+1 on all the new Piccies ;) nice to meet you all. Dreary day today, not doing a whole lot, its mums b'day today and she bought herself a new tv for her room, so was my job to set it up. Its all good to go and a lovely unit. Now im just fishing out some surround speakers for her, ( my older logitech ones) but i think brother sniped them on his last visit... oh well. All 11 of us are having dinner here tonight, and brother will finally get his volt stuff i ordered for him. I hope they will give it another shot, i think they may have stopped for a while.
Cindy love your banner!!!!
Yeah the forums were down for a little bit, but now seems to be running fine. Puss is relaxing next to me and we are enjoying electric blanket warmth together :)

Now, to get the hang of filling the carts. According to my measurements, 1ml is about 20 to 25 drops. I don't think the carts are gonna hold that, but I'm afraid to try and stuff that much in.

Drip in the carto till the top looks slushy. That's what someone told me. I found that once you get a little liquid in the top, it might settle, so wait, and then maybe add a little more. I probably overfill them, just to be sure, then blow through the hole to get rid of any excess. Then I use the carto on my manual battery so if there's any dripping, it won't ruin an auto. After some vaping, when the carto seems to have "settled" into normal function, then I can put it on my autos.

Actually, when I've filled brand-new, dry cartos, I use the condom method. I fill it halfway, then insert the carto and let the juice come up to the top. After that, and letting it sit for a little while, I might drip in a bit more juice if it still looks dry in spots. I only drip in the top to add more juice to a carto that's already got something in it.

I'm very new at this, but this is what's been working for me.

Could we PLEASE just call it a "bootie" instead of a condom? I don't think I could blow into one otherwise. It's a personal thing.

Steel Jan said the same thing -- she wanted to call it a bootie, but it seems everyone calls it a condom, so I've just gotten used to it. Besides, you blow into the carto, not the condom, so that may make you feel better. Does it really matter what we call things? Things are what they are, no matter what their name is. What's that about "a rose is a rose and by any other name would smell as sweet"?

OK, what's going on with my purple manual batt? This was the one I dropped awhile back, but it's been working fine again. Tonight, the only way I can charge it is to cover the switch hole with scotch tape (without pushing it in to turn it on). Has this happened to anybody? Is this the beginning of the end for that one? Dagnabbit, am I gonna have to take my picture now to get another one?
Ugh, bad timing for a batt to die on me!

Tried with a different charger?
Sounds like a connection got loose.

Doesn't matter to me. I was just having fun with the subject. But I think everyone thought I was serious. :)

Got another questions for my friends...
Where can I find little juice bottles? I looked at Wallyworld last night. Granted, pharmacy was closed by the time I was able to arrive, but do you guys have any local places that I could look? ' (By local I mean 'nationwide chains)
I need to send some out and so new to this I don't have any extra bottles laying around. Thanks Team Volt! :p

I got mine from here:
Bottles & Caps - MyFreedomSmokes.com
but I know there are many good bottle suppliers. Maybe with better price, too...

Kind of a longshot, but you might try a hobby/craft store (like Michaels). I think they have Ben Franklin stores in FL too, but I haven't lived there in over 10 yrs so the memory fades. :)
