ah cool. I've seen the CE2's around in pictures and sites etc. and wondered if things wicked better with the long wicks. Seems like it probably would.
@ms421:
Well, it's really not so bad. I've never used a tank before (just done lots of reading about them haha). I got a few needle tips to replace the dropper tip with (it's sort of a funnel-shaped tip that goes down to a really fine point), which I can then squeeze the liquid out of the bottle into the tank through the hole in the bottom. That works *pretty well*, and although you have to pop the needle tip back off and rinse it out afterwards, it's really not so bad. I've got one in my little vape pack now in a small plastic ziplock next to my liquid bottle.
Something else I have done twice now, once late yesterday when I got home from work, and also today at my desk at work (pretty vaper-friendly there, heh) that may prove to be promising:
It's easier to fill the tank from the top because you can see what you're doing better -- but you could also lose some liquid through the center air passage in the carto out the bottom if your carto is letting much or any through. (Self-deprecating note here: This may depend on how you punched your carto -- I'm still on my first carto and although I was careful to try not to punch too deep to not punch the center, it's possible I may have inadvertently done so)
So what I tried and have done twice now without making a horrible mess is, removing the tank from the mod, then removing the lid from the top and just refilling from the top. But before I (carefully and slowly) screw the top lid back on, I've put my finger tip right over the center hole on the bottom of the carto to make a bit of a seal. It's not a great seal of course, but I figured if it was blocking flow much at all, it might force more upwards into the carto rather than down through the bottom when the cap pressurizes the tank as you screw it down.
It actually worked pretty good. I did get SOME liquid on my finger from the bottom of the carto, but it was only about a drop or so, so I wiped it off along with the bottom of the carto before putting it back onto the battery. It was a little gurgly at first but I pretty much expected that.
I also thought about the little silicon "plugs" that come stuck into the battery/threads side of Boge cartos, and thought this might really work out well to plug it up better. I'll give that a try soon.
So I have sort of had to get familiar with refilling the tank -- but I doubt I'm running into much of anything with the ACTv4 that people using other tanks don't also run into in some form. It's not but so much of a hassle, really.
But I have to admit its pretty interesting what Dieseler is doing there. I was thinking, if there isn't really a carto tube going up the middle to get in the way it might be pretty easy to refill the carto, just screw the top off and top up.
