are there any carto tanks yet that are easier to refill?

Well, that's dumb that it doesn't. Have you also see that there are drip tips that'll work so that you don't need to carry the tool around?

Yeah, wasn't sure how much I wanted a longer tip. However, I ordered the slap yo momma tool before even getting the tank, and I've learned it is not really difficult to fill without a tool as I have needle tip bottles.

My notcigs M1A1 has a screw in the side, theoretically can be used as a fill port though I just use it to lock the tank to the carto. The M1A1 is well built, no leaks after over 18 months of use (just replaced 1 o-ring).

To refill I loosen the screw, pop the drip tip off, slide the carto down a bit until top of carto is just below the top cap, then nudge the carto slightly diagonal and fill from the top hole. Then reinsert the carto through the top cap, tighten the screw to just touch the carto body, replace drip tip.

It takes negligible time. The "key" is that the carto is passed through the topcap using a slight twisting motion, like screwing in a lightbulb. This compresses the oring, makes it easy, instead of shearing it (which will eventually lead to leaks).

Thanks for the tip on bringing the carto back up. I've noticed it is easy to change the seals with the relatively sharp edge of the carto and wondered when that may show the consequences.

You're welcome You also use that twisting motion when first putting the carto in, through the bottom cap, and make sure the orings are at least slightly wet (water or a little eliquid).
