What kind of ecigs are you using? It don't work for me at all.

I use a J118, an Rn4072 penstyle,a 510, and I'm going to try it on my Blu. I works great in all of them so far. You've got to fiddle to get it just right. Too small of a piece and it leaks, to large, and it won't wick. My rule of thumb is to use a piece 1.5 times the width of the cart, and the same length as the cart. For something as large as a penstyle, I cut it twice as long as the cart and fold it in half.

Hope that helps.

If you like the blue foam alone you will love the D.A.R.T. (trimmed down stir-stick with blue foam part way twisted down inside).



I was just reading about the dart. Why would this work better than just filling the cart with foam like I do now? I have heard that if you compress the foam too much, it won't wick. This has proven true in my experience. So, compressing it in the straw, I wouldn't think it would wick.

I'm just trying to figure out the physics of the thing.

The part in the straw doesn't wick. It just makes a plug out of the foam sticking out of it, essentially. This way the whole area in the cart(below the plug) is full of juice.

I Love it! Less juice wasted, more consistant vape. I get many more pulls off my cart before I have to top off. I'm VERY pleased!


I tried this also with 510 and blue foam, but found myself flooding very often. Can you give a detailed description of how you filled up the cart? I've been dripping only, because I found myself flooding when I dont drip.

the difference between the dart and the slug is that with the dart you are sacrificing a drop or two of liquid per refill but it is much easier to make, leaks less (at least for me), and i have never had a dart get stuck on/under the bridge as i have had with the slug.

EDIT: oops, i should probably read what you actually post instead of what i thought you posted.

the difference between using a foam dart and using the foam as filler is that with the dart there is an open chamber between the base of the reservoir and the foam touching the bridge of the atty. why is this important? air is less dense than foam therefor you can fit more liquid in a cart and liquid can flow through the chamber faster than it will wick through the foam so faster wicking speed overall.
