I don't know about everyone else, but since I got my riva I've been refilling using the condom method. It's messy and I kept feeling that my cartomizers weren't lasting as long as they could each time. So, today I began filling with a syringe (my mom was a nursing student and has all that stuff!) and this first carto today has lasted me all day so far (about 8 hours so far) without any sign of burning yet. So, while the condom method might be easier, yet more messy, I am converted to filling with a syringe now, as the hit and flavor are just the same, but the refilling will happen half as often. Before it was easy to go through 3-4 carto's a day if I wasn't careful, and today I am still on this same one from close to the beginning of my day. Granted, it was a fresh carto, but I am led to believe that a freshly filled one tends to burn out a bit quicker than one that is already primed.
I also soaked my old ones I've been using throughout the week in 99% rubbing alcohol today and then rinsed them out with water and then blew them out. Due to how these carto's are designed, a blow dryer isn't feasible really, so I will just let them sit and dry over night. Here's hoping the questions I've asked and research I've done doesn't ruin them!
