pre-filling cartridges?

[lorraineg57]

Anyone do this? I bought 10 empty dura carts to use with my 901 which should be arriving today. I'm just wondering if anyone does this and keeps the cartridges around for say a week if they dry out? I'd top off when I'm at home but I'm just curious: when you buy pre-filled cartridges what keeps them from drying out? From what I've seen on the suppliers sites, it doesn't appear that they're vacuum packed or anything...If you filled cartridges with liquid and they did dry out (not from vaping, just from air), could you not use water to rehydrate? Too bad there's no way to "wick" the liquid into cartridges to avoid over-filling (initial filling of blank cartridges). So many questions and I don't even have my toy yet! Should be coming today, a 901 and dura carts and juice.

Also anyone know offhand if MVS pre-charges batteries?

When you buy pre-filled carts. they have a little rubber plug covering the top and then a plastic cap over that so they don't dry out.
Don't use water to refill a dried out cartridge. You can't vape water. Just refill it with juice.

Buy a large box of smallest size disposable surgical gloves. Each glove has five fingers which you can cut off and store filled carts in You can seal the open end of the cart with foil or cling film first. Then tie a knot in each finger.

That's the best I have come up with to date, but I 'll bet there is a better idea out there.

Any better notions, guys?

I got small zip bags(like you would put jewelery in) from the craft store and keep them in there. That way I can carry them in my purse. I put the empties in another that way they don't dry out completely.

That's a neat idea.

Can't you reuse these caps that come with pre-filled carts?

Just wondering, I haven't gotten mine yet either.

Depends on the brand of carts. My RN4702 penstyle carts come with rather fiddly soft little plastic seals as well as the long white plastic caps. I have a lot of trouble replacing the little seals to protect the cart from drying out.
For folks with excellent manual dexterity it may not be a problem, but I drop the little ^#%!"#~&+*&!%' s every time.

Yes you can. On the RN4081 carts they will even push the cart to the correct level inside.

I use a small pill bottle for my DSE801 carts and a film cannister for the Pilot M401. Keeps them clean and moist.

Yes, I have a few film canisters lying about. Nice one, Idahojo!

No, I didn't mean use water to refill it, just to "rehydrate" an already filled cart that's dried out from exposure. I figured if you can cut VG with distilled water....

Thanks for the ideas. I haven't opened my goodies yet. I wonder if the blank cartridges have any kind of caps....I got the Dura carts to use. I haven't told DH about the purchase yet so I'm waiting for him to be soundly asleep before I open the packages. He won't care if it gets me off analogs but he may be in a snit over my spending the money right now...oh well!

Pilot Travel centers (truckstops) have them in stock but they are 19.99 for a ten pack. Can't tell where you are from but at exit 87 on 65-24 there is one. on 1-24 just south of nashville in lavergne at exit 64 and east of nasville on I40 exit238 there is another. I think they are carried at all pilotstations so keep an eye out for one.
