I was gonna pick up some blue foam today, but the pet store was closed and Wal-Mart doesn't carry it. I picked up a scotch-brite pad at Wal Mart, but it's very dense, leaks, and gives a weird taste to the vapor. Better luck tomorrow, I hope.
Some of those Scotch Brite pads have chemicals in them. Be careful. Somewhere on one of Kristin's posts she discuss which pads to use if you go that route. Hopefully you can find the blue foam cuz I know you'll be happy! ;)

Can anyone tell me if this works on an 801 or 4072 cart? I just ordered some and was wondering.
Here is your answer. I tried it and it works.
DSE801

I got lucky on the first try. Cut a strip 18mm wide by 36mm long and folded in half. Tapered the sides while folded and inserted half way into a 3.5mm straw about 20mm long. Getting about 30 drops total. Hasn't leaked except when I left the foam stick out to far. That's also happened with my 901 dart.


Thank you. My straw was too long. And my foam was too wide. I learned the hard way that the foam when folded is very squirmy.
I did notice that however that the cart is only 28mm deep (it could be that I just have some freak carts) so a 36mm of foam is a bit overkill but when trimmed it does leave a nice little tip to the dart.
It works beautifully!:thumbs:

OK, so I realize that I just started this and I have read through a lot of the cartridge mods and I just don't get it. I'm new to this, so bear with me. My e-cig is in three pieces, battery, atomizer and cart. If I drip liquid in the cartridge first won't it pass through the small hole I suck through? I'm really feeling foolish here, so........

The unit I have (V5 with J109 on the battery) has pre-filled cartridges which show a foil cap which gets punctured when you push it on by the "bridge" of the atomizer. What's keeping it from draining through the mouth piece hole? Then again, they all came pretty dried out, so perhaps that explains something! I did put some liquid drops in the mouth piece and one on the atomizer and the whole thing worked (yeah!), but the first time I got a mouthful of juice. To be honest, the second time as well, until I started limiting the drops to two or three!

When using the straw, does it go in the cart. first or does it go in so as to be close to the atomizer?

Any help would be appreciated, I'm slowly getting the hang of navigating the forum, but it seems (so far) that each question that gets answered raises two more I need to research. BTW, how do you get the summaries of how many days vaping, cigs not smoked and $ saved?

I'm not sure but I believe that the model you have is the same as Smoking Everywhere's model. If that's the case I have no idea how this mod would apply to it. I'm just not familiar with it. Sorry, but maybe someone else knows this model better.

ok, so i gave it a shot with my 510.

made 1 exactly to specs in first post. it works but not much better than the standard filling. i dont get what everyone is raving about.

How exactly is it not performing for you? Is it emptying the cart? I've never seen regular filling actually vape until dry so I'm assuming that that is the case?

i realized the difference today. i noticed while at school today that i only had to refill once and i did it without a toothpick.

plus i had an atty die on me so maybe it was in its death throughs and making my vaping not as great while i was testing out the BFD
