I really do not see that as a good idea. could be deadly to a battery with the liquid go in or out of the battery connect end , especially to an auto battery . But just to give you a little more credit than being quickly judgmental . does the battery end stay wet when you are done filling the cart ? also I was told it was a bad thing for liquid to go into the center hole (the hole running through the coil) . Am i wrong on that ? I have noticed if any liquid gets in the battery that it reduces vapor production and cleaning the black gunk out is quite a pain . have you had any problems with batteries by filling your carts that way ? not really trying to knock your method but more of living and learning what works and what doesn't

I have had no problems yet... I am new to cartos though, so time will tell.
It is defiantly a good idea to dry the battery threads well before screwing back in and give it a blow to make sure there is no liquid build up that could potentialy drip into the battery.
I just line up my 12 caps, fill them all up, push the cartos into the liquid, put the bottom caps on and go out. Takes about one minute to do all 12. The threaded-side cap has the 'stem' bit that pushes in and would clear any lingering potential drips. But so far I have not seen any excess drip from the cart either before or after both caps are removed.
When I am at home I refuel them exactly like in the vid... fill-push-remove-wipe-vape.
Easy!

will do,
I just deliberately over-filled a few carts to test the drip factor, and I could shake/flick the cart to make a drop come out, so I just blew in the atty end so the excess came out of the top.
If you push down slowly and carefully you can stop as soon as the liquid shows at the top.... that way it wont spill down into the atty threads.
So I guess it is a better idea to insert the mouth end in the liquid, that way when you pull the cap off the suction will draw any excess away from the atty end, instead of towards it.
and probably giving it a slight blow through from the threaded end before screwing it on will ensure it is good to go.
Good luck.

Dude, that is a really good trick. Potentally a bit messy till you get the hang of it, but a good refilling technique all the same. Thanks for sharing. I'll give this method a try.

Just tried this....using the mouth end of a cart that wasn't quite empty and only about half the amount of juice. Works for me....wish I had known before I had the hub pick up syringes at Tractor Supply.

Initial efforts seem pretty cool. Used the mouthpiece-end method and it just sucked it right in. I combined it with a "thermometer shake" (and a Taryn carto spin on a 2nd one) to evenly distribute the juice into the filler and so far vaping great.
Thanks for the tip!

No probs, glad it works for you too.
Once you do it this way a couple of times, you get the feel for how much liquid the carto will take, I stop as soon as I detect slight vapor drop, then refill with about 1/3-1/2 of a capfull. A new carto should take about 2/3-1 capfull. (the first one in the vid was a top-up, the second was a new empty carto.)
Also I am using 100%VG in the vid, the first time I tried it using 100%PG it took a whole capfull and a little bit more!
When I am using cartos I am on the run and have my PCC with me, so I take the empty one off, remove the cap of the new one and squirt some liquid in it then push the old cart into it, cap the other end and put it in the PCC. This way it has time to soak in, and both spare carts are always topped off ready to go.
Lets call it the "CCFM" -Carto Cap Filler Method.
This was just a quick vid to see if anyone else had a how-to of this way, I might make a better quality one that is clearer, quicker and more precise.

Thats a great name. I tried this today and it worked like a charm. I also showed everyone on live video chat at Nu-Vapor.com and they all started doing it. I think you've hit on the easiest way to fill a carto yet. Good work bro.
