Newb Question Guys: How Do you fill the Ikenvape V2 DD Cartos?

[alldayvape]

I filled mine, never thinking there was a trick to it, and using my eGo battery, I don't get any reaction. No vape no nothing.. Probably put 30 drops or so in it.. It was even leaking from the battery end..
Once the infinity arrives I wanna make sure I know this, lol!

 

[El Dee]

I pull the tip and then drip the edge of the filler while rotating the carto..It should hols @ 30 drops easy...I keep rotating and adding until it comes out the battery end...Then I turn it upside down and let the juice go back the other way...Basically I just hold it and flip and rotate finally holding it so any extra runs out the battery end....Try and not hit the center hole while dripping...and let excess run out before screwing on...........

 

[alldayvape]

got ya!

Any reason I'm not getting a hit at all? No vapor, nothing. It's like dead. I can see the material being soaked..

I have to admit when I first got, I put in only 5 or so drops and pressed the battery button, and I thought I might've burned something judging by the smell.

 

[Bovinia]

Have you used cartos before Alex? I fill mine pretty much the same as Dee said. Also a dumb question...did you take out the little .... plug?

 

[5cardstud]

What I do is take the .... plug and condum of an old 510 carto (because they come without) and use it then drip in around 40 to 45 drops like any other carto. If I'm in a hurry I do the taryn spin if not just let it soak in.

 

[alldayvape]

No, this is my first time using cartos!! I've watched some vids on youtube, read some posts, and though I had it figured out.. But guess not..

Wait, what is the .... plug? lol.. I took off the Direct Drip, and inside was white material. I simply dripped into the white material and it's been soaking for over 6hours now..

Looking inside I don't see anything looking like a .... plug.. ?!

 

[FranC]

The plug is in the atty end.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Do you have a multi meter? If so set to Ohms lowest setting, touch black to the threads and red to the center. It should read between 2.6 - 3.2. I've had 2 that were dead.

 

[Bovinia]

Oh I just looked at my Golds and they don't have .... plugs...never mind! It would be a rubber cap and plug on the battery thread end

 

[FranC]

Yep you're right Bov. The 808 Megas have the .... plugs.

 

[alldayvape]

The plug is in the atty end.

I don't see anything resembling a plug. I'm using the IkenVape V2 510 DD Cartos..

And I don't have a multimeter, yet.. Might get one tomorrow (Edit: will this work http://www.walmart.com/ip/Equus-3320-Innova-Auto-Ranging-Digital-Multimeter/14644666

 

[Bovinia]

That'll work, but you can find one cheaper Try Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/7-function-digital-multimeter-90899.html

It's hard for me to fill without a condom at least. If you have an atty condom it should work.
Here is a video where he don't use the condom: YouTube - Filling a 510 cartomizer soft top

Ya that meter will work. I got one at Radio Shack pretty cheap. That one isn't too bad.

 

[alldayvape]

alright will get that meter...I'm sure there are cheaper ones, but I'd rather not wait..Only condoms I have are.. jk.. I have tank condoms..but they are 2 big I assume.
When I first filled the carto, I only used 4-5 drops, screwed it on, pressed the battery and immidiately smelled something burnt...Could I have fried smth inside the carto!?

*watching the vid now. thx!

 

[BuzzKill]

You could have fried the coil in that one , fill another one then try it .

 

[alldayvape]

You could have fried the coil in that one , fill another one then try it .

I guess I should do that, I only ordered two.. I have nothing else to do..

 

[alldayvape]

yay! Second one is working. Used a syringe to drop 1ml of Geoff's Blend into the white mesh. Did it carefully so I don't get anything into the middle, and its working!!!

Now, once this juice is all used up inside the carto, can I just put different juice in there?

Thanks a lot everyone!!

 

[5cardstud]

I have done that before thinking I filled it when I hadn't and then filled it and it was fine. You should fill with at least 25 drops but make sure and keep it wet. The filler is impossible to burn in them. They have dissected old ones and not a burnt mark on them. Good luck.

I used different flavors in the past at first you'll taste both flavors but after while it will clear.

 

[alldayvape]

thansk 5carstud! This carto is way better than the Tank Atty. Flavor is much better and no problems with the 'drag' or burnt taste problems from the atty!

 

[Bovinia]

Good deal Alex! Make sure you check every couple of hours and add 5 to 10 drops like 5C said. It'll take you a little while to get used to tasting when you need to top off I've been using cartos for the 7 months I have been vaping so I can fill 'em in my sleep LOL. If you overfill and get juice in the center hole just blow it out into a wad of toilet paper so you can flush it.
