In Case Anyone Is Interested . . . (Refilling Cartos)

[Lina]

I also read that the Ink Cart Refill syringes work great too and they are BLUNT tips so you do not have to be so nervous when using the syringe....I found some on ebay but also heard you can get them at staples -

here is a link to an ebay auction:

Thanks for the link, Lina because the only ones I saw at Staples either had the ink in them already or they were ridiculously expensive ($16 or $20 EACH from what I recall).

Wow, I think I paid 13.00 including shipping for 100 of them

 

[Lina]

where did you get such a good price?

 

[lonercom]

the whatchamacallit net or something like that.

If you're really interested, PM me and I'll do some digging. But you might be able to pick up a few at the local drugstore.

Unfortunately, we all had the bad taste to get addicted to a legal drug. Otherwise I'd suggest the local methadone clinic. But you have to be addicted to illegal substances to qualify for reduced risk alternatives.

I just now inserted the needle through the mouthpiece-end stopper hole, without having to remove it at all, and injected a little less than 0.25 ml as far down and away from the center as possible, and I'm getting good results.

Are you all having to remove the stoppoer and O-ring every time? The way I did it could possibly break the atomizer wire once in a blue moon, I don't know, but for now that seems to work well.

 

[lonercom]

Nope, only when I vape a carto dry. That's the great thing about these little monsters. Whatever works best for you is the best way to do it.

Thanks Yanks! I finally just ordered

Thanks Yanks! I finally just ordered

I got mine on Friday.

For now I'm just using them as I would the dropper bottles (popping the tops and dripping) and it does make a difference at least to me because it allows the drops to be much smaller and it allows you to be more precise with where you drip. Oftentimes when I would drip from the regular bottles a drop would be too big and would get into the middle of the carto and drip down the middle

It's not as ideal as a syringe because you don't know know how many mls are going in but again, it does help me - I don't regret my purchase.

The only thing is I didn't realize that the needle part does not come with a cap so I'm going to order some - you have to order 50 so if you didn't order caps for the needles Luda let me know and I will mail you some.

Thanks Yanks... I didn't order caps, but I got 50, so maybe they come with? I'll message you when I get them to let you know. Thanks again!

For everyone who uses needle refill methods and happens to either have a ml or cc measurement on the needle:

How much liquid does an entirely empty premium cartomizer hold without flooding?

If you know what the capacity difference is between the non-premium and premium blanks I would be interested to know too.

Thanks everyone!

I would be interested in hearing the answer to the measurement question posed by Burnt-Toast as well. Anyone?
