Yea, I just tried filling mine to the point there was no air at all (no bubbles) in the tank and I tipped it with no problems. I took two hits to make sure that it still worked without flooding, no problems (so now I have a really tiny bubble because I took two hits). Ill let it sit for a bit and see what happens with mine. I normally dont fill to the extreme top, I normally only fill to around where the top of the polyfill is and I never regularly lay it on its side. I did stress test this thing when I first got it a few days ago but never thought to try 'overfilling' as usually that is considered a 'no no' with tanks. Of course, thats if there is such a thing as overfilling with these...

I've filled mine to the point that I didn't have a bubble at all. No problems as the carto absorbed it nicely. I haven't filled an already used one that far to see if it would cause problems. So far, all of mine are working like a charm. I'm waiting on the big boys now.

I cut a few mega kr808's for my little tanks and again, works wonderfully. I made the cuts about a half inch above the threaded end. They are keeping the mega's nice and saturated.

If someone thinks there are problems with the liquidnator by the warnings posted it wouldn't be because they READ the warnings.
How bout if we post another warning instead?
Warning do not make purchase decisions on a product you have read about but don't know how to read.

I think you should rephrase this from a positive spin. Some might read this and think these are problems with the device when in fact, these are problems with OTHER devices that THIS device DOESNT have.

Well, actually, all it takes is for someone to miss one word in the post as I did. If that means I didnt read the post, well, Id have to disagree.

In addition, I think your response is rather rude and demeaning.

Such as it is, it is a fantastic product, cant say as much about the politeness of all those who use it.

I got asked a question tonight by a member that totally has me dumbfounded. Here's the problem she is having with hers. It worked just great on the first new fill but after that it all went downhill. On the second fill, she experienced bad leaking out of the cartomizer. She used a fusion and a boge...both carto's did the same thing. I thought it could be one of the following: a cracked tank which would cause no vacuum, a nicked/broken O ring which would also cause the juice to flow too freely, or the airholes somehow has developed holes in them or been disturbed. I don't know if she put a new carto in it yet or not but I'm assuming she did. I told her that I would check on here and if no answer, to give them a call. Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated. I haven't had this happen with any of mine and several of my carto's are on their 5th tank.

I'm having the same sort of problem, but only with a slotted Fushion, not the standard-equipment Boge.

The difficulty has not to do with a faulty seal; in fact, it's the high integrity of the seals that are actually working against me.

I'm attempting to refill by removing the top cap, squeezing juice into the open areas around the carto's outer walls and the tank's inner walls. The problem erupts when I attempt to replace the top cap; erupt is a good choice of word, because by forcing that 3/16" or so of top-cap volume into the upper portion of the tank, the air and juice below has to go somewhere—and go it does, erupting out the opening in the base of the Fushion, flooding the atomizer coils in the process.

The O-rings are fine; that, again, is where the problem lies. If there were cracks in them, the juice might use them for an escape route instead of bleeding out the opening in the Fushion.

Just curious if I'm reading this correctly, but why would you remove the top cap to refill? All you need to do is push on the threads to slide the cartomizer down and then add juice. If you are removing the cap to refill and then putting it back on, you're going to force a lot of air pressure into the cartomizer (as I think you said?).

The only problem I ever had with this Liquinator is when I thought I needed to saturate the polyfill. You don't. The bottom slots fill the cartomizer bottom with just enough juice and air pressure keeps it balanced. If you're using it correctly, the juice at the top of the cartomizer (inside) stays relatively dry.

nu-vapor forum has a few folks that have had problems with leaking juice from cartomizer air-hole but more or less attributed to not filling correctly.....the liquinator is basically an easy steezy device :thumb:

fusions are 801's which have the protruding threaded ring at their base....can not slide up from the batt side

You know, I didn't think of that. Here's how I fill with the 801. I leave my tank together and rinse it out when changing flavors or refilling with the same flavor. Take a Q-tip to remove any leftover water if you changed out flavors and rinsed it. Slide the fusion into the tank then kind of hold it with a little pressure so that it slants a little and leaves a gap. Fill slowly. When filled, push it up through the top cap. Top off with about 6-10 drops then add drip tip.

I think Wylie is on to something here. I rarely take mine apart. Just rinse in hot water then swab. It could be the air pressure from constantly putting the top cap of the tank back on.

Going back to this for a second... I've never used an 801, but I Googled some pics. Other than the threads being female, it's not really different that the 510 is it? Or is there some sort of ridge that prevents it from being pulled through?

If you remove the tank from your PV and invert it (so the drip tip is facing down), can't you pull on the drip tip so it goes into the tank and fill that way? That's how I do the 510. I only remove the caps when cleaning.

(See post #3)

You really can't do it as you depict in post #3, Wylie, because the Fushion has a sleeve around the base that prevents its entry through the end cap:

Well, I use the 801 cartos and I just push the top of the new carto against the top of the old one and push the new one thru. That is, if I keep the same juice (which I usually do - i have pretty much dedicated this tank to the juice I vape more than others).

If changing juices, I disassemble, clean, re-lubricate the tube edges with a touch of juice and then re-assemble.

^ thanks for the warnings :)

i do not like any of those...but i'm also not much of a carto fan. i vape only dark juice and i went through wayyyyy too many cartos because of gunked filler and burnt elements.

so..


does it really work with a CE2? (i hope)
and what does 'CE2 standard and XL cartos' mean, they are different sizes? I never used XL cartos so I can't compare for myself.

yes, and yes. It works great with CE2's. There are 2 different sizes of CE2's standard that hold approx .9ml, and XL that hold approx 1.8ml of liquid, allthough its kind of irrelevant when using a tank, but basically, you can take the capacity of the tank and add it to the capacity of the carto, and thats your FULL capacity. Both sizes of CE2's will work with the liquinator tank.

Been using my liquinator with the madvapes ST dual coils.....muted flavor compared to the CE2's, less vapor compared to CE2's (even at higher voltages), but the TH is amazing.
