How do I put liquid in a cartridge?

[Jude Terror]

I have a new Safe Cig (supposedly the RN-4081). I've just ordered some liquid from Backwoods Brews based on recommendations in this forum to try out different and stronger flavors, but I'm not sure how to get the liquid in the device. It looks like I need to buy some blank cartridges? Do I need a special tool to fill them? Is it better to use a cartomizer or a separate atomizer and cartridge (which method produces more vapor)?

Is there a good place to get these accessories that will ship quickly?

Sorry for the noob questions. And my apologies for making a thread for something that I'm sure is discussed already somewhere here. I did try searching.

Jude I assume the safe cig came with cartomizers. If so grab a used cartomizer put a tine from a fork in the plastic hole and pry the cap off. Drip liguid onto filler (not down the center hole) about 10 drops replace cap screw onto battery and vape

It's that easy? Awesome. I will try this when I use up my first cartomizer. How many times can they be reused?

A much better way to fill

There's a lot of information in the sticky threads on cartomizers here in this forum

Is it a 2 piece with a battery and cartomizer, or a 3 piece with battery, atomizer and cartridge?

 

[Jude Terror]

It's the two piece, but from what I understand from reading around here, the Safe Cig is a RN4081, which can work as either (if I understand correctly). But what I have are cartomizers.

That's incredible. What the heck is that guy using, it gives off way more vapor than mine! I want one.

Hey Jude I think he was using a "stick" http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ivapour-uk/61183-janty-stick-v3.html

Pull of the rubber cap with a small flat screewdriver or knife, then add your drops and replace

I don't think the RN4081 cartomizers are the soft cap type but you can still refill them easily. Just drip the juice into the hole in the battery connection end. I know it's small but it will go through there. About 10-12 drops or so should about fill it. Once you get enough into it just blow through it from the mouthpiece end onto a tissue or paper towel to get any excess out. Wipe off the threads to get any juice off, then put it on your battery and puff away. You can buy blank's, that's what unfilled cartomizers are called, from some of the vendors on the supplier list at the bottom of the ECF main page.

Why not just do a condom fill?

I used to do the condom fill, but I realized that it's easier, and quicker, to pop off the mouthpiece and drip onto the filler directly. no flooding, and no guessing if the carto can take more juice. Just my opinion.

Ok, I popped one of the caps off and it seems easy enough. I'll experiment with the different methods. Is there any difference between using the cartomizers and using a separate atomizer? Would using the separate pieces produce more vapor?
