Refilling Bloog Cartos with Bloog Juice?

[Valdrak]

If anyone else has gotten their juice, and it has a nice drip-tip already connected to the bottle... how is everyone refilling now?

Condom fill method?

Taking off the plastic mouthpiece and dripping in liquid?

I am curious what everyone is doing and how they are successful... I have yet to refil a carto and feel satisfied with my results.. I somehow.. always seem to mess it up... and it doesn't work like it did before.

(I noticed that since you can take off the rubber/plastic mouthpiece on bloog cartos.. that I have access to the polyfil, and can easily drip into it...)

Any help would be... well... helpful. Thank guys.

I haven't received my order yet but I have great results with top dripping.

Alternate dripping on filling until it pools on top and a thermometer shake until it will accept no more juice.
Quick check to dry battery end if any juice dares try to escape since I use auto batteries.
Replace end cap and enjoy vaping.


Works great and I don't waste time, cleanup effort and juice by bottom filling.
I stopped filling cartos up 25+ at a time and only prefill enough for the day if I am going out.
Have become an expert at holding a glass bottle in left hand with carto held at angle between thumb crook/bottle and using a glass dropper to drip into the carto with right hand. When I watch TV at night I balance a small maglight on my lady bumps and point it at the carto, so I can even do my fillings in the dark. YMMV with the flashlight part.


Hope this helps.

I received the menthol juice, and it's spot on! I tried filling three bloog cartomizers and the first two were successful and the last one....the juice just ran right through it...like it the filler didn't soak it up. It was a one time used Bloog menthol prefilled cartomizer. At first I thought the carto was full, but it was in fact pretty close to empty. The next day, my wife tried to fill one and the same happened to her on a brand new blank carto. I'm not sure why these leak straight through...never had any problems with any other juice. I'm just a little paranoid that this will kill my battery if I don't catch the leaking cartomizers. /justsaying

I have always used the condom fill method. I've not ordered any bloog juice yet but I would imagine it works the same as the liquid I use. Here is a link to a video by Leaford showing how to refill.

Sounds like they may have made the juice too thin maybe? A little VG may help

Either way I am sure they work. Been refilling mine for months now and with liquid from a dozen or so venders. They all seem to work for me.

you probably put the juice in the hole which is located in the middle of the carto which would let the juice run right through it and comes out the bottom.

I just top filled my previously used carto with 555 (which doesn't exist) juice straight from the mailbox so I can offer some observations while I vape it.

It does appear to be a tiny bit "thinner" than the Vapor Station Frisco (555) I had been using, however it didn't run straight through. But I did notice that since it is thinner that it acts differently if you fill to fast or overfill while you are top dripping.

It doesn't cling to the edges of the carto as well so if you drip too much too fast into the carto it pools over the center hole (where you don't want it to go in). Since it's a bit thinner it does tend to run down that center hole faster than you can tilt the carto to redistribute the juice.

I tried refilling a freshly washed and thoroughly dried previously used carto and it just soaked it up Bloog juice perfectly. Then I added juice to freshen up a carto I was using and it pooled.

Looking at the a carto filled with VS Frisco and Bloog 555 side by side shows that the Bloog juice filled carto looks much like a pre-filled Bloog carto where the carto filler looks fluffy/saturated while the other carto filler looks more puffy/coated.

It seemed that the Bloog juice having a thinner viscosity saturated the filler with less juice so it is easier to accidentally overfill it versus the amount of other branded juice you might use.

Hope my helps.

I've been filling Bloog cartos with no problems by dropping 10 drops in on the side, not down the center hole. Then I wait until the juice is soaked in, then fill another 10 drops. I usually never put in more than 20 drops as to not overfill. I have overfilled in the past, I would then just wait until it stops dropping out the bottom. These two suspect cartos just started leaking through almost immediately. However, I haven't had any more problems since my post above. Just seemed a little strange.

astro - didn't mean to imply you were doing it wrong at all...just that I did notice it will pool up faster than other juices I've used so that may be a factor. Trust me we have plenty of mysteries around our house - hubby thinks we have gremlin infestation some days! ; )

I like to throw a thermometer shake at my cartos - figure I might burn some calories that way at least.

Happy vaping!

No worries! I just thought it strange and wanted to have an accurate description of what happened.
