refill prefilled cartomizer?

[Clover~]

So I was wondering if you got the same liquid for a cartomizer could you refill it? like I have vanilla, could i put vanilla juice in it and it still work and taste good? Im sure someone has asked this before but I thought this would be a quicker way of finding my answer!

I do. Look for the sticky's of Mistress Nomad's videos...she explains how to pop the cap and refill...although so far I have a tiny dropper and refill straight into the hole without any issues...but I would watch her videos and do it her way as she has experience...I'm only a week into this, lol.

Oh ya I watched those videos last week! She totally convinced me to get the kr8. Oh MistressNomad! thank you! ya I was pretty sure I remembered hearing this could be done. I really like a bunch of the flavors Ive been trying in the prefilled cartomizers on V4L. they keep giving me discounts so Ive ordered a few more cartos. I havent jumped the fence into juice quite yet, but the thought of just refilling what I had crossed my mind.

Yes, you can refill them, just be warned that the performance and flavor quality starts to decrease pretty quickly after the first refill on those cartomizers (even the blank ones). They also tend to start getting hotter when you draw on them for some reason. But it's definitely possible and would get you by until you can get some new carts in

well hey if I can use them even one more time Im still saving money right?

I've refilled mine several times and have noticed no decrease in performance. I still get great throat hits, flavor, and vapor. I've been using the prefilled black cartos with silver threads and hard end caps from litecigusa, but I received four boxes yesterday (not pre-filled) with soft end caps. I washed most of the hard caps about a week ago in hot water that I had brought to a boil and used a larger syringe to push the same very hot water through the filters, and they dried out fine overnight (with a fan blowing on them).

I was using the condom method of refilling, which has worked fine and is quick and easy, but a little messy. I just filled 10 of the soft caps using the 10 mL syringe I bought from Wal-Mart that comes with a little rubber white cone-shaped thing that the syringe goes into on one end and the carto hooks to the other end (threaded end of the carto). I was able to fill each carto quickly, with less mess, and watch from the other end of the carto (with the soft cap taken off) to know when the carto was full. Each carto took about 1 mL (or a little less or a little more) of liquid to fill.

There's a YouTube video of using the Wal-Mart syringe and the rubber cone-shaped thing, but I don't have the link right now. You should be able to refill cartos many times, and just clean them every week or two using very hot water and a syringe.

Here's the YouTube video I referred to. It was intended to show how to clean out cartomizers, but I just used the same syringe and rubber cone to refill cartomizers. Worked great, but took a little longer than the condom refill method.
