Different refill method

[gowiththeflow]

What about the nicotine juice on the outside of the mouthpiece? Is just wiping it off enough ?

Yup! I just use a napkin.

i refilled 5 last night this way, and did a fill/spin/fill and all is working well. i didn't pop off the end cap to see if the o-ring looked floody, but no juice got in my mouth so that's good. i wonder, though, with that force-plunger method, for those who already did peek in.. does the o-ring stay in place? or does that force of juice moving in push it way down to smoosh the batting?

Had to blow out the straw,then wipe,but it works! Noticed a small pool of juice between the cap,and o-ring. Not a big deal.

Holy Carp, I'm impressed! I was expecting it to be messy, but there is very little liquid left to clean up!

Tried the plunger method tonight, worked great.

I've also started using the Taryn to dry my washed carto's. Works great too!

I soak the o-rings and white mouthpieces in vinegar while I wash the carts. then rinse, wipe dry, and they're fresh and clean.

The o-ring stayed in place for me when I looked last nite after a fill/spin.

I just gave it a try, and it worked great! I did a handful of cartos, and test-vaped each one afterwards - I'm sold! Sure takes away the intimidation factor for a newbie!

You know, I keep wondering how I'd have ever swung into all of this w/o these forums. Probly be vaping a $300 plasticky pipe with 72 malfunctioning parts filled with swamp juice and wondering if there weren't a better way...

I haven't even tried a refill yet and I feel like I've evolved several centuries walking through these rapid ongoing developments. Now I can spin AND plunge. Next comes telekinesis. Happy noobie moi.

Well heck, I just tried it using not so much juice, to top off a half-done pineapple cart. Nothing bubbling at the other end so I trust i didn't overfill. And i spun it, too. Now I've done my first refill and my first mix: Plungin' Pineapple Mint Upside Down Shake.

I feel so cool.

I did a couple of new cartos and did get some liquid taste on my lips, I am letting them sit mouth piece side up for a little while to see if that helps. Also I think if I wipe off the mouth piece with a wet wipe that might help too.

this DEFINITELY makes 'making mixes' fun. i did cherry and mount do. INTERESTING!

 

[Taryn]

I gave it a try and it works fantastic, I'll definitely be using this from now on.

Thanks for the great tip!

I did this earlier with 5 carts and it worked great! This is so much easier and faster than my old way! Now I don't dread refilling day! Haha

 

[KitKit]

This is sooooooo e-z!

 

[impostor71]

Now I don't dread refilling day! Haha

No doubt right? I used to dread having to refill all those cartos. Now it's just a minor inconvenience.

I just tried this and it works great. It seems to refill more completely than other methods. If you haven't tried it give it a shot. Its much quicker too with less fiddling with the caps and whatnot.

 

[Desertfremen]

This method is sweet but I find it messy. It actually seems to take me longer b/c I have to really clean the caps out.

I guess it's b/c I've gotten into the habit of always washing my carts before refilling to the cap and o-ring removal isn't that big a deal.

To each his own. I will admit to being amazed that it did work though. I certainly wouldn't have thought of it.

When I was watching that video I was thinking...Looks like a good way to flood a carto. After she took a drag I was wondering...How much juice ended up in her mouth? I'll give it a try though,and hopefully be surprised.

I thought I invented that method! The trouble with the Cartomizers is, they are very easily overloaded that way. Very hard to draw through. After a couple of refills they plug up easily. Then you have to worry about them leaking into the battery. Once that happens, good by battery

i didn't notice any mess -- i think maybe every other time i'll pop the cap off to make sure they're cleaned out or something.

what i do notice though, is i've already vaped through the five i refilled this way, in a day in a half perhaps? they don't seem to last as long. quicker refill = a quicker vape? unless i did something wrong, but i can't see how to mess it up. then again.. i HAVE been using these carts for probably 4 refills now...
