Hi there! I just got my eGo mega dual coil kit yesterday and so far it's great. Filled my first clear carto with a syringe, but I think I over filled it (it leaked) -- I ordered carto's in black and I really don't want to have more over filling messes (or am I filling incorrectly). Anyone have a YouTube video for me to watch? Thanks

I just drip into the top of mine. Drip 5 drops, turn 1/4 drip another 5 drops, turn 1/4, etc until it won't hold any more juice. Then set it aside and let it soak up well for 15-30 minutes. Then lightly blow through the connector end until you can see through the tube. Stick in on and vape happily. It's really not complicated at all. Some use a syringe, but I never have. I've been rotating two for a month now and never cleaned them other than running an unbent paper clip through the tube ever so often. Just be careful doing that so you don't push the coils out. If you hit resistance, stop and rotate the carto while pushing ever so lightly on the clip.

Some use the "twirl" method. You put in say about 10-15 drops depending on the size of the carto, then put the carto in a pouch or even a plastic bag, twirl it one way and then back the other a couple of times which brings the liquid down into the carto. You repeat this process with 25-50 drops depending on the size of the carto until it is filled. Then just top off when needed.

I guess when you said black cartos you were talking about the Boge 510 style. I sometimes fill mine from the top by dripping, as some have said, but the best way is the condom method, especially with a new one. You get full saturation from the condom method.

Cartos come with silicone caps that seal the ends. Use the longer one to fill the carto. Drip into the longer silicone cap until it's about 1/3 to 1/2 full of juice and then put the cap on the open end of the carto. Put the short cap on the battery end and lay it horizontally on a folded paper towel. Leave it for 30 minutes or so and then remove the caps and blow it out lightly through the open end. You probably won't have any juice in the center tube to blow out, but it's a good idea to do that just in case.

This guy does it a little differently, but you can put the cap on either end and accomplish the fill either way.
