My refilling trick

[scottro]

I like your solution, imposter! I'm going to have to try that. My kid likes those things.

I have an order (should be here tomorrow, with luck) and I'm going to try this spinning thing. I just read the whole crazy thread!

What about taping your carts to the wheel (or spokes) of an exercise bike! that way you could refill your carts and burn calories at the same time!

I ended up removing 2 of the finger ends from the fan. Having 4 on there created too much of a drag when spinning bc the little fan motor isn't that strong. It can handle spinning 2 fully filled carts w/o any problems, but 4 seems to be too much for it to spin up.

I'm also using this to clean out carts (like someone suggested previously). I wad up a ball of paper towel in the cartomizer's mouth end to soak up the juices, put it in the finger thingy mouth end down, then spin that sucker up. About 10-15 sec is all it takes to get most of the juices out of the cart. Then I rinse under hot water.

That's a fantastic idea! I will try that as well. going to the Post Office now to pick up my recent order, and then perhaps a trip to Toys-R-Us is in order!

A good power source for using the passthru is at newegg.
Put this in the search box...
'Rosewill usb travel'

this unit will power it at 5v 2000mA

there's 4 ports on it and plugs into the wall so u can use it anywhere there's an outlet.
if you put another usb device in another port then you just get 1000mA. add another and it's 750mA i think.

anyway it works great!!

right now it's only $14.99 and free shipping.

can someone sum this thread up for me, I don't have time to read 40 pages of suggestions, whats the proper way to spin using the battery bag method? I always put xtly 20 drops in then put the cart in the battery bag mouthpiece side facing upwards then just spin it as hard as I can for about 25 seconds, I try to keep it even but it tends to loop downwards.

it vapes pretty well but the way i vape not for long, i tend to smoke it more like a hookah or french pipe more then a cig, mixture of short hard drags and medium to long drags, i vape untill the cart starts to burn my lips.

auto PTs seem to be auto dead the moment they touch my hands, only manual PTs seem to work for me, and due to my electrical issues I'm force to use one of those $50 kenginston battery pack chargers when using my PTs, quite a vaping ordeal i've been going through, trying my hardest to keep this healthy habit going but I tend to make even the healthiest of things unhealthy.

I'm just a black hole, an abyss of power draining dysfunction lol.

Has anyone tried filling with a needle or bottle like the one pictured without opening it up? What I'm thinking is just filling and spinning a couple of times and you're done.

 

[Taryn]

You certainly could fill them like that, I know I like to open it up so I can see if I should wash it out first(if the batting looks browned at all) and also keeps me from overfilling.

How would you know how much juice you are getting in there with that bottle?

 

[gjrhine]

What I am thinking is do it the conventional way first and mark "notches" on the bottle. Each notch then represents a full refill. Of course this is the easy way out so every once in a while you will want to open it and clean, etc.

 

[Taryn]

Give it a try and let us know how it works!

I had no chocolate cartos to refill with the juice I ordered to try, my plan was to take a used kamel carto and rinse it and use it for my new chocolate. Rinsing was as easy as the other forum members suggested and soon I had a new looking empty carto that smelled just slightly of kamel, close enough for me!

Impatient person that I am I wanted to try the chocolate right after it arrived so I started filling up my carto and wondered how can I force the juice throughout the batting inside without waiting for it to soak down. I tried the plunger method and it did seem to force it down a bit. Then tried an idea of mine, putting on the condoms and .... plug, I popped it into one of those battery bags (top end up) and spun it in circles and the centrifugal force easily pushed the juice all the way into the batting, it looked dry as a bone when I opened it up again. I added several more drops, I lost count because my phone kept ringing. Three times I dripped new juice inside and spun, I know I added at least thirty drops. After the last spin I added three drops on the top because it was well soaked in again.

I was able to vape it right away with fantastic flavor and tons of vapor and very long lasting. I'll count the drops accurately next time or if someone tries it let me know how many you could get in. I even used the trick when I flodded my atty with juice when I was just topping off my pineapple cart, was able to vape on it immediately with no sizzling flooded sound and feel and no wasted juice from blowing it out. So far my cartos seem to thrive with that little helicopter spin!

Has anyone else tried this trick?

What is a battery bag? Thanks.

 

[Taryn]

A battery bag is just a small velvet like pouch that came with my order, I used it because it was right in front of me and fits the cartomizers perfectly. You can use something else to spin with, some even use baggies. As long as you keep the battery end pointed outward (condoms and but plugs on of course) and can give it a good twirl it will work.

Thank you Taryn. I feel like a fool though because about thirty seconds after asking, it popped into my head that maybe you were talking about the bags from V4L. Then I went back to read the rest of this thread and sure enough. So I am sorry to make you repeat yourself again but I do appreciate you taking the time to do so.
