I just set the carto on a bottle with the dropper top removed. It fits nearly perfect on a 3ml bottle. what I cant remove off the top of the filler with the syringe I am filling with anyway. If you cant do that, then blow it into a funnel over a bottle. Same time wasted, but no juice wasted...I have been the guy hoping that that order will get here before those last few ml are vaped up. (I have grown since then and now keep a 100ml bottle always for backstock).

As for the wasted juice from the top leakage...cut a piece of blue foam to the size fo the tube and insert it just before you put in the white cap. Keeps the juice in and wicks back into the filler once the level goes back down.

I read somewhere that syringes are a no-go in NJ so, I haven't bothered with them - I only drip using the bottles. S'ok, I can sacrifice a few drops to the gods of carto reuse. :)

I work in Jersey and get my blunt tip fillers from work. You can also use 3ml disposable pipettes. If anywhere should be banned its Camden where I work.

First off, snow - LOVE the above tagline! something I have noticed though - if the cart is not TOO badly flooded (like maybe just a slight burbling noise), and as long as I keep the PV level between hits - and I don't take TOO hard a hit on it (do I sound like a cheech n chong character?) I can gently vape the excess away over a few hits - gently, mind - (no sense in tasting raw juice!) and after a few hits - everything is beautiful again... :)

I've found that if you stick a toothpick into the airhole while filling, you have alot less loss of juice since it won't get past the pick. I've been doing this lately and haven't had to blow out yet. Just insert the pick until it's snug. Drip in your juice and let it sit. I don't even tilt my carto anymore either. Works great.

I do the same. I actually hold the button down about a second and a half without sucking cause I think it burns away any excess. Doesn't matter if it really does or not. In my mind, it works.

Sometimes the obvious solution is sitting right there in front of us!!! Thanks!

As a bonus, you end up with a tasty toothpick! Of course you'd re-use that toothpick, conserving all the more!
Hmm...keep a separate toothpick for each juice...maybe different colors...labels...time to get some more storage... hope I don't get carried away...

My problem is with condoms! When I take the condom off the bottom of the carto it inevitably creates a suction and sucks juice out the bottom. Then I have to clean the threads and the condom. It is quite annoying and obviously wasteful. I'm probably overfilling though. I will try to do better in the future :(
And thanks Mr. Snow!! ROFL!!! I love your advice!

perhaps take the top one off first?
