I use 20 or 22 gauge syringes. Smaller drops but more control (less overfill). It takes a little longer but it's worth it IMO.

If anyone needs syringes, pm me. I have a slew.

I have probably over 100 22 gauge luer lock syringes. The inject fine with PG juice, although if you try to draw juice through the needle it takes a while. After switching to VG juice, I find it to be too thick and can no longer use them. I have to get a bigger gauge.

I can however verify that 22 guage will work for PG, but not so much for VG.

I usually refill several different flavors at a time, I'll stick to dripping and spinning so I don't have to wash out the syringe or get bunches of them to do the job.

I don't always rinse them out, I only bother with that for flavor testing when I want to make SURE there's no cross-contamination between flavors. For personal use refilling, I just pump the plunger back and forth a few times until I stop hearing liquid aspirating through it. If there are any trace amounts left, it shouldn't be enough to affect the flavor.

I've been using a syringe and 18g or 20g needle. Syringe size, I'd say don't go bigger than 12 ml (cc) or it'll be too hard to push thick liquid through. I use the 1 1/2 inch needles (we use them for sq fluids or cysto's on the animals (I'm a vet tech). I usually put the needle in the mouth side on an angle into the stuffing and push .75 ml's in. Then either Taryn's spin method or shake them down like a thermometer. I leave the .... plug and condom on the battery side. The 20g needle will go into the bottle without removing the dropper top...18g is a tight squeeze but it's faster to draw it up with that. Takes me literally 2 minutes to refill 10 carts.

You can order just a few of each or syringe with needle attached from a few animal supply companies online. KV Vet is one and Jeffers is the other I order from when I have to (I usually just get them from my vet).

I'm lazy and can't be bothered taking off the plastic ends...besides, once I do take them off, they tend to pop off when I'm biting down on the cart...refilling like this avoids that and is the quickest most efficient way I've found so far. The best part is Taryn's spin method. Without that you get gurgling and juice in the mouth even letting them sit. I found that trying to get in 1ml on a refill is tough..guess it depends on how dry the cart is. I've never had a problem with .75ml's.

Happy refilling :)

I use the 22G 1 1/2 needles to fill both Vaper King and gc carts. It works great. On the VK i fill from the top. i start by making the needle hit the bottom of the cart and inject some then pull up as i continue to add some more then pull up again as i finish it off. I then use Taryn's spin method to make sure everything is cool. it takes extra time but i dont care cause i know it distributes correctly this way.
On the gc i fill thru the battery end and it works great. i put 20 drops of liquid in the syringe and do it same way. i inject the needle til it hits the bottom of the inner cart then add some then pull up very slkowly while i continue to add. Never had a leak yet.

Leaford Thanks for all the updates man you are something else.
