    Default Problems with syringe refill

    Well tried refilling my own cartridges instead of topping off and dripping yesterday. Had a real metal syringe, sucked up 10 drops worth of juice. When I insert the needle, even on the very side, it always pushes down the filter material. Squishes it. Can't get the needle down to the bottom without squishing, and I know thats impeding the vaporization quality. Anyone got any tips? I've watched the video 5 times now, still can't do it the way she does.
    E-cigs..... how bout them apples Marlboro?

    Try putting the needle tip to the side of the cartridge stuffing instead of down the middle... The needle isn't so good at piercing the cartridge stuffing but if you can work it down next to a fold or in between the stuffing and the cartridge edge, you can get it down to the bottom.

    Hope that helps!

    I brought home a syringe from the veterinary office yesterday and filled 10 carts with no problem. Your needle gauge might be too large. Try a thinner one.

    Thanks for the replys yall. Ritalle, thats the first thing I tried was going down the side, didn't work. Maybe my syringes are too big, they were used as spore syringes before this. I'm also thinking that the filler is too compressed or squished together to, maybe its not absorbing the liquid as well. I need an in-person demonstration, I might ask one of the Maryland people on here for an in person demo!

    The filler is pretty versatile. You can take it all out, reinsert it, pull it out a little and fluff it, etc. It's easier with tweezers (or something like that) but you can do things to it if you need to.
