The spring mod

[TheVapSter]

i tried this spring mod in my 510 but no luck because the spring doesnt fit in the cart because the sides are flat-like maybe if i find a smaller spring out of five pens that was the smallest so am not sure if this will work with 510 any ideas

ok, now I'm using a ink cartrage filler needle to reload so I dont have to remove the spring to get juice under the filler material...still good and it holds a lot of juice, it crossed my mind to add the filler vent tube to the mix but I fear the juice will pour down/out the vent tube and flood the atty...

 

[sattec]

I think the big story here is the spring heats up and keeps everything flowing towards the atty..a preheater effect which helps the juice "run"

 

[sattec]

this is a great mod, mod of the year..... IMO

this is a great mod, mod of the year..... IMO

I guess the trade off is a 25% reduction in juice capacity?
1.1ml ,20 drops or more depending on the juice and dropper VS 15 drops in a pen style (801 / 112).

I'll stick to a home stuffed cart with a straw mod or a stock blank and keep the maximum load of 1.1 ml.

If the spring is stainless steel it's probably not doing much since stainless is a poor heat conductor. That's why straight stainless cookware is terrible unless it's copper or aluminum clad so heat conducts evenly.

actually the first filler piece had some drops already in it...it prolly does hold 20 drops dry...
my spring is hot,not warm, especially near the atty...I'm seeing great flow and long lasting on juice = more hits per reload....I still think it's a great mod.....plus my filler doesn't slide down onto the atty, I've had my vent tube slide down when I'm very active, no vent tube now. i've had a filler stick to the atty and stay there when I pulled the cart out...this seems to prevent that..

does anyony know if this will work with 510 i think the carts too small any ideas

 

[sattec]

I good way to squeeze out the juice left over in a filler is to put the filler material into a syringe and squeeze the juice out...works great! Squeeze the juice back into a bottle so you can reuse it...

I'm using black 901 carts in my 510, some work some don't due to size. Saves on buying both types and the spring works in them.

Does not work well with a janty stick
tried all sorts of spring configs.

 

[sattec]

still "springing" it, it works for the 801 cart very well, imo. I thread a filler up thru the inside of the spring then wrap two fillers around the spring near the hot end...so the last half of spring is wrapped in filler....plenty of wicking going on for me! Plus my wick doesn't stick to the atty!...the spring is touching the atty, transferring heat up into the filler....

Gonna give this one a go. The spring from the pen I chose is slightly larger than the one in the pic (I think), and it fits down in my 801 cart pretty good, perhaps 1mm from the top of the cart. Wrapped the polyester batting around it, but didn't see any filling in the middle of the spring (I was thinking this may be a good thing?).

Either way, I tried it that way and it seemed to work fine, then I thought it may help wicking a little more to stuff a small stripe of polyester down in the middle of the spring. Going to see how much juice I can get out of this cart. Even with the straw mod I was finding the bottom part of my cart still saturated. Goal here is not perfection, but improvement

I have some old leftover packs of Eclipse (the >cough< healthier cig). The filters are short, dense and have this nifty hole up the center. I stuff them in my 510 carts and have been getting a huge throat hit, lots of vapor and they absorb tons of juice.

I realize nobody wants to have to buy cigarettes to make their e-cig work, but they are a great design to work with my 510.

I'm gone...no more "springing", I'm a "teabagger" now....I think its better than the spring mod....combine the teabag filler with the spring mod somebody....

 

[TBCVAMP]

Ok Teabag are very nice. They will keep alot of you jucie tho if you do not do this mod right. For Me the Best way on the teabag mod for the 510 is make your roll but do not fold to 2 pecies. just one then cut then put on more roll in side of the 1st one this is like haveing holes on the side of the teabag rolls. I am haven VERY good luck with it like this. Hope this helps

i found this to work really well when i wrapped the original wool around the spring and it keeps it nice and firm with the atomizer. its a shame the chinese cant take all these ideas combine them and design something a heck of a lot better.

 

[marcus49ath]

I'm very glad that you all liked it . I'm using it for over 3 months now with my 510 with no problems replacing the cartridge filling every 2 -3 weeks.
I have noticed that all the cartridges are not the same, some are more narrow to fit the spring and others have the right dimensions and they are from the same manufacturer, strange.

 

[K_to_the_L]

i was forced to crush the bottom of the spring ( rather then cut it ) to make it fit. i cant find any more pens right now for further experimentation but i really think this is part of the perfect cart if they ever come up with one. i want to find a way to use the spring with tea bag mod but so far nothing

 

[sunray73]

Is no one worried about the toxicity this might cause if it does touch the atomizer?

 

[Territoo]

I've tried the spring mod with mixed results. I get to vape for a long time, but have a slightly burnt taste w/ this mod. I've tried fiber fill, coffee filters, and teabag paper. I got best results w/ the teabag filter, but I still have this burnt taste.

Any suggestions?
