eGo tank with air control filling question

[SurReality89]

i am having some trouble figuring out how to fill this tank, at first i figured i just pull the tip off and fill it that way through the little tube and when i did that it went right through where it would screw into the battery and dripped onto my hand, so i unscrewed that end and tried filling that way and it dripped through into the fibrous filter in the tip (mouth piece)...
is this normal?

hah! got it i just had to hold it sideways so i didn't get into the tube i originally tried filling it in so it goes right into the tank. i screwed it into my SD battery since it fits and i still have too weight for my 1000 twist battery to charge... only thing i'm still unsure of is the air control seems to be the same thing you unscrew to fill so i think liquid might be leaking out of that, maybe its because of the battery i'm using idk.

What tank specifically are you using?

There are lots of videos on proper filling of tanks. The center hole is for airflow. However....if the metal "tube" (cartomizer) has no holes in the sides your liquid cannot keep the filling wet. You will need a small hole or make a hole in the cartomizer. Look on Youtube for ecig tank filling instructions...it helps a lot.

so the battery charged incredibly fast, it must have already been partially charged... but yea it was just the SD battery wasn't allowing airflow my problem was solved when i put the eGo battery on it. and this is the tank i got https://www.cloudsofvapor.com/store/127-new-at-cov/1264-cov-ego-tank-with-air-control-black.html , i am already in love this is a great vape and the twist battery is sweet i have it set on a low voltage so i can take long deep vapes without tearing my throat apart and i can turn it up if i want to take a short vape and get the same amount of vapor (which i will be doing at work today so i don't spend too much time pulling vapor, although i enjoy taking longer vapes to taste the flavor longer when i am not working)
