I Think I Screwed Something Up

[APD99]

I got a bulk lot of stuff from a retiring vaper in addition to buying a boatload of stuff myself (wife says i've gon vape happy) I'll give the list than list my problem:

My purchases:

1x Blu starter kit

2x Blu cartomizer 5 pack

1x 306 blank cartomizers 5 pack

1x eGo kit (charger, 2x batts, 2x atty, 2x, cones 5x prefilled carts)

3x 5ml fruity juices

1x 16ml tobacco juice

From other vaper:

2x riva batts

1x riva cone

2x empty smart carts

bunch of DIY juice stuff

3x 3ml juice samples

Have on order:

2x eGo-t attys

2x 5 pack empty t-tanks

Problem#1

I took a smart cart pulled out the little polyfill thing, filled it with some juice (about 6 drops)put the polyfill back in popped it into one of the eGo attys, screwed that into the riva batt and vaped for an hour...drained it dry and it leaked like a sieve. Did I use this thing wrong or something? I get 2-3 days out of a blu carto and i've filled one of the blank cartos and gotten 2 days out of that (on the blu).

Problem#2

I get my eGo today along with the shipment from the retiree and all of a sudden i'm going to need a second mortgage to keep in e-juice because i had to refill the ego cart 2 times today in a 6 hour period (no complaints on battery life tho it went all day on the one charge)

as a side note all my juice is VG because the PG makes me cough

You fill the cart with the polyfill still in it. You add drops untill the polyfill begins to look like a "slushie". If it pools, you added to much and it may leak

Also, cartomizers hold alot more liquid than a cartridge will. I am not familliar with the "Blu" e cig but if you can use it for a full day, I'm assuming it is a cartomizer, not a cartridge.

wish i had my camera working but if you can try to see this but the smart cart is a whistle tip with a clear container inside it that comes out, 3/4 of the container is empty airspace but the end has a small polyfill plug. the whistle tip has cutouts on either side so you can see through it so i just assumed that you were supposed to fill the whole darn thing up and vape it

Hmmm, never used one of them before. Sorry.

I actually figured it out after a lot of searching. Apparently you're not supposed to remove the poly, but you are supposed to use a syringe to inject the juice behind it. Who knew

Welcome to the sometimes messy life of vaping. I can't tell you how much juice I waisted my first 2 months lol. It happens but you'll get the hang of it. I swore my mega Atty was a mega Carto for 3 weeks and couldn't figure for the life of me why it leaked when I filled it.

It's all a learning curve.

I like your line up though, sounds like your officially a toy addict like the rest of us. Welcome!

Well, APD99, I guess I'm still a very green newbie. I have not seen that carto before, well, you learn something every day.
