Okay, so I am a little bummed. I literally just recevied my Vapor King in the mail. I didn't get any type of velour battery bag. What alternatives are people using that don't have the battery bags?
I recycled an old velour Sunglass Hut glasses carry bag--it's a little big, but twirls real nice. The glasses are long since broken or missing (and why is it always that way with the expensive ones, yet I have the $14 drugstore cheapies from 2 years ago that I can't seem to shake :rolleyes:)

Ok, I tried it again yesterday. This time made sure to put the .... plugs and cover on!!:oops: I had 17 carts that were rinsed and dry ready to go. I used the V4L battery bag and I wrapped a rubber band around it near the top so the cart wouldn't fall to the bottom (easy removal!!) This worked great!!
I got between 30 to 32 drops in each!! They vape great and with that much more juice in them they should surely last longer!!!!

Thanks Taryn great idea!!
Loking forward to the new "sling" ideas you all come up with!!!!:D

I refilled some cartos last nite as well. After rinsing them out, I got 35 drops in. That's borderline overfilling bc they needed a good 5-10 puffs to get them going again. Next time, I'm going to try 32 drops.

Good tip too on the rubberband. I don't like it when my carts go all the way to bottom of the battery bag. =)

Oh yeah, I almost smacked myself in the face twirling the bag around. =)

I cut the bag in half and used a desk stapler to seal up the bottom. Worked great till it flew out of my hand and went MIA for 1.5 days. :-x

I'll try to take some video at the factory, but I don't know if they'll allow it, Mary.

And I was just thinking, I want one of those twirling australian aboriginie noise makers. Like in Crocodile Dundee! Strap a cartridge on and you've got music, culture, anthropology, AND a refilled cart! :D

The aboriginal 'noise makers' are called ''bull-roarers" (Actually the aboriginals have the true name of it, but it's somewhat sacred) but they're pretty easy to make. A lot of other cultures around the world also have their versions too.

Where are you in Michigan, I should have an extra bag by Saturday!! (crossing fingers and hoping) Otherwise JoAnne fabrics carries knitting needle covers, and the look like the would keep the cart upright while spinning.

I am in the New Baltimore / Chesterfield Twp area. Thanks for the offer, but Steve said he would throw one in for me on my next order.

Wow, this thread has really taken off since the last time I posted here a couple of days ago. :thumbs::pop::lol::D

Has anyone considered using a salad spinner? I think it would work. Mine died and I'm going to order another one anyway, so I'll let you know later if it works or not.

Thanks again to Taryn for this great tip -- it really works.

I like the manual spinners best, and they are pretty cheap.

My initial thought was to get one of those inexpensive trays that hold test tubes and then glue it to the spinner basket with superglue or hotglue. Just have to make sure I order one with the correct size holes to make sure the cartos will fit in it. Then just spin away.

yeah pugzley im seeing the same thing, i usually only get an hour or 2 out of a refill b/c i vape alot, im seeing these last 3 or 4 like a new cart.

u must not vape alot if they last u an hour or 2 to 3-4 hours. mine always last 30mins at best, and I VAPE the crap out of them, non stop. Im a mad man.
