blank cartomizers, best way to fill?

[emberl]

Can you fill them and then use them right away?
Or fill them the night before and let the juice sink in overnight?

Does it make a difference?

Is it a good idea to fill 5 at the same time and use them as needed?

Funny I was just wondering the same thing and also how to fill them properly.
I watched this and it was helpful, he says you can use them right away.

Thanks for that.
But that's how to refill a used cartomizer.

A blank cartomizer has never had juice in it, so it's a little different.

I'm also wondering how many drops of juice is the right amount, not too many, not too few.

I think it does make a difference if the cart has had juice before. I have filled both used and new carts. With new carts, they readily take 30 drops without needing to be spun, were as used carts seem to loss their ability to suck juice up easily. Require the help of some centrifugal force to take a max of 20 drops.

As for vaping them right away, new carts I tend to let set for at least a few hours after filling to allow the juice to saturate the wick. With used carts, I assume there is still juice in them and the wick should already be saturated. So I have vaped them right after a refill. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Landy.
Do you leave the little plastic piece inside the cart when you refill?
It would help I suppose to not leak the liquid on the other end.

leave the plug in and cap on the battery end, i consider this a must. with the cap on, it allows you to set the cart down without it tiping over.

How many drops are you guys getting in a blank cart?

You can get up to 30 drops in there but you really shouldn't. Half the time you'll just wind up overfilling and needing to blow out the excess.

I fill mine with about 18-20 drops and then get the carto started. After a few minutes I add a few drops to the battery end and keep topping off that way through out the day.

Be careful if you drip into the battery end if you're using Auto batteries though. Maybe let them sit on your desk a minute (battery end up) before screwing them back on and using them again.

Thank you for your help, I have managed to fill two of them without flooding!

The fluid I put in the blanks also produces more vapor than the prefilled cartos, which is great!

This seems to be most useful as well. A (little!) long, but well worth the read.
