Hi

It seems like everyone has their own way to fill cartos. This is mine. It might work for you, it might not; vaping is a trial & error/learning curve.
The Ocelot Method of Carto Filling (aka The Upside-Down Condom)

Everyone has their own favorite method fo filling cartos, as my friend Ocelot has said. My preference is to fill from the top, after first putting a wood toothpick in the center air hole to keep out juice. I then do the "drip and shake" method, as described in the first part of the article I wrote on cartotank setup:

My guess is you didn't fill the carto adequately the first time. Once you burn the polyfill or the sleeve the heating coil is in you will NEVER get that BURNT taste out...no matter how much more juice you add after that. Consider the carto ruined and start from scratch with a new one.



Are you using single coil or dual coil cartos? To me, dual coil carts always ended up tasting burnt at some point. I suspect its because the top coil ends up burning the wrapping around it or the polyfill as the juice gets sucked down to the bottom of the cartomizer.



What ohm, or resistance, cartomizer are you using? And at what voltage (single or variable voltage battery device)?

I've had that same thing happen to me. Was only with a certain Brand. Switched brands- fixed problem.

I like the Boge F16 cartos. They are pre-punched and can be had for $6.89 per box of 5 at Sure Vapes.Boge F16 Tank Cartomizers (1 box):
I use the bottom fill method, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSQcU-33lvI , but there are many ways to prime.

Some carto fillers just don't seem to want to pull the juice down like others do.

I like to do a "drip and blow" method.

Drip around the edge then force some air through to push the juice down into the filler, repeat until you get a little bit of juice spritzing out the bottom air hole.

Only downside is that you sometimes get some juice on your lips if you aren't careful.

I am sure that all of the methods listed above work for their users. I used to have lots of problems with Boge cartos until I started using this method to pre-clean and prime them:

1) Rinse in Hot water and blow them out into a paper towel
2) Rinse in a tupperware container filled with cheap vodka and blow out into a paper towel
3) Install in tank, fill tank and prime buy taking 4 or 5 five seconds "draws" without firing the carto. You should see air bubbles rising in the tank from the holes in the carto.
4) Vape away

Works for me.
