Quick question - I'm sure this has been covered somewhere back on the depths of the thread. I'm trying to do a Bad LTB mod to my regular r3 (I think) ... following his video. But for the life of me that pesky inner ring will not budge! I'm using a pair of fine-nose tweezers - but that thing feels like its glued in and the tweezers just keep slipping off. I don't want to wreck the thing... any advice?
It takes time and patience. If it's a R3 there's a chance you might have a little glue holding the inner cap on. I use a small punch to go around from the inside and pop it loose, but be careful. Just work around in a circle and take your time.
btw you might want to try my way first - you don't have to cut the wicks:
"Ok here's how *I* mod these. YMMV and if anything I say sounds like Greek to you PM me and I'll try to explain further. Before using these for the first time - check the threads! If they look damaged do NOT screw it on your battery/mod. Doing so can ruin your battery!
1. Remove the mouthpiece, middle ring and bottom filler ring.
2. Rinse the carto throughly in hot water or boil... your choice.
3. Blow it out, place it your battery source (mods work best) and power it on while it drys. After the sizzle stops continue to pulse the power on and off until the carto stops smoking. Continue to pulse the power on and off until the coil is a nice orange color. Unscrew the carto.
4. Cut the top seam on a Lipton Pyramid Tea Bag and remove the tea. Cut the two glued seams with scissors and open the PTB up so you have a single-layer, long rectangular piece.
5. Cut the PTB in half (through the shortest part). Take that piece and cut in half again (again through the shortest part). Each quarter piece will make (1) plug.
6. Fold the piece you just cut in half (width-wise), then in half again (width-wise). Tri-fold that piece (width-wise) so that you end up with a small rectangular piece roughly 1/2" by 1/4".
7. Holding the PTB with pointed tweezers, give it a slight bend so that the end is shaped roughly like the inside of the carto wall. Using your tweezers gently push the PTB between the slot in the cup and the outer carto wall. Push it about half-way in (folds to the top). Repeat process on the other side.
8. Once you have both pieces half-way in, continue pushing them in until the PTB is even with the top of the cup. It will take a little bit of force but they should go in fairly easily.
9. Drip fill the carto (or inject with a syringe) until the juice is just below the top of the cup.
10. Place the MIDDLE ring up against the top of the cup flat side down.
11. Replace the mouthpiece and vape (you can save the filler ring if you want, but if you've done everything right you'll never need it again)."
