I am a noob of about 35 or so days and I have the cartomizers and that's all I have ever used. I have been filling the typical way, dripping into the mouthpiece area.
I just watched the video "condom" method and I thought why would anyone want to go this route but I decided to give it a try.
Wow....this was soooooo much quicker and easier, especially with my 70/30 mix.
I did not go the full route with twirling it...but the condom method really suprised me in how effective it was.
Any noobs out there, give it a shot.
Thanks to all

Paula,

Thanks for the quick response. Couldn't imagine what kind of blue foam from a pet store could be inhaled. I was thinking 'cats, dogs, birds etc', didn't even think of fish tank filter. Duh!
Thanks again.

There may be other blue foam sheets, but I will tell you about the sheets I have. I have used these and been happy with the results. I use them in my cartridges when I'm not dripping.

The blue foam sheets I am talking about come from the pet store, specifically the fish department. It is used in aquariums. I purchased mine at Pet Smart. They cost around $6 to $8, if I remember correctly. One packet will last you a really Long Long LONG time!

Marineland Bonded Foam Sleeve - Type U, 3 sleeves in the pack. Fits Hot Magnum Canister Filters.

Here is a link to a Blue Foam Modification for Cartridges:

There are other threads here in the forum that discuss other blue foam options. You would be able to find them in a search for blue foam.

As I said, there may be other blue foam products. This is the one I am familiar with.

Paula

I use LR bogetech 510 cartomizers (Which are awesome on an ego) and if i have juice thats thick, like Totally wicked patriot range, i have to thin it to get it to soak into the carto. What i do is add 100 proof vodka. A tiny bit thins it very well, and even boosts the throat hit. People also use Everclear, or any 100 proof+ booze, the clear stuff. Ive heard using spiced rum is bad because of the excess sugar added to it. But you should try this out. Add roughly 10% and make a small batch at first! hope this helps.

I have a bottle of 100% VG and I mix it 50/50 with another liquid that is 100% PG. I have found this to be the "sweet spot" for me - it is thin enough that filling the carts is easy, but still thick (viscous) enough to prevent leaking. Both juices are the same flavor and from the same company - I got them so that I could see what the difference was between PG and VG.
