I've found that between 20 & 24 works for me. Even then they get overfilled sometimes. Don't forget to put the .... plug in while spinning! [In the cart, I mean.) Haha! Although, hey, whatever!
Anyone use a syringe to refill? I've been thinking about that but without the actual needle/syringe part.
I see these flexible, maybe plastic looking ones online somewhere. I thought I read its the best way to refill that is close to factory filled? I dunno, not too sure.

If you do forget the .... plug in the battery end of the cart, you will NOT like the results. Picture juice splattered all over the room. Happened to me once (I was drinking that night) and it was a nasty mess!
One thing that folks choose to forget is that cartomizers were designed to be disposable.
The fact that we get to refill these is such a cool thing, but a luxury which was not in the product design.
Refilled cartomizers aren't going to give the exact same sensation that factory cartomizers do, and will burn faster and run hotter. Not sure why, but they just do.
I refill mine, as money dictates that I have to....but once I get no satisfaction from a cartomizer, it goes in the garbage.

I have even built a 8-up spinner. I use it for spinning out the juice to the hole and on the threads when doing the CCR refilling method. Also, using it for spinning carts dry after washing them.

I have a hand spinning device that works well too, although not nearly as professional looking.

I have an old 35mm film tube with a piece of string attached. It holds 4 cartos....
Not fancy.....but it works.

Bornagainst ~ I agree. I sometimes feel going past four or five times refilling is too much? To me is starts tasting DIFFERENT? Just in my mind? I know some people state they refill many more times than this, but somehow to me it tastes different? I can't really put my finger on it though.
Thanks for everyone's input. I'm still trying to figure this all out, reading everything I can get my hands on, and so many opinions helps me figure out what is right for me. THANKS!

I still cant believe how cool your contraption looks JDVOOR.
I have NO technical ability whatsoever, and do my spin trick in a white sport sock.

OMG, white sport sock! You sound like me. I actually used a glove. Worked like a charm, five cartos as a time
Hard to say, its an imperfect technology.
I have a couple carts that I have filled 15-20 times, and huzzah! They work great!
I have some that have crapped out after 2 fills.
Does it frustrate me, immensely....lol. But, at the end of the day, what can ya do. It is still cheaper and healthier than analogs.
Also, with the improvements that Steve and the gang are coming up with, I think the refilling dark days are behind us, and it'll get much easier and consistent.

A glove? Brilliant!! That didnt even occur to me!
And at the end of day I am truly, truly grateful to have found V4L and a way to dump the tobacco sticks. It really doesn't matter to me if I have to spend more money than I was spending on the analogs, because it feels so good to be free!
Mine burn too hot when they are overfilled (cause I got lazy and didn't spin and refill and spin and refill again) the liquid seems to bubble up and get hot! But I just do a quick blow out and life goes on. besides I always have at least 2 going at the same time. I have yet to have a carto die and I do wash after a few refills.
Also, I tend to vape refilled cartos more when I am just chilling at home or at work.
If I am out and about for a while, I treat myself with a fresh carto. Be good to yourself sometimes.

I think I need to do the washing bit MaryKay. Laziness I guess. I just try and refill with the same flavor. Thanks for the tip!
And don't forget, your hairdryer will be your best friend in this process. If I wash cartomizers, and let them sit overnight, I use a blowdryer for about 1/2 a minute on low heat to just "fluff em up".
