Using e-liquid

[BigBuxNoWhammy]

So how exactly do you apply the e-liquid? do you just open the cartridge and drip a drop or 2 on the foamy stuff? and for what reason do people drip it on the atomizer, especially if it voids warranty's?

Still waiting for my njoy and my liquid, so I've never done it before, but want someone to confirm the proper way so I know how to do it when it arrives. I dont wanna void the warranty.

Didn't realize the difference in terms of the NJoy warranty - that it is ok to drip on the cartridge but not the atomizer. Thanks.
In terms of the correct process, I recently became aware of the Tips & Tricks section. I think answers to most of your questions will be found there.

Maybe both void the warranty? not sure.. just stating what I've read

How much liquid can you put in a core/cartridge?
are you supposed to fill/soak the whole thing or just drip a few drops onto the wool ?

do the cores on e-cig.com fit on all e-cigs?
trying to figure out how many I need to get with my 12 bottles of 4ml liquids

a normal e cig core holds about 1 ml of liquid.. a mini holds about half that.. there is at least 30% wastage u cant get out of the core while smoking..

i see no point in throwing the 30% away every time and top my cores up using a dropper.. i change the core every so often..

in fact this has become my standard practice.. keep the core wet.. top up and change the battery quite often.. this produces the best consistent smoke..

after about six weeks daily use all my mini cig batteries are now going flat before the next one is charged.. the performance falls off quite quickly.. so does the atomizer performance..

excessive liquid isnt going to damage the atomizer.. it cant really.. but i think it can seep down into the battery and also get on the pressure switch contacts..

this possibly varies with the device.. its far more likely to happen to some than others.. its all down to how well the battery/switch is designed.. some are sealed better than others..

but and again this might vary from make to make i think the whole lot deteriorates very quickly.. i view both atomizer and batteries as disposable items to be change quite often for best performance..

the validity of how often the atomizer and batteries get thrown away comes down to the price paid for them.. i also cant see any valid reason why paying a lot for the device in the first place is going to affect component life all that much.. my comments are based on two months family usage.. much experimenting.. pretty good mechanical/electrical expertise and an inquisitive mind..
