[gadabout]

i jus bought a fuma 2 weeks ago.imnew and dumb to all this..so i thought i would ask. i hear that u can use juice on a fuma cartridge to refill it. i like the fuma..jus not the flavor. i have smoked 2 packs a day for 15 yrs..and since the fuma, i only smoke 2 cigs a day. so im really hoping to get some options here thanks

There are some other post on there about the fuma, but I dont know how to link it too you. But from what I was reading quickly. It seems like You need an adpater to convert you threads to a kr808 and you can use some 808 cartos and refill them. When I watch a review on the fuma it looks like it's a carto so you should be able to pop the white rubber piece off the carto and drip some juice in there. Someone correct me if I'm work. I personally only used a kr808 for 2 weeks and refilled some carts before I switched to the ego

I am not familiar with Fuma, the web site does not have very good pictures of the product. It appears to be a KR808D-1 if so it should be easy to refill with e-juice. Vapor4Life is a very popular retailer of KR808D-1 here on the boards.

To refill there should be a hard or soft cap in the end of the mouth part of the atomizer, remove that then there may be another plug farther down in, carefully remove it with a bent paper clip, there is probably a wire right under if if you think you have hooked the wire reposition your paperclip to try and avoid it.

There should then be a filler inside that looks like the polly batting in a pillow, drip e-juice into the filler until it stays wet on top the "slushy" look. You don't need to replace the inner plug but should replace the one at the mouth part then reinstall it and vape away.

Edit:
After a little research it appers that it is a KR808D-2 which is very popular among rebranders who try to lock up into an ecig that is hard to find parts for so you have to go back to them. But you can find D-2 to D-1 adapters at many of the forum suppliers web sites thus making your battery D-1 compatible which is a very popular model amongst forum members.

If your model is a 2-piece (the juice part aka cartomizer screws on)
If you can pop the mouth end cap out of the carto
Then you can add liquid

If you cannot pop it out, try some blank KR808D-2 cartos from Vaporkings.com (no relation to Vapor4Life's vapor King)
BTW you can get cheap KR808D-2 parts at AZSmokeFree.com

And a warning - you undoubtedly have auto batteries. Cartomizer leaks can damage or kill auto batteries much more easily. if you add juice to a carto make sure it is not going to leak before putting it back on the battery

---

If you have a 3-piece that is battery+atomizer+cartridge then yes you can probably add juice to the cartridges. If they push on OVER the atomizer then that is the kind you need to push up the juice cup first by sticking a paper clip leg into the mouth mouth hole. Then you add some liquid (not too much!) and then you need to make sure the stuffing is at the top of the juice cup and get the juice cup back down into the mouthpiece without pressing on the stuffing.

hello fellow Ohioan! I started with a Fuma in '09 but only used it for a week. some time later my brother figured out the carts could be refilled. if I remember properly, you pop the white plastic part of the mouth end of the carto and there should be a clear rubber o-ring type thing in there which really I'm not sure if you need to remove that. as per instructions above, drip liquid on the 'cotton' until it starts to look damp and 'slushy' and put it back together. I think you're supposed to let them sit for a while (on various sides, per dormouse on other threads), maybe 15 mins while the juice soaks all the way into the cotton filler and then you just gotta wipe the threads with a paper towel, make sure there aren't any leaks, and start vaping. also, don't use the carts after they dry up or you'll burn the cotton filler in there and have a burnt taste forever. plenty of threads on carto care here on ecf. I'm not much of a carto guy, as I mostly drip.

wow! thanks everyone for the info. i always smoked menthol..and these fuma menthol cart tastes very minty sweet. mine is a two piece..and a rubber piece at end of cart. so now i can look into just buying juice and finding something i like better for flavor. like i said earlier..im just 2 weeks into this and dont know too much. but am very impressed how much my desire for a reg cig has disappeared! 2 packs a day..to 2 cigs a day! am also looking for a good brand of ecig to look into, for something better, good vape..flavor,and batt. but again..thanks everyone

If those are like SLB cartos with the inner seal and a fat wad of stuffing and no defined central air channel then they may not be that great for refilling. I have one pack of SLB cartos and they get hard to drag,

good luck, but remember to keep a stock of new cartos around as they don't last very long. they were meant to be disposable.

when you're ready to look into an upgrade, check out the Joye 510 or eGo. 510 is slim like the fuma (actually it's skinnier..more like a real cig, but longer) a standard starter kit will come with 2 complete e-cigs and 5 refillable carts. I think someone on the forum mentioned you can buy 510 carto kits as well but I don't know where you can get those.

I do know I got my 510 kit from cignot, 2 batts, 2 attys, 5 carts, 2 5ml bottles of juice, an ac charger, and a pcc for $65 from cignot. you can get the same kit without the pcc for $35. if you prefer cartos, you can get a 5pk prefilled menthol for $8 as from her as well. (I only vaped menthol for the first 2 weeks, but Joye Menthol is what's in the cartos and it's my menthol of choice after smoking camel menthol crush for so long)

manual batteries are suggested of course, and you'll find the draw in MUCH easier than on the Fuma. don't forget to experiment with juice flavors. happy vaping!
