Thanks for the update. I have been thinking about getting a Chuck. Are they all custom made? How long does it take to get?
You can get them so they are NOT custom made.
And I think you may get them a bit faster that way.
How long it takes varies with how far behind Jeff is on his orders.
He gets an awful lot of orders and he does the best he can for a one-man operation.
You should expect anywhere from three weeks to a month at this point.
In my opinion, it is worth the wait, but that's me.
You can see my Chucks in my signature below.
I have not started filling my own carts. I want to try it but not sure how to start. Is there a good link for a how to?
I am not aware of such a link, although I know there are some.
Someone will probably come along eventually and point some out to you.
In the meantime, you can check this out...
You simply fill it by putting juice in the cartridge. You put as much juice in as the filler material in the cartridge will hold without pooling at the top of the filler material. If it pools at the top, just dab it with a
paper towel or tissue.
The problem is, if you are just putting drops right on top of the filler material that comes with the cartridge, it isn't going to sink to the bottom without a little help. You can use the straw modification, or you can use a toothpick or
paper clip to push the filler aside a little bit so that it can breath while you are putting in the drops. Some people use a syringe or a needle tipped dropper bottle to get all the way down to the bottom of the cartridge.
And I have found that if you replace the stock filler material with blue foam, you can actually put the drops right in if you tilt the cartridge to the side while doing so, but that is probably a bit more than you want to bite off and chew right now.
