How to Place Liquid in Cartridge

What kind of juice are you using? PG, or VG? I find some liquids absorb a lot better and some are like motor oil. With the motor oil, just be patient. Do 2 or 3 drops and look 2 minutes later and it should be absorbed, then repeat several times.

Basically, remove the wicking (dry, if necessary, with paper towel first, then 'fluff' it a little), snip in half, then trim one end to a point. Set aside.
Fill the empty cartridge almost to the top with juice, replace the wicking pointy end first, lightly tap down maybe 1/16 inch.
You'll find you won't be topping off as often, and when you do, be sure to add slowly (and not to the point that the juice pools on the wicking).
Sounds to me like your atomizer might be flooded. Take the atomizer off the battery, and remove the cartridge. Put the atomizer battery-end to your lips, and blow really hard into a paper towel, until no more fluid comes out. Put the whole thing back together, and try it again.
The way you describe the cart, sounds like it's fully saturated. If the e-cig still is not producing vapor, then either the atty is flooded (does it make a wet, gurgling sound when you draw on it?), or the atty is blown (dead).

I just checked out the site... looks a lot like the one I started with. Probably an exposed bridge atomizer. Blow it out and see if that helps. The battery isn't dead, is it? Make sure it's still got a charge.
I never had any luck filling carts. I always had the same problems and gave up. I tried the blue foam mod and using fluval, but neither worked for me. Now I use cartomizers or direct drip and both work wonderfully for me.
Ecigs generally come in 3 parts. Battery connects via threaded end to atomizer; cartridge fits into or over atomizer on the other end. The filler material in the cart holds your juice. There's nothing really holding that filler in place; you can just pull it out with tweezers if you want. You're a noob, so don't try modding a cart just yet... if there's liquid on the end of the cart (like, the filler looks wet), then you've got enough juice to vape.
Did blowing out the atomizer help?
There's an area here, the ECF library... check out the 6-part series, Wonderful World of Vaping. Best intro I know of. That'll have tips on how to refill cartridges, plus all the basics you'll need to get started on the right foot.

Super mini's, which we seem to be talking about here often have the "a frame" atty's that you slip a cartrige over. Siad cart is simply a piece of plastic with a large pin hole, then filler (foam, fluval, etc..) then the space you need to leave open for the atty to fit into. basically a glorified analog filter with a very small space for filler and liquid compared to other models.
That said, I use one and am delighted with it. Fantastic vapor, rivals larger models, east to refill but, you do need a miniscule piece of filler in there BEFORE adding juice. Her's how to do it and make it work:
Gert some blue foam - it workd perfectly. Take the blunt end of a wooden skewer, press the filler that comes in the carts down toward the small hole gently, add 3 drops juice, stuff your small piece of blue foam in, push it down so it will just clear the atty, add 3 more drops. Now enjoy
When you need entirely new filler, use a tiny bit of poly fill to replace the factory fill, then blue foam as above. Inexpensive, easy and much better than prefilleds for these super mini's that most seem to dislike.
I love them, just not so much as they come, they need a little help to be good PVs

Vaporing away right now.
Excellent. Glad to be of help.
Now for the bad news....
I'm afraid you might have fallen prey to one of the ever-present "scams" out there... check out the sticky in this forum about not ordering "free trials". I HIGHLY suggest you get out of it if you can. You're paying way, way, way too much. See the kits and offers from cignot, madvapes, or some of the other suppliers here, and do some price comparisons. Also note that none of them (to my knowledge) will try to set you up on some kind of recurring nightmare charge deal. Plus, the products are generally about 1,000% higher quality & they don't try to BS you. To give you an idea... I mix my own fluid now (I order flavorings, 100mg juice, PG, from various suppliers), and refill my carts. I go thru about 5 or 6 carts-worth of fluid a day, or about 150-180 carts a month. My juice bill (including flavorings, replacement empty carts for the ones that wear out, etc.) will probably total $350-400 for the next year.
BTW, I got suckered too... my first ecig was a "smokingstick" POS, but it got me to quit analogs, so I'm grateful (even if I did have to cancel my credit card to get the charges to stop).
Best of luck... and happy vaping!
