Memory foam?

[surbitonPete]

Ok so because I don't like the possibility that threads of the polyester type cart material might be able to get melted onto the atomizer coil...I am experimenting with different cart materials....and today it's the turn of Memory foam!

The idea being that there are no threads in foam ....and I thought Memory foam with it's desire to always maintain it's shape may make it keep in far better contact with the wire mesh bridge.
So I cut and shaped a piece to just fit nicely without being squashed into my pen-style atomizer cart, at first I had to make the foam suck up some juice because it won't easily absorb into the foam until it's actually wet and once it's wet it will absorb extra drips of juice quite easily. I am finding that if I want to vape all the time I do need to keep adding a couple of drips but if I only have a few mins vape and then a break it seems to give the foam enough time to wick some more juice to the front of the foam and hence onto the metal mesh...so it doesn't need topping up.

So far the foam is working pretty good but as usual only time will tell!

Interesting, Pete! I love all of your experiments Where did you by memory foam? Did you buy the whole damn mattress or just picking yours apart?

I think you're moving into dangerous territory using foam. Foam is usually treated with flame ......ant chemicals. May be harmful if inhaled 8-o

That could be a good point.....I washed the foam well and hopefully those chemicals are 'fixed' into the foam material and cannot leach out into the juice.

Organic sea foam is still on the list!! I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the real thing though.

I am getting quite excited about this memory foam as a cart filling.....at first I have to keep on adding extra drops because it seems to take a while to fully absorb the juice..but once it is finally full it seems to wick the juice onto the atomizer mesh at just the right speed for the way I vape....there doesn't seem to be any excess juice running down the side of my cart when I take it out. ......it's showing promise.

Why don't you just dip it into the juice bottle until its saturated instead of dripping juice into it?

You crack me up, Pete!!!

Here in my country it's easy to find it at "baby" shops, inbetween the biberons, plastic bites, pacifiers... that kind of stuff. I think the idea behind it it's to wash your toddler the "natural" way. Give it a shot, but i personally think that sea sponge will retain the liquid too much.

I don't know about the memory foam, but 100% polyester sponges are everywhere. They hold 20+ times their weight. I have wanted to try one for some time now, but have been using poly batting.

Has anyone tried a polyester sponge?

I have a wonderful vision of you next sneaking into a Tempur-pedic showroom & stealthily cutting into a demo mattress to see if the name brand works better

 

[DaveyRoots]

tempur pedic will send you a free sample roughly the size of a deck of cards if you contact them. but i dont know if the stuff is safe

the best I have found so far is
a slice of the polyester scrubbers for dishes,
the ones that are like a small sheet about
4 inchess wide and 6 inches long and just 1/4 inch thick.

I just cut a thin slice off the end
and stuck it in the cart, trimmed it off
filled it up and it vaped great.......
my new cart filler.....

If he does lets hope he doesnt use one of those crazy imitators, you gotta beware of those, they call em shammy cloths but really they are just imitators of shamwow, they dont have the patentened german technology.

If you call or email tempurpedic and ask for one of the information packs it comes with a sample of the memory foam. http://www.tempurpedic.com/promos/free_information_kit/

But if I were you I would at least soak the foam in rubbing alcohol and then let it sit in some boiling water before you go and potentially inhale dangerous chemicals. I don't even know if the alcohol and boiling water would even do anything, but it's better then doing nothing. I would call them and ask if their foam is treated with any chemicals.
