I keep my 510 vertical in my pocket all day (pen clip). So that's really the acid test for me. For a cart mod to "work" for me, it can't flood the atty.. even if it is left vertical (cartridge up) for hours on end.
BTW.... I've carried a Cross pen for many, many years. The tip was just about perfect for punching the hole in the membrane. I was able to view the membrane stretching over the bridge and the hole sitting on the tip of the bridge via the opening in the mouthpiece end of my experimental cart. Yeah... shoulda taken a picture.

When I'm not using my 510 I keep it vertical in a half glass so it doesn't leak. Since I do this with most of my other e-cigs it really isn't an issue for me. Otherwise I remove the cart and cap it off until I'm ready to use it again. I made the hole a bit big so I could get enough vapor for it to give a monster vape, but not flood. It's a 1-1.5mm width and 3 mm length. Works perfect for my flat tip cart.
I'm usually sitting in my comfy chair, working on my laptop and vaping with my USB passthrough, so I just tuck it (mouthpiece down) between the cushion and the arm! LOL!
All day long, my 510 is sitting on my desk with a pilot pen cap covering the LED. I've always been the type to chew on the end of a pen, so nobody is the wiser.
Blahh blahh we all know your using the @#$% out of this mod right now and love it to death its ok if you want to come out of the closet..
Speaking of dorks, I may be the biggest one here.
I've tried 3 times and I cannot get this to work. 15mm straw, 17mm straw... + cut into the center, etc. Either I get no juice at all (my throat burns from all the dry hits) or a total flood. I cannot imagine what I'm doing wrong.
I followed the instructions to the letter...

Like I said in my earlier post:

You can pull the cart off (if you don't like the flavor) and toss it on your passenger car seat and it won't leak (unlike any other mods and stock carts I've tried).
But... this mod doesn't work (for me) on my small 401's. For that I use the straw/scotch-brite combo, or a blue foam plug.
Both of those need a tap now and then to keep the juice flowing. If I cut down on the blue foam or other filler any more than I have, it leaks all over the place. Though, I'm a light vaper so the juice is in my carts a longer time than most.
Oh, and I always clean all of the atty's, used carts, PCC's and batteries that I use during the week every Friday while watching the tube.
I don't like flavors, germs or crap like that to buildup.
I wasn't saying your mod is no longer useful. I was just remarking that this is not even remotely the shower head as you were suggesting.
The thinking and execution of this mod is sound.

Follow to the para... essay?
hehee
KIDDDING! It took me the 1st try. And the second, and both were not even close to perfect, but they worked as proof of concept. (REAL, REAL SLOW LEAKERS.)

if your using the X cut then the only way it can really leak is if the corners are lifting up folding in on itself when the bridge hits the center... make sure the plug is tight...
If you have a leak or too big a hole (in the silicone plug), try sticking a small piece of the blue foam in the hole. Just leave a little foam sticking out on both sides of the hole. That way you don't have to throw away the "leaky" silicone plug!
OK Scottbee!! I think you are on to somthing the molded plug looks good other then being silicone calk and not being able to vape it.. heres a run down with pictures..
cut cart in half filled with stuff
Let the silicone cure for a bit and placed a peice of sandwich bag sprayed with cooking spray over the top
Stamp the atty down over the mold and pulled it off and let it dry..
after drying I pushed it out.. came out easy..

FYI: Opinions vary regarding silicone RTV... but for the most part my favorite stuff to work with is GE Silicone II.... 100% silicone rubber (clear).
RTV is just to bad ... for vaping, Im sure that stuff has cryptonite in it Im just going to try 100% clear silicone rubber when I get off the counch and go to lowes..
Btw it dose look like a tooth lol..
I have a question.. what's the purpose of the straw inside the cart? Is it to keep the plug from going down to far? If so... would the paperclip work better by taking up less juice space?
yes it is to stop the plug from going down.. I think a paper clip would allow the plug to rock around to much... it really needs support going around the cart..
