Ive been refilling cartomizers for some time now, and have made a surprising discovery:
Initially I did it by removing the white cap, the internal rubber divider, and then dripping/rotating all the way around.
it occured to me just the other day that the juice might actually be *blocking* the juice...if that makes any sense (the reason that the straw mod exists for 901/510)
SO; to make a long story short... I started filling only one side of the cartomizer, and leaving the unfilled side up (to vent air) and when it appears to be gettin close to full, i roatate it and put a drop or so on the dry part (which is almost already filled from filling other sides).
Doing this allows me to get closer to 14 drops in a cart ive vaped virtually dry but not burnt...and wow was i amazed. Apparently the carts got "vapor locked" (LOL pun semi-intended) by air trying to get out past a pool of juice trying to get in...and dripping on one side allows the juice to get to the bottom then fill to the top, instead of filling the top and then having your cartomizer *act* full where fullness isnt actually occuring.
Try this on one and see if you don't agree.
I just knew an empty cartomizer held more than like 6-8 drops of juice haha.
There's no need to actually mod the cartomizer, the batting makes an effective vent so long as you keep one side up till almost full. Tilting the cartomizer roughly 45 degrees seems to work best while filling..

Will definitely try this. However, even tho I've ordered several bottles of juice in my last order, once I truly get a feel for how long a cart actually lasts during the day (instead of changing flavors just because they taste to darn good!), I just may take the easy way out one day and go strictly cartomizers.
