I just got my ego XL with the atty XL and carts XL in the mail with all the fixings. I also bought some VG juice from liberty flights. I tried to drip the juice into the cart on the polly fill put it just sat their on top. It didn't absorb into the polly.Evert video I watched it absorbed into the polly. What is going on. Also the atty XL I got from liberty flights were wet with something on them.The whole inside of the package was wet . Are they suppose to come that way? The carts that came on the attys didn't have any polly in them either. I'm confused Please help.

There is a priming fluid in the atomizers, you can blow that out into a paper towel, sounds overly wet. The cartridges I take a bent paper clip and do a little fiddling around with to help the liquid soak down into then fluff it back up. You want the top of the cartridge to be "slushy" but not with a pool on top of it, HTH

First off when filling a carto it generally takes a while to fill them the first time. I personally use a syringe and inject the juice way down inside the poly. But if you don't have a way to get a syringe you can pool the juice on top of the polyfill and let it soak through. Just keep in mind it does take a while to seep it all the way through the carto. Also keep in mind a carto will generally hold around 2ml of juice. Just remember that it is better to flood your carto the first time than to not fill it up enough. Once a carto is burnt, you will never get that flavor out.

As for the carto's being wet, were they prefilled cartos? If not you are probably just seeing the primer that the carto came with. Just blow that primer out of there :). And for the blank cartridges on the atty's, they all come the way. Just throw 'em away..

I just reread the original post and realized you were not talking about 510 Cartomizers. Disregard my first paragraph unless you decide to purchase 510 Cartomizers (Atomizer and Cartridge combined).

The blank carts for just for shipping, you can set those aside, as far as filling the carts just dab the bottle's drip tip gently into the polyfill and squeez the juice in, it should sponge into the polyfill, also put a couple drops right on the attomizer bridge then you should be good to go. It might taste a little funky to start, it may burn off some of the primer juice on the atty but it should be working soon after the first several puffs.

I am one of the few that still has an atty/cart system. I will experiment later, but for now it works perfect for me.

I would blow out the primer as best as you can by blowing into the atty both sides into a paper towel.

As for the carts... I use HighPing's method of filling a cart: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/70962-my-simple-cart-mod.html#post1049742 , but I don't fill the cart with as much juice, I do about 6-8 drops instead.

You can get posy-fil cheap at Wal-mart. I got the super dense posy-fil because it absorbs a lot more, and works great. Just remember, if you're not getting enough vapor when you do the mod, cut a little tiny part off the top of the filler, and try again. :) Hope this helps!

The OP was talking about cartridges and not cartomizers. Also, some cartomizers might hold 2ml of juice (the mega ones), but the more popular Boge, KR808D-1, SLB, and 4081 cartos hold 1mL, not 2mL.

I just noticed you edited your message and added a correction at the end.

You'll know if you "OD" on nicotine. Your body will act up a tiny bit: you might feel dizzy, get a bit hot, even slightly nauseous, but nothing serious. As for the lung collection? I'm not exactly sure of the science, but I know for a fact that it's much better than analogs (analogs = the official name of cigarettes ). Vape away!
