So I tried to search through other posts but just ended up more confused. I'm still kinda new at this (bought my first PV in 2009 but stopped using it for a while and just started back 10 days ago). Right now I have a 901. I just bought an Ego with blank cartos to refill with the juice I have. Problem is...I have no idea how to get the juice in the things. With the carts for the 901 and the regular carts for the Ego I can just drop a few drops onto the filler and be done. I don't see anyway to open the carto to get to the filler to drop liquid in. I read a few people talking about using syringes but I really don't wanna do all that. I also have read on the condom method, but the rubber tip that comes on the carto doesn't look like it would hold the amount that would fill the carto. So yeah, I'm totally confused and super sad about having a new toy I can't play with because I can't figure out how to fill the thing. Any help much appreciated!!

Try dripping a drop at a time into the connector end. I do that with 510 cartos and it works fine. I don't know how many the ego cartos hold but the ones I use hold about 15-20 drops.
let me find a you-tube video I can post.
Ok, I can't find a decent video.
Take both silicon caps off, top and bottom. Starting at the mouth piece end use a paperclip and gently remove the cap. Look inside and you will see another cap with 2 holes. Use the paperclip and remove that cap, gently.
Use a syringe and put in about 1.5 to 1.75 ml of e-liquid into the syringe and insert into the center hole that is visible from the removal end of caps you took off. The syringe will force open a foil covered, cup if you will, where the e-liquid will be dispersed. Do not push the plunger until you have broken through the foil, you can use the paperclip to do this before inserting the needle. Slowly disperse-pushing the plunger and rotating evenly throughout the cartomizer.
Now, if you do not want to use a needle you can......
Take off both silicon(e) caps. Remove both caps at the mouth end and puncture a hole in the foil with a paperclip. Replace both caps. Turn the cartomizer around and using the silicon(e) cap from the bottom (threaded end) fill the cover with e-liquid and slowly push the cartomizer into the cap forcing the liquid in through the threaded end. How do you know how much. That is where the measurement tool of choice is needed. Up to 1.75ml for a first fill. 1 1/2ml fills after that. A syringe is best for measuring the liquid and once you have decided to measure this way, you may as well fill it with the syringe. After I fill I let mine rest over my e-liquid bottle (drip tip removed) to allow any excess juice to drip back into my bottle. No waste, no haste.Good Luck! Hope this helps.

Ego carto - flat tip - use paperclip or something like it to remove the cover from the end of the mouth piece. inside you will find a cover with two small holes, use your syringes to put liquid into the carto.
That worked!! Thanks! I'm sure my measuring was off so it's probably not 100% filled, but I don't have a syringe or any measuring tool to use. I'm gonna see if I like the cartos enough to go through the hassle of the syringes and all. If not might just order the regular carts like I have on the 901.
Thanks everyone!!
Do you have the eGo or 510 cartos? If you have the eGo, does it hold about 20 drops as well?
Thanks for posting the video I'm thinking about getting an ego and using cartos. You've helped me a lot.
