Remove Part of Fiber Filling in Cartridges?

[DocWyatt]

I recently took out the fiber in my 501 cartridge, cut off 1/3 of it, and put it back in. This way I could put more liquid in it, and maybe like the atty/cart combo more.

Is this a good idea? Or will it somehow end up damaging the atty somehow? It seems that they put so much filler in the carts there isn't hardly any room for juice...and primarily why I don't care for the combo.

Thoughts?

Way too new here to offer intelligent advice, but I did read this thread where Highping did the same.....take a look....

I've been doing the following with my eGo's cartridge (which is a 510 cart) and it works better than other things I've tried.

I forgot to say, I didn't buy their foam, I'm using foam I already have.

Ok, cool. I have not really messed with atty's/carts much as they dry out too fast and I got tired of messing with them and immediately switched to cartomizers because of this.

Is the only purpose of the filler to stop liquid from leaking into your mouth? Or is there some other purpose of it?

I guess I should have posted this in the technical section.

Not into your mouth, but into the atty, then running out all over the place. The 510 cart has a small disc under the cap (that can be removed, btw) that keeps liquid from getting into your mouth.

The filler is there to hold the liquid because otherwise, if you filled the cart with just the juice, it would leak out between the battery and atty.

The method I linked makes it so you don't have to refill as often because you're able to put in more liquid than you are with having the cart completely stuffed with filler. Using the foam instead of poly filler works better because the liquid goes through the holes in the foam faster than it does with the poly fill.

Pretty much, and it has to stay in contact with the bridge of the atomizer to allow wicking.

But if you check out this thread, you can read up on a modification which eliminates all filler...

I cut my factory (pre-filled filler) in 1/3 and have been using this method for almost 2 months- works great!!! I just make sure the filler is pretty tight with the top of the cart- so that the juice can not leak out

You have to remember one SMALL thing.... I have difficulty assembling Christmas toys...lol.

The bigger question is why they simply do not make them this way? lol I mean geez...

 

[DocWyatt]

I will say... taking out 1/3 of the filler seems to be a LOT better for me... much more smoke...stronger... I think it just allows a lot more juice to be in the cartridge...

Then again, I may just be desperate as all I left is Dekang...while I wait for some "real" juice to get here...

Not sure which type of blue foam, but you can find anything on this via advanced search...

Here is a thread on my same topic... someone already thought of what I tried...ha ha.

I "thought" of it only about a year later... LOL. I will invent the light bulb next... just hang tight a bit...

I've been using the Highping cart mod for a couple of weeks and I love it! No more wasted juice and now I have double the amount of filler! I've even used it on my Mega carts, although you have to be extra careful or they'll leak everywhere and that's never much fun.

 

[DocWyatt]

It seems to me that a VERY simple solution would be for them to make the carts with a thin piece of filler in the cart and have it attached near the top of the cart on one side...like a hinge... then, just flip it up... fill the cart... and puff. Simple.

 

[Vaping4Sanity]

I've been using this method for my carts for the past several days and it really seems to help. It holds more juice and seems to use all the juice in the cart, and the flavor seems to come through better as well. Way too much filler in the stock carts.

Here is the original thread on the blue foam...

And if you check out this subforum you can find various ways to use the foam...

My experience with that method:
The main problem is "that little piece of filler" slides into the cart as soon as its pushed into the Atty leaving it still in contact with the bridge but with very little pressure. Something is needed inside the cart below the filler to prevent the filler from sliding into the cart. This is where the "ADT" with ballpoint spring method(scottyballs) has "my simple cart mod" beat.

Thats cool... I was just desperate with the Dekang... and had to try something...anything... to get some decent vaping until my other juice arrives... this works not bad... better than it was originally, in my view. Very likely not the best option though, as you just mentioned...

The solution to having it get pushed back in the cart is to simply have a couple of the filler threads hang out of the top of the cart...then when cart is pressed into the atmomizer - it can't move.

I like simplicity...lol.

I hope thats not the Dekang talking.
