Ewwww

The learnng curve is a little steep for me. I have learned the hard way not to overfill my cartos. Mouthful of juice ughhhhhhh. Sent me running back to my analogs last night.

But today, it's all good and back on the vape. Besides, I got a new flavor this morning
So anyway, do NOT overfill em.....the juice tastes NOTHING like it smells. (tho, I have got a drop or 2 of the sweeter juices on my lips and that's ok...)

But last night, I was ready to quit vaping all together.

Ewwww is right! I've gotten a mouthful by holding the carto end lower than the LED end. My lip actually felt numb for a little while.

If you really mean carto (cartomizer that screws onto the battery) - when I do the first full fill or add juice, I have it off the battery and hold tissue on the end. Then I clean up the threaded end if needed. Then I always tilt the opened mouth end of the cartomizer down into a tissue and puff into the threaded end hole to clear the air channel of juice. Then I use the tip of a tissue to clean up any loose juice above the stuffing. On a full fill I also let it lay on different sides to make sure all of the stuffing has absorbed the juice. If I don't do that I get hot sputters of juice hitting my tongue or gums - it will blister sometimes!

With cartridges used on an atomizer (carts) I was often getting a mouthful. I was carefull about filling too, and switched to blue foam stuffing, but still sometimes it would go "Surprise!" and let me have it.

You cant quit you just have to try harder!Im glad your getting the hang of it,lol!

 

[Animeguy]

Try dripping. If done right, it is awesome. And yes juice in mouth is nasty. Its like bitter super spicy.

 

[keyzygirl]

We use cartos so we dont have to drip every few drags.

I do what dormouse said. After I fill I blow through the open end and hold a tissue to the battery end.

I think I got it now. Dormouse, that is exactly what I am doing now. I figured it out and now I am vaping happily. Good thing too, the analogs taste like crap (except after a meal...that one I am having trouble with, but it's only been a couple days, so I'll give it time).

Thanks for the input! More flavors just arrived from UPS....guess I'll need to clean some cartomizers

If you are using cartomizers, You may want to try the ceramic pot types. E2 or Ce2. Also the Boge Cortomizer seem descent, But they are not ceramic. The e2, and Ce2s seem to be out of stock in a lot of places, But worth keeping an eye out for...
Also when I use to get juice in my mouth I found that having a damp cloth or paper towel hand to blot up the liquid from my mouth gave better relief than trying to rinse or spit it out. Good Luck.

Hey Keyzgirl. Can we see a frontal shot of your sweet face?

 

[NonCig Ang]

I feel your pain! I am new also and use a tank... was overfilling and sucked juice through a few times. Not to mention, I have wasted a lot of juice from it leaking through my atty. Hopefully I have finally found my fill line. (crosses fingers)

LOL!!! So funny though, I knew exactly what this thread was going to be about before I even clicked on it ~ROFLmAO!!

Just my two cents worth.
I had the same problem when I first got my Bloog and started refilling, until I saw a you tube video by Dr. Vapor.
I use the carto condom, and put 15 to 20 drops of juice in it.
With the battery connector end going first, i just slowly slide the carto into the condom.
After you hit bottom, slowly pull the carto out of the condom and wipe off the battery connection and there you have a perfectly filled carto..(takes a little practice)
Good Luck and happy vaping.

18 days clean, 700 cigarettes NOT smoked...!!!!

Had been dripping mostly, but switched back to cartos after it felt like burnning a hole in my throat after a bad overfill. My fault - did not see how many drops I used - it was dark, OK??

 

[rmpetty]

I think that might be a right of passage into the world of vaping. Did it a few times in my first couple of weeks.

On my 6th day of vaping and loving it! Haven't touched an analog since (I'm learning the lingo hahaha)
But I've gone through cartos like a mad woman so I decided to order juice...I'm getting it today and I'm a little scared. I've been watching youtube videos and seen the different methods, and I'll try the condom method which loooks pretty easy. If that doesn't work I'll go on to trying the syringe method.

I'm a bit confused about the condom method though cause I've seen people do it from either end (battery or mouthpiece), which is better? I'm afraid to screw up the atomizer or battery if any liquid gets into them, but then again, I don't want any juice in my mouth if I do it through the mouthpiece.

I'll be refilling all the empty cartos I've vaped (quite a few by now) so they're pretty dry (not scorched) and I still don't know how many drops I should use...some say 8, other up to 20!!
I guess I'll have to experiment and do it on an trial and error basis.

I just hope to be able to do it because I'm on my LAST carto!!!!!!! and I'm getting a little anxious about it. I don't want to use any analogs

I know, I know, should've ordered more cartos...well, beginners mistake, no?

Heh...I've done it too. Congrats on the initiation!

 

[jbblack]

Make that another one. The boss just did her first refill with some of my DIY and did the same thing!

Any suggestions? I'm refilling tonight and I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks!

I always did it from the mouth end, but I don't think it really makes a difference for this method. As for number of drops, I never really measured it I just would fill the long cap up to just over half full and do it that way. If it was too much I'd just put the extra into a different carto.

My best advice when you use the condom method is to do it at night so the carto can sit and soak up all the juice while you're sleeping. Then in the morning everything is all set up and ready to go too.

Good luck!
