I am not doing so well with refilling or topping off. I seem to be putting too much in even if it is only a drop or 2 and then end up with it in my mouth and then get a nasty headache :(
I used the video and i am doing ok with the technical part , just really bad with judging *shrugs* I don't know what I am doing wrong
I have even let them sit over night made sure I put that little plug in the hole and the end piece on and used the plunger method as well.
I really don't like the headaches and I have done it 2 times now in the last week. I even try blowing it out onto a napkin and cleaning up the end hole so I am sure to get it all out.
When you blow on the mouth piece out the batery end onto a napkin shoudl You blow till there is no more juice?

Cimyss - you have to be very careful when blowing out through the mouth piece as it is real easy to land up blowing out most of your juice. I think there is a real learning curve here and I'm still on it myself. Sometimes I hit it bang on and then others ... nothing seems to work right. Either flood the atty, not enough juice, no vapor/taste, etc. I think it is just a matter of working with them until you get familiar enough to recognize the condition of the cart as to how empty it really is or, vice versa, how full it is! KC's vid helped a lot but still not getting it right with every fill. Will be re-calculating my costs again this weekend to determine if I am really winning or not with re-filling or if I just need to keep practicing until I get the real hang of it. But ... then again ... this IS FIsherPal talking ... the Queen of the Cartridge-Challenged!

That would be a hoot! I can see her whipping the tool to pry off the end out of her bra, then grabbing a paper towel from her bra, then a bottle of juice from her bra...

Then when she is done, stuffing the filled cart in her bra for later.... ;)

You crack me up fisherpal! :D

My dad used to say "if it's not broke, dont fix it".
That applies to carts. I don't consider topping them off or filling them till theyre, as my wife says "over" lol.
If theyre still producing vapor and flavor, theyre still workin. when i get a hint of burnt taste, or its evident that theyre not producing on a known good battery or passthrough, it's time to investigate juice options.

It's not a 901..it doesnt need topped off every 5 minutes haha ;) vapor production and flavor last from new till empty...a 901, as an example, seems different every time you hit it and needs frequent topping off to get it back to where you want it :(

I don't touch cartomizers that arent *empty* or so very nearly so the difference is negligable
