Using a syringe is incredibly easy and quick. I fill a Ressurector in about 10 seconds. Using a syringe takes all the guess-work out of filling and ensures they are filled correctly. Plus theres not waiting for the juice to settle since you push the needle to the bottom and fill from the bottom up. If you order cartos from CCV you get a free syringe and that syringe is perfect for filling. The condom method works okay for regular size cartos like the Boges, but I find its not as good for XL cartos.
I feel like a lot of people that use the condom method or drip fill because theyve never tried filling with a syringe. I know thats not the case for everyone, but I think if you tryd it, youd realize how quick and easy it actually is.
I originally posted this awhile back for someone that asked how to fill the Ressurectors, but really this is for all cartos. Just instead of putting 2ml of juice in the syringe that the Ressurectors hold, put the amount that whatever carto you are using holds. If you dont know then just put extra and fill slowly. If you watch the top of the polyfill you will see the juice come to the top of the polyfill. Once the top looks "slushy" it is filled completely. Heres the copy & paste.
How to fill a cartomizer with a syringe:
"All you have to do is take the dropper part of the bottle off your juice and fill your syringe with 2ml for a new carto. Take the rubber tip off the carto and carefully insert the needle down the side pushing against the metal. DO NOT go thru the filler because it will move it and you could potentially break a connection and your carto. Slide the needle down the side and go all the way to the bottom. Then slowly start dispensing some juice. Dont dispense it all bc then it won't be evenly distributed. Put alittle in, then take it out and insert the needle in a different spot. I normally do it in 3 spots (in a triangle) I found it distributes the best, but you could just do it in 2, on opposite sides. Make sure the needle is at the bOttom bc then you will not have to wait at all for it to settle. Disperse slowly and you will begin to see the toP of the filler become slushy. It is full then, don't put more. If its a new carto is will def hold 2ml, if your refilling it won't take a lot so pay attention and once it gets alittle slushy stop. While your filling hold a napkin or something under the carto bc if you do it too fast a few drops will come out the battery end. If that happens its only bc you did it too fast and the poly fill didn't absorb quick enough.( that happens to me bc I am impatient and fill it in about 10 sec, so I just hold a paper towel or napkin underneath.) wipe up the drops and put the rubber cap back on the carto. Then put the carto between your hands and rub back and forth spinning the carto quickly. This will insure the liquid is evenly distributed in case you put too much on one side from the syringe.
Now you have a perfectly filled ressurector that is ready to be used right away!"
Follow this and I think youll realize how easy it actually is. Most people catch on very quickly. Filling cartos correctly def helps them to last longer. I get avg 2-4 weeks with one Ressurector.
Hope this helps, Goodluck!
