Leaford,

Your Carts are high quality and can be reused many times.. Is it possible to put the same tech in something cheaper so carts can be sold cheaper? I would much rather find a good flavor in a good prefilled cheap one-use cart. Use once and then throw away without wondering if I am being wasteful.

Convenience Factor 11!

14 or 15 in a pack for $9.99 would be an amazing price point and I would even do a weekly subscription plan.

A more disposable version? Let me think about that.

Be sure to keep with the intent of this contest -- to make a video that can be used to show a blind person how to fill their cartos. :)

Here is my script for my video I am working on:

[set scene: kitchen table, bloog laying beside a box of carts]

Step 1: Take out new inexpensive one-use disposable cartomizer
Step 2: unscrew old cart and screw on new cart.
Step 3: vape away and smile. When done return to step 1.

[FADE OUT]

Ya I thought about it for a while and figured it is too hard. There are ways for sure but it is just sooo hard to explain.

This is my method for filling my cartos. This is how I normally do it but it would also work for a blind person. I can't imagine what its like to be blind. I know its different than just trying to do something with your eyes closed. I have gotten a lot of help from ECF, sixty-five days analog free, so now maybe I can help someone else. And a store credit is nothing to sneeze at either. So here it is.

I should think filling is not the greatest challenge per se. It's maybe knowing how empty that carto is. I mean you don't want to vape until you taste nasty or burn something in there because you'll taste that remnants of burnt taste later and shorten the life or at least the quality of the carto. But if you misjudge how much is in there currently you will definitely overfill. Well inevitably you will overfill at some point so I would add some steps about blowing through it gently to see if it gurgles, then if it does how to clear it. Generally I think you maybe cannot tell how much juice is left in a non-overfilled carto easily but you could learn how to clear one and tell if its cleared just by the "feel" of blowing through it. Also, while the notches are quite clever I think we underestimate how advanced their sense of feel has become from being blind. I'm willing to bet that they could simply feel with a good degree of accuracy how far out they've pulled it. Even I do that already as the numbers have long since worn off of my 1ml syringe and I barely bother to look at it anymore. I usually use a blunt needle and sitck it down the side between the polyfill and the metal and inject. I find it less messy than the carto method and I can suck up any excess quickly with the syringe. That part of it doesn't work well if your blind and cant see the juice pooling but you could still easily use a blunt tipped syringe by feel as well and not need the condom method which occasionally leaves juice left in the bottom of said condom which you wouldnt be able to see but would be all over the carto once you put that condom back on the carto. Yeah, I know, put it in a video but I don't do the video thing. So I'll throw my two cents out there for whomever might be considering making a video.

My reasons for why I used the steps I did seem solid to me, but I'm always open to critique (until I become perfect, at which time further comment will not be tolerated.:closedeyes:)

I started with Bloog cartos at the time there was a thread about possibly burning them and the potential health hazards. So I seldom if ever vape them dry. I can tell when they are getting low by the feel of the draw and throat hit. No need to see anything. Also why I only use about half the amount they actually hold when I refill. Unless I've forgotten that I already filled a carto, I never get the overfill problems.

I thought a blunt needle was a bad idea. One, it is still metal, and while it won't easily puncture there is a possibility of injury (more I would assume if you are blind.) Two, depending on the thickness of the juice it can be a real pain to draw into the syringe. Without the needle those problems are eliminated. And the notch was something I could feel. mOjO, my syringe is like yours. Numbers have been gone (I hope I didn't vape them.) I normally just eyeball it when I refill. Not something I'd expect a blind person to do.

Lastly, I think I forgot to say always wipe the carto after filling and rinse the condom. One of those things you just do without thinking about it. And if you're not overfilling, its been my experience that filling from the batery end really cuts down on the residue.
