Sharing a trick while hoping to get one in return ;D

[Liquinator]

Ok first of all I'd love to share a "trick" I read on the forum a long time ago. It's about the Provari. As most of you probably know it will shut down the firebutton when it's electronics think you should charge your battery. Actually it's not a good idea to cut out safety mechanisms, however, if you screw off the part where your battery sits and then again put it back in place the Provari will fire without any complaints. This is pretty helpful when your battery dies while you can't charge it or have no backupbattery with you. I hope you get the idea

Secondly, I'd like to know what you guys do if you flood your cartomizer. I always fill and fill because I'm so anxious to start firing it when it's dry. So one out of two times I flood and I'm never able to blow out all of the excess liquid which blocks the airflow. It will still work but sometimes the draw can get quite stiff. Any handy tips available on how to clean the hole easily in order to maximize the airflow (apart from not overfilling it PP)?

Cheers,
Liquinator.

When filling/refilling a carto SLOW DOWN, let the carto absorb the fluid.
If you slow down and fill it properly, you won't have to fill it as often.

That's not true about the ProVari. All it does is cause the "low battery" flashing to stop for a bit. When your battery gets down around 3.2 or so, it's going to shut itself off, and you can unscrew the battery all you want, it won't matter.

As far as overfilling cartomizers....I guess "slow down" is the best advice. Personally, I use a bottle with a luer lock needle on it and have figured out how many seconds to count to get it filled. I just insert my needle between the batting and the inside carto wall, squeeze the bottle and count my seconds (usually move the needle to the other side midway) and WATCH the top of the carto to see if it gets a sort of glisten to the top. That's it. In the event I overestimate a bit (happens occasionally when "topping off" or refiling) it's such a small amount it's easy enough to blow out.

I experiment with drags when I over fill. Sometimes you can move the liquid around if you take a hard sharp drag and then a couple successive long soft drags.

If you use one of the oversized eGo cartomizers, like this one, you can reduce the amount of condensation coming through the included drip tip by jamming a normal cartomizers mouthpiece plug into the bottom of it. It also provides a slightly cooler vape.

There is a forum poster who plugs the hole up with a toothpick to fill carto. Still you need to give a little time. I blow thru the top lightly because I think it will help the liquid get further down to the bottom. I do that.. Add more, blow light(exhale thru) drip some more until it is shiny enough for me. By the time I'm done with all that it seems safe to vape. So far so good.

Oh yeah, I wasn't thinking along the lines of filling cartos faster. I have a tip. Shake it like a thermometer. Works great. Shake that laffy taffy.

It sounds like a really bad idea to cut out safety mechanisms...you wouldn't want your battery to blow, would you?

They make an attachment for syringes to fill and empty a carto it screws on to a syring and the 510 connector. I tried it and it does a pretty good job. You can also flush it out to clean it with that. You flood the tank then with draw it and pull out a lot of the juice with the syringe I use a bigger syringe than needed so I can really pull on it to suck out the excess. I found it to be less apt to flood it for me.

I condom fill my cartos before they go in a tank. Works perfectly every time

@gthompson I've tried it myself and it definetely works. Try it yourself.

@symmetry It won't blow. It's going to blow if it gets below 2,7V or something and this won't happen because the safety mechanism already comes in at like 3,2V. I'm not doing this everytime all day but it's pretty neat if it's an "emergency"

@others.. Thanks for sharing. I think I'm gonna give the toothpick a shot

Have a nice day!

When filling use a round toothpick in the tube if filling from the top...will keep overflow from filling the tube and you can let excess soak in or dump it back into your juice bottle.
