Squonking, changing batteries, and carto questions of a noob! :)

[kblush]

mlinky - It's a pleasure to meet you Margie!!! You sure gave me a lot to think about in your post!!! You probably know this, but for everyone who doesn't: VaporForLife is having a sale today of 30% off everything (with the promo code 2012) so I may do a little shopping!

canoeist - Thank you for sharing that tip! I can tell by your avatar that you're not new to all this so i appreciate your sharing your method with me!! When you say that you squonk a few times before you fire it, does that mean you just squeeze the bottle or do you take dry pulls while you squeeze it? Is my Super Noob hat showing?

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

You could buy a colored drip tip that is different than what you normally use and just keep that one on your high nic carto. Whatever works.

Mudflap - I think that I should use a red drip tip for that carto, as in "Pull in case of fire"!

To keep track of what flavor I have in each carto and the ohms of each carto I use The Brother Label Maker PT-1290 You can't beat this price and it is so convenient to have those labels on each carto so there is no guess work on what flavor is in there and you don't have to keep checking the ohms with an multimeter. I'd be lost without this labeler.

If you don't already have a multimeter I suggest you get one. They are pretty cheap. It's a must to know what voltage your batteries are especially when you first take them of the charger and great for determining the ohms of your cartos.

tmcase - Hi Terry! Happy 2012!!! Here's hoping we all have a wonderful year!!! Thank you so much for telling me about the Brother Label Maker PT-1290!! I couldn't believe it's only $16.99!!! For some reason I thought it would be like $35.00 so I would never have checked it out!! I'm assuming you can make labels with it small enough for cartos. Please correct me if I'm wrong!! Thank you also for telling me about the multimeter!! You're so helpful!!

Your welcome and Happy New Year to you too. If you decide to get the label maker I suggest you get an extra label cartridge also. Remember, you need backups for everything. I don't have a backup multimeter but they are cheap and I can get one locally if mine breaks.

I use that label maker for labeling my REO bottles also, the bottles are pretty cheap and I have bottles for each of my favorite juices. Once you get a label maker, you can find all sorts of uses for them, they are great to have.

tmcase - I am realizing the need for backups of everything! lol It's not like you can just go to the corner store and buy a bottle of ejuice or a spring for your Reo! Maybe it is easy to get ejuice but I haven't looked into it!

lostknitter - Hi! I like your user name and avatar! Thank you for the great idea! I really like it! I bought 8 bottles for my Reo!

With all the battery chargers I have, I had to label each one so I would know which PV they go to and I also label all my DIY bottles. I also use it to label each compartment in my carto/atty organizer. I'm not a neat freak but I like to know where and what everything is so this label maker has been a god sent for me.

As a soul user of cartos on both my Mini and Grande i would like to add my 2 cents There is absolutely no reason to prefill a carto on any Reo unless you enjoy that PITA procedure. Here is what works best for me and many many others- take new carto out of packaging remove all rubber caps (white and clear) screw onto any Reo of your choosing put on mouth piece( aka drip tip) do a couple of dry squonks wait 10-15 seconds and then VAPE IT LIKE YOU OWN IT BABY!!!!

Note in the begining with a new carto i dry squonk a little more often say every 3-5 pulls/drags till the filler material starts looking a little moist

tmcase - What great ideas!!! I bought a couple of inexpensive organizers yesterday from Amazon. Here they are: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3C3OE/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details I'm getting them so I can have a slot for each bottle of ejuice and it's carto.

pmoraldo - Thank you so much for your input! This is weird but I'm planning on filling them using the condom method because it looks like fun! lol Yes I am bored and have time on my hands! lol "VAPE IT LIKE YOU OWN IT BABY!!!!" I love it!!!!

Pointing at myself<<<total OCD!!! *yup*

 

[pmoraldo]

and just to clarify a dry squonk is taking a pull/drag while pushing on juice bottle (thru the window on Reo) without firing till you hear a slight gurgle then a couple of clearing pulls (no fire or pushing on bottle)

 

[tmcase]

All right smarty pants. I did say I wasn't a neet freak, just like to be organized. There is a difference you know.

pmoraldo - Thank you for sharing that!! I need specific directions! lol I'm going to write that down! One thing! Are all the squonks to be done, like needing to add to your carto while vaping, done dry??
