Is there a way to drain/empty a refill cartridge?

[GSHARQ]

So my Vapor King eTank series cig came today. It was supposed to come with 5 empty cartridges, but instead it came with 5 cartridges fill with high strength tobacco liquid. I don't want to use the tobacco liquid because it's too strong and I don't really like tobacco.

Is there any way to drain or empty the filled cartridges (without vaping them) so that I can put my own liquid in them?

Did you get it from Vapor King or Vapor Kings?

Is it this?
A package of 5 clear 510-T tank cartridges (Genuine Joye!)

I think those are the same ones, but not 100% sure. I didn't buy it directly from Vapor Kings, I bought it from a 3rd party vendor. These are the ones I am referring to:

Are they tanks? You have your syringe? I never used them but I would install one on the atty to pierce it, then take it off the atty, then use a thin syringe through the hole to suck out the juice, then using the syringe I would flush it with water or vodka then suck out as much as I can and let it dry?


If you are actually talking about carts aka cartridges that go on an atomizer - I would remove the stuffing and rinse both the stuffing and and cartridge, dry cart with a q-tip, press the stuffing dry between paper towels, re-fluff it and put it back in

If cartomizers, you can spin out much of the juice.

Unfortunately, I don't have a syringe. I don't even know where I would buy something like that.

You should be able to pry the cap off and rinse it with hot water. Your atty might still taste a little like the tobacco juice. You could do the same to the atty or put a couple drops of your new juice on it.

Do you know any diabetics? Because I don't think a drug store will just sell you a syringe. Most people buy them at ecig hardware and DIY eliquid shops and most are blunt. A couple of reservoir cartomizers need a sharp kind and some vendors see sharps. Blunt should work for you. Like Madvapes, Gotvapes, Liberty-Flights.com, LiteCigUSA.net probably each have at least one kind.

Lemme see if they are used for anything else.... Calls Home Depot and Lowes and other big hardware places and ask if they have blunt metal needle syringes for use with glues - some of those are 18gauge and that should work and 16 gauge or even 14 gauge might work (but you don't want to enlarge the hole). And you may as well call a big drug store and as if they sell blunt needle syringes.

You could also go outside and just try to shake out the liquid, then go in and submerge it in water (hopefully air will go up and water in) then shake out again?

Try what swedishfish said first because I have never used them. I use cartomizers.

The Target pharmacy sold me syringes with no questions asked. About 25 cents each.


Can't you just dump it out ?

 

[swedishfish]

The way tanks are made they don't really dump out if you don't take the lid off. A syringe is definitely the easiest way but if you don't have one and they're anything like the ego tanks you should be able to pry the lid off with your fingernail or a paper clip.

Looking at the picture, it looks like there's some sort of lid.

Actually in most places, you can get syringes from a pharmacist in a drug store. Here I buy them at Tractor Supply Company (TSC). Feed stores probably have them too. They say for veterinary use only. I don't mind.

 

[GSHARQ]

Well I got the lid off but there was no way to dump the liquid out as far as I can tell.

Will a store like Target or CVS really sell me syringes? I don't want to look like some sort of ...... addict or something.

I got my wisdom teeth out recently and I got a couple little curved syringes to rinse my mouth out, I bet you could ask a dentist for some of those, I use it to rinse out my 510-t carts about once a week so they don't get goopy. To get the water out I just fill the syringe with air and blow it all out and let the rest dry overnight! But I like the syringe I got from them because its plastic and it fits perfectly into the tip of the cart!

Just pop the cap, dump, and refill.

 

[GSHARQ]

I popped the cap off, but nothing comes out when I turn it over. I know there is still plenty of liquid in it too.

There is no way to flush it out with hot water? Walmart sells a larger syringe that's used for kids medicine. You could ask at CVS, tell you you don't really need the needle. Say it's for a craft project.

Just ask at the pharmacy counter if they have syringes. You will need either a needle or an "irrigation syringe" - this is the type that has a narrow plastic tube on the end instead of a needle (often used to flush out gums after dental work or to flush out ears).

Does anyone happen to know where I can just buy one online?
