Hi, if you look at the video again, there is nothing to remove. It's one big plastic piece with a metal object inside with a hole. That's all there is. I even ruined one of the 5 I got with pliars pulling it apart to see if anything was removable, it's not. There are two holes in it

I'm talking about the other end- the mouthpiece end. There's a little hole in the mouthpiece. Stick a paper clip in that and pop it off. Inside that, there's another plastic piece. Also remove that.

Then you have to pierce the inside, then you stick you syringe inside and insert the juice.

I have these and it took me awhile to figure them out too.

Did you watch the video?

Oh Kev.....Your getting in a bit of a mess there.

You have some good kit. This is going to work for you. You just have to get it working right.

Your putting the liquid in the wrong place there. You'll need to clean up thoroughly the area where you've been putting in the liquid.
If you want to use the cartomizer (the one with the steel inside) then you need to fill it from the other end somehow. I would suggest that you only put in about 5 or 6 drops. Till you get the hang of it.

If you have atomizers it might be best for you to screw one to your battery and use a cartridge to put your liquid in.

Have you got an atomizer ? If you have then you need a cartridge (like the one you showed on you tube but with no metal in it. There should be some foam inside the cartridge. Maybe you got some cartridges that already have liquid in. If you have they will have a cap on each end to stop the liquid running out.

I hope someone can put up a link to help you out here mate. Try and relax though. You've got some good gear and when you get it going you'll be well happy with it.

Wish i could help you more man but all i can do is sit here with my fingers crossed for you. If you think i can help shout. But i've only been e cigging for 2 weeks myself.


Come on guys the man needs a hand here.

Ok, got the plastic pieces out, now can't get the syringe in there. Poked hole through it with a pin, still can't get the syringe in it. Using almost all my force to do so. Probably pushed the pin in too far. Tried to put 2ml in, now it's coming out the other end.

This sucks. Really sucks. Anybody want to buy all my gear? $100 shipped via paypal

between here and there
Sorry, those type of cartos can be difficult If you have 2ml in them, I would suggest putting the plastic pieces back in now...hold a tissue to the battry end and blow excess juice out.....wipe it all down good.....and give it a try....if you get juice in your mouth take the plastic parts back out and clean with paper towel and wipe the inside with a q-tip.....
Those holes are really difficult to pierce at first......but you will get used to it....and it does become easier....first fill, they always hold 2ml, after that I don't [put anymore than 1.4 ml in, if I do it runs out...
:)


it is hard to kill this atty....just blow it out and it should fire....why do you think you ruined it?

I must apologize for my earlier post...I didn't realize you were using the tank style cartos....I gave instruction for a regular carto...my bad...the above video from db shows exactly how to fill them...once you get the syringe in, try aiming more for the sidewalls rather than straight down the middle...might be why you're getting some leaks...good luck...

You are not an idiot. I had one in the drawer for a month because I didn't know how to fill it until I found the video.

Get some of these. Couldn't be easier. Just pop off the end and fill it up.

15 Carto Deal at Crystal Clear Vaping : Cleanest, Purest Unflavored Nicotine On The Planet

They should give more instructions, but you have a great pv. Don't give up!

Thanks, do I want regular or LR? No idea what either is.
I figured I ruined one because I took a pair of pliars to it and still didn't realize the end popped off. Then the other one I put juice in the battery end.

Now that I get it, I get it. Still doesn't seem like I pierced it enough for the syringe to actually go through it. Seems like it just sits atop the hole and fills it but doesn't actually go in it.

Sorry I have limited time today to mess with this stuff. I am a software engineer, I do carpentry on the side, I fix .... and put together .... constantly and this little thing is kicking my .... But only because I expect to instantly be an expert at it. Thanks for you help folks.

Get a pack of both and try them. I prefer LR because it is a warmer vape and better flavor. The regulars are not bad either, though. With that deal above I would probably get 2 LR and 1 reg just so you can try them both. I have a feeling you will like the LR better.

Not so sure you have ruined your MEGAs. At least the one you just added juice to the bottom end on. Just blow it out real good and try it out. It will probably work.
I have no idea about the one you used plier on though. I guess it depends on how much damage you did. :laugh:

Get the LR cartomizers. You don't have to buy that many. I usually do because that's pretty much all that I use. Cartomizers are so easy. The have a soft cap on the end that you just pop off. You drip in about 30 drops of juice and you're set. When you need to fill it, just pop the top off again and drip more juice in.

I actually tried out the mega cartomizer that you're using the other day. Got bored and pulled it out. After i watched the video, it was OK. I had a tough time with my needle because it was a little to thick but I was able to fit it. I had to puncture it with a big needle. I'm amazed at how much juice it holds. I really like it. The only downside I can see is that it's hard to know when it has to be refilled because you can't actually 'see' your juice.

The one where you put juice in the battery end should be OK. Just wipe it off. The batterys are sealed so it shouldn't harm them.

Poor Kevin! :cry: It probably doesn't taste too good since he got a mouthful!

Yeah. Ejuice is better vaped than tasted, kevin.

I took a drop taste of my DIY Flavoring one day. UGH! I was running to the bathroom trying everything to get the taste out. And it was mint, so it just stuck around for so long. It was a totally bad vape day!

How do you like your juice so far?

Well I think the stuff tastes horrible. But then my brain is brainwashed into thinking regular cigarettes taste good even though my conscious mind knows otherwise. To me they all taste the same, disgusting. But crap. I took one hit today and I coughed my ... off for 35 minutes. I guess it was too big. Packed a whallop too. See, when I quit cigs in the past for a couple days or whatever, the patch does nothing, gum nothing, lozenges nothing, snus, nothing.

So regardless of the lack of flavor these things seem to have I'm hoping that when my last 2 packs of ANALOGS as you guys call them, LOL, are gone, the e-smoke, vaping will provide enough nicotine to where I'm not ready to put my fist through the wall like when I try to quit cold turkey.

I was hoping that the flavors would actually be noticable, however they all just seem to taste like plastic smoke really. Maybe the back woods flavors will be better. I know I must be missing something as I read the reviews for some of this stuff and folks seem to be nuts over it. I don't get it.


I got these with my initial order.

hckillavanilla-0002 High Caliber Killa' Vanilla - 24mg X High
1 $5.95 $5.95
hcredwhite-0001 High Caliber Red & White - 18mg High
1 $5.95 $5.95
555 555/T5 Liquid
[ Strength:24mg X High] 1 $4.50 $4.50
brandyliq Brandy/Bandi Liquid
[ Strength:24mg X High]

I ordered a bunch from the back woods guy or whatever his name is.
