Simple and effective way to boost cart performace.

[rlorange]

Just discovered a brilliant and simple cartridge mod for my new pen-style.

I got thinking that the cart was poorly deluvering the liquid to the wick even when nearly full and decided to find out why.

My conclusion was that the absorbant wool was only making contact with the tip of the wick which in a pen-style atomizer protrudes quite far and pushes the wool down into the cart, once the cart is used past this point of contact a bit then delivery is very slow.

So... I pulled out the wool part way out of the cart and then cut out a groove in the center to fit the wick, then pushed it back in flush level with the edge so it was no longer pushed down. Now the wick is surrounded by the wool all over and so there is maximum contact with the wool and liquid.

The result? Bloody amazing. It works nearly as well as dripping without the hassle. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

That's interesting. When you have been vaping for a while do you get any problems with melting cart fibre/burnt fibre taste?

lol..i do the same thing.

i make a hole in the center of the wool too with a straightened out paper clip

 

[2kool2]

That's a great idea ! Got to try this now..

 

[rejoice]

So you saying,poke a hole in the center of the wool. Rlorange said,cut out a groove. The same thing?

i take a straightened paperclip and swirl a hole in the middle of the wool..getting a bit wider everytime till its about the size of the wick of the atomizer

look inside the atomizer so you can determine the size

oooo i will try it cos my 901 gives out a funny taste now and then even though the cart is virtually full ... hmmmmmm ...

 

[chuckie]

Thanks Rlorange for the great tip
it seemed to help a small amount on the 801 but it REALLY pumped up the 901
Thanks again
Chuck

sorry rlorange i got the post confused at first i credited pipeman

 

[rlorange]

Glad it helped even more with your 901. I am getting the new EM901 from EastMall soon which takes big 1ml carts anybody try this?

I tried the other suggestion digging a hole in the centre all the way down and this works just as well possibly better so thanks everyone for brainstorming on this one.

Just tried an additional mod: I melted a tiny hole on the outside of the cart near the bottom (closed end fitting into the mouthpiece). T

he idea is to allow air to seem in because as the liquid is wicked out of the cart through the wool it needs to be replaced by air. So the wait time between sessions for the liquid to wick out of the cart is partly improved by a tiny hole which allows air in behind the liquid relieving the vacuum created as it is drawn out to feed the atomizer.

Liquid slowly oozes out of the hole just after topping up but seems fine once loaded up, no liquid in the mouth

Not sure but I think it has helped, hard to tell which one is working best beacuse I'm using both mod together.

Note: I think this work especially well in Super Mini carts which are much narrower so this pressure is higher, someone test it out

 

[DaveyRoots]

thats kinda a cool idea, I usually drip but have been thinking to switch back cause atomizers definatly die faster...

 

[rlorange]

My little hole mod to let air behind the juice at the bottom of the cart as it is wicked out from the top is working a treat.

When I pull off the mouthpiece The top of the wool is noticably wet with juice while there is a growing airspace at the bottom as it is used. Half empty as still vaping like its full!

The vapour recovers to max again within 20 seconds after it drops during a vaping session.

This mod may prove to be an atomizer saver as it is never running dry now nor being drowned with dripping

 

[chief druid]

oops just made a massive hole at the bottom of the cart lol .....not getting any juice in my mouth ... that doesnt seem to be an issue with 901's

 

[rlorange]

Ha ha. How did you make the hole? I used a pin heated over the gas cooker. melted it in

 

[chief druid]

used my pen knife lol ... i wouldnt reccomend it though .. you eventually have juice coming out of it

 

[jamie]

cut out a groove in the center to fit the wick

Wow. I've examined my wick and my cart and considered every implement in my house and can't figure out how you did that.

 

[Rickgren]

Any pics of where the hole goes?
thanks

 

[chokmah]

I am lost too.. From what I see with the penstyle atomizer the wick is under the metal thing near where it connects to the battery. The filler is up near the mouth piece.. I dont see how making a hole would help or if I did how I would do it with a filler full or empty.

 

[Banqer]

Has anyone ever tried filling their cart up almost full and then just placing a fabric plug on the end, so that the first little bit of the cart is packed with fabric? I would imagine this would work better than having a wick going all the way down the cart.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Sorry for reposting but for those that have done this already, can one explain how this can be done with a RN4072 penstyle atomizer?

Thanks again..
