KR808D-1 Refilling Cartos

[LLBarberJr]

This is a little long as I'm looking for help. I tried to post in the proper forums/existing threads but am unable to do so till I post here a bit more.

Anyway, here is my story...

Started vaping almost 2 months ago (huge success and I've converted about six others) and it rocks! I started with ecigexpress.com's menthol starter kit (battery and prefilled cartos) and a bottle of Menthol refill juice. I watched a video showing how to refill and I had great success.

Then I ordered blanks from the same company and they seem to just absorb all the liquid even though I fill them the same as the reused ones from above. I can put like 4-5 more drops in them before they are too full and I know it isn't leaking out as I put the condoms back on. No big deal though...

Then I ordered some premium prefills from Vapor4life.com and they ROCKED. Much better vapor production, etc. So I get a box of blanks. Here is where my issue comes.

I go to fill the premiums like normal. Pull off the rubber cap (instead of the hardcap/rubber combo I'm used to). Everything looks normal inside. I fill it like I normally do (and didn't overfill). Then I put it back together and put the cap back on.

I screw on my battery and take a puff and BAM a mouth full of e-juice that practically blistered my tongue! It was so foul!

I tried several more times with the same result...

HELP!

Thanks all,

In my experience, when I get a hot liquid explosion it is either because I overfilled the cart or I forgot to spin it / shake it. If an air bubble gets trapped in the center tube of the cart and heats up, when it pops, it shoots hot liquid straight into your mouth. I haven't used the premium carts, but the principle is the same. Make sure you either spin / shake the cart, or let it sit, connector end down, overnight to get the bubles out before you use it.

Letting it sit overnight is a patient solution ...not all vapors have that. Ok almost none have that.

The solution is to stop dripping before saturation and only drip to one side (if dripping from the plastic end). This allows the air to exit via the otherside.

I had the same problem on a regular basis. What I ended up doing was making a DIY mouthpiece extension out of a pen cap. I heated up the end of the cap and forced it onto another cap to make it large enough so I could slip it onto the end of the cart. Works great. I have since made another one out of a crayola marker cap even better. It has a divider inside that blocks the fluid yet still lets the vapor pass

This stuff works great if you can find it.
