"Condom" refill method is ....... genius.

Would someone be a dear and explain the condom fill method to me? I've got two juices I currently cannot put in cartos (I'm waiting on a syringe).
You lose a couple drops in the condom. True. Keep in mind, you only need to do this on the initial fill for a new carto. After that you can just top it off by dripping on the sides.
If you are that short on juice, you have a much bigger problem.

Google Dr Vapor or PBusardo. They both have video's on it. Bet there is a link in a sub forum here too. As I fill my cartos's using this method, anything left in the condom then gets put into the top of the carto. Less than a drop left in the condom for me. I don't refill a used one like that tho. YMMV.
Sorry if I offended anyone with my comment. I should've also mentioned I drip exclusively as I have found in my trials and tribulations that carto's, tanks, and the like can't keep up with my vaping habit at all, hence too many dry burnt hits and very muted tastes from juices I use. So in retrospect as a "dripper" every drop counts, not to mention how the flavor of the juice jumps ten fold as well as the vapor production.
I love the flavor you get from dripping too. It just doesn't fit with my work/lifestyle.
You certainly didn't offend me. I was at a point a few weeks ago with a carto that got a little dry and I almost had an analog. But I took to dripping (writing that feels weird) for a couple of days. I'm lazy when it comes to vaping. I am trying to find the right voltage now and want a bottom feeder. Still lots of research to do. I think the carto volume and the thinking that keeping it wet plus plus cost is a factor that us noobs like.
I use the condom-method, but I put the end without screws into the filled condom.
I push it down and let it sit for a few minutes, then I push it a little further, and so on.
When the condom is flush with the cartomizer, I put the other condom at the other side (to create back-pressure in the air-tube) and turn it around.
I then let it lay and stand with the screw-part down for some time. Say 15 mins before I use it(after blowing trough it).
Seems to work nicely with little spillage.

funny thing how i should come accross this thread, i have a realis which i dont seem to use much now but that uses the condom method and you cant use a drip tip with it so you have to keep doing the method every time you want to refill up, takes the biscuit and you waste tissues wiping them clean, see my agony with this device in my blog post.
You might be doing it wrong.
See this video:
I mostly follow the vid below, but I let it flood a bit, then pull it out a little bit more slowly to help the pressure pull any excess back down to the condom. Others have said it's not good for re-filling and I have no clue about that. I've only filled with it so far. But it worked PERFECTLY. And after you take some drags off it, drip what's left in the condom through the top.

I like the syringe fill method. I can fill five cartos in seconds and have a perfect fill in all of them without wasting a drop.
