Becoming a real fan of cartos on Mini. When you squonk where does the juice go, up the tube to the top or to the bottom(near threads) where the atomiser is and then the vape goes up tube to mouthpiece??? When you squonk does the carto fill from bottom up or top down?? Sounds crazy but would like to know because when filling carto does one have to make sure the juice soaks all the way to bottom so when you vape the juice feeds atty from the bottom?? Thanks.

Here goes .....
the juice goes up the air tube. I feel that some of it soaks in along the way but I may be wrong.
either way 90% of the action is when you inhale the first time after a sqounk (or when you blind squonk)
it draws the juice all the way up the air tube to the top of the filler and soaks back down the filler.
Thats why you have to draw really lightly if your blind squonking ..... otherwise juice in the mouth.
Its also why a drip tip is pretty much a necessity IMO. If you try to use them with the white rubber piece some juice will always work its way up and out.
If your using Boge cartos the coil is actually in the middle of the carto.
The only cartos that have the coil (heating element) at the bottom are the KR808 cartos like the Bloog Max Fusion or something similar. I haven't seen any like that with a 510 thread but they might exist.
The most important thing IMO is the letting it sit as long as you can after the initial fill.
I like to let them sit overnight. It make a difference IMO.
If you even slightly singe the filler on the first hit it affects the flavor for the whole life of the carto.
Glad to hear you are getting the hang of it.

Good question, probably hard to be sure without using a clear carto. I'm going to assume that it comes up the tube, at least the way I do it - I draw on the carto while I squonk. When I fill mine initially, I just use the carto condom method, give it a little shake and let it sit for a bit.
I love cartos on my REOs, I also fill them completely, but I use the Taryan spin like a crazy person (gee, wonder why I live alone.....with cats). I always wondered where the juice went in relation to the carto, Thanks Big Hitter!
Cartos are my preference and I'm very satisfied with their performance on my new mini, vaping just got alot less hassle free
