My refilling trick

[Big Daddy]

Just tie a loop of string or ? on the middle of one or more of these (it has a nice little handle on it ) ( DealExtreme: $2.44 4 x AA Battery Case Holder (3-Pack) ) and swing , they will hold 4 cartomizers at a time. Works great. Has a snap close latch that holds very well .
Thanks Taryn for this great tip.

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

I vaped all day yesterday on this refilled carto and it's still going strong this morning. Typically, I go thru 1 refilled carto a day, but with Taryn's trick, it's still going. I love it!

I refilled another dozen last nite. I did 15 drops, spin, 15 drops, spin. Some of them were flooded with visible pool of liquid after the second 15 drops. After the second spin, all the liquids were sucked down into the batting. Let's see how they perform later today.

Just filled a brand new blank with 35 drops of Kamel (out of 5 ml bottle). Could have probably put another 5-10. Waited for about 10 min, and 1st puff was AMAZING!

Can someone explain this trick in newbie terms?

Instead of shaking it like thermometer, we spin it

I took a plastic bottle (old Puresmoker e-liqui bottled), heated a nail over a candle (I could have used my cordless drill, but I was too lazy to get it from outside shop) & melted a hole into the bottle cap.

Then I fed a pin (don't know what it's called-see picture) through the hole and bent back sides of pin inside the cap.

Put small O type key ring through top of pin.

Fed chain through keychain ring & VOILA!
SPINS LIKE A CHAMP! TWO, POSSIBLY 3 CARTOMIZERS AT A TIME! If you need to spin more cartomizers you could use a bigger plastic bottle.

A cotter pin!! I am so going to make one just like that, thanks for sharing!!!



And yeah I'm a female who owns her own tools and knows how to use them.

Right on...so am I The workshop with all the tools and powertools is mine and hubby is not allowed to touch any of it! He is a lefty and I always say he has two left hands, so stay away from my tools!

PS: And he does stay away from them, LOL

Awesome idea...could use a prescription pill vial also and fill it up to do a bunch at a time

Thanx for the pix

I had a couple of ideas and was going to do a video but I don't think I can improve on this one so why re-invent the wheel (actually one of my ideas involved a wheel! )

Now I just need to find a good bottle.

 

[Thyestean]

great idea mpetva

Actaully I just took a pill bottle and knotted a string around the underneath part of the child proof thing you have to push down on to open the bottle. Then put the lid on worked like a charm. You could also take the string and put it through the little slit on the child proof latch and use it that way also. You can use anything that you can attache a string too..

To swing it around I am currently using a bobbin winder we use in weaving. bobbin winder, great deals on Weaving Looms on eBay!. The very first one on the page (right now that is) I just put a string with a squeeze type paper clip on it and attach my little bag to it. Works great.

I went out to my garage to whip-up something to spin the cartos for a better refill and this is what I came up with. It works great, just pop the carts in and pull the trigger.

I see an old cordless drill with hole cutting bit, a length of closehanger wire, and what's that on the end? Shotgun shells?

Nope, nothing that can go horribly, HORRIBLY wrong here.

Yes Leaford, that about sums it up. No not shotgun shells (way too big) some plastic protection caps from some long ago unknown purchase. They were the perfect size for a snug slip fit, I have spin at full speed and haven't lost one yet,
half speed is perfect (variable speed drill motor). Cheap and easy for me.
Also, you would be correct in assuming it's not fool-proof.

I have to try this method. I am always in a hurry to vape. Who has time to wait...

 

[Taryn]

Very creative! I'm hoping you have one of those plexiglass shields like they have on mythbusters to stand behind. Or at least some goggles in case of flying cartos!
