I've got a bunch of spent cartridges from my VaporKing and decided to buy several bottles of different flavors from Litecigusa. How many drops do you normally put into one of these cartridges? Leave them sit over night or do you use them right away? I'm also considering a different kit that's more drip friendly to use at home and use my VaporKing when I'm out. Suggestions? I'm very new at this, but love this stuff!

I can normally get about 10-15 drops in a cart. You want to drip one drop at a time, let it move down into the filler then drop again until you can see the top of your filler is wet.... you can use a toothpick or unbent paperclip to move the filler a bit so the juice goes down easier. I like to let them set over night and only use filled carts when I'm on the go, other than that I drip on my atty ...I have a 510 manual battery and highly recommend it :D

Hi,

I think once the hesitation of making a mistake wears off you'll find you can:

Take the plastic tip and rubber washer off the cart, then partially place the the cart in its rubber shipping cover (like just a 1/4 inch insertion leaving a generious empty space beneath...

now with it set up like this with a reservoir to catch any excess juice you can just filler up---

any extra juice gets caught in the cap, plus you can squeeze the empty rubber shipping cover and work the juice a bit....

I squeeze the the shipping cap (once the juice is added) then cover the cart mouth with my finger tip--release the pressure on the rubber shipping cap---take my finger off the cart's open mouth, and watch as the extra juice gets sucked down...

Might as well have some fun...eh?

Need a picture?

Anyway, This is my technique, and I suck up the overage from the rubber shipping caps with a pipette and squirt it back in my juice bottles,,,

PERFECT

no need to be fussy


Regards

Hi,

We're talking kr808D-1s here of course..(cart and atomizer in one package)

Never owned a 510,

To be frank, the carts may or may not last a good long while, however I drip to freshen them after 20 puffs or so.

If you vape them dry it burns the wick and that's the end of that cart...

I have carts still working great since day one. That's 18 days ago now.

I have ordered more carts and will just toss my veterans they've done their duty....

Carts can last for several vape sessions, but why risk a burn?

As aside note to Nebula/VK users, be sure the center hole is juice free before putting the caps back on...

Hold them up to a light and look, and just blow to clear the center if it is blocked, use a tissue to catch the excess...

No dead Bats yet, so the fill method seems to work pretty darn well.

Regards

PS. I'm in Vegas too, pm me if you'd offer me a 510 test drive, I'm curious.

I'll let you try my KR808D-1 they're pretty sweet too...regards

I have a 510 and I can only get like 5 o 6 drops on cart before its capped how long shold I be waiting in between drops?
If you are just topping off a cartridge you have been using, that is not totally unusual.

If you want to get more drops in, or utilize the liquid in the cartridge more efficiently, there are a number of different ways that people use to accomplish that, probably too many to list. There are different filler materials to use, different ways to use them, different ways to fill cartridges, different modifications like the straw mod, and stupid things like the windmill method even.

Just recieved 6 different 10ml flavors from litecigusa (Great service). First cartridge I put 12 drops in and it over filled all over the place . Threw it out and put 6 drops in the next one. Seems to work. No leaks and after a few hits the flavor started coming threw. Very nice. Got a vanilla one i'm going to let sit overnight. This is outstanding. Gonna get a larger case to carry more carts. Thanks again

I am still using the same cart I started with on one of my flavors. I just keep it wet. Just put a few drops until it stops absorbing. I usually drop one in the atty too. I used to think I was going to keep track of how many mg's I was getting, but that's just not necessary.

www.healthnz.co.nz/cancerrisk.htm Go here and read all about the amount of nicotine we get from the e-cig. It's about 1/10th compared to an analog.
