Problem is I have just wasted about 4ml of Bobba's Bounty on a DOA DCC (holds around 5ml of juice) cartomizer. Really annoying.

I know i could do a reverse taryn spin, but I have no container for the juice to flow into (i was thinking about maybe fixing the carto to an empty syringe with tape and spinning, but I am wondering if there is a better way).

If I remove the filler, can I squeeze out the juice from it?

(argh)

i probably wouldn't bother taping the syringe to it. I wonder if you could detach the bottom with a pair of pliers and go from there? Or maybe try using a thin, sturdy object that is blunt on the end (like a really small dowel rod or something) and plunge it into the filler to push the juice back up and empty it back into your juice bottle. Repeating the process until you've gotten as much as you can.

Can also try blowing it out of the battery end into the container. Stick a drip tip on there and blow out causing the juice to flow out of the bottom.

Lol stop filling your cartos up all the way before you know if the carto is working or not :)

I check all cartos with a multi meter before commiting any juice. A multi meter will tell you if your carto is bad before you put the juice in.

I did, in fact it was not totally DOA, there must have been a wonky connection. Gave up the ghost the first time I took it on the road...

Yeah I've had a couple of them do the same. Get a good reading on the meter so you fill it up and the first time you hit it the element burns out. Not much you can do to prevent that. Great tip with the syringe and Happy you got your juice back in the bottle.

Went straight into a brand new DCC ;), there was no bottle involved in this transaction :D
