Which end do you refill cartomizers?

[Patrick21]

Watched this video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbfT5-7b25s

and it shows him filling it up with the condom through the screw end where as i have always known to fill them up with the condom through the end you inhale with if you understand me.

Is he doing it right? have i been doing it wrong?

Another video using the same method - A Great Way To Fill Cartomizers - YouTube

So i guess i should be doing it this way

The carto really doesn't care, you either get them full or you don't.

haha i just wondered whether if it would damage the cartomizer or battery

I fill them from the battery end (if I use the condum method), thinking that it really, really needs to have the bottom wet. You can't see the bottom, but you can see the top. If you fill it from the bottom, it has to be wet (hopefully), so far I haven't burnt one.

i drip into the mouth piece. the condom method is supposed to be from the battery end, but personally i dont do it because i have auto batts.

to me, the condom method is messy, takes more time, and is a pain.

i fill from the top -- keep going 'round until a drip comes out the battery end -- that way, i know it's completely soaked. then, i blow out from the top onto a paper towel, to make sure there are no more drips, and wipe off the battery end. haven't burned a carto yet.

well im refilling the SD Keyring which is an auto battery, using the battery/screw end to refill using the condom method. I always make sure i wipe the end clean with tissue before i screw them in. Is this ok to do or will this damage it? like i say i always try and make such most if not all the liquid is off the end

I wondered this too....I always made a mess with the battery end.....tried the mouth end it it worked so much better, so I do that. Doesn't seemed to have harmed my carts at all.

I've seen videos using both ways, which just confused me more lol

My initial fill is the condom method via the threaded end. Subsequent refills via dripping in the mouth end.

If anyone is causing a mess with the CM, you're doing sumpin' wrong.

Just a bit of history, if you aren't aware.

Early cartomizers were either made with press-fit shells, or hard caps. It wasn't easy, or impossible to get at the filler. The condom method was a necessity to refill a cartomizer.

Then cartos started coming out with the removable silicone caps and all was wonderful with the world. I'm not sure but I believe the Boge cartos were some of the first that came empty with the soft cap for filling.
