Aldo's Alternative Cart Filler

[bluecow1980]

found a surgical steel splatter guard. At £65 i'll stick with fluff - I'm sure there are others though lol!

[Scylla]

The stainless steel ones I've seen are £10-20

Get a map tank Aldo, and make attys and carts history.

[Aldo]

now prob with VG whatsoever ian? I am currently saving money to get a mod, so I can't really splash money! I think I'll end up with one of those or the UFS when I get me mod, but till then I have to accept these ideas coming along the way will look for a stainless steel one as it can be washed ove and over again with no degrading whatsoever!

[ian]

Fair play mate,was just thinking that it may harm your health using metal mesh as a filler.

[bluecow1980]

thinking off the top of my head here.....

what about using the mesh from a silicone bakeware splatter guard??

I know breathing in silicone would be a BAD idea, but the bakewear is designed to cope with very high heat???

Or am i talking out of my behind

[Aldo]

and I've just found out it really might ! that's why I will be looking for a stainless steel one to try and reduce the risk while I don't get the tank! but tbh I don't really want to stick with carts
I'm using them atm to avoid problems with the clearos and VG juices, cause I found out they don't wick prop or fast enough!

[ian]

I agree 100%, PG is far better in the clearos and in the map tank.I dont use VG anymore, as it wicks so very poorly,i just stick to 100% PG and add my own flavours.I feel sorry for anyone sensitive to PG, as VG is piss poor IMO.If you like throat hit and good wicking then you cant beat 100% PG IMO.

[Aldo]

well... It deff s*cks at the wicking department ! But I can't stand 100%PG juice, it just doesn't satisfy me ! I need the "deepness" of a good 50/50 mix if you know what I mean (well you probably don't cause you prefer 100PG lool! )

[ian]

I do understand mate,ive used many 50/50 mixes.Oh well,just try a 70/30 and see how it goes.Its all a big experiment until you strike goldwith these tanks, i only get no wicking issues using pure PG mixes.Hmm,in saying all this CE2s have always been famous for poor wicking.

[Scylla]

I dunno, Ian - heating up plastic doesn't sound that good an idea, either

Not as bad as dried leaves tho

[ian]

Heating up plastic ??? anyway Scylla, am i in your bad books with all this eye rolling?lol

[Scylla]

You couldn't be in my bad books (((Ian))), you brighten my days

I was thinking of the plasticky foam/filler that we regularly use. That's got to have a lower burning point than metal, surely ??? But I can see that some metals might react badly with the juice.

Innit awful not being a scientist?

[ian]

Oh i see what you mean,that is a fair point.Tbh i dont think any cart filler has ever been good enough for me.I did prefer using the blue foam over everything else,now i have got 3 tanks to get round the whole filler issue I cant see the need for attys now,i dont miss direct dripping or filling carts one bit.My dad however still loves faffing with carts ???

[Scylla]

Now that I'm using a combo of GotVapes' and your methods of refilling the clearos, I'm happy too, Ian
