Please help this newb stop overfilling his cartos

[Vvap]

So I know it's important to have a wet carto. But I can never seem to figure out when to stop filling and I go a few drops too many. I know the carto is overfilled b/c when I blow into it after putting the cap back on, i feel the juice coming out the other hand. I hate when i overfill it hurts vapor production so much and it''s tough to ressurect the cart afterwards

Any tips to get the ideal fill without overfilling?

The first time you fill a carto you can usually fit about 30 drops in. Subsequent fillings will vary depending on how empty your carto is. It can be hard to tell sometimes. If it's pretty dry, just add about 6-8 drops, letting them soak in well. Then if it still looks dry just add 1-2 drops at a time until it stops soaking in. I usually only manage to add 12-15 drops on refills.

Just put 3 to 5 drops in, slowly. 3 drops are usually sufficient...unless the addie is very dry! Then do 5, but no more than that!!! Good luck. The feeling for this process will come natural in time.

Just FYI, the OP is talking about cartomizers, not atomizers.

I usually put 20-25 drops in my cartos for the first filling, then I refill them when vapor production starts to drop off and/or starts tasting harsh. I can usually refill it with 10-20 drops depending on how much I've vaped it. I do 5 drops at a time and watch the threaded end for juice. Once you see even the slightest hint of it there, stop filling it. Dab off the juice until it stops and let the carto sit for about 15 minutes before you use it again.

i use the condom method to refill along with the taryn spin....you can check it out on youtube theres tons of videos....plus i let em sit for a few mins and check em to see if they have soaked up the liquid and then if they dont look kinda slushy i add a couple of drops....then let it sit. the condom method works well for me especially if i have alot to refill
