just wash out the carts, dry and refill.

this, take tweezers and fish out the polyfill rinse it really well, pat them dry with a paper towel, blowdry them so they are completely dry re-stuff them in the carts and add your liquids. The alternative is just to vape whatever it is in there dry and just start adding your own liquids.

Also you might want to consider this. When taking out that polyfill, after washing and drying it. You may want to cut about 1/3 of that fill away...drop about 6 drops into the cart then fill it with the fill that you have left, then drop 1 or 2 drops ontop of that. You don't need as much fill as they put in those carts..and by cutting a little away provides more room for a few more drops of juice.

Hope this helps ! Good luck with your journey, wishing you all the best.

how many drops should i put in the cart

Just fill your cart until it looks like a slurpee, you don't want to overfill.

You actually can add the juice before putting in the polyfil. Fill it up to about 1/8 " from the top lip. Then put in your polyfil. You then only need to drop 2 or 3 drops on the polyfil and you're done.

This is how I refill carts and does wonders for me.

You'll have to experiment a little to find the right amount to fill, I usually fill the cart halfway and top off the rest. It should look wet but not pooled on top. If you hear gurgling when you inhale its too much, take the cart out and dab on a paper towel, reinsert and puff softly until normal. Otherwise you may get some juice in your mouth, not good.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

ok have refilled the cart but it tastes the same almost like burnt taste and a little hot

Adding drops is realy kind of trial and error, the most important is not to have any standing juice on top of the batting. If you feel you have flooded the atty dont worry, just take off the cart, unscrew the atty and using a paper towel to catch the liquid, blow into the cart end of the atty. This will get most of the excess juice out and help reduce that gurgling witout risking a mouthfull.
Happy Vaping and Welcome

want2stop, here in the US we use Fluval polishing pads for replacement filler (found at pet stores) and a few other things. I just toss my mine when needs replacing after a few days of use. The pad will be about 3cm thick and you want 1/4 or 1/3 the thickness so carefully pull the pad apart. Cut a piece about the same width of your cart and insert it and trim the end to fit (teasers will be helpful). Plenty of stuff in the forum's "moder section" under carts to help you with this. Welcome to the "vaping world".

Did you blow out the primer in the atty? If not that might be the taste.

If it's giving you a burnt taste maybe the atty is too dry. Try adding a couple drops to the top of the cart or directly on the atty. Sometimes i hold my ecig upside down for a minute to get the juice flowing.
