Can Anyone Advise Please

Hi all

Joined 3 days ago and been vaping for 11 days now. I am still getting nic cravings and could do with a higher dose. The cartomizers I'm using provide 16 max. It's been suggested that I refill the carts myself but looking at them and trying to remove what remotely looks like a lid, is practially impossible. I'm using the Skycig kit. Does anyone use these and know how to refill them. Thanks guys.

Thanks comski, it looks so easy and I'll give it a go as soon as I've got an empty one. Do you know how many times you can refill the same cartomizer. (thanks for your help).

on my e-lites it came with 7 tips and i have 5 left all used up, i'll refill the 1 i'm using about 4-5 times a week then i might boil them to clean them then i might get another week out of them.

it might b more each 1 after it is empty from new, should last about 2weeks?
wen they seem 2 slow down i'll bin it.
hope this helps more lol

If you are using an e-cig with a 510 connection the best thing to do is use clearmisers or bud atomisers. They are simple to fill & can be bought at 2 for £4.50in Uk or even much cheaper if you order in lots of 10 or 20 from china. Just screw off your cartomiser & screw on a clearmiser & vape away. I will put a link below to some places you can buy & a vid on youtube to show how simple they are to fill. The added advantage is, unlike cartomisers, you can clearly see the juice level left (hence the name). I only used cartomisers for a week before discovering clearmisers. I would never go back to a cart with the messy filling & burnt taste when it runs dry. Clearmisers tend to last for wks. The wife wouldn't use anything else. Hoping this helps.

For refilling, do a google search for Taryn spin too, an easy method to speed up filling.

In general terms, there are many ways to fill a carto, but what I do is simply fill with liquid one of those protective sleeves, or condoms, which many cartomizers come with.
Then, you slowly insert the cartomizer thread first into the sleeve, slowly. You should see the juice coming up and soaking the filling (assuming you took away the top cap with a pin or a screwdriver.
This might take more than a filled condoms to achieve, as some cartos take more juice than others.

Once you see that the filler is soaked, let it rest inside the condom in for a few minutes, take it off, wipe. If there is still some left in the condom, you can drip it on the filling. Then put back the cap.

Let it rest a while, even overnight, before use, the liquid needs time to soak the filler and the atomizer as well. Taste and vapour should be better this way.

That's how I started refilling my E-lite cartos, more or less at the stage you are now, I guess.

One cheap and tiny VP which will take 510 cartos (by far the most common) is the SD keyring. It can be had for £15 or less with two cartos and charger. I like the marlboro taste.
If in the same order you get 5-10 boge empty cartos and a few bottles of liquid, you are all set for a few weeks or more of vaping on the cheap SD prefilled cartos are also not that expensive, at around £6 for 5.
vapeescape.co.uk and other stock them.
But the cheapest option is really to buy empty cartos and liquid.

If fillign cartos is too cumbersome for you. You can get ego stardust or the new V2.
With this you just need unscrewing and pouring the liquid in. put them upside down and let rest 2 min to soak, otherwise they will taste bad, and you are ready to vape.
If you take V2 or stardust, you'll need an adapter for normal 510 connections.
The best one (as in, the only one I would recommend getting) is this long one:

That's the only one I tried which gives a good airflow on vision stardust. I use it on ego batteries too, which in theory wouldn't need it, but it makes for a better vape.

Hi Popsie

Welcome to vaping and the forums. You are now in safe hands. All you ave to do s not get too obsessed and try not to spend too much money. I did both, but at I'm off the tobacco for about 8/9 weeks now so who cares.

If you are getting cravings you might try to increase your nicotine and seek if it helps. don't worry about the Mg levels or compare them to tobacco at this stage as vapour comes in much larger particles than tobacco smoke so dosen't absorb into your body so easily (about half as well if your technique is really good). By technique I mean vapour absorbs best from your mouth or nose rather than lungs.

Finally there are about 10 other addictive chemicals in tobacco other than nicotine. But don't worry in a few days you will. Fel much better, just vape away, try to relax and enjoy.
