Ifinally ordered Juice.

[katz-in-boots]

Darn, don't you hate it when the typo is in the thread title and you can't edit it!?
I was never going to do this cartomizer filling thing, I was never going to refill, it was only ever going to be prefills. Gradually I have been 'gently encouraged' to at least try filling my own, and I am glad/sad to say I am going to do it.

Already I have the syringes & blunt needles I ordered - still feels wrong having these things in the house. A bottle of glycerine from topping up dry cartos from my last order. A miniature bottle of vodka for upping TH. Now I have finally ordered juices & blank cartos.

I went with 2 x Wow juices, both wow & cool carts, so I can compare how the wow juices are in each type.

How I am going to explain all this to my hubby, I don't know. I need that lockable rolltop desk so I can do all my 'stuff' and lock it out of his disapproving sight. [He approves of my not smoking, he disapproves that I am still vaping and showing no signs of stopping. He doesn't like that I have a new addiction.]

So there it is, I have been dragged kicking & screaming gently encouraged into the world of filling my own cartomizers. I'll let y'all know how my adventures in juicing go.
If anyone mentions dripping, I am out of here

Woohooo you go Katz! Though I don't have all that stuff LOL I just use the taryn spin and juices......but I am going to get a syringe if I ever get my lazy .... to the farm supply store (less than a block away LOL)

 

[Mookelboo]

My hubby is the exact same way!! He says I inhale "this thing" so much more than I ever smoked!!! He doesn't even care that I'm down to 0% nic 85% of the time. 

Let us know how it goes Ms. Katz.

Katz, Brandi, some hubby's don't quite understand what you're going through right now. It'll be okay. My hubby is different in the fact he did used ta smoke & knows what it's like when nothing works to quit. He's seen me with the patches, chantix episodes , gums etc...Right now, he's ticked pink I'm doing this ! He gets just a big of a kick out of my packages as I do. He doesn't care how long I do this or if I'm gonna quit vaping. All he cares about is that I'm happier & healthier than I ever was smoking them nasty cigs. Give it time, they'll come around ♥

 

[AG51]

Oh yeah...Happy Filling Katz !!

 

[Glam]

Katz--I am so proud of you. And you will really like the control you have filling your own--topping off and not having to throw the carto away after using once. Please keep us informed of your progess.

Thanks everyone for the support! I know some people have thought my resistance to filling my own was a bit short-sighted.

I've missed something...vodka increases the th?? Really?? How much do I use? * hiccup *

Apparently. I've only tried it once. I have two batteries of another brand that seem to be lower voltage and do not produce much TH, so I added some vodka. The recommendation in another thread was a couple of drops, but I made a mess of it & it was more like a couple of dribbles. Blew the excess out the end, eugh. The carto didn't last a lot longer, but yeah, there was a difference.

Hey, I forgot to mention, I also ordered a manual battery, a light green shorty from the bargain bin. Everyone says you should check out newly filled cartos on a manual to avoid killing your autos.
I've resisted trying manual batteries as much as the rest of the process, but I figured 'in for a penny, in for a pound', or 'may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb' or any other metaphors you'd like me to add.

Anyways, it'll take 1-2 weeks before all this stuff gets here, so it'll be a while before I update my progress.

No one was a more reluctant DIY filler than me, Katz. Took me a year to try it--now, I'd never go back. Congrats!

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

Katz.I did it this week and in ca you cant get the syringes so i just used mr.snows drip method ..no biggies at all ,you'll be fine !

 

[Rick07]

"Already I have the syringes & blunt needles I ordered" Actually you need a sharp/beveled needle to properly fill a cart.

 

[hairball]

I've missed something...vodka increases the th?? Really?? How much do I use? * hiccup *

In a 3ml bottle, just a couple of drops to start then top off bottle with your juice. Add more to desired burn level.

Katz, my hubby thinks my horrible mood swings that I've been having has been because of using my PV. It hasn't dawned on him that I'm in agonizing pain in my right wrist and arm due to a work injury. My vaping has been the only thing to stop me from ripping heads off....duh!!!

Katz, you'll find filling a better option. You can't get all the yummy flavors in pre-filleds.

 

[Mary Kay]

Good Onya Mate!

 

[jbmcdan]

congrats,katz! you may even find it fun -- I've been playing mad scientist with juices lately and the experimenting is fun!

Oh, and, congratulations on your next endeavors, sweetheart!!

 

[uzzaperez]

Wow that's a lot of emoticons. I'm always so impressed by the dancing bananas! luvit.

Anyway, congrats. You won't be going back. And soon you'll toss the syringe, forget about taryn spinning, and wonder what you had against just dripping 30 or 40 drops in, letting it soak 10 minutes or so, dabbing the top off, and then having the best vape you've ever gotten out of a cartomizer. V4L blanks and Wow juices are still the best thing out there, at least for vapers that like to keep the juice inside the PV.

 

[Joyce]

Congratz, katz!

I was just like you. I was never gonna fill, and then I saw a video, and it looked so easy, and it was so much cheaper, and I tried it...and it tasted AWESOME...but never was gonna use a syringe, nope no way, no how.

Next thing you know, I'm standing at the counter of my local tractor supply, furtively asking for a pack of 18 gauge needles, and looking around to see if any of my neighbors were there.

No, there's no turning back.

 

[plantlvr]

Good for ya Katz! As for the 'disapproving husband' bah! Tell him you will start smoking again, that will get him
Hope it all goes well for you!
