Really Stupid Question From Noob

[Trayce]

When you fill a carto you take the carto off the battery to fill (I have an auto unsealed batt), then you're supposed to blow any extra juice out the hole so it doesn't leak into the battery... so I have been blowing through the mouth end, flushing juice out the threaded end... is that the right way to blow it? (no pun intended)

you should be filling the carto at an angle so it doesn't get in the center hole. This way only the poly fill gets soaked and it shouldn't leak at all unless you over fill it.

Thanks bennystrat, I do that. But I also blow through it as a precaution and cause I'm new at this and until I get more familiar with it, I probably will overfill accidentally now and then. But I don't know if I am blowing though it the right way.

Exactly correct, from the mouthpiece towards the battery end.

Stick part of a wooden toothpick into the center air hole while filling your cartomizer and you won't have to put your mouth on the cart to blow it out. How To Refill Blu or Luci Electronic Cigarette Cartridge - YouTube

Sure is. Don't forget to wipe the threads afterwards to make sure the bottom of your carto is perfectly dry before you screw it back on your battery. A leak from a carto will kill the switch in your auto battery.

I always overfill my cartos. I once under filled one and then proceeded to put it in my tank. First vape good. second vape burnt. Man that sucked. Had to drain my tank and start over. So I always just blow em out. whats a couple drops of juice? Like mentioned before wipe your connection well. Best!
