Cant fill cartomisers

[gumball]

Good evening all of immense wisdom
I have had delivery of my new Riva today from freedomvape (thanks Kev for the amazingly fast delivery).

I do have one silly question, I have been looking at how to fill the cartomisers and there are loads of ways, such as the condom method or the centrifugal method. My questioning is simpler. Now I may be being thick, but how do I get the juice out of the bottle. I can get the odd drop, but I can't seem to get it to drip out of the bottle into the condom or the fuzzy felt thing inside the carto. ???

Answers on a postcard please

And yes, I do know I sound like I shouldn't be left along unsupervised reading back my message, but I am truly baffled as I don't want to end up covered in the stuff or it to be all over my dining room table.

Dunno about immense wisdom

Sorry I'm out of postcards so you'll have to read it here!

The bottles often have a sort of little flap just inside the spout to stop the juic flowing too fast. Sometimes these flaps just restrict the flow too much. Just find someting that will fit down the spout (I use a blunt syringe needle or a pin) and give it a jab, that should do the trick.

where in the midlands are ya?????if not to far meet up for coffee/chat and ill show ya

des - well I never knew that!

Without sounding too patronising which is highly doubtful cos whatever way I say it it's going to sound like I am being but honestly I don't mean it but you are squeezing the bottle aren't you? Squeeze, drip comes out, release to let air into bottle (summat to do with physics) and then squeeze again.

I'm so sorry I'll go now cos I'm sure I've offended you - please know I didn't mean to but I tend to think what answer would my mum need - highly intelligent woman just no common sense :-)

Gumball, if you aren't too far away, do take River up on kind offer

Des is right, either widen the hole with a needle, or cut the a tiny bit off the plastic dripper with a needle.

Can you confirm you are trying to fill a cartridge or cartomiser? If you just bought the Riva kit from Kev, it comes with atomisers & cartridges.

River, I am mid Warwickshire. Tizerbelle, I feel so stupid! I thought that the bottles were solid. Crisis averted and I can now use it. I'd be dangerous if I had a brain. Who'd have thunk that a guy with a good degree couldn't work
out that all he had to do was squeeze a bottle. How embarrassing. Sorry all.

[Chrissie]

Nothing to be sorry or embarrassed about Gumball

[River]

lol.....if ever you are walsall way the offer still stands

[tizerbelle]

Phew! Don't feel stupid - I have done far worse as has someone on this forum who shall remain nameless who can't even be trusted to buy a pair of shoes on their own.

[gumball]

I certainly will take you up on the offer if I am ever up your way. Now off to try the awesome flavour of aniseed

[Chrissie]

Gumball, not sure if you missed ny previous post up there ^^^ but can you confirm if you are trying to fill cartomisers or cartridges?

[gumball]

Sorry Chrissie, I am using cartomisers, I brought them as I didn't want to faff around with atomisers and cartridges.

[Chrissie]

That's OK then Gumball, I just didn't want to think of you trying to fill cartridges with the condom method
