Reservoir Mod needs your help!

[callousparade]

Hey all i've been trying various ways of getting this idea to work, no success yet so i thought that I'd see if anyone else could get it to work.

I have a dse103, so the atty isn't inside of a metal tube, just kinda sticking out like so

i don't know what other types of pvs have a similar attys and i dunno if this mod would work for an inclosed atty.

anyway, to the mod part. i've been calling it the reservoir mod and the pick is below.

Basically, i fill the cart with juice. attach the cloth to the top so it soaks up liquid and wicks to the atty. on the bottom i drilled a very small hole and covered it with hot glue, making a self sealing injection site for more liquid.

so the idea, obviously, is that you can hold a lot more liquid in the cart but it still works the same way, wicking off of polyester onto the atty.

the problem i have is how to attach the cloth, i've tried tiny metal wire just holding it on the top edges but that takes up too much room and you cant draw air around the cart... any suggestions?

what about instead of polyester fiber, cut about 1/4 of an inch of an analog filter and use it as a type of cork that wicks.

I read on another thread that the engineers were looking into the same idea. They were considering a plug as suggested by the last poster. It just needs to dense enough to keep the fluid from running out to freely. The plug could be glued in place and then you could use a syringe to fill the cart.

I just thought of the same idea for my dse 901 a few hours ago. I was trying the same thing. I was using the pyramid tea bag stuff but double layering it. I filled the cart and held the liner over it and shook; the stuff won't leak. It's awsome!! But alas I don't know how to get it on there either.

One side note though. I don't think it would be necessary at all to fill it with a syringe or an alternate hole, or by removing the liner. Just press the dripper nozzle right up against the liner and squeeze; it should go right in. You just have to break the surface tension of the liquid by giving it more force.

It might not leak upside down, but it will sideways.

i'm not really good at this kind of stuff but have been searching all these cart mod threads.. would this work with the cloth say, attached with a little o-ring, on the flat tip carts? I prefer them anyways as i can hold it in my teeth.. I may have to try this..

i too have been thinking about how to get the most liquid in the cart as possible and have tried a few plug mods. I have been using a cross between a shredded PTB and PTB plug mod. The great thing about the PTB material is that it almost takes up no space. I dont know how. I fill the cart to almost the top and then put the material in and it just soaks up the liquid without much displacement. The even better news is that the material will 'give up' the liquid easily. Unlike cotton or the stock filler that seem to try to keep the juice the PTB works very well for our purposes, I feel.
The only issue I have had with PTB is some designs left me with a bad taste in my mouth, literally with e-juice. If you take a half PTB roll it and cut it, it leaks on me. But what I am using now does not do this. I am still testing but it is working great so far.

Its easy to make. Easy to fill. Easy to remove and refill. Attempts to get the most liquid in the cart as possible without allowing leaking. Attempts to keep constant contact between the PTB material (that has liquid) with the atomizer bridge. And I really dont think that I am sacrificing more than a drop or two of ejuice.

hmm. i will try it. I hate refilling the carts constantly. I have never seen this brand of tea everyone is talking about. maybe publix has it. thanks!

Try this:

Lipton PTB Locator

Try Wal-Mart or Target. Not every individual store carries it but most of them do.
It is worth the effort to find them, these Pyramid Tea Bags have improved the quality of my vaping experience beyond all expectation. They really are THAT good. I've had to adapt Rho's technique to fit my larger carts, but even my failures were better performers than the stock spun poly filler. I think the different configurations of the basic PTB mod probably reflects the different vaping styles, but the material itself is damn near perfect. It's like a micro fine mesh that holds the liquid but still allows for capillary action. The material itself is mostly empty holes. Simply amazing! Just have to play with packing density to adjust rate of flow to match rate of use, otherwise you flood the atty. Mad Science Rocks! If anything can make a reservoir viable it's bound to be the PTB's. Maybe you should look into fuel cells and see how what they are doing could relate to our applications?
