Why Does No Liquid Blow Out The .... Using the Condom Method....

[MikeDeason]

However, When you blow from the .... end, alot of juice sprays out the battery side of the cartomizer.

In essence; EVERY SINGLE TIME I fill w/the condom method, I blow the excess juice out from the battery side...NOTHING.....HOWEVER, if I turn that same cartomizer around and blow out from the .... side, ALOT of juice sprays out...

Always happens...Don't get it.

The plastic stopper is most likely catching all the juice when you blow it.

Not sure why you would want to blow from the battery end...but hey, different strokes.

You are supposed to blow from the mouthpiece end.

I find that the condom on the batt end when removed pulls most of the juice out of the center tube. I still blow out from the mouth end and get a small amount of liquid.

If I blow out from the .... end, it seems like I lose half the juice that I just filled.....

Maintaining these cartomizers is a serious skill.

I was burning through them like wildfire and I think it's because I switched to the Premium Juice which seems to burn faster and needs topping off more often.

Excuse me, I do understand the cartomizer stuff, but these threads have some seriuos potential for innuendo!Just an observation.

Oh it gets better!

Mike....in a few weeks, you will be such a pro.

Here's a little tip.

After refilling, place the cartomizer on your passthru. Take a haul. See what happens. There's a good chance that the passthru will act as a "sear". Think of searing a steak. It'll keep all the good stuff inside.

When I do that, my blowing out times lessen and lessen.

I love the fact that once I got my technique down pat, I can switch between two cartomizers for over a week. That's good vaping.

you do mean more than a week with regular refills correct ....you cant be getting a week + out of two fills right ?

 

[bornagainst]

No....a week + out of just two cartomizers. Then I start a couple fresh ones. I keep refilling them.

Sorry if I was a bit confusing...it's late.

Born is right, try not blowing it out unless you get a mouthful of juice with your first couple of draws. I've also been known to spin my cartos twice, once on the main fill and once on top off, which seems to move any remaining liquid out of the center.

I don't really get mouthfuls of juice. I'm also new and learning, but what I do is I barely even sip it in the beginning. If I hear bubbles or determine that it could be overfilled, I do a reverse Taryn spin and recapture some. The spins are easy, I have a big rubber band almost halfway from the top of a battery bag, and that is my spin tool. I put the cart in the bag, hold one thread of it (no need to even put the string around my finger), and a quick 7 little spins is all it takes.

But this is about when I take the mouth plug off for refills. I guess my point is that I don't have a need to blow excess liquid and lose it.

Maybe part of this requires (me, at least,) to learn to tell when the cart is really empty. Some which I thought were empty, recouperated on their own after they rested a few hours. But anyway, once I know when they're empty, it will be easier to know about how much to refill them with, to avoid bubbles/overfilling.

I'm just posting to say that I was drinking coffee when I read the thread title, and had to turn my head so that the coffee that I spit out due to uncontrollably laughing didn't land on my laptop, but in a giant puddle on my floor.

 

[v1John]

^Oh, my goodness. It is hilarious, except sorry about your coffee, though.

If you're serious, it wasn't carpet I hope
