For those of you using the condom method for filling your cartos, is it better to fill from the battery end or the mouthpiece end? The various videos on Youtube show both ways.

From the batt connection end! How in the world would ya do it from the udder end with a condom without a mess?
OK, is this a spin off of the "squonk" thread?

This guy shows it being done from the mouthpiece end.

If ya do it from the batt end, ya can monitor the filler end and not waste ANY juice. I guarantee ya that he did NOT fill that carto in that vid! Plus many, if not most, cartos do not have filler up to the tip end.
Try it both ways and see which is the best for yourself. Wanna bet... ?
Since ya haven't tried it yet, if I were you, don't bet! Just try it both ways. Then come on back and let us know which way ya prefer to load your cartos.
BTW, I offered the bet 'cause I DO know and you don't... (What nic level are ya vaping? May wanna boost it a bit. Just sayin'...)
Get a hypodermic and do it measured and easy. No mess, no shaking, spinning or other stuff.
Ya seem a bit tense and self-defensive. Thought maybe a higher nic might help ya to see that the 'bet' offer was rhetorical. Hey, seriously, we are here to help folk to avoid the mistakes that we have made, including believing dumb vids...
What...? Did ya read post #5 and #7? Sorry, can't break it down much more fer ya...
Just grab that condom... no, da one without da ribs... and try filling from both ends...
... no, no, da carto...Never mind...

I always do it from the mouth end. Just push until it barely comes out of the battery hole. Then, while remoing, just squeeze the sides of the carto and spin it as you pull it out. Not a drop wasted. What's left in the condom I either just leave for next time or extract with a blunt syringe.
Oh, and the rubber cap should be off, but that's the first thing I do anyway to put a drip tip on it after.
I'm obviously in the minority here, though, so presumably both works well.
That's kind of the point by doing it from the battery end, you get the coils good and wet and keep a lot of liquid down by them (IMHO). Then top off with what's left in the condom and/or a few drops from the bottle.
This is the method I use w/a brand new carto. Used ones I just top off w/drops from the bottle, unless I get carried away and end up dry burning (YUCK! Don't do it!
)Having said that, as someone earlier so...eloquently...said, try it both ways, and do it the way that works best for you.
NO, the coil is not at either end, it sits in the center tube vertically. If you look, you can see it (almost).
Makes no difference which end you fill from, the result is the same. I fill from the mouth end.
Maybe this dual coil carto will give you a better idea of how a carto is put togeather.
