OK so whaddya do?

[Boredoftheworld]

I found a much better way than squeezing (or a better way to squeeze) -
Press the stuffing down tight all the way to the bottom of the cart with something - I used an ice pick - Then I took my syringe and put it all the way at the bottom and pulled back the plunger all the way letting the air pressure do the work - It sucks it dry till it makes that end of the milk-shake sound - - I got over 10 ml out of about 30 spent carts that way - Course I have pen-style carts - so results may vary

Oh... lol, that makes SOOO much more sense than what I was about to start doing. I was gonna put the stuffing IN the syringe and then press the juice out into a bottle. Much less mess your way.

Clearly I'm not thinking clearly at this point, just knowing I was gonna run out tomorrow was making me panic.

OK Bored;
Get with it. Yer on your own now. Let's hear some squeezing sounds.
Good Luck

Our local Hobby Lobby is apparently run by ......... my wife is standing in the one little second of "baking" junk and they have zilch, zero, nada except for one lorann's vanilla alcohol bottle... and a generic bottle of something called "glycerin" with NO further information on the bottle.

So that's out. moving on... here I was finally accepting the mad scientist role (and even looking forward to it a bit) but it doesn't look like it's happening tonight.

You can get Glycerin at your local CVS Pharmacy or Walmart. The each have their own brands. Skin Care section, usually on the bottom shelf. They both will say USP on them.

Holy SMOKE... er, VAPE!

Pulled the juice out of every cart I've got, added the extracted juice to about 15 ml of VG, threw in half a dozen drops of cinnamon candy flavoring (because the chocolate/menthol/cherry blend of cartridges just wasn't enough apparently)... and cut the whole soup with gin.

Yes, gin, because it seems my wife drank the last of the distilled water and there's no vodka left either...

I wouldn't actually recommend this, in fact I'd go so far as to say: DON'T BLOODY DO ANYTHING THIS STUPID EVER! I'm not sure where I went wrong exactly, it's either the blended cart juice (probably not), the cinnamon flavoring (could be) or the gin (ya think?). The sheer amount of vapor is incredible, a 1 second drag puts out so much vapor that it's a bit scary.

Wonder how long until the atomizer explodes?

Wonder how long until I explode...

Wonder how long those pink chickens have been perched up on ceiling fan... uh oh.

[don't worry, I just threw the test cart back in the cleaning cup, even an analog would be better than that mess.]

Thought I was in the same boat as you. Mild freak out session. Then I checked my tracking #, which said my 30ml were delivered. WHAT!?!?!? Turns out the mail I checked earlier was yesterdays! Just in the Nic-o-time.

I am dying laughing here!
Pink chickens!!
You poor, poor man, Please tell you wife I am very sorry. I have never been in a hobby lobby, but everyone here swears by them and their wonderful stock! How was I to know you live near the only one in the U.S. without a decent baking section! I looked your area up and lo and behold the only two craft places were a toy train place (very doubtful on flavors other then machine oil) and the Hobby Lobby!
Cinnimon! Oh good grief you will never get that taste out of the atty and your system. what part of adrop or two did you miss by the way?

 

[Kate51]

This is the kind of happenstance that makes these threads too much fun...
Explosion videos I think are banned, though......good grief!! Bet you'll never let this happen again. Gin? OMG What some people won't do to avoid lighting a cigarette, eyh?

$40 worth of npro carts later...

ahhhhhh nicotine happiness.

The disgusting thing is it took $40 to buy 20 npro carts and it takes 2 npro carts to fill each 510 cart... so it LOOKS like the npro people are making a killing. Ten carts for my 510 would have cost $10. Nevermind how much juice I could have bought for forty bucks.

You'll always pay more at a local store, but we do what we have to do. Bet you won't let yourself run low on supplies again.

I've worked it out I think, for at least the next six months I plan on making a $100 monthly order of atomizers/batteries and juice. That way I'm still saving $350 every month and given the price of juice from China I should have a couple years supply after six months. Then I can drop down to maybe $50 per month.

I have about 150ml worth of juice and a case of blank carts on the way, I don't expect the overseas stuff to get here until next week, but I did expect the domestic orders to arrive earlier.

I am so glad you didn't have to pick up an analog!

We pay for convenience and pretty packaging.
1.35 for a 20oz dew, or a 2 liter for 99 cents. We pay for convenience.
I bought one of the Npro and the carts just for the convenience factor.
If I need it, I can just go get it, 24 hours a day..
And no extracting to fill my 510.
It's a good back up to have. Maybe pick one up sometime, just in case, never know.
