Juice feed mod

[Para]

Added to my Mako...juice is fed by drawing on cart so there's no need to pump.

How does it feed itself, an air inlet on the bottle?

A second tube to match the first would really snaz up this application. A double matching tube, one to hold the juice, the other for the device.

Would an upside-down bottle ever work? Most afs I have seen suck up, just wondering if using gravity with a relief valve in the bottle would work, you know, when you suckin the valve would go down letting in the air......sorry

I like what you did here, I think I have to look at cartos again, I do love dripping.......

And Poppa, like your sig.

The air inlet (key is the hole size) in the bottle equalizes the air pressure so the juice pretty much stays where it is. The suction from a draw pulls it into the cart.

Since I know the application works, I'll probably make a long skinny tube/bottle (holding juice) that runs the length of the mod.....blending it in to the overall design.

Lex, clever stuff here, this box we can see the insides. I'm guessing air gets in the bottle in the hole for the tubing itself, just needs to be a little bit really. The slick part is the feeding action by drawing and not getting it in the mouth. Is it a dummy cart or using polyfill? What are you using for that brass fitting, and does it point downwards? Could you put up a pic of the innards of the cart? Not trying to pester, just curious about the details.

This'd be quite nice on a mod that has a tight draw and needs to have the atty backed off a quarter turn or so.

Rip, there are feeders that are fed when upside down, just don't have the tube run down to the bottom of the bottle.

I was looking at this and thinking:
A gutted long/short cartomizer tube with plugs in each end, tube out the top, maybe use electric wire mesh sleeve to attach it.
The pictures got me thinking.

Well good for you. I had tried this with a little pinhole in the top/crown of the bottle. It kinda worked, but I never got it to my liking, and I could no longer pump it if I wanted a solid hit, the hole messed that up. And it seemed to change as the liquid was used.

With one of my top feeders that uses a cap and o-ring seal I put a tiny notch in the top of the bottle. Again it kinda worked but if I tried drawing harder I got liquid in my mouth, Oh well.

Sorry for the delay, I got busy on another mod while the idea was hot in my head.

The fitting starts out as a pressure fitting and I mod it from there. The goal was to have one system that works the same for all juices....thick to thin. By adjusting the hole opening to the fitting different liquids are loaded at the same rate. In the end, I have 3 fittings for thin to thick. When I fill the bottle I use the appropriate fitting for that thickness.

I tap the cart and use blue foam for the filler.....just because I use blue foam a lot. It goes straight in; juice come in the fitting and drops to the foam. I'd cut up a cart but there's really nothing special to see....in fact, the whole system is so simple, there's really nothing more than what you see.

I followed his footsteps and it was very simple. I used thin tubing salvaged from a grill lighter. The key for me was having an airtight seal at the cart end w/o melting or pinching it so I wrapped the tubing in teflon tape. The hole on the top of the cap has plenty of room for air.

I started with a blank cart with a few drops of flavorless and put the tube in a bottle of peach. It took a little while and I could taste the peach and the cart filler is continuously wet just from regular vaping. I have to pretty it up and ruggedize it and put a bottle inside but it works great!

WB- maybe you can put the pinhole near the top of the bottle positioned so you could cover it with your finger when you pump... but if the top feeder work as it should you'll get a solid hit every time w/o having to pump. Maybe try a larger vent than a pinhole too.....

This thin tubing will prolly only work with pg as vg would be too thick but I haven't tried it yet.
