Cartomizers and Chuckin'

[highping]

Here's a vid by Snarky on refilling with a hypo...

YouTube - Greencig refill with hypo needle.

I haven't used the hypo technique yet. I prefer to just take them apart to fill.
I thought DeMulta did a vid on that, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Anyone have a link to that vid?

I'm fixin' to try some new things...

I just got my 510 adapters from Altsmoke today.
--Two 510 to Cartomizer
--One 510 to 801

I want to try the 801 at 6V since the 510 atomizer is way too harsh at that level.
And I want to try some of them there cartomizers too.

I got five blanks cartomizers from Nhaler, along with some Kent and some RY4.
High Voltage, of course!


Someone please shout out when there are blank Greencig cartomizers somewhere.

All of you cartomizer users, have a question for you. How many times can you refill these? I tried them when they first came out an killed a battery by refilling the cart. Everytime I refilled the cart, the draw got harder and it finally killed the battery. I did get a week out of the cart though Any tricks or tips to getting the most out of these things? Thanks!

Were you using your Chuck when you killed the batteries? And are you saying it killed the battery dead or did they just lose power faster?

I've refilled some of my cartos 8 times without a noticeable difference on the Little Chuck. On my manual KR808D batteries, I too noticed the draw get stiffer and stiffer on some of my refillers--if it got too bad, I would vape them on either the passthrough or on the Little Chuck till empty, then rinse extra long and let them dry out overnight, then drop 6 drops and test them out. If they still drew really hard (or harder than I'm used to), I'd toss 'em and move on.

I've bought more juice in the last 3 weeks than cartomizers--in fact, don't think I've bought a cartomizer at all over that period. I'm looking forward to getting a stock of blanks--I can get juice much cheaper than pre-filled cartos and build up a "ban stockpile" for less money at the same time.

Thanks for the answer! The battery I killed was a standard auto battery. I have not tried the cartomizer on my Lil Chuck yet. Have some new cartomizers on order and am waiting on adapters too. With the standard batteries, the draw did get stiffer and stiffer with each refill, til it was like sucking thru a clogged straw, then the battery just gave out. If I remember correctly, I refilled this poor thing at least a dozen times. I was trying to see just how much life I could get out of one. It did last for almost a week with that being the only unit I was using at the time. I am glad to hear the hard draw doesn't seem to be an issue when using a Chuck. You have actually rinsed these out? With just water? I would like to give these a try again, as they are super convenient and prices on them have come down since I first tried them. I love using them in the car on a long trip, no fussing around.

If it was an automatic battery the reason the draw got harder and they failed you is because they aren't protected against juice getting in them. The Chuck is protected (I'm having a blonde moment, WTF is it called when it's protected?!)
ANYWAYS! I use a cartomizer all the time, I put an 801 mouthpiece on the end so I can just pull it off and drip in the cartomizer I have overfilled it a LOT of times and all I got was messy liquid run down my Chuck Unscrewed everything and cleaned it all up, no worries
