So I was filling a new cart a couple of weeks ago, but little did I know that my needle had developed a slight hook on the tip, probably from being dropped. Anyway, upon retraction, the polyfill snagged and came straight out of the tube - damn. Brand new cart destroyed... or so i thought.
Naturally I was gonna toss it and start over. But some inner voice told me to try dripping a little juice straight onto the coil, which was still intact. Wow! Nice! Just like a real atty! So, with tip installed, I spent a day enjoying my new dripper.
After awhile, though, dripping gets old (at least for me). I thought, "Wonder what would happen if I punched a small hole and stuck it in a tank? Hmmm..." Frankly, I figured it would just flood catastrophically, thus ending the experiment.
To my extreme surprise, it worked! So cool! Now I've got the best of both worlds - real dripping flavor and vapor production plus no-hassle filling. Frankly I was getting pretty tired of burnt-tasting, clogged carts which last a couple of days (maybe a week), and then become disgusting (sounds like my relationships). Proof of this concept: pulling the filler out of a well-used unit and noticing how badly burned it was. I'm sure inhaling those chemicals is pretty healthy...
If you'd like to try this here are a couple of tips (and more to come, I'm sure):
1. Kanger carts seem to work better than Boges when it comes to removing the filler - I wrecked a couple of the latter types when the entire guts of the thing came out with the polyfill.
2. Use a dental pick or a paperclip with a small hook bent at the end. Don't force the fill out - work it gently.
3. Don't fill the tank up too much - this seems to encourage flooding.
4. Keep the punched hole as small as possible, especially if you use thin juices. You can adjust the size as necessary later, but start tiny.
5. I'm using 3-ish ohm carts which seem to work best at 4.5-5.0 volts. Too much power = burning. Less is more with this setup.
6. Caveat: you'll burn juice like a '68 Eldorado burns gas. Good time to restock. But, like the Caddy, it's one smooth, tasty ride.
Enjoy!
