Cartridge Filler

[LateNiteTip]

Hello again,
I expect that my 510 starter kit will show up tomorrow some time. I looked around to see if I could find the answer to my question and had no luck. I didn't order any filler material with my initial order. Well my question is, how often do you have to replace the filler material in a cartridge? Do you have to add new filler after every time you refill it? Can i use the filler material in the prefilled carts that came with my order? Or am i going to be stuck dripping immediately? Thanks in advance for all responses.

You dont have to refill the filler every time at all, you will know when its time, also depending on what you use it is washable under hot water, I prefer the poly 20% and also the blue foam. look into both they are very cheap..!!

Thank you sir. I appreciate the quick response. That's good to know that i don't have to replace it every time. I will place another order with some blue foam and hopefully the filler in the pre-filled carts will last until then. Thanks again.

The blue foam is called Fluval and available at aquarium supply stores.

100% Premium Polyester Fiberfil is available at Walmart for about $3.00 for a HUGE bag! It works great for me for refilling my carts. I haven't tried the blue foam but I have tried the Pyramid Tea Bags and I can't seem to get them to work very well. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong even after watching some of the YouTube videos.

AquaClear is just as good as the blue foam...

I'd take a look at HighPing's cart mod. You can't go wrong with it. Uses the original fill.

I just tried the Pyramid Tea Bags I love it!!!! This is the longest my cart has lasted. I followed his instructions to the T. I used the cute Canadian guys video. YouTube - Quick Easy Lipton Pyramid Tea Bag Cart Mod for 510 ecig or 901 e-cig It's like falling in love with my PV all over again! I'm sorry the Tea Bag mod didn't work out for you. My husband had to triple puff it then it worked for him. Maybe you can try that. Or watch the Canadian guy's vid.

'Morning All !

This was a great question.....!

I would like to expand this question if I may ?

When replacing the filler material on the black cartridges (white fiber) how much should be put in? It's seems to be pretty inconsistent with the amount in each one now. I do know if I take out the orig material to give it a quick rinse, I have to stuff it back in and when I refill with my juice it does not get all the way thru.

appreciate any thoughts.

Most do not like the stock filler that is used in the carts and will switch it out to other various materials such as blue foam Marineland Rite-Size U Bonded Foam Sleeve Sleeves, Fluval Fluval Canister Filter Foam Blocks for Models 104 - 404, from Hagen - Filter Media - Fish - PetSmart or the Lipton Pyramid Teabags.

IMO, the blue foam has a nasty taste/smell which, no matter how many times it is rinsed, I can still smell and taste. Fluval is better as such that it does not have that nasty smell/taste. But if you get the Fluval, make sure you purchase the foam pads and not the polishing pads. The PTB is my favorite and no matter what I have tried, this has been my tried and true. You will have to find out what works for you. Good Luck and Happy Vapes!

Love the teabag mod! I have tried the buff puff mod but man I can't seem to get the buff puff in correctly even after watching the video a dozen times!!!! The one I go in there right now seems to be doing fine, but only time will tell!!! If you try it make sure to take your time getting the spring in and don't get frustrated because it can be a real pain!

I've noticed that too, when I bought some pre-filled carts(with mbro liquid), the filler was really packed in there and seemed more dense. But when I use an empty cart, it seems like it's more loosely packed in and doesn't wick as good. I'm thinking of trying the PTB & blue foam mods in some of my carts to see if they work better.

Just bought a box of PTB and man they are HARD to find!!!! Four stores later I picked some up! Going to give it a go here in a little while as it seems this is mostly everyones favorite. Thanks for the great info and to the people in this forum!!
