Well, I'm starting to run out of "clean" cartos, and the budget is busted for at least another 2 weeks, so have to survive with the set of once-cleaned cartos that I have left.
I've found that once the cartos have been used, they are VERY susceptable to burning, mainly because most top-fill techniques depend on capillary action, which if you don't wait a few mins/hours, the wick won't be "wet" enough to work.
So after burning 5 cartos out in the span of 2hrs, figured I'd try a variation on the "condom fill", some have used the batt end of their carto to "top them off". I have discovered this is a great way to get the last bit of life out of your carto.
Dripping 1-3 into the cart, then holding it horizontal for a few seconds is all you need to get a good 6-8 toots before you would consider re-dropping.
It works best if you let the drop start to "fall" from the dropper bottle with gravity only, don't squeeze unless you have to. If you touch the "half-drop" to the top of the carto's batt end, it will suck right into the wick and not pool on the top (which happened frequently for me when I allowed the full drop to fall from the bottle to the carto hole).
Sure it's a pain, and I'll only keep this up until I can get some new blank cartos, but thought I'd pass it along, since it's keeping me in the vape on the cheap!
