Blue Foam PLUG! UPDATED v2.0 "THE SLUG" - The Search is over!

[eclypse]

Pretty much gave up on scottyballs new mod last night. I'll mess with it some more sometime.

Nothing was working for me with high voltage.. then finally i said screw it and grabbed a blue foam plug and turned it on its side (skinny side) so it would be that much more taller and shoved it in the top of the cart with its length going between the short walls.

What this did was make it taller so its really making good contact with the atty bridge and its airy on the sides of the plug. Dense enough to hold as the length is conpressed that much more going between the short walls.. Really ended up putting the slug in totally wrong and its been working great all night and just tried it this morning with it sitting there for 8 hours standing and it hit perfectly. heheh..

I'm gona try this threw out the day and if it ends up working the same i'll be forced to make it the new official blue foam high voltage version!

Crazy how something ends up working out good when you try something that you figure theres no way. hehe.

No video needed. I'm not modifying a perfectly good cart design. The air evacuation was perfected long ago by the straw mod. The straw not only holds up the plug, it also evacuates the air from the bottom of the cart. Use the straw and you wont need to butcher your carts. No air trapped in my carts.

Dont make a different what you do below the plug. If the plug is covered with juice, no air will pass. So its air tight and the juice will hold.

Next time you go to toss a cart, melt drill a small hole in the side. Cover it with your finger and fill it up. Hold it over another empty cart. You'll notice the juice holding. Now uncover the hole and watch the juice empty in a hurry.. for fun put add your straw and plug in first.

Same thing as taking a straw and putting it in a glass of water. Cover the end with your finger and pull it out. The water will hold. Uncover the top of the straw and watch it empty.

Leaks too much. As its thin on the short sides as thats the walls the juice flows. Made another one thats longer and inserted it long ways in the cart so its compressed more on the sides and thin in the middle.. Holds juice.. Now trying the same but i've thinned out the middle with a hole punch.. hehe.. Were trying!

No, It's not. You obviously have never seen the original straw mod.

I don't toss carts. All of mine are still in use, some for the past 10 months. The juice will hold more because of the viscosity and friction. You are also creating a path for leaks too.

Same thing as taking a straw and putting it in a glass of water. Cover the end with your finger and pull it out. The water will hold. Uncover the top of the straw and watch it empty.

That proves nothing, totally irrelivant when it comes to everyday cart use.

You need to get out more. The world doesn't revolve around you and that blue foam. You didn't invent the material, you weren't even the first one to use it in a cart.

The RSP is still the concept that is going to be the most viable. The objective is to create the largest reservoir which means the use of some kind of material to define the reservoir. Then you need a plug (wick) to bring the juices to the atomizer. It's just that simple. There are many different ways and materials to creat the same concept.

I had two of them working great for a day then I realized it wasn't allowing me to fill the cart, just the plug so I pulled it out. It's never been the same since and neither have my attempts at replacements.

Unfortuantely the refilling is a draw back to the reservoir plug cart. My only solution has been to carry enough prefilled carts with me when I travel. I also have a juice bottle with a needle dropper.

Being able to repeat the success is also a problem if you don't document the construction of the best working cart.

That's actually a good thing to hear. I obviously didn't read enough of this monster port and was trying to make the plug thin enough to refill through and that's where the trouble came in. Thanks.

I spend most of my time stationary in my car so removing the plug and refilling isn't a huge deal especially if I keep a few full carts for when I can't.

My resonse in RED.

No, It's not. You obviously have never seen the original straw mod.

You were not talking about the original straw mod.. you said put a straw in and add the plug on top. The original straw mod worked cause people were using the original poly-fil cart filler that will hold the juice and the straw was stoping the air from being trapped in the cart. (The oringal straw was off to the side of the cart not holding a plug for those of you that dont know.)


I don't toss carts. All of mine are still in use, some for the past 10 months. The juice will hold more because of the viscosity and friction. You are also creating a path for leaks too.

If i created an air passage it will leak as its just a plug not a full cart of blue foam.


That proves nothing, totally irrelivant when it comes to everyday cart use.

??? It proves everything that no one else thinks about.. i seem to be the only one to realize how its air pressure thats holding the juice from flowing/wicking.

You need to get out more. The world doesn't revolve around you and that blue foam. You didn't invent the material, you weren't even the first one to use it in a cart.

??? Wha? You want to come over and watch my 2 kids so i can? I try others mods if i feel i may benifit from it or it may work.

Never said i invented it, i just changed it. Took from the PTB Plug and used the foam for the plug. No one else in the original foam filter thread didnt think of it and it was pretty huge as mine but mine got more attention as people obviously want to maximize there cart size and hold more juice without topping off so much.

Do I sense some jealousy? Wheres your cart invention?

The RSP was taking from my design.. all she did was add a straw to support the plug and tried other plug materials cause she could'nt find the blue foam in her area! She has mentioned over and over that she's waitin on me to finalize the plug before she tries it... or so she says hehe. I'll probably have to mail her a fully finished plug set for her to try it as she's still spending all her time searching for the mod that will work good for her.

So.. if it works why is she still looking???

This isnt my first thread on the blue foam plug.. if you look you'll find it and see in the first 2 pages where she comes up with her design that was made for flat tip 510/901/801 carts.


Go find a new thread or start your own... When i make a video expaining this better for you cause your not absorbing what i'm trying to get into your head, i'll PM you a link!

How about the sponge from the foam mops? Just a thought!

No idea.. Would think it may be treated with chemicals though since its used for cleaning and would need to hold up. Though i could be wrong.

The blue foam is made for aquariums and so would be chemical free or it would kill the fish. So for that fact we think its safe to use.

Like I said. You need to get a life. Not only are you full of it you're obsessed with it.

Like talking to a tree.

New plug.. this one will be version 3 the foam bridge.

Didnt expect to post it so soon as i just came up with it early this morning i believe hehe.. been up since 8am thanks to my 9 month old son.

I mentioned it in another thread as a guy was fustraighted with the plugs mods.

So heres a quick release.. Will try giving it that normal touch later on tonight if i got the energy after Christmas shopping.


Cut a piece thats a 1/2 long and 3/8ths wide. Now with the piece in front of you laying long ways across from left to right. Cut a ^ shape out of the middle thats about 1/4" from the top. Now it should look like a bridge with legs on each side. ( I actually used a paper hole punch to cut the ^ shape from the middle hehe)
Now to insert it is different from my other mods. Stand the bridge up on its legs. Pick it up with your thumb and index finger squeezing it together ( the legs together) Now insert it into the top of the cart so that the legs are touching the round sides with no lips. Push it down into the cart a little so that its resting on the lips. I doubt this will work on carts with no lips like the 901/801.. straw mod would probably be out.
Oh and fill the cart before ofcourse! hehe. Add a drop or 2 afterwards on the plug if it looks dry.
That should do it.
Make sure to hold your e-cig on an angle (45 degree) while your using it or just inbetween hits. Why? Well thats how the juice will flow down the cart on the smooth sides where the inner lips are not.. would be the same on any other cart as the juice will flow down the walls.. if you just have it standing straight up the juice will hold down in the cart. When its resting on the walls the juice will flow down the fall slowly as it has a path to follow.
If you ever get a dry fire and you know you got more in the tank thats probably whats going on. Hold the cig on an angle and it will flow down to the tip.


My new mod will grab that juice when it reaches the bridge legs and direct it to the center of the plug where its needed insted of just leaking right on threw.


This version works better then any of them as it fixed the problem with the damn plug not being tall enough to make good contact with the bridge.. well i noticed when using the original the past 2 days or so.

Making great contact and also not too deep so it wont burn with high voltage as its not sitting deep around the bridge like the slug is. That plus its wicking great so it should never get that hot.. You'll know when its dry as it will feel wired on a dry pull like sucking threw a clogged straw.

NO FREAKIN LEAKAGE!

I've tried it with both VG and PG and 3.7v and 5/6 volt devices! Its good to go!

Just make sure to hold that puppy on a 45 degree angle so the juice will run down the cart walls into the plug and not hold as it will if you hold your device straight up in between hits.

The RSP was taking from my design.. all she did was add a straw to support the plug and tried other plug materials cause she could'nt find the blue foam in her area!

Not to get in the middle of this little spat, but to set the record straight, I actually got the idea from Scottyballs ADM mod and I actually credit him for it in my first post on the thread, with a link to his mod. I didn't want to use a spring to support the plug, because of corrosion concerns, so went looking for a different support for the plug.

I had seen various blue foams for quite some time on these boards, long before your posts. But no one was ever completely happy with it, so I didn't even bother looking further, until you declared the search was over. lol! That is when I started paying attention to your thread. I was going to pick some up, because a lot of other people said it's a decent plug too, but Scottyballs then built the silicone plug off of my straw mod and that sent me in a different direction. Based on posts all over the boards, the blue foam just doesn't have the resiliancy to keep pressing on the bridge and that is the real reason I haven't run out 35 minutes away to the nearest pet store. Ultimately, it recedes and shrinks, the same as the blue & green scrubbies, the BP and the PTB.

Look in the mirror as your describing yourself to the 'T'.

Thick headed and wont even try what i ask yet tell me i'm wrong.

Grab a straw and cover the far end with your finger and blow into the open end and tell me what happends????

Take that same straw and insert it into a drink. Cover the end with your finger and pull the straw out??? Yup the liquid is holding. Let go of the end and watch it flow out.. Same xxxx as a cart. If your trying to tell me that the juice dont hold in the cart cause of air pressure, leave the cart mods to someone that understands what the hell is going on.

And you wonder why I still use my axial stainless steel spring....

 

[kristin]

True - you use the spring vertically though. What material have you been using for the plug?

As i mentioned.. you hav'nt tried it for yourslef and your going off of information that ad2 is saying which he also has made it clear his head is thick and wont listen to anything and hense comes up with crap and posts it like he's a freakin scientist and knows what he's talking about, yet no mod from the man.. nothing possitive to include to any mod.

I've mentioned it a bunch of times.. everytime i hear him say it, that i'm using the same damn slugs since the begining! Still hold juice and no freakin leakage! If there was leakage i'd change it.

Had no idea Kristin as you just popped up in my original plug thread with pictures of your straw holding a plug idea.. though you were trying to add to my mod.

That is why you notch the bottom of the straw, though. My original RSP mod drained beautifully - I just didn't like the taste of the blue scrubbie material and that is why I went on the search for a different plug material. Anyhow, what you say would be true, if you didn't notch the straw.
