I'm a little confused. Wouldn't a tighter draw from the atty help pull more juice from the VM or am I missing something?
The Vape Mate "Auto" Feed?

knowing forcefuel I bet he has plans for an adjustable draw for his 4 in 1 cap.... I wonder when the 4 in 1 cap is going to be ready?
the more air you create in the suction effect then their will be a stronger vacuums created in the tube which in return gives you a better flow of ejuice.... think of it like a vacuums cleaner... when the hose leading up to the bag or container is clogged with carpet and dust, what happens to the suction from the vacuum? it gets reduced and there will be dust and crap left behind after the vacuum cleaner goes over that area of the floor... then the end result causes the motor to get hot and then will burn out in a shorter time then what it should, which is always a good idea to check your hoses ever 2 to 3 months or when ever you start noticing stuff is getting left behind... this could also be a from the the bag or chamber being full. lol...... jeesh sorry for the babble lol.
Anyway what I was trying to say is the more more suction you have the better the results.....

Yep, that is what I am thinking grimmer. Not with the vacuum cleaner but with the atty that is...lol... I have yet to get it working that well again. I have tried new atties even. It must have just been one of those good days ya know...?
Keith, I just purchased the vapemate due to your discovery!! That and MWA and Harpo giving the vapemate their two thumbs up!! Thanks fellas!!
I really, really, LOVE mine too.....the only problem is I'm "sucking" the life out of my batteries, it's really hard to put down ! LOL
Just returned home and my tubing (ebay link posted earlier) was waiting for me. Cut to fit, bottom has an angled cut at about 45 degrees and is working like a charm.
I am laughing at myself because I am having to watch myself in a mirror to get a feel for how much is being passed through with each pull. LOLOL

LOL Tina, I've been doing the same thing, standing in front of the mirror trying to see how much juice is being pulled while I'm taking a toot.
I got my tubing from Ace Hardware today. I got some 1/4 inch tubing for my 10ml bottles and some 3/16 inch tubing for the 6ml bottles. A total of three feet was less than a dollar. You are right, it does work like a charm. I think that everyone who owns a VM needs to do this.
With my 6ml bottles I did something similar to what was shown here at post #555 http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...g/132729-vapemate-juice-feeder-supert-56.html except I cut off the tip completely flush with the cap and was able to feed the 3/16 inch tube all the way through the top cap. That way it reaches all the way from the bottom of the 6ml bottle, it goes through the top of the bottle and penetrates the opening of the VM. I cut the tube at a 45 degree angle on both ends. It works awesome!
Hey that might be the ticket there vapor... take the dropper part out of the equation. Will have to try that when I get some more tubing. I only had a little tiny piece that came with my UMP. So are you getting it to auto feed with that set up?
HzG8, so that tubing fits pretty good then? I'm gonna order some now.

Well, yes and no. It's not consistent. It depends on how much air is in the juice channel of the VM and the tube. As you know, when you squeeze the bottle and let go, juice gets pulled back and brings pockets of air with it. Whatever juice is in the top part of the VM gets sucked into the atty when I'm taking a drag but I'm having a hard time getting past the air pockets in the tube without squeezing it. Any suggestions?
What about taking a quick primer hit when you see air in the channel?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried that as well but gravity seems to be doing its thing no matter what. I wish there was a tiny little one way "door" on the hole where juice enters the atty, that way the juice could come out but the air couldn't come back in...
Yea the thing is that the air has to replace the juice in the bottle for any more juice to come out. You get a vacuum in the bottle and its hard to get juice out without squeezing the bottle. I still can't seem to figure out how it was working so well for me the other day. Heck it could be something like the thickness of my juice. hmmmm.. will have to try some pure PG next.
C'mon ForcedFuel!
You're a car guy..... think, think, think, think.... ;-)
As I've mentioned in other threads and spelled out kinda clearly in my "Dream PV's" posts..... we need to get away from trying to build a "primer" and start working on a carburetor!!! Or.. a fuel injection system if you really know what the heck you're doing.
Took me FOREVER to get it right on the Super TorneGo II........ but I know you have the skills and background to do this. You're already pretty close.

I've got to try this. Remember, an unexpected accidental bonus is called a feature. Now sell the same tube and atomizers with it as a kit.

speaking of attys, does anyone know where 2.1 to no more than 2.2 Ohm 510s are available?
other than LR ikenvape? (they are LR and i am looking for what would be, i guess, a reg. 510 but on the low range).

Standard 510 atties are 2.1-2.3 ohm. You can get those anywhere. Iken's LR510s are 2.0 which is very close to a standard 510 atty...
