Liquid Questions

So how many cartridges can you refill using a 10ml bottle??
just trying to get an estimate on how many I should buy....

I'm going to ask more specifically... how many 901 and peewee cartridges would a 10ml bottle fill?

[Frankie]

My guess is around 30 for 901 which takes around 7 if it is in good condition (1 ml being 21 drops in average - my tries varied from 20-23). But this might vary with degrading quality of the filling which lets you drop less drops in one cartridge over time. It also means *full* cartidges, but when filling after use, a third (or so) of the cart is still soaked and you only add the remaining two thirds.

I believe the real indicator is how many ml you use up in one day - not in how many refillings. For most people it is 1-2 ml.

depends on what device you use texas - the pen-style takes 1 ml per cart; the 'big' mini's 0.4 to 0.5; the mini's on average around 0.2 to 0.3 (but there are even 0.1's around...). Cigars take around 1 ml too; pipes 2 to 2.5 ml per cart.

jim check the cap sometimes the droppers gets stuck in the cap.

Jim, I have also received some in which the dropper was stuck in the lid, but after pulling it out and firmly putting it into the bottle until it is seated, it does not seem to be problem from that point on.

I have also saved all my empty little dropper bottles, the brown ones in my case, from some sample packs, cleaned them out and reused them to carry smaller amounts of liquid on the go. The little small eye droppers make great droppers as when you drip just that little extra too much and the cart is just about to overflow when held up, you can just touch the dropper to it and suck up the excess. It works great and really seems to fill carts well. I love those little bottles, wish I could get more of them.. I think they are about 1 or 2 ml bottles.

I think someone might have posted about using new inkjet cartridge refill syringes (not sure if the tips are sharp)

That was me

And to answer the question - no, this type of syringe is not in any way sharp/dangerous at all. It's a thickish metal needle with a perfectly flat tip - and the cylinder holds 10ml. On its side is written "Braun Omnifix™", and was included in the "JetTek" brand kit.

It's really ideal for all kinds of e-cig related tasks, where liquids need to be shuffled around.

Although personally, I don't use a syringe for anything related to filling up cartridges. I'm a dripper, way more convenient.

For those of you interested in cheap small vials with droppers, it might be a good time to repost this:

Really Cool Bottles for Juice and a Few FREE

Looks like the 2 sample ones are still available for free (go to the faq section for details)...and I have found this company great to do business with.

thank you sachico, i had already found it...i went to suck out with syringe, and was baffled, there was a dropper on it, lol. anyway, it keeps getting pulled off into the top, and need plyers to pull it out, any suggestions to get it to stay on the bottle?

[Myk]

Since puresmoker is out of syringes with which to fill/refill carts, do you guys know where else we can buy the type of syringes people use to e-drip? Also, do these syringes have actual metal needles (such as those used in giving shots or drawing blood), or are they a different sort?

Check a local farm supply. They are the sharp ones for injecting animals.

[NotYingYang]

For Sachiko and Superstack:

Can you guys provide some websites where I could find the perfume/cosmetic bottle syringes and for the inkjet refill syringes?

Thanks!

This is not for loading carts, but for removing the remaining juice.

I've purchased this from my local Walgreen's (Drug Store).

I use it to squeeze the remaining juice out of used carts and then I have an empty juice bottle that I squeez the juice into.

I keep the used carts separate so I don't mix my menthol and RY4 (although, it's not a bad combo). Then depending on my "inventory", I either throw the "squeezed carts" out or wash and dry them to use again. I just drip (4-5) directly to the cart from the bottle.

Just have to have a steady hand to fill the empty bottle and don't put too much cart material in the barrel to squeeze juice out. (More effective with 3-4 than to stuff it full.)
