I think she is gone for the day... But just pop them out, and let em air...then fill with th condom on the batt side...and then i (before I attach to batt) do a quick suck in and out on the mouth end till i dont here the liquid anymore, and then i vape, till it gets a lil tasteless, and repeat..no spinning needed in my case..this is the only method I do any more..hope that helps

I'm still here off and on until I'm forced to get in the car! ;)

I don't condom fill from the threads though, I do it from the mouth piece end. Spin 'em after and then blow through the batt end. And I've never aired 'em out. But may start. :)

I don't care for the taste of a brand new carto either. I equate it to the taste you get when you use a brand new atty. The factory primer stuff just doesn't taste good. I don't air mine out, but I will try that. What I do is just suck up the bad flavor for the first fill. By the time I refill it, the bad taste isn't too terribly bad and completely goes away the first few drags of the first refill.

I read on another forum that this guy gives his cartos a VG bath before he uses them. He says it clears out the bad flavor of a new carto completely. I've not tried it.

Also, I use my cartos at 6v and love it!

they're 510 carts hard tip BOGES. Or at least that's what I'm told.

I am currently trying the airing it out method and may try the VG bath, just because that sounds interesting.

at least I'm not crazy, I couldn't find anything on here that talked about the bad taste on cartomizers, everyone seemed to praise them so much I had to try them, i hope one of these tips works.

you guys are wonderful thank you!!

also I fill from the mouthpiece, battery side scares me!! and I'm using a regular Joye 510, should I be using something stronger for cartomizers?

I have those same carto's asharp22. I popped off the hard cap and fill from the mouth piece as well. I go around the inside in circles to fill. Haven't been using lately though since I use AC all day every day and it doesn't clean out of the filler well. I'm a cheap skate, and I can't see only being able to use a carto for 2 weeks and having to replace it when I can use 1/3 plug mod and toss that little bit for way less.

wHAT IS THA HARD CAP ON THE CARTOS? HOW DO YOU GO AROUND THE INSIDE IN CIRCLES TO FILL IT?

WHAT IS THE AC THAT SHE USES ALL DAY? AIR CONDITIONING?

WHAT IS A 1/3 PLUG MOD? AND WHERE DO I GET ONE....

THAT LINGO. AND SORRY CAPS FOR WORK. MUST LEARN TO TYPE WITHOUT LOOKING AT MY FINGERS......

AC is Atomic Cinnacide by Tasty Vapor.

The hard cap is the hard plastic cap in the mouth piece. I trace around the inside of the cart in circles to fill...imagine running your finger around the inside rim of a glass, that's how I fill. Clear as mud??

1/3 plug mod is something I learned about in the tips&tricks forum, though the thread says to cut off 3/4 of the filler, I do it with polyfill I got at Joann's and eyeball it, seems I use about 1/3 of what I usually would for a full plug. Here's the thread on it http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/70962-my-simple-cart-mod.html
The only thing I've noticed is that I can't drip through the fill, I need to pull it out with tweezers and fill the cart that way, then add the fill back in.

thank you, sometimes I think my brain is going to explode with all the lingo. Atomic cinnocide.... is that cinnamon flavor? sounds good....

i looked into the mod, is there a video? I need to tear one of these things apart to understand the parts I guess....
