Does any one know if this BFD will work with a sidesho cart?

I don't have a sidesho so I can't say for sure but I don't see why not. I use it with my 510 and my M401. I have both the regular and the XL carts for the M401 and have made it for each. I also have made it for some EVO carts. (You do need to fiddle with the dimensions a bit for each of these.)

:)

am i correct in saying you just put 10 to 12 drops in your cart and this mod with no other poly fill?

i'm using a BE-112 right now with poly and the original straw mod and sometimes i flood the atty.....seems like my DIY liquid doesn't soak far enough.

this mod with the straw and aquariam foam kinda seems to be the same exact thing except the straw is in the center of the cart and not off to the side.

Thanks for your response. Am I correct in assuming that the entire BFD has to be inside the the tube in the cart? I think the cart is simular to the 401. I am fairly new to this but I am loving it. If you have any idea how long it should be I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks

I don't know how long your cart is or how far down the cart the atomizer bridge extends when attached. The key is to have the bridge (the mesh part that sits above the heating element) contacting the foam and compressing it slightly. You'll have to experiment. Yes the entire dart sits inside the cart. On a 510 you want the top of the foam about 2mm below the top of the cart.

This is a completely different concept. There is no juice inside the stirrer. For what ever reason it seems to empty the cart whereas when I've used regular straws, it seems to always leave juice in the bottom of the straw.

Post this in the new members form and you will get more answers than you can deal with. Maybe not this time on the day but probably.

Thank you so much for your help. I will work with it later today. Another question where do you feel is the best place to purchase e juice. I know that is off the topic here, but I was just wondering.

Well, as you surely know there are so many opinions on this. For me, I go with NHalers HV and Halo. Nhaler for a flavoful billowing cloud of vapor and Halo for taste and throat hit that is as close to an analog as I've come. I don't care for the Dekang (Chinese) juice. It's too perfumey and inconsistent. Just try to buy sample sized bottles and you'll find something you like.

OK...trying this mod now.

I am definitely getting a TON of vape. A little leakage so far...I guess I can work on that by making the foam a little thicker.

But two things I'm having problems with...

(1) The first 2 or 3 drags are great...great flavor...great throat hit. But after about 3 drags, I lose the good flavor and I'm tasting plastic (using the blue Marineland foam).

(2) After the first 2 or 3 drags, I'm losing throat hit

Still getting a ton of vape though...

What could be causing this?

Are you using a 510?
What voltage are you using?
When you put the dart in is it even or just below the top of the cart?
I have never tasted plastic.

Yes, I'm using the 510.

I use whatever the stock voltage is (I don't know a lot about this stuff). I guess 3.7v?

I'd say the top of the dart is just about even with the top of the cart.

Well, either it's flowing too fast or not enough. Since you mentioned a little leakage I'd assume that there is a bit of flooding. Usually flooding causes reduced vapor though. When you pull off the cart does the foam look wet or dry?
