I was thinking the same thing? Well, no sense in just thinking about it, I am going to remove one of them right now and see how it goes. If all goes well, then there is no point in cutting down the tube to fit inside....we can then leave it longer & just pull it out after refill & reuse it again & again. Good point, thank you!

Was wondering too if the tube is helping cut down on leaking? Haven't had very many leaking issues the last couple days anyway, with or without the tube...think I'm just getting better at filling properly(not overfilling I guess).

Good idea about leaving it longer, easier to pull out if you're not gonna leave it in there. Especially with these small 402 carts, anything to make it easier and it's getting better all the time!

The 'leaks' are from where juice overflowed during fil up.

Leaving the straw in makes the cart perform better and longer.

Modded my mini fogger carts with this, using the original filler, and also with poly fiberfill, both seem to work great. I'm getting between 5-7 drops per cart and its vaping quite well. Hoping this is the answer to my mini fogger seeming to quit vaping with a decent amount of juice still left in the cart.

Thanks for the tip :)

I started doing this with my 401 since you need an unbent paper clip to push the inner cart up anyway. This also works well with a 901.

Drip 2 or 3 or however many drops the cart will take.
Slide the paper clip down into the cart and squeeze the cart material against the side of the cart.
This causes the material to wick up the liquid and leaves room for you to drip in more...as much as it will take.
You can repeat this and also move the material into position.

With the 401, I also dip the end of the atomiser into any excess at the top of the cart, before reassembling. It's just like dripping.

Vape away and keep 'em filled!

I tried the pushing of the wicking to the side with my 801 and literally saw the bubbles escaping from the bottom.
Thanks for the tip. Now I have to carry a paper clip with me. Sigh

I originally tried the coffee straw and got good results until I tasted a little of the straw, so NOW I have tried replacing that with that tube that you blow from a compressed air container.

Any thoughts on this?

Seems to be working great plus it is more narrow so I 'm thinking less contact with atty bridge??

Any thoughts or experiences?

Thanks in advance

Well while bored here at work tonight, I thought I'd finally give this straw trick a try. I found a tube off a compressed air container and gave it a shot. After finally getting the lenght right and all the stuffing back in place, I gotta say this rocks!!:thumb: So far working great! I can definitely notice a difference. Great idea!:D

great mod, first one on the forum I tried and it more than doubled the capacity of the cart.
I did it on a supermini cart using a syringe needle. When I cut the needle (wire cutters) it kept pinching the end that i cut closed. Took a little work but just by pinching that end at a different angle with the clippers I got it to open back up.
Makes refills so much faster

Well I posted a thread with questions about the pyramid tea bags. So I went to Walmart bought a box and OMG I love "teabagging" :D

It has made refilling my carts sooooooooo much easier no more tweezers, paperclips, just use my dropper bottle!!!

Thank You Thank You Thank You for whoever tried this first!!!

Someday more will try them and see. Most think PTB's are regular tea bags and say, "been there, done that". Once tried very few if any go back. ;)
