Thanks Mmc and newbie nancy (that's kind of a catchy nick too)!

As for being a professional videographer....well if V4L offers me the job :nun: I'll take it. I just want help out our fellow family members and happen to have the camera and software to do it. There is a ton of videos out there about vaping, but most of them are garbage, many are full of either bad or outdated info, and very few are V4L specific.

As well, the bulk of them seem to focus on the person and not the subject matter which bothers me. When I watch an instructional video I want to see what they are talking about, with some form of coherent narration, and not just them blabbing into the camera. As my wife will gladly share with anyone, my ego needs no further inflating :rolleyes: so I try to keep my videos all about the subject at hand with easy to follow narration.

I think most of us by nature are visual creatures and many family members new and old want to attempt fixes or refilling etc. etc. But perhaps they maybe a little apprehensive so actually seeing it done gives them that little added boost of confidence to attempt it.

I'm working on an all inclusive video of refilling techniques that will include Syringe Filling. :thumb:

I started with the condom method, got some blunt tipped syringes (don't trust myself with sharps and shaky hands) and now I just buy blanks and drip right from the bottle. I'll drip some in, let it rest, drip some more, and repeat one more time. It is simple and works for me. I can tell when the carto is filled by now.

LOL at the condom method now though... an awful way to go IMO. We all find the groove that works for us.

So can I count on you nomatches? Will you join me and thousands of others like minded juicers by joining our awareness campaign? It's time take our message across the web and vaping world and stop this messy, time consuming, waste of good juice.

I must admit.. I've condom filled, on several occasions. (hangs head in shame)

I avoided a lot of the wasted juice by doing it at night, push the carto down into the condom, and leave it till morning. Gives it time for the filler to soak up all of the juice, and there's very little left in the condom when it's removed.

It's still messy, though. I need to find some syringes. I'm convinced it's got to be the best possible way to do this, but I've yet to find any locally.

I hate to comment's on this kind of thing, but what I do want to say is that you CAN do a great job filling using a condom method, BUT like the guy said, and I believe this is Leaford on the video, you need 1 filled condom, push it down and once it is filled, let it sit for 1 hour to 2 hours. Once it is done sitting, gently suck on the carto, if you hear a gurgling then you lightly blow into a paper towel. Once the gurgling is gone, then blow out the threads, there no leaky cartos killing batteries.
