I just tried the cap filling method Leaford and am thrilled! I'm a newbie so am needing advice. How many times can I refill before I need to wash and/or toss the carts?

I'm pretty new myself but I'm gonna try and tackle this question anyway from a lot of what I've read.

I think the re-use is a personal preference. I've read some posts where people don't re-use at all (prefer brand new fresh cart) and I've read some posts where people have re-used up to 20 times. I think the average time (from what I've read so far is between 2 and 8 re-uses)

In my personal experience, the cart's seem to vary in "re-use" life. I have some that I have re-used twice and then the performance didn't seem to be as good so I tossed them, but I also have one that I have re-used 8 times and it's still going strong! (was originally a cowboy cart that came as a bonus in my first order) I used to just drip ~ but I've recently started boiling and some of them have EXCELLENT re-use life after boiling and some not so much. Also, I did not boil any of my carts that I've been using the same juice in and that are performing well....the only ones I boiled were one's that I wanted to change flavors in or were not performing to my personal satisfaction.

I recommend you experiment a bit, and I believe you'll find a niche that suits you well. If you need help about boiling carts there was a thread started over the weekend and I could try and direct you to it if you'd like.

Hope that helps somewhat

I only wash if I am drastically changing flavors. 99% of the time I just refill with same or similar flavor. I have never had to toss a cartomizer yet. As long as the atomizer keeps working, I keep it in rotation.

So, I tried the condom refill trick on a non-premium carto and it didn't go so well. I filled the condom cap a little less than half-way full with black-tea juice and slowly pushed it onto the mouth-piece end of a mostly empty carto. All of the juice went into the carto and I gave it a Taryn-Spin, then let it sit for about 20 minutes before vaping. The problem is that I am getting nic juice in my mouth on nearly every vape. Am I missing something? None the less, it was a great video.

OMG...AWESOME!!! This is going to save so much time! I just used one of my blank, never filled cartos with this method and I will let it set overnight and use it tomorrow for sure. Thank you so much Leaford for doing this video cause this is pretty awesome. Fingers crossed, I don't get any juice in my mouth tomorrow, hehe.
 
No, fricken way, easiest way so far was spinning the dam thing....
1. 35mm film can (holds 3 cartos, free from any film processing store)
2. old camera, phone wrist leash, or buy one (cheap)
3. poke a hole near the top and thread the leash through
4. spin

heh...... all cartos vape fine now.

(love the Vibes reference in the demo)

I finally found this thread again! This question is a tad off-topic from spinning, but it's the most popular refilling thread here so I wanted to ask it here:

Do folks prefer to refill when almost empty or to keep topping off? Thanks to the excellent Leaford refilling/spinning video I'm ready to try it but I'm wondering if there is a preference for one way or the other and a good reason for that preference. Anyone? Bueller? Thanks in advance. :)
