Dumb question (clearo's)

[delboy]

Hi,
I thought i'd try out one of my clearomisers that i've had for a couple of weeks. Got the syringe out with the extra thin bit on the end. But can't be sure which end i fill....lol.

I did say it was a dumb question but i'm about as technical as a......non-technical thing. I took off the rubber mouthpiece cos i thought it would be filled from there but the thin bit on the syringe don't seem to want to go in there.

So....HEEEEEELP...please.

Is there a little card in the box they came in ?
If so read it.

No mate, I got beside me here on the settee (sofa in manc...lol). I'm not too sure how to fill it.

[delboy]

No box..lol. No card.

Take the black/white end off.
Inside there may be a little rubber ring -if so use something to hook it out, a bent paperclip is a commonly used device for that.
You should then see two little holes next to the big hole where the coil is.
The needle fits in those little holes and you squirt the liquid in while holding the clearo at 45 degrees - leave a bit of air at the top but not much.
Filled, enjoy !

Can you see the 2 tiny holes at either side when you take off the rubber bung? You need to get the needle end in there

[delboy]

Sheeeeesh. Do you have to push it right in ?

[curtisdon1]

Ooooooooooer misses

Get it as far in as you can del

[delboy]

blimey....i'm covered in it.

[vereybowring]

What happened ?

[curtisdon1]

Oh no did it all come out mate,
Did you get the needle attachment all the way in and put the plunger down slow

[delboy]

I've given up on it. I'll have another go when i've got an hour or so to spare.

What a lot of bother. They must be good for people to faff about that much.

Thanks Don. Thanks verey.

Sorry you're having so much trouble - I've got 22 gauge proper needles I use to fill mine so you can get the needle almost to the bottom of an XL clearo through the hole.

Once you get the method you start doing it without even thinking about it honestly.
They are a faff when you first use them but it really does become automatic after a while and you fill it in seconds.

Better luck next time del mate
Iv always been pretty lucky and filled them up no bother
But I can imagine how frustrating it would be if you couldn't get the little blighter in
And even more frustrating to get covered in juice,
Have a look for a tutorial on YouTube del
Thats what I did
