Newbie Refilling Tricks: Let me introduce The RenSpin!

[renthepen]

Hey all.

My name is Ren. I am a newbie myself, and I've only learned a week ago what was the Taryn Spin (named after the girl who invented it). Here's a video you should watch if you don't know what is the purpose of this trick (this is the new forum members section afterall!)

The Taryn Spin 2011....Everything You Need To Know - YouTube


Now, since I've bought a cigarette-sized Personnal Vaporiser, my cartomizers are very tiny. I thought the idea of buying a plastic pipe, cut it etc. was too much work for my lazy ... so I used one of the condoms that came with my cartos and simply sewed a thread using a sewing needle.

I've sewed the thread through the bottom of the condom:

And then I invented...

...The RenSpin!

All I have to do is to insert the carto in the condom and spin it! It works great in both the Taryn Spin and the Inverted Taryn Spin...

...but I call them the RenSpin and the Inverted RenSpin

This trick works well with the mini e-cig cartos and might not be strong enough for the big-... cartos out there. With my little setup I can spin the .... out of my cartos without any fear of seeing it fly away.

I also have two other tricks I've been experimenting with: To pop off the cap of my cartomizer , I use a paper clip arm like I've seen on many refilling tips & tricks videos and threads, but I use a small paper clip (remember I got a mini)

And finally I use the boiling method to clean my cartos, but once they're clean I Invert-RenSpin them to get rid of most of the water, and instead of using the oven method to dry them, I use a hair dryer, at minimum power, for about a minute and then let it cool down for about 5 minutes. I do this 3 times, and then I refill them using the RenSpin after every 6 drops of e-juice (except the last 6 ones which I let sit for a few minutes). I put a total of 18 drops in my tiny cartos.

I hope these tricks will help some of you newbies out there.

Disclaimer: Before I posted this, I made a google/youtube/forum search and couldn't find any trace of a condom spin or hairdryer related to cartos. It is possible that I missed the fact that these tricks existed before. If you feel like you should be identified as the inventor of these tricks, well feel fee to tell the world that you invented the RenSpin!

Congrats on finding new and creative ways to spin the cartos. That's the way vaping should be.. fun and innovative. Glad that you shared your success w/ some of the others here.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I love this forum.

Does anyone know where, I mean in which section of the forum, I should post this trick so that people will see it? Here, on the New Members forum, there is so much traffic that threads don't last more than a few hours on the 1st page before they slowly die forever!

Neat trick. I use an oral med dispenser to do the spin. Here's where can post it:

Just a hint - when I was using carto's and doing the 'spin' I sometimes would get drops of juice splatter about from the batt end of the carto. So, I started putting a condo over the batt/thread end to catch any drops that might be coming out.

Sort of looks similar to the Griz Whiz It can also be used for filling as well as emptying cartos.

Great tip! I could have used it last night B4 I baked my cartos. They dried ok but I am gonna try this next time. Welcome to the ECF. Great post

I use a lanyard and put a condom over the end I am pushing the liquid to. And spin away. I really don't count drops, I add and spin then once the cartos filler is still wet after spinning I add one more drop for luck.....blow the center hole from the battery end, put both condoms back on all ready for a new day. This works really well for me.

 

[renthepen]

blow the center hole from the battery end

Yeah I forgot to write it down in my post - but I do blow in that hole as well once I'm done refilling the cartos, to make sure there is no leaking.

I guess I could Try a Needle and Thread? But I'm more into Power Tools.

I guess I could rubber band them to a ceiling fan but I'm afraid of Ladders.

I like this technique...

To Dry, Put the Battery end in.

To Fill, Battery end out. Just don't forget to put the condom on the ends.

LOL actually call me crazy but I tried spinning a carto with my cordless screw gun set on low just to see....naw didn't work

You do what I did and tape the Cartos to Car Rims and then Hop on the Freeway.

Just keep an eye on your Rear View Mirror for Red & Blue Lights.

LOL how timely as I just switched snow tires to summer and 1 rim was stuck...had to loosen the lug bolts and drive down a street with speed bumps to loosen it

Filling with a syringe works just fine for me.

Could someone explain to me how the spin is used tofillcartos? I mean I just take off both condoms and the cap, fill the longer condom with liquid push battery connector end into the juice filled condom and it fills from the bottom up. I usually use two condoms full and my cartos are perfect wetness, then I just drip 5drops every 30min-an hour depending on vape pace.

This looks great to empty cartos of nasty juice but how would you use it to fill cartos?

Thanks.

If you search "Taryn Spin" on YouTube you'll find it. I use the condom method without the Spin and it works well. The Taryn Method uses gravity to force the juice to the end of the carto. Can also do Reverse Taryn Spin to empty carto.
You actually drip the juice into the carto and spin it. Repeat until full. Make sure you have a condom the the end otherwise a mess.
