Stainless steel 901 Cart mod

[Brew]

Credit for the refined stainless steel and form method version goes to Scubabatdan of ECF who has also given his written permission to copy the photos, and steps here.

1. This mod is to replace the polyfill used in factory carts.
2. It almost doubles the juice storage space.
3. It cools the bridge material slightly giving a better flavor profile.

Per Dan:
Ok I love this mod, I tried the rose, and Y type and did not have much luck, so I tried a formed version with a dimple, it worked perfectly. Form fitted to a 901 cart and I can put it in any direction no worry about lining up the Y slot. Well here is what I did:

I got about 5 pipe screen kits, that came with 5 SS screens, 3 large and two smaller ones, I decided on the larger ones to try this with. I first took a 901 cart and cut it in half:


I then formed the two screens on a pen top to get the form:


Next I used a smaller mechanical pencil to push the screen in from the cut side of the 901 cart, continually forming and pushing as I went:


Almost in!!!



Flip side all the way in and flattened:


Now I flipped it over and pushed with the mechanical pencil to form the dimple, I found that if I pushed this way it would bottom out on the table and I could get a good dimple in it for the atty to rest against:


Here is the formed screen, not how to get into the cart as it will fight me the whole way as the scree edges are frayed and will catch:


Easy push it back into the cut 901 cart and use you fingers to taper the end that will go into the cart:


Now gently insert it into the cart and ensure the edges do not get caught, keep rotating it until it starts to go in:



Now seat it flush and use an old atty and seat it the rest of the way:


To fill, tap it so the screen comes back to the top a little and angle it at a 45 degree angle, then drip into one side and the air comes out the other. When refilling it, blow on the screen so you force the liquid that has collected back into the cart so air can get out.
TADA!
Done.

I theory this should work with any cart, just cut an old one in half and use it to form the screen. I have made 5 so far with this teqnique use in the same cut 901 cart as the former.

Hope this helps, and thanks for this awesome idea!
It vapes like a workhorse now without any burnt taste and no leaks!
I Love it!

Going to follow up with my results after a while.

I used this mod on both the 901 and 801 carts.

1. Three screens made filling hard so I dropped to two screens.
2. You fill the cart full of juice and when its tastes dry, you vaped all the juice.
3. I use one of the pocket dental toothpicks from the grocery to remove screens etc.

It works fine and I probably get a couple hrs out of a 901 that would be dry in 30 min. Now the 801 cart mod was done exactly as the instructions show with a double screen, and its a vaping monster. It jumps back and forth between a nomad and a lob 808 batt and does wonders at 3.7. Soft hits and no where near as harsh as the 510.

510 is the next mod. just ran out of screens and time.
