I bought a green foam "brick" at the craft store (they're in the floral crafts section). They come in different shapes and sizes so you can find one that fits well on your desktop or wherever you want to stand your carts up. I just used to pen to make holes in it and a spare cart to make them fit perfectly standing up.

Costs about $4 (more or less, depends on size). No drill required :)

If you are that busy, where you need an assembly-line... You might want to research a bottler company. You provide the juice, and they fill and label the bottles for you. Cheaper than you could do it alone.

If you are not dealing in volumes that high, then it would be cheaper to do it yourself.

Usually, in an assembly line... they would use a box-shape, and have 10 x 10 or something similar. Filling all 100 pre-labeled bottles in one shot, or row by row.

They use a valved and metered plunger style filler, which fills to within 0.1ml to 0.0001ml accuracy. Not sure where you could get one of those, but a standard syringe and stopper-limit for filling would be your best alternative.

Remember to store the bottles in a cool and dark place. Light and heat destroys nicotine and many flavorings. It also promotes bacterial growth. (That is why they sell most in dark glass bottles.)

Invest in a micro-filter to pre-filter the fluids before you use them to fill another device, and a hepa-filter for the area where you are working. The more lab-like your setup is, the less chance you have of causing problems down the line.

You may also want to print-up a full list of ingredients, and the supplier responsible for creating the actual juice. Since you are now redistributing a chemical with a broken seal, you are fully liable for anything that happens to the people you sell this to. It is not the manufactures liability. (You would have to sue them, after you have been sued for distributing a broken-seal bottle. They are only responsible for the bottle without the broken seal, and only if it harmed you, not your customers.)

Just be careful, is all I am saying... If the FDA and the supreme court does find an issue with these things... You would now legally be considered a drug-dealer. (Selling a regulated substance without permission. Though, it would not be as bad as selling a regulated narcotic.)

My dog food comes to me in Styrofoam ice chest. I have tons! Get one a week.

I cut a square out of one side of one. Grabbed hubby's screwdriver (Shhh! 8-o) and made it hot with a cooking butane torch. Poked holes in the square in 4 to 6 rows. The holes are sealed so no Styrofoam goes up into the cartridge when I set them in there.

Wash and dry my fluff, stuff it in (tho using teabag paper right now) and drip away. Wait a few, then top off; put on the caps and drop into my tins.

(Ice Breakers mints come in WAY cool tins that hold several carts)

Being that I do a whole lot of reloading, I thought of this as well. I went out and picked up some NEW ammo boxes, the blue ones from Midway in 9mm. They work perfectly. Also the ammo shell holders (what you use when reloading after putting the powder in so it does not spill) work great for refilling carts. They hold them steady.

Given the lead that is used in ammo.. both in primers and bullets, I would avoid using a used one.. get a new one and use it ONLY for carts.

That is a great idea! I saw a few at Cabella's ..... never even considered using a used one. :p

Thanks so much!
