I started vaping V4L automatic and manual batteries about a 45 days ago and used the Taryn spin (good invention) and all of the techniques to fill my cartomizers . About two weeks later I bought a Duracig Ego XL (Janty copy) which uses cartridges and an atomizer and have tried the teabags and fluval fillers, all great, but while reading SCOTTYBALLS post on the ZFM Filler mod
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/53487-zfm-zero-filler-mod.html
some of the V4L cartomizers were lying in front of me and they have the white silicone
insides on the mouth's side. See pic (don't know what it's called). So I used one of them (the one on the left gave me better results)
View attachment 18331 .



I filled an Ego XL cartridge without any filler with about 30 drops of juice......

and inserted the white (V4L) silicone piece to the the rim of the cartridge..........

No dripping when turned over or lying on it's side, just a hint of liquid at the hole.

I then stuck the cartridge into the atomizer, tight fit (have to help all the edges of the cart in, because the silicone thingy expands the rim of the cart).

I think the bridge of the atomizer forces the (V4L) silicone piece up further and creates some pressure inside the cartridge which helps it to drip and keep the bridge and atomizer wet.

I have vaped all the liquid out of some and others, when they do run dry and I know there is still liquid in I just flick them with my index finger or tap the battery end on something and they go.



I have used this method on three Ego XL Atomizers and on two of them it was very successful. The third was unsuccessful with either flooding or tooo dry.......play with it (I think it's because the bridge was shaped differently, I don't know).

If it runs too dry I have found that cutting a small x (same as ZFM Filler Mod in the hole helps)

Let me know if this works 4 u, or any improvements.

Nicely done, indeed! I just recently got my ZFM plugs and after seeing and using them on the 510 cartridges for my Tornado eGo, was thinking of trying the same when the eGo mega carts arrive. Looking forward to seeing how this goes since my previous ecigs are the Kr808 E9 size..

I hoped the old system would still be good for something

Thanks for the help, your version of this mod helped me perfect mine. I'll post in a new thread how I did it for the XL (non-cone type) atty.

Please do! I'm expecting my cylinder style here soon and want to know how to do it. Also, if you can post the source for the plug it would be appreciated!

OK I have to thank both you canabino and valsacar.

canabino, thanks for confirming my hoping thoughts that my kr8 carto parts can be used for yet another one of my mod ideas. I have been using carto parts for just about everything :D from flushing atties making huge carts with 901 battery tubes .. and turning 510/901 atties into sudo-cartomizers (a little cumbersome of a task though).... This seals the deal on me purchasing ego xl atties (currently love the ego xl cartos ) if this works for me as it does for you... you can bet I will make a video/thread confirming it and giving you the credit you deserve....

valsacar, thanks goes to you because I just finished reading your thread.. and if it wasn't for you linking this one I might have missed this and wouldn't have purchased ego atties :D


great work

You are welcome LGD. Me and the lady have been using this method for over a month now and this makes it easy even for her (shes not all that techie and wasn't impressed with opening the cart all the time to drip on the filler). Just fill it up and vape untill juice runs out. For me that's about a half a days vaping. Hope this works on your new atties.

Well canabino... while I am waiting on my order with the cone shaped ego atties from HG I got to thinking. by the picture of the ego cone shaped atties I thought hey why not try them on one of my 801 carts and atties (yes I enjoy a variety of model atties :D )

and yes they fit perfect in my 801 cart and when I press the cart into my High bridge penstyle atty it makes perfect connection/pressure so I am sure this will be fine with the cone atties.

couple of things the silicone cap is pretty thick so it does seem that cutting little slits would be the best thing to do.. (I can speak of this model only, for now)

it took a little to get it right, but really isn't that hard.... sort of a ready made mod :D.... now I have only been vaping it for about an hour, but it does seem to be taking the juice well... The cart doesn't leak, but with the 801 I can't say it's TOTALLY leak proof... (since the 801 atties could be little leakers :D ) i will still call it a no leak mod taking my model into conceration


I will update or create another thread as time progresses ... I will give it a 4 out of 5 with FIRST impressions I will wait for my shipment for more tests

Glad to hear it actually works for someone and even on a different setup.

If you don't want to cut the slits.
What I have realized is that the juice only drips when you take a drag on the cart's mouth piece. The draw on the cart creates suction inside the chamber which pulls the juice through the silicone cap's hole out of the cartridge onto the bridge.

If you get a dry taste, give it two long hard drags (not too hard or argggg that juice taste) without pressing the switch and then take your normal drag with the switch pressed.

Everybody takes different drags and from my experience the harder you drag the more juice will come out of the cart and when your drags are too soft it can run dry because there is not enough suction to draw the juice out. Play with how hard you drag also.

Play with it.

RC You can buy them here. They are supposed to be banned but no evidence of this has been seen because several shops sell these, the law here is weird. Myself and many of my friends have ordered supplies from outside and have not had any problems with packages being flagged. You should not have any problems bringing your stuff here.

Enjoy
