Refilling clearomizer...please help!

[daniele25]

I may have pulled a real newbie move here...I ordered all this awesome stuff which arrived today, but I'm having trouble actually using it because I'm not 100% sure how I need to be filling them. Before, I was using the ProSmoke e-cig (M401 i beleive) and refilling their cartridges with different e-juice. I didn't need a syringe to do that, so when i placed my recent orders to upgrade, I did not order one.

I want to fill 2 things. The first being the 312 1.6ml Clearomizer. Is there anyway to do this without a syringe? I was looking on Youtube but didnt find anyone doing it any other way.

Next is the cartridges for the 510 i ordered. The starter kit came with these little clear cartridges, and I can pop the little plastic end off with a paper clip, but it looks like juice will just come pouring out the other end if I just put some drops in there right out of the bottle? Any tips on this?

If I can just get one of them filled I'd be happy, then I can order a syringe ASAP and do this the right way.

Thanks for the help!

On the cart style you can either pop off the rubber end and drip it in, if it comes out the other side wipe it with a paper towel, no biggie. You could also use one of the rubber end caps, fill it 1/2 way with juice and push it in the rubber cap end (don't have to pull the rubber plug) This will force / wick up the juice into the cart, wipe it off and your good to go!

As for the tank syle I'm not sure. I think you can pop off the end cap on some of them. I heard they are hard to do.. not sure if you have that style or not.

Yep, the clearomizers require either a needle pointed bottle or a syringe to easily fill, although you might be able to use an eye dropper with a nice pointy tip (like on the Johnson Creek sampler set).

On your cartridges, I'm guessing you got the 510 tank system. My first attempt to fill those from the top had me watching the fluid run out the bottom - lol. If so, you fill these from the bottom (after installing once to poke the hole out). This is easiest with either a needle pointed bottle or a syringe, but I guess you could try to fill those just with the normal drip bottle or a dropper (and do some cleanup when the fluid refuses to go into that hole). If you were lucky and got the 901 tanks with the 510 tank atomizer, you can just remove the whole soft bottom, fill directly from your bottle, and pop the end back on.
Good luck and happy vaping.

Great - thanks for the insight. Looks like I will be ordering a syringe asap for that clearomizer.

On the 510...and on the little clear cartridges, one end is round, another end is flat. They came with no instructions at all, except "refill cartridges from the bottom". LOL... So there is a little hole on the inner plastic area that I need to poke through? I got the rubber cap off the flat end and put some juice in...it didnt leak through, but that also tells me there is no airflow either. So I'm assuming that is the hole you are saying I need to poke through? I'll have to find something sharper than a paper clip i think! Total newbie confusion going on over here tonight!

Just push the tank into the atomizer - it has a spike to poke the hole. That is if this is what you have.

I love the way the clearomizers work, but hate the way you have to fill them.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone comes up with an easier to fill kind sometime soon.

So you fill yours with a syringe I assume?

You can actually remove the inner seal to get the juice in, it's just kind of hard to get the seal back on right. Really the only risk you pose here, is pinching the wick, which will cause a burning taste, or leakage, in the case of not getting the seal back on properly.

Here is a picture of the cartridges I'm trying to fill. I got the juice in...but its not working properly. I'm not sure if there is a hole that needs to be punched through on the inside? If so...connecting it to the atomizer didnt do it.

Hello Jewels Tanks

It seems like it should be so simple, but for some reason it isn' for me!

You absoutely need a syringe to fill the CR2's. You don't have to get one of those little blunt needles though. Just go to a drugstore pharmacy and pick up some 3ml syringes with needles. It think 18 ga. is thin enough. The standard size that comes with most 3ml will work. They're legal. There are pharmacies open 24hrs. in most decent sized cities. Go NOW!

Bring your cartos if you have nosy paranoid types behind the counters.

Oh, now that I think of it, you CAN fill the clearomizers without a syringe. Like Forkeh said, use a small screwdriver or something to remove the seal from the top, over the wick. I think that's what people do when they fluff up the wick. In fact, one of the mods to a CR2 is to remove that seal entirely and just use the upper ring. Throw away that seal and push the smaller ring shaped seal down close to the wick, leaving a small space between it and the wick. There are vids on Youtube showing how to do that.

on the ego vision clearos (stardusts) you can slowly drip down the side

The link you provided looks to me like an EGO-C / EGO-T kind of a tank. If it really is a 'Clearomizer' that looks like one of these Fluxomizers from GotVapes that have the wick going to the coil near your mouth, then check out this video.



In the beginning he goes over removing the three rubber rings from the tip. When you get to the third one, be REALLY careful not to damage the coils with whatever tool you are using to take them off with. I ripped out the coil wire on a Fluxomizer trying to get under the third ring. I ended up taking a set of tweezers with a tip that is about the width of a matchstick and bending the bottom 1/8" at a 60 degree angle as my pulling tool.

Since I had a screwed up Fluxomizer, I doubled up the middle (thin) rings. In the end of the video he uses one flat ring as an option with the ridges facing down. I found that this may still allow a bit of juice to get past it, so I added the ring from the dead Fluxomizer, flat side to flat side, which gives me a bit more protection from getting juice into the driptip.

With that hard to remove third inner ring out of there, and one or two thinner flat rings in it's place, you would have a much easier time of removing them and then carefully dripping along the inside of the tube when it's held at about a 45 degree angle.

You CAN remove the tube from the base. Read this to the end before you do it.

Screw the clearomizer into the battery and hold it with both hands like you were puling on a bar. Use a bit if wiggle motion with your fingers on the tube near the base as you SLOWLY pull it off of the base.

Be ready to steady your hands as it finally comes apart. While you slowly pull it apart, stop and look at how much of the tube is still on the base, you will see it being pulled apart. Use a second clearomizer to compare hyow far away from the threads the tube is being pulled apart.

If you have juice in it as you pull it apart, hold the battery end up and a 45 degree angle so juice doesn't run out so much once it finally comes out.

Once the tube comes free of the base, STOP and look at it. There is a this air shaft running through the clearomizer. You will see the wicks and the power wires running to the coil piece near the tip. Hopefully as you pull the base off of the tube, the coil is free of the third ringand can be pulled all the way out.

If the coil piece is stuck in that third ring, DO NOT PULL IT OUT! You can rip out the two thin wires from the coil. I pull apart a ballpoint pen and use the guts of it to help push the third (inner) ring down through the tube and out the bottom end with the coil. If you have juice in here, it will be messy.

Then take off the third (inner) ring, and make sure the coil is seated on the center air shaft. You can twist the coil on the tip of the shaft a bit so the wires don't stick out so much as you put it back in the tube.

Use gentle force as you put the tube back on. Watch that the wick isn't caught between the base and the tube. Once you have it on a bit, stop and look at how far to the threads you are, and don't go down too far to the threads. The tube should almost touch the battery as you have it back on the base.

Now you can tilt-drip into the mouth end of the clearomizer and use the thin ring (ridges down) and driptip with the unit.

I hope this helps.

Erm, sorry about the long post, kinda got carried away. I still hope it helps somebody.
