Silicone ring in 510 cart

[frequentflyer]

Hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere but I can't find it. I have seen this little silicone ring in my 510 cart under the mouth piece. It is nestled inside there and has a hole in the middle. What is its purpose and where/how should it be set? I have noticed mine is sideways sometimes & have been poking it to settle it horizontal to the cart to try & get a good seal but not sure if this is correct.

I think it's supossed to be a sort of overflow protector to keep you from getting a lipfull of e-juice. Doesn't really work worth squat, though - most folks just toss them the first time they refill.

I think the previous reply was referring to a cartomizer, but the same answer also applies to the 510 cartridges. They are meant to provide a barrier to prevent any juice from getting to your mouth. The difference between the 510 and the cartomizer is that nobody really removes them from the 510 cartridges. Heck, hardly anyone probably even knows they are in there.

if you want to get it in straight i've found using a round toothpick through the hole is the easiest way to get it in properly. i had all sorts of probs trying to get it in straight any other way

I tried with them in and out and really didn't notice a difference. It makes sense that it would be there to keep the juice down, although I have to agree it doesn't work all that well. I just set it in straight and as high as it will go with the top on. Thanks for all the help.
