My refilling Technique BLOOG/LTV-9/SMOKE 51/EAZE MAG

[LucKyPunk]

I have had pretty good luck with the following protocol. I'm using a Bloog (e-cig.com) model but this should work with other models YMMV

1. remove rubber cap from mouth end of atomizer

2. Place atomizer on flat surface battery end up (mouth side down)

3. place one drop at a time on the metal connector directly over the air hole.

4. fluid will drip down through air hole. Repeat step three UNTIL you notice fluid takes a long time to drip down. then stop

5. Replace rubber mouth cap, and using a Kleenex or paper towel blow through battery end allowing paper to absorb extra fluid at mouth end.

6. Wipe any fluid from Battery end, pay special attention to the deep part of the threads.. Replace battery and Vape!


I have been doing this for 10 days on two atomizers with success. Also if your battery flashes at the end of a drag repeat step 5. I think this means there's too much fluid on the coil.

Also I've done anywhere between 6 and 20 drips depending on how dry stuffing is.

Ah, very cool. I'll have to try this. I've got 4 batteries coming (two from GreenSmoke after my first two stopped taking a charge) and two new ones from red dragon. I have two menthol carts that are just about empty. i'll try this once I get some juice.

Any particular juice you recommend? Do some brands or flavors or strengths work better than others?

The battery is a new mini e-cig, the cartridge/atomizer is a red dragon which I've peeled off the paper to drip, and I've topped it with a 901 cartridge with the whistle tip. I lost the silicone tip so I figured lets see how a cartridge fits. I've been topping off the 901 cartridge and dripping into the red dragon cartridge and thus far its been working great!

I never had any luck with my smoke-51 refilling attempts if I managed to hit the atomizer coil (center hole). It would either kill the cartridge all together or cause it to spit liquid thru the mouthpiece.

I had previously posted a succesfull way of doing this (see link: Smoke 51 Cartidges ), and although more "involved" has worked hassle free for me and others I have shown.

Glad to see others extending the life on these so-called disposable cartridges..... money is money after all.

I used luckypunk's refill method for my bloog, and it worked great! Thanks for the info!

I have done *almost* the same thing to drip into my loongtotem. However, I tried to drip around the wire in the middle of the stuffing. I did read somewhere else to drip in the middle also. I will have to try this method next time. However, the carts I got from buyreddragon.com taste like crap, so it is really hard for me to even smoke them dry enough to warrant refilling them.

Also, I point of note... if you remove the sticker label covering the atomizer, it is a pretty silver . I like this look a lot better than the dull boring white label that is on there.

Im glad we are able to drip these cartridges......BUT after dripping these carts several times they go bad.....does anyone know how we can revamp (change the polyester filling) in these??????????

It's a single wire atomizer with exposed leads. If the material is burnt, it won't absorb or present liquid to the wire anymore.

The part nearest the wire gets burnt before the cart actually goes completely dry. But after it's burnt, it's useless. "Disposable"

You might be able to go one small drop at a time with a syringe after about an hour or so of first use in the "stock" condition to keep the central part moist. Take the cap off gently, it has somewhat of a sealer holding it on so it doesn't drip. Refill like that for as long as you can get away with it. Like the methods posted above.

There's no significant "wick" action like "drip" atomizers have that actually can handle the wetness. Only the somewhat porous heat insulation around the wire. The wadding material will eventually burn and lose it's absorbency potential around the wire insulation.

If it's worth the hassle to get the flavor you want you might go through it. I just started to like the stock Chocolate and Vanilla better than the alleged "Tobacco" and "Menthol" flavors.

I have put KICK juice in them as above, and it's ok for awhile but it's a hassle and then all of a sudden it gets too wet, drips in your mouth and dies anyway. I think these carts have somewhat more PG in the mix which makes more vapor out and also slows down the drying out and burning of the wadding around the wire a bit. But also, too wet with these and the "atomizer" wire leads don't like it either.

To replace the material requires opening the cartridge from the pressed on threaded battery end, breaking the wire, moistening new material and rolling it back with the insulated wire in the center and re-soldering the wire, keeping the insulation, which also acts like a wick, in the right place. The wire has to be of the right length and resistance to work right.

If that's your thing, hey. Too much for me. I hope they improve the flavors. I think it's going to be harder because S51 and Greensmoke are also using the same supplier now, along with Bloog and the other ones mentioned so they should all have more or less the same taste, depending on which sub-contractor makes the cartridges for the supplier that shipment. This adds consistency of flavor issues. The "same" flavor carts don't taste the same even from a single reseller.

Do they suck or is it personal preference? I personally think there's a lot of room for improvement in the the taste and consistency of the flavor.

A lot of folks like the "menthol" but I don't like that either. There isn't enough control over the flavor options with these things

You could do the same refilling on the Vapor King Atomizers

does anyone know how many times they can be refilled before they go bad or wont absorb juice anymore?
