Condom refill method on Premium carts?

[Synapsis]

So I finished off one of my Cowboy Prem 36mg carts and decided to fill it with my margarita juice since it was bone dry. Filled the condom halfway, slid it on and pushed down slowly and before it even got halfway down the juice, it started bubbling at the top. Tried it again today after it was dry and it did the same thing. Feedback?

I havent had that happen, but if you have a spare sock handy (and who doesn't), once you fill the cart, toss it in a sock and give it a good whirl (taryn spin) and try and add more.

Seems like that might help add more juice.

If you just use a paperclip to push against the poly-fil it will squeeze out all the trapped air. Or just remove the filler and fill the cart up 3/4 of the way, put the filler back in and top it off.

Hmmm your response totally had my mind in the gutter for a second...

Then it kinda disappointed me because i wanted to know how that would work anyway....

Buy yeah i dont know what it is but one of the premes i had did the same thing. I gave it a good little spin and it could hold a good bit more

Can't do that with a cartomiser. It will destroy it. Remember that Cartos have the atomizer built in woth the filler.

I have noticed that when I think the carto is dry, there still seems to be juice left. I'm not sure exactly why. sometimes when I refill a dry carto, I can get in 1ml and others half or quarter ml.

The cart may not have been dry

The cart may not have been dry

That's what I was thinking.

I usually always vape my cartos until I think they're dry . . . but last week I was refilling my Cola Premiums (Hard Cap) and I do what I normally do:

Drop 15 drops into the condom and push the carto in and 2 of the 6 or 7 I had didn't even take the 15 drops (which is not considered a lot) so obviously I was wrong about them being dry.

I'm told you get better at figuring out when you're cartos are dry as time goes by.

Just remember to push the carto down very slowly so you'll catch the first hint of juice and then you can stop and the suction generated by removing the condom makes the tiny drops of juice get sucked back into the carto.

Yes, I know what the condom, sucking and tiny drops of juice part sounds like

Refilling takes a bit of practice.

It took me a couple of weeks before I truly figured it out.

Yanks is right that you need to go very slowly. I fill from the bottom also, and going fast pushes bubbles up through the top before the filler has absorbed all the juice. (i'm fighting the urge to say this in a way that has lots and lots of meanings )

I have also noticed that the premiums don't seem to soak up the juice as fast, so I let it sit in the condom with the juice for a little while, seems to help.

 

[Belletrist]

also--the airflow 'tube' in the prems is taller than in the regular cartos. so more of the juice will go directly through if you're too speedy. like born said tho, a pause to taryn spin will pretty much solve that.

with the carto condom refill method I've been doing a little (tiny bit) less than half because sometimes are carts are not as dry as we may think. A little less than half does the trick, and I would even suggest going SLOWER than you already are

filled some premums this morning it took a full condom and never had the liquid come out of the battery side hole. havent vaped them yet letting them settle till later so a completly empty prem cart will hold a bit more with the first fill after that ill find out latter how much to refill

 

[Synapsis]

Well mine was definitely dry. It tasted kinda like burnt plastic, and a super harsh and bad throat hit and produced next to no vapor. I had to open it up and put the drops in manually. Course now that I think of it, I think this was the carto that was leaking in my mouth really bad for like, the first half of it. I couldn't use an auto with it or I would get a mouthful of juice. Maybe it was a bad cart or something, never had a pre-filled that pooped as much as that one.

Need to slow down more and burble it in from the bottom up the airway and let it trickle out. The fill on the hardcaps is closer to the top of the cart than the soft or non-premiums.

 

[Parmacrafter]

With the hard cap premiums I have started using a syringe. I just put about 1/2 mil in the syringe and slide it into the top of the cart at an angle. So far this has worked great. Gets you around the whole taller airway thing. It also assures you get the liquid all the way down at the bottom.

"burble" I love it when you talk techie ALynn! Burble puts me in mind of purple bubbles! So off topic here..sorry!

 

[Tonks]

This happens to me too, but just with the soft-capped premiums. Maybe I just need to be more patient when trying to refill.
