If your cart filler looks 'mushy' but not 'pooled' then it should be ok and not leak. If its pooled, lay a sheet of paper towel across it to soak up any excess. Don't press the parper towel, just lay it lightly across the top of the cart filler. It should absorb any 'extra' liquid.
You can also stick a toothpick, or a bent paperclip down the side of the cart + filler in it, to let out any trapped air and allow the juice to go down further into the cart. Then add more drops as necessary.

Does anyone refill those "dummy" carts with filler and use them?

YES.:toast: I run 510 attys & go thru approx. 1 cart about every 2 months-- I replace the cartridge filler material usually once a month.

What helps is a good cartridge mod-- lots to choose from.

On another point, e-liquid viscosity can vary-- I prefer blends with PG/VG... its usually a thicker liquid, tons of vapor & it holds better in most cart mods. IMHO, YMMV.:2c:

Another 'tip' - slice a bit off the regular carts - the bit that sits on the atty end - (NOT THE CARTOS) with scissors or knife if you find they are melting during heavy vaping sesions.
Oh and wash the mouthpiece carts every now n again (remove filler obviously) to keep them clean. I use alcohol for germ killing properties then hot soapy water, rinse and allow to dry.

You've been given some good advice. That's the beauty of this forum--everyone is so eager to help newbies succeed. Here's my :2c: on cart fillers...

I tried tea bags and cutting the tip off my silicone cap (Z.F.M. mod) and although they work great for many, I seemed to have issues with both. I've been using Highping's simple cart for over 2 months now and it works great and is so inexpensive (a bag of polyfill is less than 3 bux and will last forever). Here's a link with step by step instructions, along with pics.

Good luck!

I hope I have this right..

Hi All! I'm new to the forum and found this question to be interesting. I'm still a little baffled about refilling but took the first step and bought Elumas yesterday. Gotta start somewhere, right?

Looking forward to the answers here about refilling a 510, because if the Elumas go well, I'll try a 510 next.

Thanks to all who don't even know how helpful they were in starting my journey..

Jo
