How do you make sure your carts are completely saturated?

So I've got this awful tasting atty due to not staying on top of my carts. However, when I fill top them off after some heavy usage, it pools up after 2 or three drops. So my question to you is how do you keep your carts completely saturated? Is a syringe really necessary? I don't like the idea of having one, much less having my mom find it and think I'm a junky. Thanks

Ya I tried that in a couple of my carts. I may have been doing it wrong but it didn't do a whole lot for me. Plus I don't like the idea of having to spend a lot of time modding each cart. It would just be easier to top off I think. But I'm wondering if I really need a syringe Thansk tho for spending the time to show me the link
Squishing the poly helps, but I find there's nothing better than filling from the bottom with a syringe. You could try filling a bunch that way at home, and then put several filled carts in a tiny baggy to take with you when you're out and about. Or check out the small cases that are made for small electronics such as jump drives.

Is there any local stores that sell syringes? I really don't feel comfortable keeping a syringe around it my room
Pin Point Oil Dispenser - DSP


Hello y11:

I really don't like the syringes around either. Awhile back Tinear reccomended this: Pin Point Oil Dispenser - DSP It works great for me. They come with a little cap not pictured in the photo.

About those cartridges not filling, I think the higher temperatures of the newer vaporizers just thicken the liquid in the carts quicker now. I believe the thickened liquid in the fibers stops the new liquid from being absorbed into it. Washing or replacing the cartridge fiber, or just a new cartridge seems to be the answer for me.

When replacing the fiber in the cartridges, The quilt batting on a bolt in a fabric store is the closest to what the cartridges come with. It is also easy to buy a small amount (1/4 or 1/2 yard). Some here buy a (big) bag of pillow stuffing (very fluffy, with loose fibers, and not layered). Funny to think of men with a big bag of pillow stuffing in their closet. Tee, hee.

You can purchase syringes from any drug store. They have to sell them to you as well due some law we have. The jist of it is that they would rather sell clean syringes than have people sharing needles.

Just please be very careful not to stick yourself and inject any fluid!! Oh, and keep em locked up. Kids love to play doctor, and nothing is better then REAL toys. All my vaping supplies and stuff like that is under lock and key at my house. Though, I have 4 kids and they are all 5 or younger, so it is a must for me.

It depends on where you live - some states have restrictions.
Bear in mind you can't use 'typical' pharmacy needles, such as for insulin. They're too small to suck up the e-juice. 20gauge should work for PG and for mixes with, I'd say at most 50% VG. For VG liquid 17gauge works.

Veterinary suppliers are a good source. If you can't find a local source, Revival Animal Health has them (item #47-334). They're cheap, and come with needle covers. For VG I bought a couple from JuicyLiquids.

Antebellum, you really smoked 4 packs a day? Wow! I rarely hit that, and I did a good job of chainsmoking all day including at work.

Well, I bought four packs per day. Seldom was I was without a cigarette. I would sometimes absent-mindedly liight another while the first was still smoldering. I'd sometimes sacrifice a cigarette - lighting it when I knew that I'd be only be able to take two or three puffs before an engagement. And I kept packs stashed all over the place. It was never difficult to "accidentally" discover another pack of cigarettes. :)

In fact, I'm still finding new and partially smoked packs in the nooks and crannies.

Now that sounds very much like my old routine.
