Adeventures in Juice-land: Filling my Own

[waylonjessi4ever]

Don't give up katz....your issues were all needle related. When you get your new needles simply apply a light amount of pressure and the needle will go into the bottle and provide a leak proof seal. So if your needle tip can't reach the liquid simply turn the bottle upside down, adjust the needle so it is in liquid and pull the plunger back. After you have the amount you need, turn the bottle right side up and pull out the needle.

When you get the right needle it will all go much smoother for you. It's like riding a bike, you don't want to quit because the very first time you tried riding it, you fell.

Now I am going to leave you with 2 links, forum members can decide which of these 2 methods is easier, quicker, and more efficient for them.

YouTube - Refilling Vapor4Life Cartomizers

YouTube - Refill for e-cig condom method!

For the record I use a syringe at home, drip method when away, and would never recommend the Condom Method. That being said, the best way is always what works for the individual.

yeppers i use Snows drip fill method and it works great for me !

I'm with Gramva on refilling, condom method and topping off. I hate needles with a passion, took years for me to get my ears pierced and out of all my friends through the years, i was always the one with no tatoos

I hear that ! I just drip fill and im done ! AND i am going to faint if my disease turns out to need shots at home I have no tattoos and no ear piercing and finally dont get freaked with blood tests lol

Monday morning here, my first attempt at filling my own cartomizers, using the syringe method, Wow Wowboy Peppermint into cool carts, wow carts & used prefill wow carts.

What a mess! My house reeks of Wowboy Peppermint, and it may put me off one of my favourite flavours for life. Do you think it's possible some people are just not meant to fill their own???

Problem 1. Wrong size needle gauge.
My bevelled needles are 23 gauge, couldn't get juice into syringe. Had to use blunt needle 18 gauge, so not a great start. Will have to order correct size.

Problem 2. Filling syringe.
couldn't get blunt 18 gauge needle into juice bottle. Had to squeeze the juice into syringe top, then replace plunger, and the juice started dripping out of the needle as soon as I did this.

Problem 3. Getting blunt needle into bottom of carto
Wouldn't have been so much of an issue, except with juice already dripping out, it was messy so I wanted to get it in there faster.

Problem 4. Getting the right amoung of juice in
I've watched Sno's vids, I've read the posts, and I figures 1ml would be right. I thought Cool carts took more juice than wow, but for me they took less

Problem 5. Topping up used pre-fills
juice seemed to go straight through, or at least they didn't need much. Maybe they were already dead?

Not a great start to my adventures in juiceland. It's not something I want to do again, but I will reserve judgement until I have vaped the results. Fortunately I bought a manual battery that I dislike the colour of, just in case juice comes out.

Any tips on how to get around some of my (preventable) problems?

Those aptitude tests they run when you're in school trying to work out what career to choose always said I should be a nurse. Ewww! Bedpans, vomit, blood, other bodily secretions & ick! Can't imagine a worse job. Nurses are underpaid & under-valued in my opinion.
