Bounty paper towel mod

[Transformer]

Try this out !!!

items needed : Bounty paper towel
Large diameter plastic drinking straw from fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Arby's etc.

1, Cut a piece of bounty paper towel 3 inches long and the width of a Qtip.
2, cut one end of the Qtip off and use the stick to roll the paper towel
starting from the edge of the paper towel. The finished roll should be
slightly larger then the diameter of the drinking plastic straw. Do not
remove the Qtip.
3, Holding the roll and the Qtip stick and insert the roll into the straw. Rotate the straw the same direction of the roll the same time as you push the roll
in makes it easier to insert the roll.
4, pull the straw out after the roll is completely inserted into the straw. Cut the excess straw off.
5, cut a piece about 1/8" of the straw roll. Remove the paper from the cut straw with a pair of tweezers and keeping the small 1/8" roll from coming apart. Insert the roll into the top of the cart with the center hole facing up after filling the cart almost to the top. Couple more drops of liquid on the roll to top it off.

I like this mod because the bounty paper really soaks up the liquid quick, keeps it wet and does not burn. You can make a bunch of these straws and just cut a small piece off each time you refill the cart and no need to buy the straws. Just save the straw each time you buy a drink from fast food restaurant and everybody uses Bounty.

Try it and let me know how you like it.

I used to work for Proctor & Gamble paper products, and I wouldn't recommend using Bounty for that purpose. I can't mention the exact ingredients used to produce the pulp since I signed a non-disclosure agreement when I left the company, but the ingredients are not healthy things to ingest.

The trick with cart mods is to suspend the liquid not absorb it.

Wow! Thanks, Good to know. I will quit using it. Here's another similar mod and it works with fluval and Lipton tea bag. I was using this until I switch to Bounty. I thought it was easier to make.

1 Cut the tea bag in 4 equal pieces and roll it tight with the Qtip stick.
2. Hold the qtip with the rolled teabag and place it on a thin layer of fluval the same width of the tea bag. The length of the fluval should be about 1-/2" to 2" pending on the thickness of the fluval. Thin-2", thick-1-1/2".
3. Roll the teabag/qtip with the fluval starting at the edge of the fluval. The finished roll should be slightly bigger in diameter of the straw.
4, insert the roll into the drinking straw turning the straw in the same direction of the roll and pull the qtip out after. Cut the rest of the straw off.

Now you'll have the tea bag in the center of the fluval that acts as the straw tube. Cut 1/8" section of the stuffed straw and pull the fluval/teabag roll out and insert it in the cart. The round teabag hole will get compressed and will look flat. This allows the liquid flow into the fluval quicker and the tea bag hole is narrow enough that it will not leak out. Top it off with a few drops.

Try this and see what you think.

Try my other mod. Fluval/teabag straw mod. I think you'll like it better.

Sorry. I won't try it. No need to reinvent the wheel

Thanks for posting Transformer. Love seeing people share thier ideas. Even if they work or don't work, its these type of threads that get results. I like the q-tip rod idea to help force materials into straw mods. Thanks for the tips!!!

No filler material require with my mp-1, I love it. No chance for the filler material to burn or get nasty if its not there.....

I've used the so called Highping mod even before I've ever knew about it. Sometime the filler gets pushed into the cart too deep or gets stuck on the atty. With the teabag tube in the center helps keeping the filler material friction fit to the cart better because it's a stiffer material and the atty only touches the teabag most of the time reducing chances of the filler getting stuck to the atty.

Thank you for your support.

The nice thing about pushing the filler into a drink straw is that you know you'll have the same size and thickness of the filler each time you use it. No more massing around with
the poly each time. The filler fits nice and tight in the straw and ready to be used. glad that the q-tip works for you.

I'm new to the forum. What is the mp-1 mod ?

I have been using the HP Mod since my first week. Nothing else is required in the cart besides the poly plug. I do not roll my plug like HP. I just cut a piece from a sheet of poly fill I have. The resistance is enougth to hold it in place.

The fact that it gets pushed up by the atty is a good thing. It means it is contact with the bridge and will remain there. If the plug sticks to the atty, means you vaped it dry. If you get a burnt/foul taste, means you vaped it dry.

Contrary to HP, I don't wash mine out, I toss them after about a week or when I see signs of discolouration. After you have vaped a while, you will know when a plug has become useless.

There is absolutely no need to put anything in the cart, adding stuff merely reduces the space available for valuable liquid. With practice and adjustment, the plug can render a drip like experience.

Remember, the sole purpose of the plug or any other material is to just keep the liquid in suspension. If it sticks or provide a burnt or foul taste, it is either dry or you are doing it wrong.

I haven't replaced my blue foam, in one case, for over four months. It never discolored or looked any different than when new. It did, however, lose resiliency, becoming increasingly weak and unable to "spring" against my atomizer, so liquid transfer from it to the atomizer became less and less effective.

It was cleaned, but only when changing flavors. A tap water rinse was all the cleaning it got.
