First, off, I apologize if this has been covered. Obviously, I'm a noob. Secondly, I am working with cartoMIZERS here (thanks ChRi$).
I did a brief search and only found references to using the cartomizers "condoms" to fill by putting the juice in the condom itself. I've had some success using them another way, which again, I assume someone else likely discovered at some point.
Here's the "trick." When filling from either end, I first slid a condom all the way on the opposite end, then, after applying a drop or a few, "sucked" the juice into the cartomizer by giving the condom a little downward tug. If the seal is good, suction will draw the juice well into the cart.
Works on either end. When adding a few drops to the battery end, you can get quite a bit more in than otherwise this way. Kinda cool watching them "sucked" into the cartomizer when you tug the condom down.
But when I did this with mouthpiece end (as in a normal complete fill) first "sucking" by tugging the condom on the opposite end, then "pumping" by putting another condom on the top and giving it a rapid little downward push (with another condom still on the battery / bottom end -- best to leave a small gap to give the air somewhere to go, I think) it's very easy to get the juice that was sitting on top of the filler waiting to settle to IMMEDIATELY penetrate the filling. You can repeat this few times by gently pulling both condoms out a bit and then more rapidly compressing them together to get a forceful "pump" toward the center. The result for me was a completely filled cart that's ready to vape with no shaking or waiting. Didn't get any mess in the center that needed blowing out, either.
Again, I'm sure this is obvious and has been done, probably by brain damaged zoo animals who are smarter than me, but I haven't seen it in the demos I've watched, and after having a bit of trouble with the "shaking," "spinning" and "leave it overnight" methods, I am ridiculously pleased with myself for having created three new, completely full-but-ready-to-go cartomizers in about 10 minutes.
So, dumb / been-done-by-everyone? Too bizarre?
Bear in mind it's late and I'm likely punchy, so be gentle, please.
Edit: I get that the "putting the juice in the condom" method is also using air pressure, but it seems potentially messy and easy to overfill. Doing it this way may be slower, but it didn't force much if any juice all the way through the cartomizer, although a wee bit did need to be wiped off the sides.
