Refilling the cartomizer: The Movie

[aubergine]

I have a growing pile of carts that I either smoked up or don't like, waiting for wash and refill. In the beginning i was just tossing them in a jar with no condoms... now i recover them. If I wash well will the uncovered ones be too dried out to save, or does it make no difference?

They should save just fine if you clean them with hot or boiling water.

Thanks Taryn!

Just re-filled my first cart using the corkscrew as the tool. WOW!!

I thankfully watched this video before ever trying to refill a carto. I'm sure it has saved me A LOT of money!!! I would have been pulling the white plastic things off with a piece of metal forever and I'm sure they would all be dead by now. You also do an excellent job of showing close ups and explaining things thoroughly. Thanks for the video!!!!

I am new to the forum and I have been vaping for a month. I've been using my V4L 808 for about 2 weeks (love it) and I have used every type of method I have been able to find to refill the carts. I am still having the problem that they never taste or work as well as they did when they were new.

I have been making sure to open the carts, even brand new ones, to make sure the hole is lined up and still find every cart is different in production. I have made the discovery that if you fill the cart w/o any end caps and just tilt it the liquid absorbs better for immediate use. I have also noticed that every fill on a cart decreases how long it lasts. Has anyone else experienced this one?

Is anyone else out there dealing with the consistency problem?

I have also tried different methods as far as starting the week with 7 and try to make them last all week by either filling the same one over and over again until it dies or waiting until the end of the day and refill the ones I used. It seems that no matter which way I go, I still use about 15ml (3 5 ml botttles) a week.

Does anyone have some suggestions on methods that work for them?

I can honestly say that it seems like no matter what I do, the cost will at least be double that any of my 3-piece e-cigs. I'm not complaining about that because it is still 50% less than my previous analong addiction. I would just like to get as close to the same flavor as the new ones. By the way I vape 3 carts a day (new ones) worth. If they are refilled carts about 5-6.

I have the same problem. I'm still completely converted but I do wish there was an easier or more foolproof refilling method.

Okey, im alittle chocked, 5-6carts a day? I vape 1 cart a day and i think im vaping much I have just refilled many of mine and though not all was a good fill (over filled one got jucie in my mouth juck that one ended up in the trash) iv been vaping my refilled Coconut all day and its still juciy and good. How much did you smoke when you were a smoker and what strenght do you vape?

Wheres Kc been anyhow?

Anyone hear from him at all? Been ages!

 

[GEMgarden]

that really puts things into perspective. Refilling sounded like an operation before, now it looks pretty easy. I will try it as soon as I drain some of my cartos.

How many times can a carto be re-filled
