Snow, my reply was not to contradict the site but to offer my personal way of filling in which I don't have issues. That isn't to say the sites instructions are incorrect. I just like giving my experiences because we all fill in different ways but I prefer my method because I'm just really clumsy and unlucky when it comes to juice
Well then...please allow me to say it,
THE WEBSITE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INCORRECT!!!
If the site instructions are correct explain to me exactly how you
fill the cartomizer until if overflows without flooding it? Now, if we can all agree that those instructions are the polar opposite of how to avoid flooding the cartomizer common sense would dictate that the instructions should be changed....wouldn't you say?
How many people have followed those instructions to the letter only to have the cartomizer/tank flood time and time again? Should it really come as any surprise that you, "
see this all the time with customers in the store" given the instructions on the website. Let's see, our instructions tell people to flood the tank cartomizer and people come into the store complaining they are always flooding the tank cartomizer......hmmmmmmm.
This isn't a "we all fill in different ways" scenario, this is simply correcting bad instructions on the website.
You're the Admin, talk to you-know-who and make the change on the website. Better yet simply put up a link and add my How To Video, the one that thousands of people including the staff at V4L has watched to learn how to fill a tank without flooding the carto. As of 1/12/12 mine was the only YT Video showing the specific technique of priming a carto with dry hits to ensure full saturation.
Furthermore....
As for some of the replies on this post from my fellow family members, thank you. Giving proper attribution isn't always necessary, but when a person is in a group discussion with the originator of the method they learned from it might not be the worst of ideas.
The OP never once mentions "flooding", do they? Gurgling, juice in the mouth isn't flooding, flooding is when the juice leaks out of the bottom of the cartomizer.
When I post a How To video you can be assured I have put a lot of time and energy in finding the best way out of many to do something. Then, without being paid, without monetizing my videos, or poorly plagiarizing someone else's video I share them in an easy to follow format with this forum family.
