Carto Filling Trouble

[mooreted]

I have stock Cig2o cartos I'm using up. I fill them with an eye-dropper as follows:

--Fill the eye-dropper with juice
--Put the tip of the eye-dropper on the filler material
--Squeeze out juice until the filler gets slushy
--Thermometer shake
--Top off
--Thermometer shake
--Blow out tube
--Clean up

After a little while of vaping it starts to taste like it going to get burnt. Today I popped the cap off and looked in. The filler looked wet. I thermometer-shook it and a little juice came out the battery end. I cleaned it up, blew out the tube and now it's vaping properly again.

Are these just bad cartos, or am I doing something wrong?

Let 'em set a bit after topping off. It takes a few 'moments' for the joose to be capillaried (new word?). Gently blow out any tube nicquid prior to vaping.

I let them sit, battery side down all night. I think it might be that carto is bad. The one I'm vaping now seems to be working so far. I threw it out; we'll see how it goes with this one. Probably just need to buy some decent cartos.

Well, I've been vaping on this carto for a couple hours and it's working fine. I guess the other one just wasn't wicking right anymore. Kind of panicked a little. Still going to buy better cartos soon.

I think 1, the juice needs to set for a while then add a few more drops, your wick is better to be well soaked before vaping . Possibly more relevant, I know I need to use new cartos and bear with them for the first 20-40 drags or so as a kind of breaking in your new pair of shoes...

Look into clearomzers 5th edition. You'll thank me for it if you get some!

 

[mooreted]

I keep hearing about those. I might just do that, thanks.

Now this carto I'm vaping now has been going since my last post, about 3.5 hours ago and it's still vaping nice and still tasty, so I guess that other one is just dead.

Ok, off to look for clearomizers.

Wow, those look really cool. Was going to buy Boge, I think I'll get these. Found them at MadVapes.

I like the Boge 2.0 carto's from Madvapes,all my PV's are bottom feeders,but I just tilt the carto and drip kinda slow until a drop comes out of the Batt end,should be full then.

The only thing that puts me off the clearomizers is it says you need a syringe to fill them. California is not an easy state to get syringes in. Wonder if an oral syringe would work?

 

[mooreted]

Well, MadVapes and GotVapes are both sold out of KR8 clearomizers.

California is not an easy state to get syringes in.

Just check HERE!

My local CVS sells them. It's not hard to find them locally and getting them online is not an issue.

 

[mooreted]

Cool, thanks. Hopefully someone will get some KR8 clearomizer/fluxomizer thingys in soon.

So long as it is a flat tip syringe which filling syringes are, I would hope CA wouldn't give you much trouble for this?

I don't think I ever want another atomizer product ever again... been only using these for 2 days but it is the best consistent vape I've had in almost 7 weeks! I am really containing by excitement. I got some boges that are coming to me today or Monday and I am almost thinking to myself " What's the point???"

Cool, thanks. Hopefully someone will get some KR8 clearomizer/fluxomizer thingys in soon.

Check out Got Vapes Vortex. It's a bottom coil tank. Really easy to fill and use. I have an 808 passthru that I use one on. I actually bought them by accident and gave the other 4 to a friend.
Good luck

I really regretted buying boges and the clearomizers. Boges have come today and they are good but I feel once you used clearomizers, you won't want to go back to boges... I'm sure I'll eventually use the 10 I got today...

By the way, they should come with one flat tip syringe cap to fit over your e-liquid bottles... I forgot about that as I got screwcap tips from Eastmall.net as this is where I got my first 6 bottles of juice...

My juice bottles are large glass bottles with eye-droppers in them. I'll just order a syringe when I order the cartos. Since they aren't medical syringes it should be ok.
