So I just got a few Boge cartomizers in the mail to replace my atomizers, and I have to admit I'm a bit thrown by the design...where do I put the fluid? There's two holes (one on each end) so I'm assuming i put in one of those, but the holes go all the way to the other end so I'm worrying I'll just be dumping fluid right through it...any tips?
Confused by my Cartomizers

You remove the cap on the end that you would place in your mouth, then you hold the cartomizer at an angle and place about 10 t0 15 drops of juice around the center hole in the batting. Do not get liquid in the center hole, if you do blow it out very good before placing it on a battery.
There are a few options for filling your carto's. If you have a syringe that to me is the easiest way. You pop off the rubber plug, that's the end without the threads, fill the syringe with your juice of choice, insert it down the outside edge between the stuffing and metal wall, slowly fill at about a 45 degree angle, when it starts dripping out the threaded end it's full. Let it sit for about 10 minutes at least, blow through the non treaded end on to a paper towel, it'll knock any excess juice out and you are good to go.
Another way is to use the big rubber condom lookin caps that came on it. It is much easier to check out a YouTube video than have me explain it. Just search cartomizer condom fill.

To me the easiest way is to just drip about 20-40 drops slowly into the filler. I do it with 5-10 drops at a time, wait a few seconds for it to soak in, and repeat. When it stops soaking in and looks moist on top, you're done. Put the plug back in, wait a few minutes, then enjoy.
the easiest less mess way to fill a carto is called the condom method... take the silicone cover cap fill it half way with juice, and slowly push the carto,battery or threaded end into the carto condom , then drip a few drops in the other end and you are ready to vape 
Well, as you can see rgm82, everyone has their preferred method. The important part is letting the filler have time to absorb the eliquid and that the center tube is clear of juice and then, you should be good to go.
Make sure you have added enough juice, and that the filler is totally wet. I burnt two, by not adding enough..
The easiest way for me is to use a clear ce2, just use a syringe to fill and you're ready to go. No guessing on how full it is, no mess unless it has cracked. and yes, I have used carto's, but they were just too messy to use.
How I fill Vapor4Life KR8 cartos and Boge 510 cartos
Pop out the soft cap with an unbent paperclip in the mouth hole, very careful not to catch stuffing or the wire loop.
Shake and open the eliquid
Hold a bit of tissue on the threaded end hole, tilt the carto, and add 18 drops per ml of capacity into the stuffing (Boges and most KR8 cartos are about 1ml).
Wait 15 seconds or so then see how many more drops the carto stuffing will soak in easily.
Clean up the threaded end, tilt open end down into tissue, puff into threaded end to clear air channel (Boges and the KR8 cartos I use have a defined center air channel and I want to see light through that)
Sop up any loose juice above the stuffing
Cap and let it settle - I lay it on different sides for 15-20 minutes to make sure every bit of stuffing gets damp so I won't singe the carto. if you use thicker juice than me (I use 20% Vg or less) then you may need to wait much longer.
While vaping, if the vapor gets a bit light or a bit dry or the carto is getting hotter than normal, I take the carto off the battery and add eliquid. I sometimes use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece on Boge and KR8 cartos (not to drip into since the juice would head for the central air channel)
And you still need atomizers to test juices and to vape ones that are too thick for cartos or didn't earn a carto. Only put juices you love in cartos. Cartos have limited lives and you cannot replace the stuffing. Somebother to try to clean and dry them and some of those succeed. I can't be bothered. I save them in case I am out of cartos some time but I have not tried to clean one yet.

After you think you have your carto completely full, replace both condom cups, put the carto in a plastic shopping bag threaded end in first, right into the corner of the bottom of the bag, use a twist tie just above the carto to keep it from flopping around, then take the shopping bag handles and start spinning the bag real fast with your wrist like you were making circles. Do this about a dozen times and then take the carto out, take the condom cups off and I'll bet you will see that the filler is dry on top. If so, add more juice and repeat. Be sure to replace the condom cups or the juice will spill out the end. I usually do this twice but sometimes it may take 3 times. Centripetal force will force the juice to the threaded end and you will get more juice in the carto this way. And it's quick. There are lots of other ways of doing this but a shopping bag is something that everybody has on hand. I now use a penstyle lanyard to do this method. It's called the Taryn Spin.
