Ostracized, are you useing the new nebula cartos also ? I just tried a couple of them and being a new refiller myself they made it a ton easier, I used new blanks and they took almost 1.5 ml !!!! Srewed it on and vaped great most of the day, I used the syringe fill method first,then the condom fill method, couldn't flood them. Just a a little sizzlin sound !!!


Not sure. How would I know? Mine has the pop top and the rubber ring inside.

The new ones are called turbos,I beleive they have a smaller battery end hole, in your OP you asked about larger carts, vapornines new cartos are awsome, they hold more liquid and vape like crazy. It's my next order as soon as the next shipment comes in.

BTW I recently figured out that some suppliers juice bottles dispense roughly 1/2 the size drops of others, being a newbie I was thinking wt heck, why can't i get 40 drops to absorb in my carto, it all can be a little confusing, but it's all good.

I read where Leaford said they fill factory cartos with a syringe and I decided to try to just duplicate a factory fill, my experiance was about an avg. of .75 ml in a washed and dried carto.(thats a condom filled roughly 3/4 full which is roughly 20 drops in 1 suppliers bottle ) with out over filling, I think lol, I'm new to this to

I've had the same problem with KR808 carts and i think my vaping pattern, short fast drags may be part of my problem with cartomizers. They get pretty hot and the flavor just isn't as satisfying--even when using the exact same juice in a KR808 cartomizer or the new 510 cartomizers a regular 510 works better for me. I think the slow wicking is the culprit. I like to take a few drags and build up a burst of flavor and vapor, then inhale. Slow steady drags never did it for me on analogs either.

the 510 cart while frustratingly small seems to work way better and with the ptb (Tea bag paper for filler) modification it's almost good but NOT 4 hours hah. I refill every half hour at best. (and throw in a few drips on the atty.)

i haven't tried the paperclip twirl though so maybe i can pack some more juice in there. but it seemed to me i was using up a lot of juice. That was before i got a good stockpile in so i think i'll try again. seemed at the time that i was getting tons of fluid in there but it still gave out almost as fast an itty bitty 510 cart as far as flavor and satisfaction.

BTW size of the drops varies considerably intellicig eco pure VG 5ml puts out tiny drops while a 20ml bottle of PG gushes out and gets stuff sloppy.

Wanted to give a big ty to everyone here. Appreciate all the guidence.

I have finally found the right way for me. I am using the condom cart fill technique to refill then using a quick shake to push the liquid away from the mouth area. Flavors are strong, its a fast refill, no mess and flavors are lasting longer now.

Just giving an update and saying thanks.

    I need 15 posts to post links

    ok problem fixed link to video
    Hope it helps! whenever my cart is gurgling, I do this and it fixes it. It lines up the inside and also removes excess liquid from the inner wick. Do not force it through though, just wiggle it around until you feel it gently falling into place.

    Perfect, thunderbolt. Simple and to the point. Get that excess out of the center and you are good to go!!!
