Pretty sure I just broke a cartomizer.

It's fine to condom fill even if you do have an auto battery. Just be sure to blow any excess liquid out into a tissue or something after filling. Then wipe down very well. Also you can tell a carto needs refilled by a significant drop in flavor and vapor that it will have just before being low enough to burn.

Condom fill won't work on the Sidesho. The condoms only cover the threads, not half the carto like a normal one.

I know I've answered this before, but the Sidesho is a branded j108 and the 902 is a branded j118. It's a 510 threaded mini, but as far as I know Modern Vapor is the only one selling blank j108 cartomizers in the States.

The best way to fill any carto I have found is to use a syringe, though it just highlights how much of an addict I am. I think a Sidesho carto will hold close to 15 drops since it is so small.

By the way, if you go to the Archives section at the bottom of the main page you can access the dead Modern Vapor forum. There's a good bit of info on the Sidesho and 902 there.

Apparently, MV used to sell dual coil 902 cartos and LUX cartos. Only missed it by about 2 years.

Believe it or not, it holds more than that. I don't know exactly how much more, but I filled my cartos up with 16 drops or so. Then when I learned to pop the tops off, they took at least a half dozen more drops. Next time I finish a carto I'll count and report back.

Please do. USPS mis-routed my Sidesho, so I'm just flailing away a bit. Thankfully I've got my non-branded j108 and 1 working atty.

My juices taste better dipping on this thing than they do in my larger batteries and cartomizers.

Take your time when filling carts, if there isnt enough juice it'll burn and be ruined. Personally i flood my cartos when filling them, better too much than not enough. Hope that helps

Sounds dead. Don't feel bad I can keep atomizers going for months but can't get a carto to work for 3 days properly.

Okay, so I just got some new juice and a syringe from Virgin Vapor. I put slightly less than 1ml into the carto, and it looks like it can take just a bit more than that. So it's probably exactly 1ml.

The syringe has a plastic needle tip. Is it bad to stab the fill with it to fill from further down? It takes a lot less time but there are tiny holes in the fill now.
