Blue foam from James

[Stan]

Ordered some blue foam from James recently - just got around to trying it out.

Being a bit of a cynic... I wasn't expecting it to be a lot different to the standard stuff supplied in carts - how wrong could I be !

This stuff is great - it seems to wick much better so seems to last about 3 or 4 times longer in between topping up.

I've been struggling with carts lately so had resorted to a drip-tip (which I don't really like) - but now back on the carts and vaping like a trooper !!

Just one question - how do others use it? - initially I cut a piece twice as long as the cart length, and folded it. That didn't seem to work so well, now I just have a single piece about the same size as the original filler.

hi stan i have just sent for some of this foam...thanks for the tip on how to cut it

Stan, I cut a piece of foam just over half the size of the cart & lilttle less than the width.

I find this works just as well as cutting a piece the full length of the cart.

I don't even bother with the white stuff that already comes with the empty cart. I bin that and use a fresh piece of the blue foam.

hi stan,
im not sure if james is precut im guessing not.
i have precut but i trim a 1/4 of one side, i find then that its not too packed and runs freely.
i would say 8mm wide and 10mm long/deep (into the bottom of the filter).
i find it best never too overfill ie: dont let it pool on the top, if it does either lightly dab the top with loo roll (wasted juice) or just give it a tweak with the pointed tweezers, it will soak down then.
if it floods a bit, ie: dont seem to be firing well pull off the cart and have one or two puffs without the cart, that cures it normally.

ive never thought of shortening the foam, makes sense, as you cant imo really fill it right up without flooding the atty.

I know exactly what you mean, Stan I couldn't get on with refilling carts so I was a committed dripper, until I discovered blue foam (on someone else's recommendation, of course ).

I overstuffed my carts until I found that "less is more", sorta
