Hello vapers...

When i first started vaping, i always have problem with cartos getting burnt taste or taste turning wierd so i have learnt to refill more often. But the question is how often? I have been refilling like almost everytime in between vaping, because i dont want the taste to change. But by doing that I also end up wasting a lot of juice.

I refill from the top into the filler and because i am only guessing how full it is, sometimes i put too much, the juice comes out the other end. Also even if i refill often, the taste still change on me...grrrrr......

I know there are different kinds of cartos, and so far i have the bloogs, the boge LR, ce2. But if you can tell me what you use, and how often you refill. So i know whether i am doing right, or totally wrong.

First off you need to have a carto condum on the bottom so the juice don't leak out. When you get your carto look at the condum on the battery end. It will either have a plug attached, a plug in the hole (un-attached), or a nub. Which ever one it has, put it back on when you refill them. What I do is put the juice in and let them stand up on the table about 5 min. then I take my bottle, squeeze it, then stick it back in the carto and let it go. It sucks the excess juice back into the bottle. That way I don't lose any.
With the CE2 I think your filling them too full or doing it wrong. You shouldn't have any coming out the other end. I don't care for them. I have some and they have a way to go yet. I use Ikenvapes. Fusion or Drip Tip 510s. Both last about 3 weeks and put out better flavor and vapor. But he is out.

coughingbad,
I use the boge 510 lr carto's and fill them using the condom method. I have used the dripping method, as you are doing, and filling with a syringe--the condom method is by far,imo, the best way to get the most juice in a carto, especially without wasting any juice with over filling.
I get about 1ml of juice in a new carto and about 3/4ml on refills--sometimes more...depending on how dry I let it get. I refill the moment I get an off-taste, which is usually every 2 hours; but that all depends how heavy you vape.
There are many videos on youtube showing this method if you don't know this method.
good luck

Oh yeah you are right 5card, the juice doesnt come out the other end of the ce2, on a new ce2, i also refill often but most times its already full, but still the taste can change within an hour. ahhh never thought of using that plug when filling up juice thanks for that suggestion, i wouldnt think to use it outside of home though, i am too clumpsy..:blush:

gator: yes i actually started vaping using the condom method, but these days i drip from the top because its easier, also some people on this forum has suggested trying this to get better flavor :confused:. So 2 hours.. thanks, i really like to know those numbers.

keyzygirl: yeah thats pretty much what i am doing now. I just thought maybe i was refilling too often.

Thanks for all the reponses!!
