CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[rave]

Okay, slightly humorous story. Tentatively called "Why My Walmart Pharmacist Now
Thinks I'm a ...... Addict".

I saw Vapian's youtube vids on making a "Cartomizerfillinator" to fill cartos
easily (I LOVE this Vapian guy!). For those not familiar with it, the Cartomizerfillinator is a device you make from a cartomizer condom and a 'Leur Lock' syringe that makes it very easy to fill cartos.

I see his video and I decide that I want to make one so, off to Walmart to see if I can buy this type of syringe there.
My wife and I were looking in Pharmacy, but didn't see them on the shelves. Went to the desk and waited until one of the pharmacist was available. Here's the conversation I had with her:

Pharmacist: How can I help you?
Me: Do you have syringes? (I had completely forgotten the "Leur Lock" part)
Pharmacist: Do you get your insulin here?
Me: Ummm, no I don't need it for insulin. [I see this isn't going well.]
Pharmacist: For medical purposes you would need authorization...
Me: Uhh, it's not for medical purposes... [Now it's even worse.]
Pharmacist: [At this point she is just staring at me with a very not-nice expression. I have a pretty good idea what she's thinking at this point.]
Me: Uhhh, thanks.[Realizing it's too late to try and explain (even if I could), I walk quickly away.]

Well, the wife thought it was hilarious. I'm just wondering if I should get my future prescriptions filled somewhere else now.

That's hilarious!! How 'bout you just go up to the Pharmacist again and tell him/her that you use them to transfer liquids into containers with small openings. Oh, and you'll need blunt leur lock needles to go with 'em. Emphasize "blunt" and they'll realize that you aren't looking to shoot up.

..perhaps download Vapian's video onto your cell and show the pharmacist next time?

I got a kit online. I don't remember the name of the company now. But it was easy to buy everything I'd need from one company, and the price wasn't too bad. Still, I've never used it, since the condom filling method works fine for me. I guess it may come in handy at some point, but maybe you should try it a way that requires not having to buy one more thing, which is what I'd do now, if I hadn't already bought the kit.

I've tried it with the condom and it works fine. Same for dripping it in manually. I just really had the urge to try Vapian's method after seeing the vid.

 

[ThreadKiller]

LOL Ron!
You can buy them anywhere here, any size any needle, with or without needle, any color etc

Btw Fani i made some cherry, tastes really nice.

Yeah, rub it in, Konstantine, rub it in. lol

Wow! That a great idea. Hadn't thought of that. where were you when I needed this great idea yesterday?

Great idea, rave, but I don't really want to go back to that pharmacy for a few weeks or so. lol

...You didn't ask for my all knowing, all seeing into the future powers of perception yesterday

 

[rave]

You'd be amazed how much you may use syringes when messin' with PV's after you have them available. There's no way I'd even attempt DIY without them. They also come in really handy if you spaz out and spill nicquid all over your desk. You can recapture most of the escaped liquid if you use a syringe with the blunt needle.

I made the Cartomizerfillinator as well, and found it was okay as long as you grip the condom tightly when you are using it. It seems that the silicone condom doesn't want to stay in place no matter what adhesive I use. I don't use it for filling but I do use it for cleaning cartos.

Wait a minute, if you had those powers, you would have known what was going to happen to me. You let it happen on purpose!!

 

[VaVaunt]

Now see, I could have used Rave's all seeing powers of perception the other day! I spilt some juice and almost cried!!!
Waaah! I could have used that syringe! Double Waaah! Waaah! :

 

[ThreadKiller]

... I don't use it for filling but I do use it for cleaning cartos.

Another great idea! I was thinking of getting some plastic tubing to use instead of the condom. Some of Vapian's later vids show him using that setup.

 

[Konstantine]

Sounds very good to me...
Are they only flavors or ready to use e-liquids?

Fani i just tried the mint too, i almost blew my head off from the taste, what an amazing mint. Tastes like you actually chew the plant.
There is a small after taste from the mint, don't know how to describe it "leaffy" would be my guess.

I tried those flavors on an empty carto like rave suggested. But anyway, both of the flavors were nice like they were supposed to be.
I can give you two 10ml bottles i made for you to try if you want.

Another way that I do it is to take the clear silicone donut that comes with each carto and push it onto the end of a syringe that does NOT have a needle installed. Then I put the carto on the end of it, and pump quickly in and out about 10 times in a bowl of HOT water. You wouldn't believe the chunks of crud that ends up in the bottom of that bowl. It's a bit fumbly, but very effective. Like using a power washer.

 

[VaVaunt]

TY Rave, I'm also going to try this. How long does it take for one of the cartos to begin gathering up crud anyway? Mine are about a month old, and I've cleaned them in hot water twice, but no crud-maybe a couple of tiny, tiny pieces...?

Well, that depends upon what kind of nicquid you're using. Dark nicquids tend to build up crud faster, but my DIY Vanilla Custard is clear and it'll crud up in just a couple of weeks. There is some difference that I don't know about.

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Yes, but how did you explain it to your pharmacist the first time????

I didn't try. I went to a feed store and nobody batted an eye. They sell them in sizes from mouse to horse. Or you could just go to WalMarts infant section and buy one of those rubber bulbs they use to extract mucus from babies and cut the tip off until it fits either in or on your cartos. That's what I use for powerfulshing. About $2.

 

[VaVaunt]

I have one of those (the infant size) Another wonderful idea. Thanks Wuzznt

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Welcome. Ya'll havin a Voltaceous day?

 

[FaniFox]

Yes, but how did you explain it to your pharmacist the first time????

I told him I want to fill my e-cig cartridges
He is young and easy to talk to!

Why not just order online? Bunch of ecig vendors sell them - Liberty Flights is where I got mine. They were like a buck.
I got the blunt tip but didn't have a clue as to the thickness I needed, and ended up with one too thick - live and learn.
