A newbie question...

[HardAssets]

I'm brand new at vaping. In fact I ran out of cigarettes earlier today and decided to wait until my Riva Ego arrived. I'm charging one battery but started using t right away with the other. It came with 10 blanks cartridges. My question is how many drop of juice does it take to fill one of the cartridges? I don't want to put too much if it's gonna screw something up but I also don't want to constantly be putting drops in.

BTW...I think I'm gonna really like it!

It usually takes about 10-12 drops but don't worry about counting, you can't overfill it or it'll run over and it won't screw anything up. Start out with one drop and let it soak in, the first few drops might take a while till the fill gets wet then they will soak in quicker. Keep dripping until you see it start to fill up and looks glassey on top, to the point that one more drop would make a dome. Then just pat the end slightly with a napkin to remove to much access and you're ready to go.

Check this video about the 7 minute mark and it'll give you a demo.

or if you put too much in squeeze the the bottle to suck the excess back into the bottle so you don't waste any

If you're using cartridges, I prefer to ( using tweezers )take the filling out, add drops until the cart is half full, then replace the filler. We cant really tell you how many drops because different juices are thicker than others. Ive got some juice I can get almost 20 drops into a cart and other juice only 12 or so.

I can't really speak to refilling cartomizers as Ive only refilled ones that were meant to be thrown away after one use. ( But I used the condom method for that )

Welcome !!! You are going to be constantly adding drops...it is the nature of the beast...but it's all good ! Full will be a slushy type of appearance... keep tissues with you...juice tends to leak out at the atty battery connection whenever it feels like it !! I have the eGo...same thing...I keep the button on top to try to make sure no juice gets into it !
You're gonna love it !!!!

Full will be a slushy type of appearance

yeah I still go ONE more drop which is always a mistake hehe

fill until the level comes to the top. pull the batting up slowly with tweezers. you'll see when it's full. Happy vaping!!!

I wanted to say thanks to all who responded. I got the hang of it and have refilled about 3 times over the last 4 hours. I really need to find the right flavor and maybe need a higher dose of nicotine for now. The only real problem so far is that my mouth hurts a little from hitting it all evening. I guess I need to get in shape!

LOL! And welcome Hard Assets! You'll find a higher dose of nicotine will really help. And yes, the right flavor will KEEP you vapin'!

What mg of nicotine are you using and what type of smokes did you smoke?(and how many a day did you smoke?)
