FLUVAL Cart Filler - NO leaks - Instructions with Pictures

[SuZamme]

I got tired of dealing with juice leaks. This is the system I came up with that has worked super for me for months now.

Note: I have several PVs going at a time to give the juice a chance to wick to the atty. Using this Fluval cart fill technique, no leaks, great flavor, hours of vaping pleasure.


Step One:
I peel a "slab" of Fluval off one of the chunks...the thickness of a cart narrow wise (1/4+ inch).

Step Two:
Cut a piece in a triangle with the widest part a little wider than the cart longwise (1/2+ inch). The other 2 sides are long tapers down to about a point (1 1/4 inch for regular cart and 1 3/4 inch for mega carts).
It is important to cut the triangle as an Isosceles triangle and not as a scalene triangle.

Step Three:
Take the pointed part about 3/4's of the length and twirl it to make a long point.

Step Four:
Snip an 1/8 of an inch off the bottom tip to make it flat.

Step Five:
Here are the standard cart and 510 mega cart Fluval fillers ready to go.

Fill cart to almost top (on a 510 mega cart it takes 21 drops). Stuff Fluval into cart as far as it will go and pretty fast. All the juice is absorbed.

Step Six:
Trim off little hairs and excess, if any, that is sticking above cart top so it is flat.

Step Seven:
Add a couple more drops e-juice and put the cart on atty and vape away.

The Re-Fill:
Whenever you want to re-fill it, pull Fluval out with tweezers and add juice (I add 16 drops to mega cart and 6-8 to regular cart) until it is 3/4's full. Put Fluval back in quickly and top off with a couple more or so drops until just starts to pool. You can also just add a few drops without pulling Fluval out for a quick vape.
Here is what Fluval looked like when I pulled it out of cart. I was not getting full flavor and vapor and since batt was still good, it was time for a Fluval re-fill.

To illustrate just how well the juice flows using this Fluval method, notice that on the paper there is only a spot of juice from the filler and it was all concentrated at the top.

When it's done right, takes a minute or so and lasts for quite awhile with excellent taste, vapor, and NO leaking with eGo standing upright, even all night because quite often I fill them so they are ready to go in the morning.
I also carry them in the eGo case, in my pocket, and momentarily laying down on desk at work.

I have a bunch of little triangles cut and ready to go as I like to change them out fresh every 2-3 days when they stop letting the juice flow smoothly. I have washed them and used them again but it is much easier to just start fresh each time.

In Conclusion:
I’m glad I changed to using Fluval. NO leaks, long vaping, and very even juice flow.

I hope this helps other vapers to eliminate the juice leaking problem and make their vaping sessions have More Flavor and Less Filling!

I added making a little indent in the center of the Fluval and it seems to wrap itself (and the juice) even more nicely around the atty.

What a wonderful, detailed set of instructions. Even I can understand them. Thanks for all the pictures. They help.

Happy Vaping,

Thanks for your feedback.
It took me awhile to put this together and after seeing all the struggles other vapors were having with their carts and fillers, I decided it was time to share this method/material that works so well for me.

Thanks for this mod, it put me on to something that has worked well for me using the mega carts.

 

[SuZamme]

Glad it's working for you, too.
I so enjoy not having to re-fill every 5 minutes and not having that juice leaking problem anymore.

Thanks fo the guidelines, I was wondering why my fluval refilling was not the right way!

Excellent instructions - I have never stuffed a 510 - I have always dripped or attached it to a juice feeder - now I know I have this option too. I think I will give it a try.

 

[SuZamme]

Thanks for your comments. Glad to share what works for me.

It's nice to have options to dripping and juice feeders and still get to use the super long lasting 510 attys/mega attys.

When I'm out and about, I can even put a quick 7-12 drops on Fluval without even pulling it out or fluffing it and am good to go, for awhile longer anyway.

Just a quick THANKS~~ I am bookmarking this so I can refrence it when I am able to find some fluval !

 

[SuZamme]

I found Fluval at my local PetCo in the aquarium supplies section. It is in a bright blue box. They also list it online.
If you don't happen to live near to any pet stores, PM me and I will send you a piece.
Good luck on your quest.
