filling a skycig help

[lynzita]

Hi, i bought the skycig 5 weeks ago when it was on a good offer. I haven't had a nasty since! so far so good. then i found out about this board and buying vapor. so i have gone ahead and bought some vapor.(bit of a impulse buyer lol, buy now work it out later) have watched the videos. my question is how do i refill my sky cig? can i do it by dripping the juice onto the open (taken the white round cover off) or do i need to buy the plastic things to put the juice in? is there anything else i need?
I am intending to buy a complete vapor kit but while there is life in the skycig.....
thanks for reading

Hi Lyn and #welcome2# well done giving up the ciggies

all you need to do is take the white top off, hold the carto at an angle and drip the e-juice into the filling. Try to avoid the centre hole

Before you put it back onto the battery, hold a tissue over the end and blow to remove any excess e-juice.

If you are thinking about buying a new kit, do you have anything in mind? does your new kit need to resemble a ciggie?

I tried filling some of the old carts for my mum's skycig...... didnt work all that well tbh The flavour was pretty muted......

Also Lyn, any cartomiser with a 510 thread will fit your skycig, like these ones

www.vapeescape.co.uk/boge-510-standard-resistance-%285%29~145

these are empty, if you wanted pre-filled these would also fit

www.vapeescape.co.uk/pre-filled-510-cartomisers-%2A%2Areduced-to-clear%2A%2A~380

code 'allabout' gives 10% discount from vapeescape.

There is also a thread here which lists codes for vendor sites

I still use my ciggy looky as my work "smoke" and fill it with juice exactly as Karma described with great results, have no complaints so far, both flavour and vapour pretty good truth be told!

Hello & welcome Lyn

You should be able to refill your Skycig cartomisers as Karma describes & as she also says, any 510 SR (Standard resistance) cartomisers should fit your skycig.

Goofy, what went wrong?

[lynzita]

I dunno, it just seemed to really lack any flavour/vapour after refilling Oh, and i tried a boge cart on the skycig....... airy as an airy thing on airy tablets

No harm in giving it a try though lynzita, you may get better results than i did

If you haven't already sussed it after you've taken the first white cap off there is a small plastic washer that needs to come out aswell

Hi Lyn, and welcome to the forum

I have to say I do agree with this, I have a pile of empty skycig cartos, and have used them a few times with different flavours (rinsing & allowing to dry between refills), and the flavour is never quite as good as other cartos I have. But they do have a fairly good life, I've only had 1 blow on me, through my own doing (7.2v on my tin mod, dried it and fried it in 3 seconds ).

I do still use my skycig cartos, but mainly with strong or tobacco flavours, as I still use the skycig in town and when driving

[OneDay]

Because the Skycig batteries are only about 180mAh the cartos have to be fairly high resistance so as not to drain the battery too quickly - from memory they are about 2.5 ohms. So flavour and throat hit is never going to be massive from them. They serve their purpose though for those that can't or don't want to use a bigger format

[lynzita]

Hi every one,
just to say i have done as recommended and refilled my skycig pleased to say flavour and vapour very good. in fact i think there is more vapour! thanks green dollar, yeah i had noticed a white washer too.
thanks for all your comments.

Good news.

I find I get better vapour/flavour from a prefilled cart when I re-fill it myself.

Pleased to hear it's working for you Lyn
