I found out why my KR808D-1 cartomizers are leaking juice all of the time!!!!

YouTube - How-to guide to refilling KR808D-1 or Vapor King cartomizers
My cartomizers don't have the "rubber stopper" at 2:27
And the white "caps" on mine don't have the ring on the underside!! They're just flat!!
What is wrong with the cartomizers I'm using??
They come from Red Dragon

They work AMAZINGLY WELL until I try to refill them.. then, no matter what method I use, I get juice leaking into my mouth and very difficult draws...

I thought all KR808D-1 cartomizers were the same... ???

This guy is using 15+ drops!! I can't go over three!!

If you can't get more than 3 drops into a cartomizer without juice leaking, it's user error. It's not the cartomizers.

All cartomizers are not the same, but have the same general idea and aesthetic. Either way, a cartomizer which is empty can surely take more than 3 drops.

What I do is, I fill until the filling looks moist (one drop at a time, turning the cartomizer, keeping it at a roughly 45 degree angle). Then wait a moment for the juice to absorb. Add a few more, and so on.

When I am done, I take a tissue, put the white end in my mouth, the silver end in the kleenex and blow for a second. That'll stop the juice from getting in your mouth.

I put 35 drops in mine, and actually remove the rubber ring thing, because it takes .324 sec. to remove it next time I refill.

.324 seconds twice each time you fill your cartomizer!! think about how much that adds up to in a lifetime. possibly minutes that I will never get back.

LOL I jest about the time savings, but I do throw away the rings, I know some people that "stove pipe" them, and leave all the caps off. Still dont leak juice.

Sounds like user error to me also sorry to say.

If you haven't seen this, I would suggest you watch it. Drastically improved cartos for me.

Something is drastically wrong here.. I tried all of the popular methods and the carts just won't take anywhere near that much juice... I've been getting 10+ drops into them, now, by using a syringe but the vapor production isn't very good now .... Sigh

I think these carts aren't working right or made right

They MAY be a bad lot of cartos.

I have had some that were just "bad". They were HOT, wouldn't take juice, and were just generally awful. I have used LOTS of KR8 cartos, and MOST work perfectly well.
