my experience is that there are 3 caps.
one has a little stub inside. these come on the mouth end of a coolcart.
one has a little pointy nipple inside. these come on the atty end of a coolcart.
one has a long skinny plug inside. these come on both ends of a wow carto, but only the atty side has the skinny plug.
the long skinny plugs look like they're attached, but they're not. they pull right out. this was confusing at first when i was wondering where my caps with the long skinny plugs were disappearing to. they were just separating into two pieces. duh.
there are definitely two different diameters to the caps. some are a little looser, and will fly off with an unsecure Taryn spin (like on the end of a pass-thru for example - don't ask me how i know!)
i just received a syringe and a bunch of wow blank cartos. i'm going to try the syringe method of refilling today for the first time. i hope it goes well. i don't like the condom fill method, it's way too messy. so far i've been refilling with drips to the fluff through the mouth end, white plug removed, carto at a tilt.

Yes, I like your description. Little pointy nipple. That is the one we need when we refill. The last couple
packs of carts didn't have it.
Good luck with the syringe. I think you will love it, especially for new cart fills.

What size needle did you get? I bought a 18 gauge blunt tip, but it smashed the filler on the first one I tried. Next I bought either a 20 or 22 beveled needle, but it's really slow going on drawing the liquid. Am I missing something? (Well, of course I'm missing something or I'd be able to do it!)

I got 18 guage sharp needles. You should place the needle down the side of the carto until you reach the bottom, and then release the juice slowly. Don't go thru the
filler material, but rather to the side of it.

this particular syringe is an 18GA x 1" with a beveled point. (incidentally, $1 from bluemistvaping)
i have just filled two cartos, one new Wow blank, and one recycled Coolcart that I soaked in alcohol and rinsed.
This seems to be the right size, which may be why the vendor stocked this particular one. i'm not having any problem running 80/20 juice through it, and the beveled tip is an ADVANTAGE. it is easiest to slide in between the fluff and the carto wall, if you turn the needle opening TOWARD THE WALL. holding the needle at an angle, you can slide it in without snagging on the fluff at all.
then it's easy. i removed the plunger from the syringe, and added 30 drops to the measuring well. just barely pushing the plunger in is enough to push the juice through. if you overfill, the syringe will extract just as easily. nothing goes in the center tube of the carto. very nice. good luck!
I need the "sharp" 18, not blunt. Thank you Sally
bluemistvaping, got it, and thank you
The mouthpeice has a little nub on the center of it, and the buttplug has a bigger nub on the center of it, makes it a pain in the ... to refill lol. I lose all my condoms all the time, my stock is running out, and I am very picky when it comes to condoms cause if the carto can slip right in, I do not like it, it bearly has to slide in, otherwise I overfill it.
Gosh....I haven't finished my first cup of coffee yet, and I really, truly do not understand what you are saying. You started earlier by saying there were no condoms on your cartos when you got them.
I guess I misunderstood...I thought you were saying they weren't sending the old-style condoms anymore. I guess that isn't what you meant. I assume by what you just said, you must fill your cartos using
the condom method. I really don't understand your last sentence at all.
Lol ok here is what I ment to say Sallyem sorry about that.
In my experience there are 4 types of condom/butplugs
one with no nub at all or stem in the middle.
one with a small nub
one with a large nub
one with a stem.
I use the one with no nubs or stems to refill, and I cap my refilled cartos with the nubbed ends, I never use the stems at all anymore.

Did you say you received cartos with NO condoms? Did you mean they wren't the kind you like, with no nubs and stems?
I find that the Wow cartos are coming with two condoms with no nub or stem...the kind you like to refull with.

Somebody set me straight..I ordered premium cartos from the sale and got cool carts. I thought you had to order cool carts. I am not complaning..just confused! The liquid seems different too. the Chocolate Banana is in a darker carto and the flavor has changed. (not as bad as the wow..Chocolate banana though)
It is my belief that all the premiums are going to be in cool carts from now on. For awhile, you have seen them both listed for a flavor. The reason for that is that they still had
some of the regular carts available. I believe that after the old style is sold out, they will all be in cool carts. Then only the WOW will be in the premium carts, or I should say
WOW carts. I can't blame ANYONE for being confused....so many changes!

My premiums were coolcarts too.I think thats whats going to happen the premiums ARE now coolcarts.The only reason I didnt like it is I seem to be having problems with the threading on all the coolcarts.They arent working on my adapters.I have to use pliers to get them off.They work fine,its just the threads.
Ok here we go. 1) thank you for giving me another choice other then analog. 2) in your mind how many packs of analog to a pack of v4l with no refill? 3) 3 days new should I try refills yet or still test more out? 4) same as one: thank you
I refilled right away, it's so easy to do, why wait, you should have no problems. G'luck.
We ship to APO and FPO no problem!!
To your other question... a 5 pack of cartos lasts me roughly 2 days. I smoked 1.5 packs/day of marlboro light 100's for 30 years.
YMMV...some folks vape more some less. Refilling is more economical, but most folks will save money either way after the initial outlay and a good mainstay flavor and strength is found.
Okay, I understand the YMMV theory, BUT...these cartomizers are lasting me, like, FOREVERRRRR. Am I just vaping them dry and too dumb to recognize the signs that they are dry?!? One cartomizer will last me like a day and a half EASY. Maybe towards the end of day two it tastes kinda plastic-y...does that mean it's dry? Haven't gotten a "burnt" taste from any of them yet.
