OH NO!! The carto in my tank died and I just refilled it with juice!
Never fear! The Ocelot Method is here! I may not be the first person to think of this, but I haven't seen it before, so I'm claiming it as my own! I shall go down in vaping history! [I've seen a cart-to-carto swap, but that won't work if your carto is flanged.] (There is a link at the bottom to the video I just added!)
Note: This will only work with tanks that have interchangeable top and bottom caps. It will not work with DCT/SCT tanks that have a concave bottom cap to hold the carto flange. I haven't tried it with cartos that do not have a flange.
You will need:
A tank with a dead carto
A "Slap Yo' Mama" or similar tank tool
A new carto
(The tank in the picture is sitting on a cone cover, not a necessary component.)
Remove the drip tip and insert the tank tool.
Push the old carto down into the tank.
Remove the tank tool from the old carto (I hold the bottom of the carto so it doesn't come back up when the tool is pulled out).
Put the tank tool on the new carto.
Push the new carto with the tank tool attached down into the old carto. [Note: there is less juice in the tank in the remaining images, because it fell on the floor while I was trying to balance the parts to photograph them. It didn't leak; the towel is dry.]
Flip everything over. When the new carto is pushed up into the tank, the old one comes out of the top.
All done!
Et voilà!
