I just received my order for my first real PV (A 510 kit) and I ordered extra blank carts so i could fill with the juice i got. My question is: are the blank carts supposed to be dry, or are they filled with something? Mine look like they are full (All slushy looking).

In the meantime i guess ill just drip these flavours i got!

If you mean cartridges that go onto your atomiser then they sometimes come with eliquid in them. The supplier should tell you if they will. If they're meant to be completely new blank cartridges then they should be completely dry.

If you don't want the liquid in them, just pull the wadding out (best to use a pair of tweezers) and run it under some hot water until it's colourless again. Next you dry it, fastest way is to place it on a paper towel and squeeze it a few times and it'll be good to put back into the cartridge to fill up again.

Hope that helps!

This is great replacement stuffing for 510 carts. One cart can be used a long time - washed and dried, restuffed with this precut blue foam, the blue foam holds its shape and can be easily rinsed and patted dry. Also less likely to give burning stuffing taste than white stuffing.

When using blue foam, on a full fill remove the foam (a smooth unbent small paper clip helps), fill the juice cup 1/2 way with juice (2/3 if you are daring but more chance it will leak). Stick the foam in tapered end first. Press the foam down into the liquid to get it wet. Reposition the foam at the top edge of the juice cup, and top off with 1-3 drops of whatever it need to look just damp on top, not a puddle. While vaping, top off as needed. When topping off doesn't help, do a full fill.

And when you get tired of atomizer and cart, try Boge standard resistance 510 cartomizers with your favorite thinner juices. Most people vape their favorite juices with cartomizers - holds more liquid, needs liquid less often, provides a more consistent and troublefree vape (once you learn to keep them damp). Downside - a continuing expense, limited lives (I get about a week or more out of a Boge which costs about $3 each plus shipping)
