This might sound like a daft question (and probably is), but using the eyedropper that comes with the e-liquid, approximately how many drops would you use to refill a penstyle cartridge, a mini cartridge and a supermini cartridge?

To refill a cartridge on my mini e-cig, I put 3-4 drops into the empty cartridge then SLOWLY push the washed and dried inner material back in place with a pair of eyebrow tweezers. As it goes in, it gradually absorbs the fluid. I then place a few more drops onto the top, about 4-5 I guess, until it becomes saturated.

Penstyle - Atleast 7-8 ... jiggle it around trying to get it to the bottom, then another 1 or 2.
Mini - About 6-7
Super Mini - Never tried.

Thankyou. Cleaned one of the penstyle cartridges and refilled it with Vanilla e-liquid. It doesn't taste so bad now but still has an odd taste to it. I don't get this with my other e-cigs. I tried looking at the atomiser with black light to see if any fibres were stuck on it and can't see anything. What is causing the difference in taste and how can I get rid of it. Otherwise the penstyle is really good. Shame the taste is letting it down. Could it be the filler used in the cartridges? It seems to be quite loose and very fine fibres.

20 drops (roughly) equals 1 milliltre.. a classic cart holds 1 ml... a mini holds .5 ml.. some newer super minies hold errr f-ck all..

i dont refill mine simply top them up and throw them away after a few uses.. how much goes in depends how empty one lets them get.. i keep mine wet.. as little as two or three drops in a mini till no more will go in.. six drops is about as much as u will be able to put in a mini they never fully empty..

trog

ps.. all mine (different types) taste different even when dripped with the same liquid.. it must be the atomizer i have no theories why they should all taste different but the buggers do..

Yep. I have some that are exactly alike. Same company manufactured, same seller. Drip it with the same liquid...damn thing tastes different. I totally hate that. You get a taste you like in one atomizer, then it dies...you don't get it back again in another atomizer.

And I hate the ones that come out of the chute tasting like burnt green beans. Don't tell me I'm the only one it's happened to.

Burnt green beans is probably an accurate description of the taste.
