I finally got my carto primed and I'm actually using it. Only took me about 2 hours give or take the time I got distracted. It only took me 8 paper towels too. Yea me!!!
2 hours? Oh dear lord, you must have the patience of a saint.
It gets better. I promise. I can prime a carto by "burping" my IBT in the thingy, or if not using an IBT, then just using the suction that god gave me (dry pulls with my hand under the carto, NOT attached to the ProVari), in under 5 minutes. I do try to let it sit for a bit, but more often than not it goes right onto the tube.
I hope I don't sound like I'm boasting, but I'm down to like 45 seconds.
1. Leave bottom condom on all the way.
2. Fill, flood to the tippy top
3. Pull the condom down slowly, it will vacuum draw the juice down into the fill.
4. Once the condom is a quarter inch down, squeeze and release the tip to burp as you add more juice
5. Once it stops accepting juice, remove the condom, add a couple more drops.
6. Put your finger on the bottom connector hole as a seal, and blow in the open top, air will exit out the punch holes further drawing juice to the punch ports.
DONE. Load the tank, and there is no need to crawl the volts up. That baby is moist and wanting.

I just read Baditude's instructions and got it right the first time...lol
Of course, I'd watched PBusardo's video on the Slap Yo Mama tank tool and got a basic idea of how it all was supposed to go in so that helped a lot.
Frankly, I expected to have more trouble with it than I did. I wish I hadn't been so fearful of the challenge or I wouldn't own so many clearomizers that I don't care about.

What is this thing "Last Call" you speak of? It sounds like a priest should be summoned.
I usually go by the time on the computer, but I was getting dressed to run an errand by 5PM, checked my watch and freaked! I'd been putting off this this chore and this was my last chance.
Well, no. But I haven't done it in a while and I was trying to do it like in Ocelot's blog and had to go back and re-read it several times. The other times I've done it, I've made a complete mess and ruined a few cartos not doing it right. I put all my carto tanks away when I found clearos are more my speed. Here's the thing, if it involves liquids or glue, I'm bound to make a mess. I was trying to do things neatly which is a stretch for me.
And now for something completely different....
As I may have mentioned I'm completely redoing my living/work space so I can set it up for a dedicated lab area and expand my work area for my craft. As I was going through my stuff I came across....a thurible! I'm not even kidding....lol I got it with a Christmas gift tucked inside it many years ago and just stuck it away in a box. The hinge has come apart on one side and the hook that holds it closed is a bit oxidized but that's nothing that can't be remedied.
It's not an official church one or anything. It's just a round copper censer and it's suspended with a red tassel cord instead of chains but it's a thurible, nonetheless.
Of all the weird things I've got around here, I just didn't think I'd have something like that. It had completely slipped my mind. I mean, who actually USES a thurible unless one is in church and conducting a mass?
An omen, perhaps?

Papa Emeritus II does. He swung it within a couple feet of my face at the Fox Theatre last year in fact.
I just ordered a new camera today so I should be able to take pics soon.
Judge Dredd just listed a full-sized SS ProVari V2.5 with extension cap for a low price in the FS/FT section in case anyone is interested.
Who give gifts packaged in a thurible? There's got to be a story here.....
