Filling metal tanks...?

[kibbutzangel]

Ok, so I have a Mini Vivi Nova and I bought a metal sleeve for it to vape some juice that may crack polycarbonate (gorgeous Pixie Juice Bucky's Blackcurrant).

It looks cool, vapes lovely, no leaks - BUT how do I tell when I've put enough juice in without flooding it? I'm used to clearos where I can see just how much juice I've put in and not overfill. Any tips or tricks?

I read on another forum that someone was using a cocktail stick to measure juice levels in these! I suppose it works the same as using a dip stick in the car to check the oil

It's not so easy to judge is it Kibby, I tend to fill up little and often with metal tanks, as other than letting them burn dry, I haven't found any answer.

I'll be interested to hear what others do.

I've never used the metal tanks, mainly for that reason. In my mind I've imagined using a syringe and needle to suck the remaining juice out, make up to just under 2ml, and squirt back in

I used a syringe to fill mine that way I knew how much I was putting in
Never thought of using a cocktail stick but I may give that a go

Like the idea of the dipstick Karma - we have a load of cocktail sticks (dunno why, never drink cocktails or eat olives ).

I think it's going to end up being trial and error Perps. Just filled it twice - first time way too much and this time it seems perfect. With the metal tank it seems to be thicker than the poly tank, so I reckon it holds less. I hate dry hits, so will probably keep a 'dipstick' handy for when I think it's getting low.

Well at least now you may have found a good vaping use for them

There's a few dipstick's round here if you can't find one!

How about a needle syringe? Less worry about getting any juice in the centre hole
