Just got 510 and doing something wrong...

[kerrie]

I am only putting 5 or 6 drops of liquid in a clean cart and filler but am getting a mouthful of liquid on every draw- someone out there set me straight please! What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Its probably an indication your putting too much liquid in the cart. I know that when I refill the cart, I can only put in about 3 drops before it starts to pool.

Thats my 2 cents

Try dripping right on top of the wick aswell.

I carry tissues and always soak off any excessive liquid from the top of the cart. You are flooding the atty and 510s are notorious for this. When this happens, unscrew the atty and blow through the cart into a tissue. Then plug the end of the atty with a finger and blow again to clean out the little vent hole. Good as new.

That's just sad. Depending on the drop size I can get between 15 and 25 drops into an empty 901 cartridge (which is what I use on my 510), and I know that I could get almost that much into my 510 carts.

I use the original poly filling... but I also use the "straw mod". That simply works the best for me.

An alternative is to just suck the "pool" back up into your e-liquid bottle. Saves juice and you don't have to carry a tissue!

Thanks everyone! I will try all suggestions- glad to know it isn't just me........

After you blow the atty out, gently wipe the inside rim also. Another thing - make sure you aren't drawing too hard on it in the first place. If you're hearing a gurgling sound, you probably are flooded, though.

[kerrie]

yep, heard the gurgle so it was flooded- thanks

Seriously, check out the "straw modification" for your carts. You won 't believe the difference it makes! I could never get more than 2-3 drops after the atty started to dry out. Once I did the straw mod, it takes longer between topping off and I put in 8-10 drops topping off now! (Basically, a refill - no more topping off needed!)

It's really easy to do - just cut a coffee stir/straw to just under the length of the inside of the cart. Cut one end on the diagonal, cut off a little off the filler (you won't need as much now) put the straw in angle side down, put the filler in next to it (it should sit lower than the straw) and fill it up with liquid! (There's a bunch of videos on how to do it, too.)

I don't need to top off or drip anymore!

You could also try the Lipton Pyramid Tea bag modification, too.
