The carts that came with my cig have a little foil cover on them and it appears as though there is a little poly below that. i am curious as to what will be the best way to refill them and what wicking material and how much to use. it is a micro. i have some halo coming that i am real excited to use and want it to work a sgood as possible. thanks in advance. i am a 3 day newbie. also these carts are so small it seems like i get the equivelent of one analog will halo juice last longer?

I don't use that type but I'm sure you're suppose to remove the foil.
Anyone want to jump in and confirm?
Also, anyone with instructions w/illistrations for the carts which includes refilling for any/all mods, please PM me. I want to put them together for the library.

yeah my atty is like an arrow and the instructions indicate the atty peirces the foil when inserted(brand new) i am mainlt concerned with refilling and not spilling or leaking anywhere. the cart is like 3/4 of an inch and i am afraid with too much wick i will have no juice they do not lat long as is. thanks
No matter how small the cartridge is, you should get more than one cigarette worth.
I strongly suggest taking a look at the thread linked in my signature below.

I only have a few of these as I have switched to a different type that uses cartomizers. but I still use them to experiment with.
You are right, not much poly in there. I have a pair of long, pointy tweezers that reach inside the cart. There's actually a smaller cart inside that you can clamp on and pull out.
I put that on a paper towel and put a few drops of liquid on them, set them aside for 30 minutes and then add a few more drops. 2 or 3 drops at a time till the fibre is saturated but not oozing. If you turn it over and it drips, IMHO, you've used too much.
From there it's just practice. Eventually you'll get a feel for it.
There are lots of fibers as well as other methods of fill 'em. With these, I just keep it simple.

I took the smaller cart out and looked it over. i am waiting on my halo juice which should be here tomo. it's either this oem juice or the atty giving me little vapor and not too many puffs. if i had to count 10-12 is all im getting and they are unsatisfying at that. former pack a day and I find myself smoking 1-3 analogs just cause i miss that feeling of fullness in my pull.
If you don't have to push a button to make your battery work, that might actually be your issue.
And if so, I once again suggest reading the thread linked in my signature below.
i appreciate the info. i understand the benes of manual switch but i have seen vids on the m-401 and janty dura, etc with auto batts and they are producing the vape i am longing for good billows...i guess i will tinker then pick up another model in time.
If you have automatic batteries it will probably take some practice to get it working good.
Stand in front of a mirror and watch the LED as you take drags.
You want to see how hard you need to draw on it to get that LED lit.
And you want to see how hard you need to draw on it to keep it lit as long as possible.
For some automatic batteries your only choice is to do consecutive short drags.
And it is often said that a quick short initial draw (primer puff) followed by a real drag will work well.
Most people recommend slower, longer draws.
I recommend getting a manual battery.
