I'm not understanding this. If I were to drip liquid into the bat end of the cartomizer, won't it just come out the other end? What hole in what middle? What the hell am I dabbing with a napkin? I thought it had to sit for several hours and not mintures after refilling.

PLEASE BE SPECIFIC!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!! ONCE!!!!!!!!! SPECIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!

For a quick refill - 2-5 drops - Wait a few minutes - Cart will last you another hour or two (depends on your vaping)

For a full refill - 10-15 drops - Best to let it sit overnight. Cart will last you another day or so (again, depends on your vaping)

Unless you over fill it, the juice will not come out the other end. The juice is absorb by the filling insde the cart.

Note there are other ways to refill but this is the way I do it with good results. No need to blow into it on the battery end or suck on it from the mouth end.

I'm not into doing videos but here is a video that I did extremely quick just for you in the hopes that it can clear up whatever confusing you are experiencing.



Specific enough ??

Max thanks for the the reply...for what it is the VK is very good...as a disposable cartomizer ecig. As far as I am concerned it is not a 901 killer as some reviewers were claiming. I was just disappointed that some people were saying that these carts can last a weeks worth of refilling. I don't think they can be refilled effectively once. As you also noted...the draw, vapor production and the most important throat hit just aren't the same with refilled carts. It is obvious that the liquid that are used in these carts is totally different than what we have.

Edo,

How may cartomizers have you used, as these are hand made, they do have variations. I own EVERY ecig available, and to me, the VK BOLWS em away. I just have a feeling you have some poorly constructed atomizers.

JMO, If you read my very first post, I point out inconsistency's, and have been trying to get better QC at the factory. Please pm me, and maybe I can help

Vape-on Brotha

Hi Steve,

I really have trouble reading your posts when they are in multi-colored bold fonts. Can you not just post normally like everyone else? I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this issue and to be honest it is getting to the point that I avoid reading them.

Thanks,

Philip

I think this is the weekend (rain predicted) that I set up my VaporKing Refill Production Line. I've got this growing bag of used VK (and compatible) cartomizers and all I can think about is how those perfectly good atomizers are sitting there unused while I burn cash on new carts. Here's my plan:

  1. Find a piece of styrofoam wide enough to hold about 10 carts pushed into it side by side, battery hole facing up.
  2. 1 drop in Cart 1, move on to Cart 2 and so on down the line
  3. By the time I get to #10, Cart 1 should have had time to soak down a little and I put drop 2 in Cart 1, drop 2 in Cart 2, etc.
  4. Repeat cycle until I've got 15 drops into each cart.
  5. Cap and bag those suckers and let them ferment for at least 24 hours.
I'll report back on my results

I'm from the opposite side of the refill cart. school.

I pull out the plastic mouthpiece, and fill from that end.

What I found was a hard plastic ammo box works great to hold the cartridges.

I have several slip top ammunition boxes. You know the kind that are in 2 pieces, a top and bottom that just slide together.


Easy to clean-up, just hose it off with hot water.

Anyway, the 9mm, or .38 caliber ammunition box is an almost perfect size to hold the cartridges vertically.


You can pick these up for a few dollars at any gun shop.
