First order so I purchased a bunch of different 510 cartomizers. I have no idea which one I am using since they are the same size and color, but what is the best method to fill. Drip, condom or syringe? Also can the other ones work? I tried to condom fill this one and it wouldn't fill and there is nonthing dripping out the bottom. Its silver with a gold bottom.

Hey jac,

Do this hon.

Remove the mouthpiece and very, very gently insert a round toothpick into the hole in the center of the filler material. Don't break that wire you'll see there. This will keep juice from running out the bottom of the carto.

Fill the carto with your juice until it is well saturated and you'll see a little floating on top.

Replace the mouthpiece and hold the bottom of the carto against a paper towel while you gently blow through the top. This will remove any excess. Then I like to lay mine on its side and rotate them every once in a while. Giving the juice about half an hour to soak in and rotating the carto will ensure it is completely full.

When you go to use the carto if you get a little juice in your mouth or if it bubbles, gently blow the excess out of the carto again.

One good thing to do is to top off the carto every once in a while if you can.

It sounds to me like your using the gold V2, an excellent carto. I think you'll find that by the third day of use the carto will reach its peak performance. You might want to try the Fusions when Isaac gets them in again. Their very good also.

One suggestion, unless you have a preference for them, I'd avoid the LR cartos. They do seem to run a little hotter and are meant to simulate 5v vaping. I don't care for them myself.

If you have any other questions, just jump in here and ask. We'll all be glad to help you!

I'm lazy so I drip 15 or 20 straight in and let it sit until there's room enough for the rest of my standard 30 drops. Then I just check on it again in the next 10 minutes to 10 hours (depends how anxious I am), dab off the excess and vape away.

Did I mention I'm three posts from 1000...oh, make that two. And I heart IKV...Fusion's for me! Those are good reasons to post my method, right?

Fill it and roll it or whatever and wait and wait and wait... or take 3 minutes for multiple drips and spins (15 -20 drips each time depending on absorbancy of filler) and be ready to go quickly with a VERY juice-packed carto. (I reserve condom method for xx long megas and still like to spin first, then do a condom dunk at the end just in case. I'm all about maximum distribution.) After that just drip as you go. Decide for yerself. (I highly recommend that you use a snug lanyard for the spin, just leave the carto in it as you fill, remember to leave bottom condom on!). Cheers!

I agree. I don't care if you fill it from the bottom, the sides dripping and rolling from the top, with a syringe, or standing on your head it all ends up in the filler anyway. Your better off concentrating on the amount you put in it because too much floods them and too little burns them. I remember when I used to spin them.
Now I just put them in a tank and fill the tank when it needs it and let it fill them.
BTW Uzza your at 1000. I remember my 1000 posts. I'm at 12,378 now.:blink::D
