egoluvr Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Spent all nite testing this out. I am crossing my fingers that this will help those that are struggling. This example uses 510 fittings but would probably work for other models as well just adjust your supplies according to your model. What you will need -other than your e-cig (PV) of course: working 510 standard resistance atty (not tested on LR'S) * drip tip * blue foam filler - your only going to need a tiny square of this - you want it cut to about the size of the opening on your atty (or M&M candy) only square- no need to make it round * your juice of choice * pair of tweezers Directions: * attach the atty to your PV * using the tweezers gently place the square of blue foam directly down on to the bridge(the peice that sticks up) of the atty. * squeeze 3-4 drops of liquid onto the blue foam * pop on your drip tip - and vape TIPS: 1. be gentle on the first draw or two- this way you can avoid taking any liquid into your mouth if you put a little too much on the filler, likewise if it was not enough you can avoid a huge harsh hit if the atty is too dry. 2. to re fill simply place 2-3 thru your drip tip which will work down to the blue foam whenever you start to loose flavor Notes: Awesome flavor and vapor production, hits much more consistently than DD without the foam, better flavor then using carts, chance of flooding the atty greatly reduced. The foam does not burn or stick to the atty after doing this method all night. Flavor changes are simple - use the tweezers to take out the foam -squeeze with a napkin, tissue , or paper towel, replace and do the same process with your new flavor. ***** I sincerly hope this helps someone - if the method your using now is working well no reason to try this, but if your struggling please give it a try and let me know if it worked for you.

marymary Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Oh wow what a great idea! You're so smart Would have never thought to do this. When I was DDing I always had trouble with too much or too little! This could help a lot. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoluvr Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 yup- I liked it so much today i went to work sans carto- I'm still doing it. You will have to play with the drop numbers to get it just right for you so keep that in mind the ones I gave are just estimates but it could vary depnding on the size of bottle and liquid mix etc. Good luck and thank you mary!

kitsune Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Excellent !!! I don't have much problem with dripping anymore, but going to try it any way. Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing that tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripple Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Okay so blue foam made me think about the very funny video Chris posted. So where do you get this blue foam filler? Its the one piece you left out from what I can tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsune Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Few places for blue foam: petsmart carries an aquarium filter material that works great. I believe its marine land. or strictly ejuice carries the blue foam precut, pretty cheap. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshyl Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Good job. Okay Egoluvr, you have really thought about this haven't you? I don't usually use carts, so when I saw this I thought this might be be a great idea to not have to drip so often. Now off for some blue foam, I want to make the vapors.

Emile Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Awesome write up. Now that I'm direct dripping, ive been wondering why nobody recommends using a bit of filler for more consistency. Can I use the filler out of an unused 510 cartridge or do I still need to cut that down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Thank you so much for this info. I don't ever drip, but I'll be sure to try this out. + 1 from me... I hope this helps our friends struggleing right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoluvr Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Kitsune thanks - yes this is where to get hte blue foam, I've had mine for a while got a sheet with a vapor renu order. Emile- I didn't try with a regular cart filler as sometimes it can stick to the bridge of the atty, and it tends to scorch as well. But you could give it a try and let us know. I would recommend cutting as well in a small square about the same size as the opening of the atty. also, be sure to keep it moist, don't know if it will work as well as the foam but might do let us know. If you try this please let us know what you think and feel free to post any additional tips I really hopes this helps some of those having trouble .

egoluvr Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Petsmart, or other pet supplies dept, it's blue foam filler for aquariums, some have the white kind but it's the same thing. someone also posted here in the threads a website you can get it from. just do a google search on it.

Vaponaut Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have been struggling for quite a while with direct dripping and pretty much everything else. I've tried the recommended 510 cartomizers, atty/cartridge combo, atty/drip tip combo and finally atty/cut down empty cartridge combo. I've found all of them inconsistent and very annoying. almost all are good for a few drags and then crap out. I believe this will be the solution for me. I usually do 3 drops and end up getting liquid on my bottom lip and it's even created a burn before. I'm really hoping this helps and is the solution I need for direct dripping. I love the vapor and taste DD provides but the annoyance of minute amounts of hot liquid working their way through a drip tip became to much. I'm heading to the pet store in a few to try this out. Thanks so much for the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoluvr Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm glad its working and I'm sorry If I didn't mention before, but it's best if you wash it with soap and water first, then squeeze it out and use it. But I don't think it will hurt you if you dont, just will taste better if you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nice! I don't have any trouble DDing any more and I don't have any blue foam left or I might give it a try. But that's some very clever troubleshooting there. Great job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for the post Great, let me know how it works out for you, still be careful don't over drip, and if you would like added protection - use a blank cartridge without hte filling instead of a drip tip!!

Vaponaut Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Can anyone confirm what brand/type they are using. I went to Petsmart and got a Fluval foam filter (white). edit: so I got impatient waiting on a response lol. I just tried what I got and it seems to be working very well. 3 drops seems to be working well with the amount of filter I put in. I'm using a short atty so there wasn't much room but it's great so far. Edited March 28, 2011 by Vaponaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michealprater Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 using soft tip cartos, remove the soft tip insert the drip tip in the carto. fill the carto, then drip every couple vapes. Similiar to this method, and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaponaut Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 ok so once again I'm at a loss. I need confirmation on what brand/type of blue filter to get. The stuff I bought isn't working anymore after a couple of sessions of vaping. I do 3 drops and vape until I get an off taste and put 3 more and repeat. I don't think what I bought is thick enough and it's letting too much juice through or something, i dont know. I tried the DT on the cartomizer but it just isn't the same.
