Topping off VX2 carts, how do you do it ???

[UkUsa]

So how has everyone been topping off their VX2 carts ? Do you use a syringe and poke it through the foil, or do you peel off the foil and top off straight from the bottle ?

I'm probably going to try both ways. Just curious on what most people have been doing.

I don't refill the pre-filled carts, I just bought a bunch of empty carts and I drip fill them. Sometimes I use a paper clip to move the poly-fil and get the juice to the bottom. I refuse to mess with a syringe, I hate needles.

A full carts lasts me most of the day. All day at work then I top off with a few drops when I get home.

I have freash blank carts now - but have pulled the foil off the orig ones too.

If you are using the same flavor - I pull out the filling to see how dry it is usually is pretty dry - I fill the cart half way (10-12 drops) then replace filling slowly as not to overflow and then top off until it pools then take a paper clip move it around then I blot with a paper towel and you're good to go for most of the day.


If I'm changing flavors I do the exact same as above but rinse the filling then blot on paper towel until dry.

Thanks for the answers guys. Just the same as a regular 901 then. I'll be getting some blanks on my next order. For now i've already pulled the filling out of one of the prefilled carts, squeezed it and rinsed it out. That one is drying before it gets refilled with some Hilton.

For now i'm using oone hte original carts and topping off with some cappucino. That is a good flavor, will be ordering some more of that one.

Well you dont have to wait. Just lay it on a paper towel and fold the towel over and press down - open move to another spot and repeat until no water comes out - usually takes less then a minute. Then you're good to go.

If you let it dry on its own sitting in a puddle would take forever to dry.

Guess i didn't mention that it was wrapped up in a paper towel ... thanks for the tip tho !

so if you use the blank carts and fill yourself then how many times can you refill a cart before you toss it out?

I dont toss the cart but the stuffing inside can be replaced with fluval and how long depends on the orig stuffing some hold their shape longer then others.

well im glad i have 3 fish tanks 5gallon, 10gallon, and 55gallon so i have plenty of fluval. My 55gallon has 4 Dwarf Puffer fish in it they are sweet i'll be getting more of them.
