evo cartmods?

Can't say I've tried any mods but I bought a bundle of the new ecopure carts and find I get a lot of vaping out of them and, so far, they've been leak free (I daresay that might change if I was refilling them myself).
Not sure when they started changing carts or what the old ones were like but I know the ECOpure carts that I got in December had a larger inner cart than most 4xx styles at the time and I never had a problem with leaking. They are actually the only carts I use filler in and I just used the stock filler.
I have tried the PTB, screen, and straw mods in my Evo, I found they flood the battery (at least for me). I think I have the older carts (they are tiny), I bought them before Christmas. Mine seem to just work the best with prefilled carts, maybe 1 or 2 refills, before they either flood the battery, leak all over or don't let the juice go. I love my Evo for out and about, fits great in my pocket, great flavor! But it's just too much work, for me, for a day at home.

Only thing I have here at the moment is my phone camera so the pictures are pretty horrid but should give you an idea at least. \
The one on the left in both pics is the interior cart of the ECOpure prefilled carts and the one on the right is from an m702/40x cart which I assume is what the older EVO carts were but can't say since I didn't have them.
I seem to have a different style of older cart from the one shown above.
I've been using the new carts for a few weeks now, I prefer them to the old style. The new style is the brown one on the left.
The new ones seem to be slightly longer and I'm guessing they hold slightly more liquid, but the biggest advantage to me is that they are a looser fit so I can just drop them into the mouthpiece, rather than having to press them down to the bottom with a paperclip or spare cart.
Air circulation is better so I get far fewer battery cut-offs (as I don't have to draw as hard/long).
I seem to be doing OK with the standard filler in the new carts, whereas I used PTB in the old ones.

My experiences pretty much concurs with that although as I don't refill them I initially found the looseness a bit of a nippy sweety. I was forever losing the insides when removing the cart to do a bit of dipping. It doesn't bother me now as I'm aware of it and I can see the attraction where refilling is concerned. The only thing is, they're not entirely consistent. Some carts you just have to turn upside down to get the inner part out whereas others won't budge even when you're banging the cart on a table.

Sorry for the delay but we just got back from a short break in the English Lake District - if you want an incredible experience check out Aphrodite's Lodge at Bowness on Windermere with its 17 themed rooms; we were in the Austin Powers suite this visit and it was truly shagtastic baby!!
Anyway, back to a different kind of filling; our new carts (UK made) are the ones on the left and a few might have a slight problem when refilling. We have since found the perfect filling and the best way to cut it to make it work consistently well. If anyone is having problems please email me john@intellicig.com and I will make sure it is rectified. The fitting is a very precise affair as even 1 thou can make a difference and also the liquid can cause it to stick in the mouthpiece, requiring a gentle prod with a paper clip or pin. We believe we have now got the best (simplest!) shape as it works so well and holds around 0.4ml.
Cheers
John

Oh wow the old ones were much different. Interesting to see.
I agree about the new carts working well with stock filler though. They are the only ones I use any filler on instead of dripping.

Wow @ some of those suites John. Looks like a nice place. lol @ the Austin Powers suite
wow thanks for the pics guys i have both the old ones but not that new brown one. hopefully i get to order some soon. leaking is a major issue with mine i always have to find a tissue and roll the corners and stick em in the little whole at the end to absorb any liquids there. such a hassle. i love my evo tho the leaking is annoying.
i tried the tea bag mod, bleh.... didint work so well ill just stick to the stock filler.

I came across some long lost old intellicig carts yesterday and the difference in how hard you have to draw compared to the new ones is so marked I don't think I'll even be bother vaping them. Your R&D are to be congratulated John. Funny enough, my wife was speaking to a new start at her work and she mentioned the e-cig and the boy was saying he had tried one a while back but chucked it because it was too hard a draw.
i got use to the harder draw n i dont mind it. my friend just got one with the new style carts and its sooo easy to draw but the cart comes out too easily. its all good i dont mind it.
btw, anyone have any success with different fillers?
