Frick, don't you put the condom with the plug in the bottom while filling?

No, I don't put it on any more. I used to, but I would be dripping away, the top would look just about right, and I'd take the condom off to find it had several drops-worth of juice in it. I'm just careful doing it now. I don't think I ever vape them dry enough to fit the 30 drops people say they get.


You do 8 drops probably because you just top it off.
I usually manage more that 30 drops on an empty carto without overfilling or leaking. (drop size will vary of course)

Or maybe it's because you're a hoarding vaporist...

Yep, I top them off when the filler starts to look very dry.

Kind of on the same topic and kind of not - but I refill with 8mg Wowboy from V4L - is this a good juice for Bloog cartos (seems ok to me). Not sure where to find what the mix is? Thanks much.

It works very well. I use only Wow juices at the moment and they are perfect. I believe it is 80/20 there abouts.

when I first started refilling, I'd put the juice right down the middle, but I noticed a lot of juice was ending up in the condom after, so instead i started tilting it a bit and dripping down the sides onto the filler. I do this for about 10-15 drops, but I like to refill before the carto is empty.

i find these bloog carto are really great using the plunging method for refills. I fill up the rubber cap about 3/4 of the way and plunge the carto, mouthpiece first into the rubber cap slowly and when juice start to bubble out of the battery end i remove the cart and place it battery side down on a paper towel. Yes there is a bit of juice wasted but this is by far the easiest and laziest way to refill a cart to near perfection.

I just got some 25mg flavorless juice from Vapor Station and refilled a RY4 with bottom condom fill method with 20 drops.
It seemed like at least 2-3 drops were wasted as I had to wipe off the sides and the bottom that screws to battery before use.

I will be top filling from here on out because I don't want to waste any juice since I don't have any "extra" juice around cos I'm a newb and got no build up of excess yet.

The flavorless is 100% PG, very thin and drips nicely - the vapor is almost as much as the original carto produced-although some Bloog cartos were not as full as others when I vaped them. My 555 cartos in 24mg varied alot in how much juice was in them, but the fruit flavors (apple/cherry) were uniformaly full.

thanks Moon, I may get a bottle of that to use for thinning out some of the VG heavy juices.

I know this sounds stupid, but how does it 'taste'? Like nothing? Can you taste the nicotine?

I've been thinking about ordering some unflavored juice for times when no flavor seems good, but I've never tried it.

mouth end into condom, after I push the carto all the way down I turn it over and you can see the remaining juice fall into the cart.

That method is actually remarkably clean. When I first started with cartos, I was filling from the battery end, and it was messy to clean up. Doing it the other way is a lot cleaner, and for whatever reason it doesn't leak out of the battery end as easily as it does when I drip-fill.

I noticed that too and I think what happens is when you see a it start to come out the batt end you stop plunging and remove the condom. I believe this causes some extra suction and pulls the liquid back in so it wont drip out.

Drip filling uses gravity to pull the liguid down and when there is too much it starts dripping out the bottom.

If the hole on the bottom was an inverse cone design (with holes along the surface of the cone) it would still allow airflow but would be too small for juice droplets to fit thru. A true dripless cart design.
