How to refill a cart?

[Terre]

I have tried refilling a cart but it leaks in my mouth. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to shove a needle way down in there or what?

I just dripped about 3 drops on a cart..and it leaks everytime I puff now.

Do you need to let them set for a while?

Which cigarette do you have, Terre? The carts are all a bit different. If your is a "mouthpiece with inner cart" type like the Evo then make sure that you don't drip between the air gap and the cartridge. You can easily judge this by eye.

I have a janty yentl. I bet the juice has went along the side instead of going into the actual filter. I gotta get me a syringe...

Thanks!

Where do I post this to get an answer. Kate! Where are you?

As with that demo using a syringe to squeeze out the juice of several cart. fillers at one time? Being smashed, are they still reusable? And how many times can you reuse the cart.?

This washing the filler and drying it? What is the benefit other than if you're going to use a different flavor?

Also, I read somewhere here or a site, when refilling/topping off carts., to blow very gently through mouthpiece to avoid sucking in drops of juice directly into mouth.

Hi Bug.

You can squeeze more than one cartridge filler at a time and they unsquish when you take them out of the syringe. They just fluff up again like sponge and they don't stick together.

They can be reused many times, for days apparently and you can wash them out to make them last longer. They seem to get a bit clogged after a while if you don't do that.

Washing the filler unclogs it or just removes an old flavour. You don't have to do it when swapping flavours if you like the mix.

It's only a certain type of cartridges that need to be blown through, I can't remember which ones they were. Maybe it was the disposable ones, don't know, sorry.

Hope that helps. Happy new year

Yes it does. Thanks Kate. One question: how do you wash them?

just gut the cart out and run it through a tap, then dry. I personally could never get this method to work. After I wash, dry, and refill the material never seems to wick the juice good enough. Even after I try to "fluff" it up with s pin. Hope it works out for you though!

the yentyl is not a good e-cig for topping up apparently. because the filler is way down in the mouthpiece you need a good aim and a steady hand to top up the cart. See Dustins video review of the yentyl and he mentions the same problem.

If your gonna top off the yentyl cart then a syringe would be beneficial.

ainako,

Are you answering my question on how to wash the cartridges? If so, I assume tap means the faucet? And with plain water? Does that remove all the stickiness from the juice?

No disrespect to your answer, but I will ask others how they do theirs. I'm hoping to see other's ways and what they think works the best. And thanks!

I think that's pretty much it Bug. I've never seen anyone mention doing it differently. Rinse 'em out with plain water, squeeze 'em, lay 'em out to dry. I learned that if you squeeze them out first they dry faster....but they tend to dry fast anyway.

I've just recently grabbed the supermini-I find it is best to saturate the cart and stand it up on end for awhile to let it soak

Adding to this. From what I have read here and makes sense. If done this way, gently blow on tip before using. Said it keeps drops of juice from ending in mouth and/or tongue.

Others I've read: don't let nicotine stay on skin and fingers; dangerous.

Then, there is so little nicotine in a cartridge that we actually get. Don't quote me here, I think added comment was, that's why some are getting much higher nic. content carts. to get the nicotine and throat hit?

Anyone know the truth to these? Curious but again, does make sense.
