Where in FL will you be?
A bit out of season for "snowbirds', lol.
You can stop at any WalMart store here in FL and do like I did, get a bag of poly fill that will last you, oh I don't know....maybe a few years for $2.99 USD.

BTW, bring your summer clothes, it's been like a steam bath every day in my area.

Dollar General face scrubbers 2/$1. Works great and cheap too you don't have to figure out where to store a bag of Polyfil. I live in a tiny mobile no space to store stuff. Just cut the puff all up into the size you need and put into ziploc and pull out when you need one. It seems to be the same material that Blu uses in their carts.

Don't know where you'll be at, but if it was a residence of some sort I could mail a big honking handfull of fill so that it was there waiting for you.
If feasible let me know and I could get it out tommorrow.

Haha! And so it begins; PTB, Blue Foam, straws and darts and plugs and Zero Filler Mods, and a partridge in a pear tree... :D
Come on - you can't deny that polyfil is the worst out of all of them?

I've tried just about everything, so I kind of know what I'm talking about at least. ;)

All fillers have their drawbacks, so in the absence of ditching the filler and getting a drip tip, you want one that is easy to make and maintain, cost effective and that works 95% of the time. I wouldn't have posted that link if I didn't believe in it! :thumbs:

Hey, don't get the wrong idea, Kristen! I didn't mean to be critical of your post, but I can see how easily it could be read that way. It's just that the discovery of cart mods, and the beginning of the "search for the perfect filler" is so familiar (we've all been there), that I got a chuckle out of it. :D

Very true, and....My way IS best. lol

It seems there's a new type of polyfil in the mega eGo attys. (and cartoz). I'm liking it alot. Not as stringy and stiffer and so far hasn't gotten caught in the bridge. I'm using a straw mod with it and it's working well. Also have a blue foam plug going. PBT doesn't work on the big ones that well - leaks, although with the new 1.5ml ones for the cone/atty, PBT works well. Just got one of those today and tried a few things ;-)

I'm Using the simple PTB mod and it is SOOOO easy and works great

Assuming you mean with the mega eGo cart... you should contact Vicky at cignot - she's been struggling with it. There's so many types of PBT mods. I use the one with the top fold and there was simply so much ejuice in there that it ran out. Perhaps the old double fold (not just the top fold where the center is almost all open) would work better.
 
I vote for the blue foam. You can get it any Petsmart or Petco. You need Marineland Brand, size U. It is inexpensive and will last forever. You can wash the blue foam and reuse it too. I also find that I get a better vaping experience with blue foam. But, everyone likes something different...

I use the blue foam plug with the vent straw mod on 80% of my pv's. I still have some of the new filler on the mega eGo carts and PBT on the newer cone/atty cart right now. But blue foam with the straw mod where you don't have to remove the plug works best for me. 1/4 inch of plug and the rest is ejuice. Good for 30-45 minutes on a regular 510/901 cart.
