Hello all,

I believe I have come up with a cartomizer mod. Basically I took the cartomizers I already had and gutted them. I discovered they are horizontal coil. What I ended up discovering was that the cartomizer consisted of and inner sort of cotton and then what looks like the polyfiber cotton wrapped on the outside. I took my cartomizers that werent absorbing or getting a slightly burned taste and took the cotton out. I ended up removing the inner cotton and just leaving the poly fiber. Being that the cartomizer has some sort of wick covering the atomizer I knew I didn't need both. I cut the cotton 3/4th's of the way down and used the 1/4 of the poly fiber. I simply rinse off the cotton, dry it on a paper towel, then rinse the cartomizer out. I then roll the polyfiber around the wick and push it all the way down. The fact that it has a lot less cotton means it will take in about 8 drops, but they seem to go a long way and when you get low on vapor, fill it up again. Ive noticed then when it starts to burn again, I cut away the burn or use another poly from another cartomizer and rinse out everything again and it vapes like new! I have been stretching the cartomizers life to about 2 weeks but since i have so many cartomizers I have been using the same 5 for over a month and a half. I will post pictures later if anyone is interested :) (I believe these cartomizers are called horizontal coil or botton coil being that they arent vertical going through the whole cartomizer) Please comment on your opinions on the matter :)

Pictures are below :D hope you all like the mod :) I haven't seen this mod anywhere else so I hope to call it 'Twisted's Cartomizer Mod' XD Pardon my excitement but this is my first mod

I believe I have heard of that before. I would be interested if someone was to create a triple or quad coil cart or atomizer I think it would be overpowering but worth a try.

LOL yes it would probably have ALOT of resistance but hey might be a better vape all together :)

I tried dripping with the cartomizers but it only held 3 drops and being that I like cartomizers to hold more I figured I would continue with the cotton. I ended up with a semi drip cartomizer but it provides a better hit do to more liquid being on the atty(I presume). The less cotton allows it to be absorbed all the way down so you down burn it as easily. with this mod I was able to keep refilling for much longer than the original cartomizers :) The cotton is always wet and now can be washed and put back to taste cleaner.

How'd you get the cotton out without shredding the wire that runs up thru it?

I slipped the bobby pin between the cartomizer shell and the cotton. I then dragged it around the cartomizer to help it slide. Then I hit it against the table (no joke) and usually have something like a paper towel to absorb the shock. The cotton will rise near the top. Dont grab the whole thing with the pliers, but grab the cotton on the side. and you should be able to pull the cotton out. Also know the atty is on the bottom and not in the middle of the cartomizer.

That little sleeve you removed is in there to help prevent the filler from burning. It protects the coil.

As I stated above, there is already protection around the atomizer in the cartomizer, the long tube that remained in there at which I can just throw the other one away. I haven't had trouble with this mod. Being that I cut it so short, the liquid soaks all the way to the bottom and lessens the chance of a burn, just gotta fill more XD
