New to e-cigarettes,need some info

[acidvenom]

Hello everyone, im a new user of e-cigs, i used to smoke one pack per day, but now i have switched to a e-cigarette due to lower costs, and the ability to smoke everywhere (smoking in buses is VERY convinient). Now, i have a few questions:
I have a cartomizer, and i have tried refilling it with my apple flavored ecig juice (80%PG,20%VG,16mg of nicotine) and it works generally, but sometimes i get no vapour at all? When this happens i switch to my other cartridge and leave it to rest a bit, and it works after some time. Is this normal or did i do something incorrect while filling it? I removed the white endcap, the silicone cap, and then dropped in the juice until the cotton stuff got a bit darker, being careful not to get any on the white plastic tube.
I would be grateful if someone more experienced could answer my questions, thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to ECF

If you are dropping in the liquid and not using a blunt needle syringe - it will take a few minutes for the liquid to saturate the filler down at the bottom towards the atomizer coil. If there is no juice down there - you wont get vapor. You should be able to fit about 20 drops (give or take a few) and if you arent *quite* filling it it can take a few minutes to work its way down.

Hope this helps!

Okay, i've added some more fluid,and i just put it upright for 5 minutes, and now it works. I can still taste a tiny bit of menthol (the cartridge came filled with menthol fluid) but it will probably dissapear after a few refills. I am also very surprised on how much the battery is lasting on this. I recharged it yesterday morning, and it still works. I'm expecting that i'll need to rechage it soon. Thanks for the help!

You are quite welcome! You will def taste that menthol through a few fills in a cart - flavors can just cling in the filler material.
