I got around 28 drops in a carto (wasn't even a blank, but one I rinsed out) using this method:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/47584-my-refilling-trick.html

Also, I think it really depends on the bottle you use- some of mine put out smaller drops than others

I would choose the later over the earlier Birdy. IMO but could you tell me the weight? before and after fill... in grams would be great. because you can do all the spinning you want you can still put in only so much in a carto with out overfilling

the reason I say weight in grams because 1g =1ml as a general rule of thumb.

maybe the weight of carto pre and post spinning to see if you are actually loosing drops

Note: this might be a time consuming thing to do... or you may not have a gram scale.... so this is an open question....

I am curious to hear the out come...

I fill my wife's blank cartomizers up for her when she buys them and i've gotten up to 33 drops in a few of them others i was only able to get anywhere from 18 to 25 drops.
I was surprised but they kept sucking up the drops so i kept adding the juice they didn't have anymore filling than the others nothing else was different about them, but i would say the average drops i can get in a blank is around 25 to 28 drops and that's just putting the drops in not doing anything else.
If you think i'm full of it i don't care i'm just saying how many drops i'm able to get in a blank cartomizer, so i would say 30 drops is very possible.

Same here but I had noticed that with that amount of juice the vapor production is lower so Im trying to keep it around 20 drops.

Ha, I don't have a gram scale laying around :).

But I do have a syringe I use for mixing. I just used the bottle I've been refilling with to put 28 drops in it and it came to exactly 1ml of liquid.

I'm not losing any liquid, I put the little plug in the carto before spinning and haven't lost a drop.
The only reason you're getting "more" in the carto using this method is that the liquid gets pushed down rather than pooling on top of the filler. So you can keep adding more.

And I use VG which is thicker so I pretty much have to use this to get the fluid to soak in.

Thanks for the quick response :) well being in Japan that:s all I have hehe I the only time I see pounds is in the mirror hehe

Ok in that case of 28 drops. 1ml is about the limit for a productive amount of juice in a carto... .7ml to .8ml is prime(that is if you wanna nit pick hehe)

so I guess it doesn;t matter if it takes 1 huge drop or 999 tiny drops 1ml should be the goal max amount going into a kr808 weather sitting,spinning, or shaking it like a polaroid picture...it:s not how you get there,but that you at least get there hehe

Thanks again for the information :)
