A coupla n00b refilling questions...

[Rockerella]

1) Oooooops! I've overfilled a cart. (Overzealous bottle squeeze) What's the best way to correct that?

2) What's the best way to dry out a cart after rinsing? I've seen mention of "blowing it out", but I've tried that and still ended up with watery e-juice. I blew into the batt end. Is that wrong? I even tried to spin the water out with Taryn's spin trick, but still soggy. Should I let it sit around without the mouthpiece for a few days?

Thanking you fine folks in advance!!

I take off the white cap and silicone o ring then blow from the mouth end. A very short sharp burst will take care of the overfilled issue, make sure you put a paper towel or tissue to collect the juice that will shoot out. I do the same after washing them, but very hard deep blasts of air until no more water comes out. Usually around six good blasts? I wipe up any water on the ends or visible on the upper edge inside then refill right away but I hear some let them dry more.

Edit: you might want to spin the overfilled one after you blow some out to redistribute the juice then try it again.

Blow into the mouthpiece, so the water comes out of the battery end.

just blow it out from both ends for a few minutes until you get most of the water out that you can get out and refill with juice and vape. Sometime I put a paper towel on one end and blow out and the water goes into the paper towel. It doesnt have to be totally dry before refilling again with juice.

or you can let dry over night if you want..

If you are talking about too much juice just blow through moughpiece into a paper towel on other end.

. that should do the trick/

I use a salad spinner to dry out the carts after I rinse them. Works pretty good.

When I over fill even after the Taryn Spin, I just put a q-tip in the end and suck up the juice, (if that makes any sense) its late and I am tired!!

Thanks guys. I have a salad spinner, I'm gonna try that!! All great suggestions!

The v4l family rocks!

Blow them into another cartridge - then you don't waste the precious juice. [Don't laugh - that's what I do...]

I have another newb questio0n regarding refilling carts. is there a good way to clean out a lot of carts at 1 time? I have about 30 carts that need to be rinsed out and blown out but that takes alot of time to do them 1 by 1. is there an easier way?

 

[Adrenalynn]

I rinsed them in hot distilled water, then blew them out with a dry compressor (ie. non-oiled)

 

[wolf10851]

so you poured the hot water through the carts? I have sat in front of the sink with the water running for like 20 minutes at a time rinsing each one out and blowing each one out. now I have more carts than I did that time. There has got to be a better way!!!

I'd estimate it takes me less than a minute per carto when washing them out well. I don't bother washing them out each time, only if I'm refilling with a non compatable flavor or it's starting to look brownish inside. Example, I refilled my peach cobbler carto with plain peach, my english toffee carto with coconut, ect. I figure if they would taste good together they will vape fine together!

Sorry - no - I toss them in a bowl of moderately hot water and agitate. If you put 'em in between your fingers, you can do like six or eight in each hand at a time. For me that's plenty.

Don't hit 'em with too high of a pressure from the compressor, it packs the batting.
