I love the screwdriver/905 model! But I mean filling carts with it gets to be suuuch a pain and more hassle than it's worth, I was totally against dripping before I got my SD but now it's all I do =\ look at some cart mods such as the Pytamid Teabag or blue foam, there's a lot of good information on here about those two and lots of other great cart mods :) good luck

Clean your carts once in a while and you'll extend their life tremendously! I use a 60ml Syringe and a piece of rubber hose that fits tight around the syringe and the cart. Plug the cart into the hose and the syringe. Fill the syringe with boiling water .(wearing gloves of course) inject the cart with the h20 (40ml). Blow out excess water after cool. Place carts into zip lock bag with some un-cooked rice, let sit 24-36 hours. You now have brand new carts. The filler actually "fluffs up a bit" due to the hyper absorbtion of moisture from the rice.

All these tricks came from other people here on ECF but I have know idea who. So thanks go to them, who ever they are.

Of course you can just throw'em away. I've been known to squeeze the fart outa a buffalo nickle.

I tried a few cart mods, like the straw and zfm for the 901 style cartridge. I just have about 10 or so empty mod'd carts. Every few days I refill all my empties and I'm good to go again. About every other week I rinse them all out in hot tap water and make sure I rinse out the polyfill material.

Dripping and/or cartomizers like mistinthewoods suggested. If drive and vape at all, get the cartomizers. The vapornine cartomizers are AMAZING! Once you use them you will wonder why you ever even messed with the stock carts. Dripping is perfect for any time you are relaxing and vaping (tv, computer, hanging out with friends, ect.). I can't stand the thought of having to go back to carts. Too many hassles.

Get a 901 to 801 adapter from TW and then you can use the 801 large carts to vape your heart out.:vapor:

just to say 901 carts is small yes (makes it fun to change flavors), but 15 minutes... is not the cart, its the atty.
i save attys that work like that for at home, and driving, its gotta be a atty that has been used for a day at home, then i`ll take it on the road, and when i got to refill to often its time for a new one...

yah i think cartomizers are the way to go. they last longer and alot cheaper, well if you factor in carts and refilling, plus better flavor

Better flavor? Better flavor than what? That's been the major drawback with cartomizers for me. I find that I get less flavor from them. I've got both 510 and kr808s on different mods and neither one deliver enough flavor for me.
Of course, I started with 901s. I wish they made a carto that performed like a 901 atty.

My 901 came in yesterday. From the pics I had no idea that the carts were SO small. I thought all that space in the atomizer was the juice reservoir! LOL After about an hour, I pulled the fiber out and began dripping. The only problem now is the seepage.

I also started dripping my Hello 016 last night. It has the cone shaped atomizer so no seepage there. I ordered some Aquaclear yesterday and will try that with the carts for the Hello.

I'm a juice hog. I never put the things down. Most of my juices are 0 nics so I don't have to worry about overdosing. I guess I'll end up buying a box mod that contains a juice bottle.

I haven't noticed more flavor dripping. But I was switching juices a lot and that may have some effect. I'm really getting tired of the learning curve. :confused:

Yep, cart size is a problem with the 901. It is with the 510 as well. Don't really see a difference in capacity.
Madvapes has instructions for a 6V juicer that I think I'm gonna make. I believe it has a 3ml bottle. This with a 901 conecter may just be the answer for me. Here's a link if you want to check it out. MadVapes e-Cig 'How To' Tutorials • View topic - 6v Top Feeder Juice Box

I wish! LOL One thing I can guarantee is you won't see me adding to my sig, home made mods. I'm not mechanically inclined. :blush:

I think I've spent at least a couple hundred bucks on kits, juices, and accessories already. I'm really "trying" to restrain from buying anything new at least for a week or two. LOL

But I will definitely be buying as opposed to making. Guys like me keep handymen employed.:oops:
