112.5% of the cart.

but ill assume u meant just 1/8th of cart... which also seems very small...
*confused*...

is there a mod that wicks well and vape at a moderate pace - comparable to stock?

is that asking for too much?

Keep the clear rubber "cart condoms" that the pre-filled carts ship with.

Well, Fluval is very cheap. Or, you can go to Dunkin Donuts, or some other coffee shop, and take some stirrer straws. I've only gone as far as the straw mod on my stock 510 carts and it works well enough for me (so far).
