Some questions

[BigBuxNoWhammy]

just need a little refresher as to how to properly do things.


1. I just received all my liquid bottles from e-cig.com .. took over 2 months but they're here. i was told i believe to store them in the fridge, right? I have a little drink cooler in my room, its not AS cold as a fridge but its very cool, almost as cold as a fridge. that ok? anything else i need to know?


2. I also got cores from them, but they dont fit into the njoy.. how do you guys do yours? i have like 90 cores now and they cant even go in. i tried pulling the wool stuff out and stuffing it into my njoy one.. it works, but not very well at all

thanks

1. how long do you plan on taking to use them up? drink cooler seems fine.

2. i have absolutely no idea. sorry

As long as you store your liquid and carts in a dark cool place you're good.
I did hear that when you want to use a fresh cart from the fridge, let it sit for a while till it's at room temperature.

I have had carts that did not fit in an other e-cig, I squeeze the liquid out and use it for dripping or, as I showed last night, I put it in an egg holder cup, and put the empty cart in it upside down, and the liquid gets soaked up without having to drip.
That way I always have a full cart ready anytime.

I hear you can store in a cool dark place so as Cash says, drink cooler sounds fine.

I can't use the e-cig cores in any of my pens. I had to squeeze the juice out of them and drip the liquid into other cores.

Sanneke. You owe me a coke!

thanks guys .. damn, so all of these cores are useless now? lol

where do you get more cores from then that will work with the Njoy pen style? i figured these would work cause i thought all a core was is the white stuff inside.. so i figured i could just put the white stuff into my Njoy cartridges then drip the liquid in, i wasnt aware it was the whole plastic part too. they ALMOST fit, but they're too wide at the bottom

what happens if you dont let it goto room temperature? cause what i've been doing is just dropping a few drops in and putting it back in the fridge, and it seems to be working fine when its cool. is it bad for it or something?


OH, also.. when you say you just soak the white stuff, how do you get it back into the core part after? doesnt the liquid just squeeze out when you try to shove it back in? sounds messy. plus i am not a heavy smoker, and a full cartridge of liquid will probably dry out before im even done smoking it, thats why i prefer a few drops, i think its the best way to not waste it. am i wrong? lol

to give you an idea of how much i'm smoking, i smoked about 4 real cigs a day before. so i dont really need more than a few drops a day i think, and i was told if its just left out and you're not smoking it it will dry out

I use tweezers.

probably LONG. lol

i have about 6 4ml bottles and 1 10ml bottle .. and i dont smoke much really. (i use it like 4 times a day, 10-15 drags per use, so like 4 cigs-ish) i assume 1 bottle will last me a fairly long time

Most people refill their carts 1 of several ways. see the ways listed below
1. Syringe -- Fill the syringe, stick it in the cart, and fill it up
2. Capping Off -- Using an eyedropper filled with eliquid and dripping several drops on the polyester filling
3. Egg Holder Method -- Discovered by yours truly Sanneke. Found here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/1327-other-way-refill-cartridge.html

 

[BigBuxNoWhammy]

yeah I know that, thanks though hehe

i think the best method for me is to just drip a few drops as i need them since i dont smoke much and i dont want it to dry out just sitting in the cartridge

 

[BigBuxNoWhammy]

oh another question i had.. so lets say i'm just dripping 2 or 3 drops onto the top of a cartridge at a time.. how long can you keep doing that before the wool stuff is bad? how do you know when you have to stop and use a new filling

lol sorry for all the questions. =)

some people drip a cart two or three times before tossing it, others go longer. You'll know when to change when the performance of the device drops off.

Thanks.

I have like 90-100 of these cores that don't even fit in my Njoy.

If i pull the wool out of the fresh e-cig.com cores and put it into my Njoy core, then drip onto it, is that ok? because when you pull the wool out it's not as solid anymore, it all seperates and you have to like push it into the Njoy with something small. it seems to be working but i'm not sure if its very good to be stuffing it in like that.

 

[CaSHMeRe]

i probably wouldn't drip a completely dry and unused cart. If i were you, i would soak first, then use tweezers and insert into the cart

how come? it's working well for me. wasnt aware i shouldnt be doing that lol

 

[CaSHMeRe]

its not a matter of shouldn't ... lol

dripping an unused cart (at least in my eyes) would only fill up the top portion. It seems to me that if you soaked the entire filler, you would be able to go longer inbetween filling it up.

just my $.02 cents

 

[TheEmperorOfIceCream]

Anyhow Scoop, remember we're all new. You could easily come up with the gonzo method of loading carts...

With or without?

LOL,
What happen to the darn pic I posted?

Want me to post it again?

I think it's brilliant the way it works.
It was a fluke how I found out about it, and I shared with all of you.

I now have 2 carts going at the same time, whenever a cart is empty, or the atomiser tells me it needs some juice, I pull one out of my egg holder.

LOL.

Hubby told me tonight it's a full time job........to keep the e-cig going.

Nah, it drips through. That's what I do most of the time. EIther wait a few seconds every 5 drops or so, or speed the process by sticking a pin down one side and "squishing" the wool one way, then another. Maybe I'll make that my first Tip & Trick demo video.
