OOH! OOH! My first Ikenvape cartos are on the way!!! How to fill question.

[pizza2me]

I don't want to break these as I did the LR306 atty that Issac sent me just to help figure out what I needed. (He's awesome!)

Anyway, do you treat them just like Boge LRs? I assume so, just want to make sure so I get the proper experience.

I drip to fill cartos.

With the Boges, I basically do this.

pop the soft cap off
drip 3-5 drips around the filler.
Let it sit for a few minutes (at first fill, they just sit on the top. Seems once the filler has soaked some in, it's hungrier and you can drip more)
Then I drip 5-10 drops (till it looks like it's not soaking in)
Until I get to 25-30 drops.
Then I let it sit. At least a 1/2 hour or so if I'm in a hurry. Overnight if I'm not.

Does this a good method for Ikenvape cartos? I only order 3 of each (goal V2s and Premium Platinums), so I don't want to waste any of them.

Thanks!

Yep, you got it. One thing you will probably notice is that you don't need to wait as long in between adding drops, especially the Gold V2. It wicks very fast.

I fill mine up to the brim just like a glass of water then in a minute of two the filler soaks up every last drop and I'm ready to vape. I used to go around the edge but stopped because the filler soaks it all in anyway.

Tried several methods of filling them, dripping the drops directly in with the cart held at a 45 degree angle is perfect. 25 drops or so at first, then use a bit of centrifugal force (I hold the cart from the mouthpiece end and shake it) to get all of the juice to the bottom, then drip a few more drops until the filler stops soaking. Havent found it necessary to wait, I can vape away right then! Much cleaner and more convenient than the condom or syringe methods. Those are overkill imo.

I used to fill all my cartomizers the same way, just like Chornbro and you posted. Once in a while I would drip a drop or two too much but would use it anyways. I would just give a quick suck on the mouth end to pull the juice up the straw to the filler and by the time it was ready to start traveling, I vaped enough so it got absorbed by the filler instead of leaking out the battery terminal.

I always just squeeze the bottle and then let it relax drawing the excess back into the bottle. No mess no battery or mouthpiece end leakage. But the real reason I posted is my fusion order made it and I'm all set for quite some time. The only reason I order is I like getting packages from Ikenvape.
Oh I got my RY4 and it's the first RY4 I liked. But I could of told you that without it. I've never gotten anything bad from Isaac. Rock on my friend.

I am a big fan of RY4, at the moment the best one I tried is a RY4 made in the US for a french business called e.vape, a perfect combinaison of an unsweetened tobacco, nut with a tiny hint of vanilla & liquorice. I can't wait to try Isaac's RY4!
