Ok, it seems most people have cartos that they can refill by pulling the cap off.. I haven't got any of those yet.. so I'm using the "condom method" to refill mine. After I fill, I basically put the carto between my palms and do like a hand-warming movement rolling the carto up and down between my palms really fast trying to get centrifugal force to pull the juice from the center tube out to the padding/filter/stuff. Anyone else do this or am I just being weird by doing it? It seems to clear any juice out of the center pretty good and I don't vape on it till I can see down the middle.. This is on 510 cartos btw.

You're not being weird..well, maybe we both are...I roll and shake the cartomizers..just to make sure the juice is sort of evened out , if that makes sense.

Sometimes i let them sit awhile too..i think this helps alot. Once you try the soft cap ones you will like them better.

Oh..and those hard caps you can get off.

Boil some water on the stove..take a pair of long tweezers or something and hold that cartomizer cap side down into the boiling water for about 20 seconds...then get it out...be careful, hot....and you can pull them off with some needle nose tweezers or something another.

And...those t tips....deflon or steel...fit on the cartomizers..you can drip into those when the carto starts getting dry.


Hope this helps !

I do that if I can't find my battery sock to spin it.

I'm waiting for my favorite supplier to get some drip-tips in that will fit on the soft-cap cartos to order a bunch. But I've got like 8 blank hard-caps left so no real need to spend the cashola just yet :)

I did boil the tip off one carto but it didn't quite fit back in right after that so decided to just fill using the rubber cap.

I was fooling with my wife when teaching her how to fill a carto for the 1st time and told her that if she shook the carto to the beat of "Poker Face", while singing the song, the juice would be more evened out and vape better.. she countered with "Ok, show me" :D :(
