I went to petsmart and got some fluval. I took an old cart,put in 6 drops of juice,inserted batting,topped of w/2more drops. Got 2 good draws than nothing. pushed the batting back down into the cart than back up to the edge,still nothing.I'm using a dse 901. Any guesses?
Chuck--the core needs to be moist. Fill till it is just about to pool on the top--but NOT POOLING--you do not have enough e-liquid in the new core for it to wick. A new core should take at least 1 ML (1.4 ml of e-liquid for penstyle new core)--So filler up--Hope that helps, Sun
loose is the secret,
not stuffed tight,
it is there to hold the liquid and stop it flooding out,
too tight stuffed,
and it will not flow......

thanks sun I will add more juice and let u know what happens. btw I just opened a new blank,removed battng,put in 6 dps replaced batting +4 more drps on top...working fine.
Chuck--In my opinon, as well as many other members who have posted many times---without a doubt the best way to fill and refill a cartridge is with a syringe or an inkjet printer cartridge refiller (same think as a syringe with a blunt tip) You can get syringes from www.puresmoker.com or www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com --You stick it all the way down in the core and fill from the bottom up. Now you have a full cartridge without all the guess work. Just make sure to fill till the top is moist, but not pooling on the top. If you over did it and you have pooling, just backout with the syringe--Hope that Helps--Happy Vaping--Sun
thanks dikerry and sun i took both of your advices i trimmed the batting to about 1/2 as much as it was and i also added more drops and everythings working fine now
thanks again
Chuck
thanks again

Without making you go into to much detail for something I could probably figure out with some searching, is there a particular reason why this is the best way? I have a syringe, but I have been using igetcha's (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...iscussion/5572-evo-user-tips-video-guide.html) method of pulling the stuffing out, putting drops in, putting the stuffing back in, etc. mainly just because that was how he did it in the video and it seemed logical
Hi sun, Katy sent me a 5cc syrge w/needle in my 901 kit. should i draw up about 1.4 MLs and then inject it under the stuffing and then top it off or is there a better way and/or a video i can watch
thanks again for everyone's help
Chuck
thanks again for everyone's help

Chuck--Fill up the syringe to 1.5 ml, then insert it all the way down the core and fill till the top is moist and return the rest to the bottle. Works great every time--Hope that Helps--Sun

Maybe when initially filling a blank cart, people might use syringes (I never have but some might). A lot of people don't even refill, they just top off. Syringes are really not necessities that way.

My trick is,
push the inner cart just past the top with a paperclip
hold it there with your fingernail
now take that same paperclip, and slide it down the side of the wool and tilt the cart very slightly so the paperclip is on upper edge ... this allows air to rise up the gap
drip to fill. You can check the level in the cart by pushing the paperclip over a tiny bit, compressing the wool
This is SO fast, works perfect, and a paperclip can go with you anywhere
( although a syringe could too, I guess, lol )

I do the paperclip too. The juice seems to drip down the paperclip to get to the bottom of the cart so it works similar to a syringe (I did get a syringe and it is not all that much better than the paperclip).
My partner suggested that wicking for oil lanterns might work best. He was concerned about polyester and says those are cotton. Anyone think that might be better?
We are awaiting our first e-cigarettes so it'll probably be quite awhile before we start experimenting with this type of thing. I'm taking it as a real good sign that he's getting involved rather than dodging the entire idea of e-cigarettes as he had been doing at first.

I'm not sure how cotton would work compared to polyester. Don't know if anyone has tried it yet. The polyester doesn't ignite or anything so there really isn't a problem with fumes if that's what is concerning you? I'm also finding that the homemade cartridges I'm making are actually working better then the pre-filled ones I bought. I bought a 16 oz bag atWalmart for $2.67 and theres enough for hundreds if not thousands of refills.
Im not sure how much stuff I use per cartridge. Just a little pinch is all you need. I am restuffing the original cartridges I bought initially. Probably got 15 boxes worth of original pre filled with my initial purchases so no need to buy blanks yet.
I"m down to 1ml of juice .,3 old carts,1med cart, a box of fluval stuffing,and some glycern,I"m trying to make it till tomorrow when hopfully I"ve got juice and carts comming.Thanks 4 your reply.....Chuck
