If you are desparate, and don't have the syringe yet, you can try what I did a few days ago. I'm still having success with it - the only difference is, I'm now refilling it by dripping directly onto the hole at the battery connection end. Working fine so far. Once the syringe I ordered comes in, I'll probably use that for the initial fill, though. The condom fill method will work in a pinch.

I'm looking in the center and it looks like a white filler maybe and a hole through it. I have a syringe and it is a 510 I got from mad vapes. I't not a small hole. Does the liquid just sit there and not run through. Boy oh Boy this is new to me. lol

If you were able to remove a white rubber mouth end cap, then you have a carto that's easy to fill by just dripping the liquid from your bottle into the filler. You don't need to use a syringe. The liquid won't run through, especially if you hold the carto at a 45-degree angle when dripping into the filler. Liquid that goes down the center hole will seep sideways into the filler. Let the liquid soak into the filler until you see a drop or a tiny bit of liquid coming out of the hole at the threaded end. Then you'll know it's full enough.

Empty new cartos will take 20 to 30 drops, depending on how thick your liquid is.

When refilling cartos, if you didn't vape them completely dry (that is, you vaped the carto until the flavor tapered off), it will take about 15 to 20 drops.

The best way is to fill the filler with liquid until you see a little liquid in the hole at the threaded end.
 
Hey there, here is only a tip, when you refill the carto, please make sure the battery and carto is separated, and don't drop too much, if you put too much liquid, it leads to leakage, what's worse, if the liquid leaks to the battery, it will totally ruin the battery.
Hey, what is the proper amount of liquid?

Hi Fox, 1ml is enough for regular carto, 2ml is fine for XL cartomizer, it's gonna leak if you drop too much.

Hey bud. Another tip to use (so your not wasting eliquid) is take a spare bottle and put the carto (screw end) down into the bottle top. Then, when your dropping the drops into the polyfill carto (the white filler) twist the cartomizer clock wise every drop. that way, your making sure it soaks the entire carto not just half of it. plus, your giving the other drops time to seep into the rest of the polyfill. Continue clock wise per drop for 15-20 drops. Once it stops seeping, stop dripping. Keep the carto on the bottle for about 5 minutes and when you come back, put the white tip back on and wipe it off with a paper towel. When your done wiping it off, put the white rubber end in your mouth and hold a paper towel under the screw end and blow hard until all the excess eliquid comes out. Wipe the screw end off, twist onto your battery and BAM you got an awesome cartomizer completely filled 8)
