Refilling a cigalike cartomiser

[tez]

Without the kindness of other people on here helping me out i would of given up vaping long ago and if i can help someone out then why not.You can use nearly all liquids you buy over the counter straight away .tez

That is a kind offer tez

tmg it's just the made to order juices that need steeping - apart from menthol ones that are good to use straight away.

Just thought I'd point out that a std cartomizer holds about 1ml, so I would think a cig e like would hold less so you should be able to refill a cart at least 10 times from one 10mm sample.

My other half puffs on a bode carto and I have been filling that every day with a home brew tobacco juice for a month so far the secret is not to let them run dry.

Well after spending some time prising the ends off a few greensmoke cartomisers with limited success (managed a direct hit on the cat with one) and then trying to get enough juice in to achieve an adequate vape, I decided refilling old ones was more trouble than it was worth. So I've ordered a pack of bode cartomisers, prompted by their popularity on here. I shall charge up my existing skycig batteries and see how that goes...I'm getting there...slowly..

Good luck with the cartomizers as I said my oh uses them plenty of vapor, when I use them I have to fill one twice a day but I'm greedy!

have you seen this video

Wow! Thankyou, quite a few questions answered in one hit! I'm sooo glad it explains what a condom is, I really didn't want to ask . I think I'll be referring back to that video when the boges arrive. I didn't have much success refilling the greensmoke ones, but I think maybe I was too impatient, anyway Thankyou again for that dakgm

The ones I got were much to big for filling the carto ?

when you top them up after they have filled and used you have to slowly dribble the liquid in from the top, I've found is best to keep them topped up during the day with a few drops from time to time, but don't over do it if you find the carto gurgles just take it off and blow it out into a paper towel. I must admit I love them you can get plenty of vapor from them, don't run them dry or you will get a burnt taste that won't disappear then it's time to bin them.

tmg how did you get on with the cartomizers, hope it all went well

[tmg]

They are surprisingly good Thankyou dakgm, much better than the prefilled ones, it didn't take me too long to master filling them. I've now reached the point where I need to either order more cartomisers or move on to a starter kit, I think I'm going to get both so I can use the boges at work (when I get the chance) and use maybe an evod starter kit at home.
Thanks for your help, it certainly got me off to a good start

[dakgm]

That's great news tmg, I don't use many flavours so I can keep a carto going for ages. Now you've mastered filling them you could try filling any old ones you have left. I think a starter kit would be a steep forward, but if what you are using works thers no rush.
