tank people

[douglasp]

I have an ongoing problem, maybe I'm dumb and just don't see it but here it is. Every time I fill my tank and slide the top cap back down I flood the carto I see a way to prevent this but its not what I have now a tank with a fill plug would do it. Is there anyway that is done that wont flood my cartos and I've tried closing it very slowly still floods. Need some help.

Filling a bit too full perhaps?

Edit: derrrrr.... my bad. Misunderstood the OP

You need a tank filling drip tip the best one being slap yo Mamma tank filling tool
Stainless Steel Slap Yo' Mama Multi-Purpose Adapter [SYMSS] - $12.99 : Big Daddy Vapor

or
Cartomizer Tank Filler Adapter - Avid Vaper

 

[SissySpike]

Heres a video if you take the top cap if and replace it with the tank full of juice it will flood every time you can do it from eather end of the cartomizer but with out a slap yo Mamma or a tank filling DT it starts to chew up your O-rings

can he use a cheap narrow drip tip for now??? Or modify one?

Or, just hold it pointing up and blow it out.

What buzz said..... IBtanked also has a fill tool for like $2.99. i also have multiple tanks from them, and most of the rest are of that style. Never had an issue with any of them leaking or overfilling.

Good point I forgot about that any drip tip that looks like this shold fit threw the top of your tank basically as long as its the same diameter as your cart.

 

[r77r7r]

There are people that just push the threaded part onto the tank to fill also.



Yeah, side-fills are great!.

Could be when you put the cap on and screw it down...just that tiny bit of trapped air compresses and forces oil in the carto

Might need a slap yo mamma tank tool

The reason the carto becomes flooded from the method you use is because no matter how carefully you try to replace the top cap, the sudden increase of air/fluid pressure within the tank forces too much liquid into the carto. This technique is faulty.

Only fill or refill a cartotank with both caps on. Depending upon the carto you are using (flange or un-flanged), push the carto half way out of the tank (with the Slap Yo Moma tank tool or the slender drip tip suggestion if you're cheap) and fill the tank through the opening of the end cap. Insert the carto into proper position. Vape.

Agree with baditude. Taking the cap off isn't any easier than sliding the tank up on the carto. But putting the cap back on pressurizes the fluid in the tank and it can only go in the carto holes, and flood it. I dont use cartos any more but it does take a while to perfect their use!

This tool looks great IF you are using flanged cartos.

If the cartos you use do not have a flange, you are just going to pull the carto up and out the top and spill.

I suppose that if after filling, and before you pull out the tool, you screw the carto/tank onto your battery, you could avoid that.

But 12 bucks for the tool? Really? Thats more expensive than many tanks!

The tool works fine with flanged or unflanged cartos. One just needs to be careful...I can hold the bottom of the carto and pull the tool out easily. As for the price of the tool...that's just one example. There are delrin versions that are much cheaper as pointed out above.

One can also simply pull the carto down and fill the tank by tilting (being careful of course not to get too much in the carto. You can't fill your tank to the top but you can get pretty close.

Someone gave me the Slap Yo Mama tool as a gift....but since back then (a year ago) I've ended up using the "refilling drip tips" found on many sites. They are cheap and work just as well. http://www.smokerevolt.com/510-Long-Refilling-Drip-Tips_p_412.html Still have the SYM, but usually carry around the "refilling drip tip" as I don't worry so much about losing them as I would the SYM. They work perfectly well. I have both black and silver.

After some searching I did find some cheaper filling tools.

Here is one set of examples. I may have to try these.

Yes. Be more careful and mindful.

Something I have started doing is refilling my carto at night before I go to bed, not trying to do it in the morning without sufficient coffee!

 

[crxess]

Even a needle tip bottle will work in a pinch. just lower the Catro enough to get the needle past the side of the carto and squeeze. Push the carto back up and your done(assuming you filled the carto first)

 

[sawlight]

I don't completely fill my tanks, slide the top cap in until the o-ring makes contact with the tank, then turn the whole thing upside down and push the top cap on. Easy! When you turn the tank upside down it exposes the carto holes to air so no juice is flooding into it.

 

[douglasp]

All good advise I dunno if me and tanks are going to get along they got a good pull and last forever but so far I've spilled enough juice to fill a couple of big ones, lol

not only is it easy to fill with slap yo mama
it works great with the ocelot method to swap carto's you can find video on google search
