Carto tank version 1. Also fondly known as the ghetto tank..an inverted 3 - 5ml bottle of juice.

This was a HUGE step up from dripping which was a HUGE step up from Pyramid tea-bag mods etc etc.

Nice thread!

I remember in 2009 buying an ecig and having all those disgusting carts that leaked everywhere. I was on this forum trying to figure stuff out and it was just too much. I went back to smoking because I kept getting sick from the e-cig (so I thought). Now I am doing great with my MVP and evods etc. SOOOOO much better now. I figured out why I kept getting sick too, VG sensitivity. Anything over 20VG I'm sick. I didn't know that back then and kept using VG exclusively. I'm so impressed with how far we've come and how now I am a non smoker. I love technology. (I remember those dang pyramid tea bags too):oops:

Sometime will somebody *please* put me out of my misery and explain what a tea bag had to do with vaping?! :unsure: The mind boggles... TIA

The bag itself was used instead of the filler inside 510 cartridges. The factory filler never lasted very long so the tea bags were used.

    Are you sure you really-really want to know :lol:

    We would take the foam out of the cart, and then fold up an empty Lipton tea bag to use as the filler in the cart.

    So ya see ..... it really was all about the price of tea in China.

    All you people with the weanie 510 and 901s, the carts only held like .5 or .6 ml, I got a DSE801 because the carts held a whole 1.2ml. With my 801 I didn't have to mod my carts and MY batt was a whole 320mAh compared to the 510 and 901 at 280mAh.My first mod was a Janty Stick, then a Prodigy (WOW 5V) and then a Silver Bullet, all with a 801 connection. Now I'm sitting here with a mech mod that has an 18650, 3400mAh in it with a 5ml carto tank on top, boy things sure got easier.

    BTW HB, I still have and cherish your 'copper' BP! Just can't let dat puppy go...

    Iffy, that was Mike's personal mod he used all the time. I'm glad it's it good hands because you just don't see them there beasts now-a-days.

    Yeppers, the straw mod. Clipped a piece of stirring straw and slid it up the side of the filler so no air pocket would form to stop the juice from dropping down. I never got it to work right...LOL.

    I remember when logging on to ECF, the 'users online' in the New Members forum averaged about 50. Now it's well over 100 most of the time.

    I remember making a drip tip by drilling out a 510 cart (drip tips were a bit spendy for me back then).

    I remember making a lanyard for my Riva, fashioned from the middle finger of an old pair of leather gloves.

    I remember Old Goat Box Mods.

    Here is a picture of my 510 cartridge with TWO springs in it for a hardcore spring mod...

    The springs "rested" on the little ledge inside the 510 cartridge.
    The you would place just a small piece of polyfil or blue foam on top of the springs.

    Other people were using one spring from a pen, but I went out and found these tiny springs on the interweb.
    I then proceeded to use this modification for about one week before trying something else.
    :laugh:

    It seemed as soon as one new modification surfaced and we tried it, usually within a week, there was a newer "more improved" modification that flooded the forum, (or the device you were using the new modification on)!!!
