This vid is for anybody wondering how to refill cartomizers. There are many methods for filling cartos, such as condom, taryn spin, or even syringes. I find the condom method along with a Taryn Spin is a little too messy, syringes freak me out, and most of all I hate wasting e-liquid.

I used a freshly cleaned carto for this vid and generally do not put the maximum amount of juice in them. I only fill a carto while it is removed from the battery, just in case of overfilling. Manual batteries are preferred for juicing, their design prevents them from allowing juice to enter into the battery from the post connection and shorting them out.

You can use an Auto Battery, I have 100's of times if not more. You just have to make sure that Carto connector is completely dry before attaching the Carto.

YouTube - Refilling Cartomizers

The more you use a carto, the less juice it will absorb so it's always a good idea to make sure that the air tube/hole is clear of any juice by visually inspecting it. If there is light on the other side of the air tube...you're good to go. Over-filling will saturate the wick, flooding the air tube resulting in either leakage or a shot of hot juice on the tip of your tongue. :(

To freshen a carto or topping off, everything is the same just not as many droplets. They key is to apply the droplets to the inside of the carto housing, not the polyfill. Victory lap, hold steady, drip.

You can drip directly into the Drip Tip, but I prefer to simply remove it. Love those Drip Tips!

Ah shucks Keyzy! I didn't want to scare anybody, I have a face that makes small children cry. I thought it might help out a few of the folks on the fence about refilling. Did you see you are all listed at the very end? I might have to bring that rolling scroll in a little it takes a few seconds. Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.
