We're talking about the juice on the outside of the cartomizer, not around the battery connection. It's not a problem, just personal preference I guess. As long as you get it in there and can vape, it's all good.
What Do You Think of Refilling Cartomizers With the Rubber Cap (like Dr. Vapor)

I like the condom method, ESPECIALLY the first carto fill. It takes quite a while to fully load via dripping. Once a carto has been used, I do sometimes just top it off by dripping.

Yes, I don't like the whole outside of the carto getting soaked, and I usually don't have to wipe off the threads either. Sometimes a little drips out the bottom, but I put it in a condom for the first fill (on threaded end) and that catches whatever extra comes out, then I just toss that. The times I've tried the condom fill, it gets all over the side of the carto, sometimes pushes up over the side of the carto. Yech!
I also like the condum fill method--some condums are a little bigger than others--I use the bigger ones, and slowly insert the battery end into the juice in the condum and force fill until I see the juice bubble up on top of filler. Then pull slowly back out---most of the time the suction pulls all the juice off the outside of the carto and off the battery end. Blow out thru battery end and it is good to go. I have never had a mess or wasted juice with this method. And it is fast and easy.
I think if you have low vision, Dr Vapor's way is less messy.
I've just started practicing, trying to learn, but it seems to me that dripping it is probably a better choice for people whose eyes are somewhat functional as opposed to mostly ornamental.

Yep I do--that way I can see when the filler end is saturated. (end cap removed first and replaced with drip tip after filling). Has been working like a charm for me for 8 months. And I believe I still have "functional eyes versus ornamental eyes." (never heard poor vision put like that before)

Never tried that, but I think I might. Makes sense really. I guess the condom method would be best if you did it that way. Dripping into the tiny hole would take forever.
LOL I love the functional eyes vs. ornamental eyes.

I fill through the battery end too on Boges (with the cap). I haven't had a burnt carto since I started doing it that way.
I love when I find out after 5 months that I've been doing something completely wrong. That is so typical.

As long as the end result is the same, it's all good! I think I saw someone on a youtube video doing it from the battery end so I tried it and it worked good. I add some drops to the top too, maybe this was started because some of the pre-filled cartos don't have a top that comes off?
And I bet if I push the little button on the side of my pv I'll get a better vape! LOL
Yep--been doing that for 8 months too, and it works like a charm. Of course, a person with "ornamental eyes" might not even know that the button is there.
New song title: instead of "you've got Bette Davis eyes" it can be "you've got ornamental eyes". Probably be a smash hit.
