2 Vids, Refilling the GreenCig cart and after filling results.

[Snarkyone]

OK as promised I have shot a couple of quick and dirty videos on how to refill the GreenCig carts very easily and with no mess, I didn't even have to wash my hands because I didn't get a single drop on them while refilling, can anyone say that with the 3pc models? Anyway here we go, the first one is the refilling process and the second video is about 10 minutes after refilling so you can see the results. Normally I let these sit for a couple of hours at least before firing them up in order to let the liquid really soak into the filler. Hope this clears up some pre conceived notions that it can't be easily refilled. You show me one that is easier or cleaner to refill. One little hint I failed to mention and I apologize for that is to gently blow from the atomizer end where you just had the needle to clear out any excess juice if you are going to vape it right away, otherwise it's a shot in the mouth.

I hate to double post but I hope that videos are ok in this section, I didn't want to put it in the video review since it's technically not a review. Let me know if anyone has any questions or if they would like to see how to do a KR808D-1 refill I will be happy to shoot that as well.

Does the needle reach the filling? or is this just a cleaner way to drip the battery end??

[Snarkyone]

If you want a longer needle it's easily available, I can't say for sure if it reaches into the filling or inner cart but I can say that it don't get liquid all over the place and has been very effective and nice and clean for me. The needle cost $1 so it won't cost a lot to give it a try. I think it's the best method myself, I took one apart and I can't get the thing to work now, I have not had a single one fail after filling it this way.

I have failed "filling from the top" after cart removal. No vapor, maybe i flooded it or pushed it down too far or not far enough. Seemed simple when i read about it...Also tried syringe from the top method, made a mess, probably went too fast!

Seems simpler just to drip them i think.

Thanks for this Snarky. What size needle are you using?

[Snarkyone]

Jessa, I asked her for the largest that they had and I don't think she understood me! It says on the package that it is a 1cc 30ga x 5/16" in length. On that information I would believe it to be equivalent to 30 gauge wire? I really don't know more than that, it's damn thin and really really sharp, lol! As you can see it is really easy and mess free. I works great for me I have not had a problem yet doing it this way but I have destroyed a cart taking it apart and now it wont vape at all, it has no air flow period it is like sucking on a tube that is closed on one end, no air flow at all. Did you change avatars since yesterday? I thought your old one was a cute pic of you.

No way is dripping into that hole simpler, I tried that at first and it is a big waste of juice. When you say from the top do you mean the metal end with the atomizer that connects to the battery or the top plastic bit that you insert into your mouth to puff? I can see why it would fail trying to fill it from the plastic end since as you are aware, the cart with the filling and juice is actually face down towards the battery and atomizer, trying to fill it from the plastic end is not the right way at all. I think that perhaps when you tried it like you said you may have flooded it, or it could just may have been one of the occasional bad carts, it's hard to say without being there or having experienced it myself. One other method that is promising is to use a flavor injector instead of a hypo needle, that might be a better way simply because the needle is bigger allowing for better flow through the needle. I have heard of a person that poked a hole in the inner cart and used that hole to fill the cartridge, I have not tried it yet, I have a limited number of carts at the moment.

Sorry..I meant i popped off the mouthpiece and pulled out the cart that holds the filling. Dripped 15 or so drops the reinserted. I went wrong somewhere. Maybe i did'nt position it correctly.

I also poked a hole in the cart and filled with syringe. I believe i stuck syringe in too far and flooded it that time also. I am, as you can probably tell, unmechanical!!!

Ill get it eventually. The 510 Joye, thats another story....

Ok - hubby actually went to the store for me to get VG & a needle. He's coming around...haha.

Wow! What brought about the change in his attitude, did you tell him that the topic was not open for discussion anymore and that the best thing he can do is just STFU and go along? Maybe he read the post where I called you sweetie and it scared him a little, lol!
