I got my first e-cig today! Joye 510

[southwestern vapor]

Yeah I've done the spring mod, and it works great. Did it both with poly fill and the blue foam plug. The only reason I'm not using it now was because of some discussion of the galvanizing material flaking off, and of the metal underneath rusting.

Thanks for the heads up Matt. I'll hold off on the spring mod until we figure out if the cheap pen springs are safe or not. Anyone know if medical grade stainless steel springs exist?

I'm using the ZFM mod (zero-filler mod) with excellent results. You need a drinking straw, a cart cap (sometimes called a cart condom) and an xacto knife. Perfect vapor for a long time, although refilling is best with a syringe, so there is an inconventience, but one can make and fill several carts to use throughout the day.

I will try this mod as well when my syringe arrives (on order).

BTW, love the avatar. I restore vintage audio electronics as a hobby, and spin vinyl often. I particularly like the late '50s and early '60s tube gear. I am guessing the avatar is a Pioneer from the mid 70s, maybe Sansui. Fun stuff!

Ding Ding! We have a winner! Yes that is my Pioneer SX-750 Receiver I beleive from 1976. I love tubes too. Kurt check your PM's.

I don't know what constitutes medical grade, but 316 is food grade from what I understand.
I use 302 because the 316 is far more expensive, but you can get either of them here...

Thanks DC2 I'm pretty sure 316 is what I was thinking of. 316 is the same stuff that is used for body piercing jewelery so it should be plenty safe.
