Couple of questions about cartomizer, atomizers and juice

[Starlight682]

Ok, so my first question is about cartomizers, i have been using clear 1.5 dual coil cartomizers and i have been having trouble knowing when they are full? it seems i either over fill them(and juice comes out the bottom) or i don't fill them enough and i get a burnt taste, so i was wondering if someone could post a picture of a newly filled clear carto so i could see what it should look like when it full preferable a brand new one cause that's when i have the most trouble with them.

second question is about juices i have been looking for a good s'more flavor that has some cinnamon taste too it like cinnamon graham cracker s'mores or something like that, and also a good waffle flavor that is a good mix of maple syrup and waffle with a hint of butter and taste like the real thing

also wondering what i can use to clean my atomizers with so i can use them right after i clean them, with out waiting 24hrs to dry them out, also wondering if i can throw them in the oven like I've hear you can do with cartomizers after washing them, just didn't see anything about drying out atomizers like that.

thanks so much for your help

There is no need to wait 24 hours with an atomizer, there isn't a bunch of pollyfill in them that needs to dry.
Also the nice thing about e-juice being water or alcohol soluble, both water and alcohol are e-juice soluble.
In fact you will often find water or alcohol listed as an ingredient in e-juice, especially if it has a high VG content (used as a thinner)
So after you have blown as much of the water or alcohol as you can out of the atomizer, blow a few drops of e-juice through it, and it's ready to go.


And, I'll leave the other questions for someone that loves DC's. Personally I think they are to expensive in comparison to a normal carto to be relevant.

Heyas Starlight,

I use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner to clean my atties. Normal atties seem to be ok after I dry them off with a paper towel and blow them out. Tank atties seem to perform better after I dry them, blow them out, and let them air dry for another day. But, that could just be my imagination, and I don't really use the tank atties that much anyways. Cartos I don't generally clean. I drip new juices until I find one that I like, then dedicate a carto to it.


Hope this helps,

Over-filling a dual coil carto is not a terrible thing. Just blow through it lightly to get any juice out of the center tube. At least you know you have a full carto. I don't have any pictures of a full clear one, but you should be able to see the juice saturating the filler as you drip it in. Once it is all saturated, the cartomizer is full. Also, when the filler doesn't absorb the liquid immediately at the top, you will know it is getting full.

thanks for all your reply's i guess the biggest thing with the clear cartos i have is is that there are dry spots in it even after liquid starts to come out the bottom and I've followed all the instructions about dripping it down the sides and all that but it still doesn't seem to get all the carto filler wet so i don't know

You can try a thermometer shake a few times to move the liquid down in the carto to help fully saturate it, but the other factor is waiting a little while, say 10 minutes, for further absorbtion before continuing to fill.

I don't have a picture of a dual coil, but the easiest way to fill them is with a syringe with a 20ga needle. Insert the needle down the outside of the batting. Starting at the bottom, slowly pull the needle back as it fills. If you see a dry spot, insert the needle near that area. You'll be able to easily see when it's uniformly saturated.

I use DC Mega SmokTech 1.5 and have found the issue with them is getting the juice down in the bottom of the stuffing. Here's how I fill them for the first time. Use a blunt needle and holding the carto horizontal place juice in from the batt end wheile slowly rotating the carto. Immediately roll it many times on a flat surface. I then proceed to fill from the top until it looks "slushie". I then roll the carto again on a flat surface and can immediately vape. This am I filled a carto and vaped. I knew it was overfilled A's it was gurgling. I removed the carto and rolled it on a flat surface many times, installed and vaped. No gurgling and it gaped like a beast. Regarding filling methods everyone talks about the Taryn method and the Thermometer method. These methods are fine and do get the juice down to the batt end of the carto but not to the outer edge of the batt end of the carto. The carto I use takes 60 drops of juice and I've found this method to work perfectly.
