| I've been dripping pretty much exclusively for almost 3 months. I don't like wasting juice in carts that never drain. I have tried all the cart mods, except for one I saw the other day...some kind of reticulated plastic fish aquarium filter stuff that was blue in color...sounds promising IDK...
BUT, recently I had a 510 atty started producing the dreaded "Burnt Plastic Washbucket" flavor and could not defeat it no matter what I did, cleaning with all different stuff, troll hair removal, etc., and was going to toss it.
Then I had the bright Idea that a wet atty is a happy atty...wonder where I got that from... and just stuffed some fluval around the atty bridge. It's like mostly covered except for the tip of the bridge sticking up.
Well it works freaking great!!! NO MORE BURNT TASTE!!!
5 drops and no problems, vapes big for an hour, you gotta try this if you drip, amazing.
Vape on

| Like the idea, might keep the atty wet  without the gurgle sound.
When I drip the fluid seems to flood the heater and won't produce vapor.
Poor technique here, just not practiced at it.
The area around the atty bridge seems like a really great place to put a pseudo filler for drippers. Plan on changing it out often or just cleaning it?
Ingenious
I wonder if some material could be "hole punched" to fit. Like maybe make up a few thousand with a 3 hole punch in a few minutes.

| look, 084 attys come with a fiber material inside the bridge that like "sucks" the juice to the atomizer. i was cleaning some 84 attys and i removed that material... done! now those attys just don't work anymore and i need to drip, otherwise get burnt taste.
Lazarus, i got your idea, but i don't know what fluval means... what is that? | |

| You can use the poly fill that comes in the cart, I guess. I did not try that, had some aquarium filter laying around and used it. The fluval is a little more stiff with bigger air pockets and doesn't compress as much as the poly.

| Nice discovery Lazarus. As a dripper I have ran into the same issues. I'll check into this "fluzal" stuff.
Also I know what your talking about Tandera. I was cleaning one of my 510 attys a few days ago and got hold of some fiber. I managed to get it all out of the atty and found the heating coil was quite bright when switched. Yeh, I ruined it. Felt a bit idiotic about the atty dissection, since it was my only 510 atty I had at the moment. Learn something new every day! | |

Lazarus, i got your idea, but i don't know what fluval means... what is that? | Now this was interesing. I got an 084 from "Smoke Assassin", but they come with 0 nic carts. After about 40 puffs (with 20-40 mins between 10-15 puffs) I started getting the burnt taste, and the vape was weak.
I looked at this post, took one of the carts, and took some of the batting out. They come with 3-4 batts per cart, so I removed one and stuck it in the atty (there was NOTHING in the 'bridge).
HOLY COW! What a difference! Even without the nic and havein 'tobacco' flavor, the thing started vaping incredibly, lots of vapor, and the taste was incredible. Just like a real cig.
Now, I'm wondering (other than possibly wetting the battery) if this could do any damage to the atty, and I also have ordered some tobacco flavored juice from VT Vapor. I am guessing one or two drops on the batting in the atty, ad 4-5 drops in the cart should give a decent vaping experience. Any advice/hints? | |

| The 084 has an exposed atty, so all bets are off on this application. I can see how it might work, but you have to make sure the atty or the battery is sealed.
I had a 084 some months ago and don't remember if either is sealed to prevent leakage into the batt electronics. I used to dip instead of dripping on to my 084 and 401 (also has an exposed atty). I used a contact lens case with juice in it and dipped the bridge in the juice. Worked pretty well as I recall.
This application should work with dipping on an exposed bridge, but I have not tested it.
Best regards, and keep on vapin'

I wish there were a glossary around here! PG (I understan) VG (veggie glycerin?)
Dip (er, dip the atty in juice?) Drip (drip the juice on the atty?) PCC...worse than the Computer industry!!
It is not sealed, so I can imagine one would have to be careful!
Is the batting supposed to touch the atty? On my 084 the cart goes way up in the holder tip, and the vape is light. Putting that piece of batting under the bridge helped that 10x. | |

| My cheap little camera does not have macro, so I'll try and explain it better. Cut a piece of fluval about 1/8" - 3/16" square by 1/2" - 3/4" long. Lightly stuff it around the atty bridge so that the top of the bridge is still exposed. You now should be able to drip up to 4 drops without flooding the atty and toke for like an hour. Remember to remove the filler from the cart, and you should be good to go.

| Fluval also makes an excellent replacement filler for the carts as well. I believe it to work just as well if not better than the PTB mod. I'm not real big on the 510 though so it's not my primary I don't fiddle with it much. I prefer my GreenCig by a mile, I am still vaping on a cart I put on this morning it is now 1:00 am the next day. | |

| Maybe not a dripper's dream, but great for dipping.
Take your 510 and get one of these 808A/B Model Atomizer
Attach it to your 510 8.5mm battery and dip away!
Anyone who says the 510 has a harsh taste should try this. This smooths everything right out and really lets the flavor of the liquid come through. The throat hit is a little light, but if your looking for flavor, this is absolutely fantastic. A tip of the hat to LeCig for turning me on to this combination! Fits like a glove, and looks cooler IMHO than the three piece standard 510.
Check your battery size. I have the 8.5 mm battery threads, and it fits perfectly.
This is a lot what I was looking for from an e-cig! | |
