Bottom feeding - pros/cons what are your experiences

[dannoman]

Not like David's, here's mine in a 2AA box

....and in The Puck

I vent it so the juice doesn't get sucked back down into the bottle. I'm also testing one I made that uses a check valve. it's not a big deal; just a mod of a mod

Can you describe the mechanics of how this juices with a draw? Is there any effects of the elngth of the draw? How is this juice pulled in from the tube by drawing?

I've made a bunch of bottom-feeders because I think they're the way to go. Everything's inside the box, with no hoses or buttons to snag, and atty-feeding is extra simple: Invert the PV, give the bottle a quick squirt, and you're vaping. Yeah, you're gonna have to learn what "quick" means, but that comes "quickly"
The pink one got my wife more interested in vaping, although she's not 100% into it - yet.

I forgot to mention that cartomizers are more forgiving if you're worried about flooding. the filler inside absorbs any excess squeezin's if you're over-exuberant.

I got your PM and just want to understand your terms. You say you vent this with a small brass tube out of the juice bottle. Just like soem more info on that. By vent what are you meaning, you mean providing a path for the juice? How do you mean that that doesn't allow the juice to be sucked back down?

You also said you use different fittings for different juices. Does each fitting have an adjustment in the width of the intake into the cart. Speakign of which this appears to use a cart with filling over an atomizer?

In a "normal" tube feeder the air system is closed. Squeeze the bottle to push juice through the tube to get to the cart. When you stop squeezing, the juice is sucked back down the tube into the bottle. The vent opens the air system (1mm brass tube w/opening burnished to about .2mm). This allows the juice to sit up in the tubing and easily flow the short distance to the cart.

Here's the inside of The Puck

The brass fitting that screws into the cart has an opening where the tube is attached. By adjusting that opening larger or smaller, thick or thin juice moves at about the same rate. You can use one size opening and change how you draw on the cart, but I'd rather have the hardware make most of the adjustments.

ok much clearer...thanks...so the vent keeps the juice 'sucked' up into the tube...how does the juice continue to be refreshed into that tube? Does just the drawing action keep the tube filled?

Yes...when you draw it pulls the juice into the cart

I love my kaji JM. Game changer from my previous pv. But if I had to pick something I dislike about it, it would be that for some reason it seems the flavors have changed slightly. Maybe it's just me, Idk.

I am using a Wetbox, also, and while I have posted my lukewarm reaction to it elsewhere on this forum, overall I have to say it's not turning out to be as bad as many people seem to think. I do get the occasional flooded carto, but it clears fast enough. I also have not experienced any leakage in over a month of use. The one thing I continue to dislike about it is the fact that it requires cartos. I have yet to get 3 solid days out of one before they lose vapor/TH. But regardless, I am loving the ease of use and relatively long battery life as compared to my older L88b and RN4081 models.

I am waiting on an Ali'i, which would let me switch to LR attys vs. cartos, and with longer battery life. I am looking forward to that.

I clean my cartos every night before bed and let them dry overnight. They last 2-3 weeks and still pull strong to the end.
