When I use a 510 cart on my 901, there is better draw but not as much vapor or flavor. When I plug one of the intake slits of the cart, the draw becomes harder as with a 901 cart, but the flavor and vapor come back up to the levels I prefer (the actual 901 carts have only one intake slit).
Given all the discussion of less flavor on the 510 compared to the 901 that I have read and experienced myself, I immediately tried the cart on my 510 to see if it would increase the flavor, but it didn't improve it much if any. going back and forth with that cart between the DSE901 and 510, I still detected a distinctly more robust flavor when vaping the 901.
So I say this mod is going to be most useful for those wanting to use 510 carts on 901s for whatever reasons.
My method was pretty ad-hoc for accomplishing the mod; it was just a quick experiment. I plugged the hole with a tiny hand-cut triangular piece of clear silicone from a pen grip. If you try it, make sure the wide end of the triangle is big enough that it won't get pulled through the hole by suction.
I used silicone because it is flexible, doesn't degrade over time, has a high melting point, and is not very chemically reactive.
I also recommend you have little fingers and be able to do detail work to accomplish this. That is one tiny little triangle you will have to cut to keep it from interfering with sliding the cart onto the atty. It has to end up at least flush with the inside wall of the atty. It has to be jammed pretty hard down into the slit to completely block it, too.
I would be interested in other vaper's attempts at this, to hear if it improved the flavor for them noticeably as well or not. Also, I'd like to hear of any ideas for easier, less ad-hoc and kludgy ways to block one of the cart intake slits that are relatively safe. I didn't want to use adhesive tape for example because of the possibility of inhaling the chemicals in the adhesive.
Thanks,
Mike
