New to Boba's....need help!

I use lavatanks made by joboyusmc exclusively. Here's a pic so you can see what I'm referring to:

Yes, I use the top cap to force juice into the carto. I used to slot them, then I got a punch and punched 1-2 holes. Now I punch 4 in every carto I use. I punch two at the bottom, opposite each other and two at the top, staggered from the two at the bottom. My punch allows two full screw turns after punching through the metal. 2 full turns of 4 holes will flood the carto, so I've been going with about 1/2 a turn after punching through and it's been working great.

I don't even use poly filled cartos, but if I do ever try them I think I'm going to get one of these setups.How to Fill and Clean a Cartomizer with the Plunger Kit (Patent Pending) - YouTube Looks like a pretty full proof way of filling. Anyone use this setup?

 

[andyman97]

The only thing I'd caution is using dual coil cartomizers. You won't get anywhere near the vapor or flavor you would with a single coil, which is why I stick with single coil boges. No other cartomizer I've tried compares to it. There are a million different ways to fill a carto. Ultimately, you should definitely use whatever works best for you.

Two holes near the top eh? I've never seen or heard of that. Interesting. Are those two holes punched to still be where the polyfill is or are they at the top just above the polyfill? Do you have a pic showing those two top holes?

The holes are in the polyfill. If it was too high, it would flood. Here is another pic:

Also, on steeping. Do I just leave the lid of for a while, or do I just put it in a dark place?

I did this with two 100ml bottles I recently received. Remove the lid (if it's a dropper bottle, remove tip too) and leave it off over night. In the morning put the lid back on and shake the hell out of it before dosing your tank or carto.

If it tastes spicy still, leave the lid off for another night. ALWAYS shake the hell out of BB before filling for maximum consistent full flavour and to tame that spice.

Thanks Andy. I will give this a try. I usually punch 3 to 4 holes at the bottom of the carto, but experience flooding sometimes with a 1/2 turn of the carto punch. I know cartos vary though. Have you ever punched just the bottom of the carto?
