You know, a little powder and a press, a little mod, and VK will turn into a nice round for ya.

Then we can recycle theses things

Thats a good question. As far as performance...how do they improve on the 901 performance? I don't know but every one mentions how they get better hits off the SD vs a regular 901. I bought a bunch of batteries for the VK carts and I don't know why half of them died on me within a month. Either the switches got stuck or they stopped getting proper contact between the battery and the cart. One of them I dropped and the switch got stuck...and burned. I went through 5 batteries in one month. So I am hoping a mod will cut the cost down. ...we'll see.

Great ideas for refilling. I'll have to watch this thread. Thanks a bunch!

There is a thread here about VK batteries.

They give some advise on cleaning the battery terminals.

I haven't tried it yet, but I am planning on it.

Have you tried to clean the terminals?

Could you clarify how many drops you drip into the battery end of the Nebula ?

Also, clarify how many drops you drop into the "top" of the Nebula ?

One the several occasions I'v tried this, I have gotten fluid in my mouth ?????

Thanks

It really depends on how dry the cart is when you decide to refill.

I usually don't drop any more than 6-7 drops when going from battery end...even then I will sometimes still get a mouthful of liquid on first draw. If I do, I take the cart off and blow any excess out onto a paper towel.

If filling from the mouthpiece, just drip, around the edge and let it run down into batting, until you see it get fairly moist without a puddle forming on top of batting.

Either way, let the carts sit for at least 30mins before re-using.

We do a lot of statistical analysis at work, generate and post scientific graphs on the web, etc. for the US govt. I actually presented this chart in a project planning meeting as a prototype for a possible 12-month project, justifying funding for two full-time contract developers (one post-doctorate), IT purchases, the whole deal. It took the feds a long, uncomfortable and embarrassing amount of time to figure out I was KIDDING!!

I love my job.

Right on my empty .357 boxes are THE perfect holders to store or refill carts. Darn it, I was so proud of myself when I thought of it--oh well, like my dad said, "there's always someone bigger, smarter or faster than you"
I'm thinkin BKM is all 3!

We live in PA, possibly one of the most restrictive in the US for buying a syringe.

In PA you are required to have a prescription to legally buy a syringe.
Here's the weird parts: That rule ONLY applies to a syringe to use for a human.

A farmer can buy a limited supply at a place that sells animal medications. (The syringe, and the medication are exempt from the prescription rule!)

I have ordered syringes for "refilling ink cartridges" from e-bay at a pretty good price. (new ones of course, do NOT want to try and smoke ink! YUCK)

I guess since the needles are dull they are exempt?

Anyway, thanks PA for your bizarre laws.

Where in Central PA are you? I have LOADS of syringes I had from a prescription that I don't use anymore- and they work pretty good, not the thin insulin type syringes. (when I was pregnant with my daughter I had to inject blood thinners) If you'd like, I'd be happy to give you a few.
