    A little snap-crackle-pop is a good thing, so enjoy it.

    Fill the condom 3/4 of the way with juice, push the carto in, and then let it sit. After a while the carto will have absorbed all the liquid and look almost dry. Then you can drip more in.
    With a little patients, you will be surprised by how much juice the carto can actually hold.

    I recoomend just getting a good syringe and filling with that. It will be a heck of alot easier than waiting forever for it to soak in. Even with thick juice I can fill a carto completely in 15-20 sec and I use the Ressurectors which hold over 2ml.
    Id order some cartos from CCV. They have the Boges if you like them and youll get a free syringe. That syringe is perfect for filling and it works great. It really makes it easy and ensures they are filled correctly. It should also greatly reduce the chance of you burning one bc the atty was dry at the bottom

    I wasnt sure how long one full carto ACUALLY would last? (i know the sites say more then it always is.)

    I've found that the opposite is true. My theory is they say its less so they can sell more. But i'm pretty cheap, and clean mine out once or twice before throwing them out.

    If you are having trouble pulling up the juice in a syringe, either you have a tiny needle, or the juice is very very thick, or its one of those plastic needles, those suck. If the juice is thick, that could be the problem. I went through the thread, I don't remember seeing what juice it is, a high vg mix would be a problem for cartos, especially ones that have trouble absorbing juice normally. If you want to give the syringe another go, just pull out the plunger, fill it manually, watch for leaking out of the needle, and reinsert the plunger when the needle is in your juice bottle. Seeing everything you tried... i'd guess they are just junk cartos. If you ordered some with your volt battery, hopefully they will do the trick for you.

    If you need to get these to work, might want to try the taryn spin to fill them. Works well to force the juice down. Well you'll see in the video.

    In a pinch, you can just use a little baggy or two, and a shoelace. I don't remember if the video shows it or not, but you can do a reverse version of this if you want to try to save the juice from any bad cartomizers.

    could any one tell me what SI puts for the description on their package when shipping cartos w/ nicotine to canada?? I am JUST about to confirm my order but because my last package that came into canada WAS checked because it said e-cig on it (from blu eciggs) i am very nervous to do it!

    the one from blu ciggs did get through customs because there wasnt nic in it. but the one i am about to order does have nicotine.

    I put 10-15 drops and give a thermometer shake and repeat a time or two until, I get that "slushy" look to the filler...then set it aside for 30min rSo until I use it...I don't know how many ml/day you vape BUT, I vape around 5ml daily and with a Boge2.0ohm carto I only get around 2hours of vape time(not a day or so) before it just has to be topped up(around 20 drops)...any longer I run the risk of burning/singing the carto and having to toss it........
