You tried plain blue foam? The blue foam should be very slightly wider than the juice cup (just a smidge for a tiny juice cup) and I cut them about 3/4 the inner length and a bit tapered on the inner end. You need to keep it at the top of the juice cup - if it won't hold itself up there, make it a bit wider. A full fill with blue foam is remove the blue foam, fill the juice cup 1/2 way (2/3 if you are daring), stick the blue foam in and push it down into the juice to wet it. Reposition at the top edge of the juice cup, then top off with 1-3 drops (whatever it needs to look just damp on top, not a puddle).
And if you have carts that push on over your atty, do not use the atty to push the juice cup back in - especially if it is a pointy atty. The atty will just shove the stuffing down too far into the cart. You need to get the juice cup back into the mouthpiece WITHOUT pushing on the stuffing.
What ecig are you using?

Vaping too fast? Try giving it a bit of time in between puffs. I can get 3 or so, then need to let it have time to wick more juice.
I started with the PTB /Straw method and had OK luck. Recently tossed all those and now to the Blue Foarm or BF Dart. Seems to work better/wick faster than the tea bags.

My first e-cig (ego), I used carts for the first day only. I was getting burnt taste so quick, I just couldn't take it. I switched to dripping, and then discovered cartos. Now I use only cartos, which will give me an hour or two of vaping without any burnt taste. And as long as I remember to periodically top it off, I never have to experience that nasty burnt taste.
I had the exact same experience, but following dormouse's suggestion I got the blue foam and started cutting my own fillers. After a few mistakes, I figured out almost exactly as described above and my carts are working much better. I can full one up and not worry about having to refill again for an hour of serious vaping. Just keep at it until you get the shape just right. I was thinking it might be nice if somebody with more computer skills than me could create a printable page with a template for the perfect blue foam pieces.
I use blue foam in my little M401 and my Joye 306 cart I use on the 510+306 .I mostly vape cartos instead but blue foam made my carts better.
ive used the blue foam and i still get that burnt taste after a couple of drags, but i have noticed at the end of my carts that go into the atomizer its starting to melt a bit so im pretty sure thats whats causing that burnt taste, ive tried adjusting it but iis still burning, what can i do? does anyone sell metal carts?
Try lining up the atomizer bridge /\ and the juice cup if it's a 510

Or buy cartomizers? That would eliminate the atomizer totally. I like the Boge soft-cap ones for 510 and some like the SLB ones but they have an inner seal you also need to pop out also when filling. 510 needs to use the standard resistance ones, and Ego/Riva can use those or the LR (low resistance) ones. You need to fill a carto totally to start then wait (I lay it on different sides) to make totally sure every bit of stuffing is damp so you don't singe and ruin it. After that, just keep it damp and you can get 4-7 days use out of a carto. Some are successful with cleaning and drying them after that and some toss them. You can use a 510 plastic or delrin drip tip instead of the soft white end cap - easier to pull the drip tip out to add juice (soft cap removal needs something like an unbent paper clip stuck in the mouth hole just enough to pop out the cap).

1 second the cartomizer suggestion. I think once someone tries those out, carts become a thing of the past.
I say drippidy drip drip drip all the way if you want the best flavor and every vape to be the same, for as much time as it takes people to play with carts I can drip and be much happier
Dripping is nice at home. When I'm on the road I prefer cartos. I use the Boge LRs and the clearos. Both hold a lot of juice and are fairly inexpensive, a pack of 5 for about the price of 1 atty.
I recently bought a pack of 801 cartos (and a 510>801 adapter). The 801's are a bit tighter draw, but they seem to hold more juice and provide a better vapor IMHO. After I filled one, it definitely went quite a bit longer without refilling then a 510 carto. Now I get to see how long they last.
