Any cartomizer noob guide?

[zoiDman]

I just got my order of cartimizers from HV today. I have heard about the condom method of filling them and was wondering what size condoms I should be buying?

They make different sizes in Condoms? Hmmm. I only buy XXL.

As Billy Connelly would say, 'I hate using condoms..the FEEL of them..yuck! And the SMELL, all that burning rubber...or, maybe that's just ME..."

I'm wearing three condoms right now.

Only way I can feel safe around you all bunch of freaks.

Is that one on top of the other? That sounds like it might hurt.

I sure hope so the alternative makes me a little frightened though oddly curious.

As Born would say, repulsed and strangely erotic all at the same time..the internet IS indeed a strange place...

OK I came here for a 'Cartomizers for Dummies' vid and got a full-on comedy show. Awake now!!! ROFL! Thanks for the laughs!

YouTube - Cartomizer Refilling...THE EPIC SAGA

I think this is the video you were looking for to begin with.

OMG all this time I thought people were somehow filling them with actual condoms. I kept thinking "How would I explain THAT one to dh?"

Must say, I was a bit confused about the "condom" thing too. I still don't really know what a cartomizer is, but I'll get there. Thanks for the video Born.

I'd venture to say that it's probably your 510 adapter that's at fault. I've ordered several of these and had very little luck with them. There's just not enough airflow. I finally broke down and got an actual KR808D battery setup and it's leagues better! So I now had a benchmark to gauge from. Good airflow and could closely examine the air holes in the connector on a factory KR808D.

I then took my 510 adapter and a pin vise(tiny drill bit) and proceeded to carefully hand drill my holes to exactly match the factory KR808D connector. Popped it on my Silver Bullet, loaded a carto and wow! It works just fine! It's not 100% as good as the factory battery..but I'd give it 95% anyway. The air holes are key to it working properly.

PS: if you wanna try the pin vise..you can usually find them in model/hobby shops. Costs about $5-10 for a decent one and will come with a pins. Also Harbor Freight sells them too. It's becoming a very handy little tool.
