keenan Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Hate to start a new thread for this, but .... I just opened a pack of empty carts for my 510, that i cant remember for the life of me where I got them from. I KNOW it wasnt Arno, maybe vaporkings or rockymountain. ANYWAY, I went to pull out the filler to drip into the cart, and the filler is ATTACHED somehow. I wound up ripping the filler to shreds before I realized it wouldnt come out. Is this normal ? I thought the filler was supposed to be replacable.

I thought the filler was supposed to be replacable. I noticed that too, it's like this plastic double tape-thing? I went to remove an empty used up filler and noticed this white plastic adhesive. I'm guessing it's meant to be thrown away. Got mine from vaporkings.

Were you able to remove it without destroying it ? Im just reflooding the carts for now cause thats all i have left.
Christopher Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Filler is supposed to be attached, however sometimes the manufacture will skip the processes to save a bit of money. This is fairly normal.

But most of the time it becomes loosened up and all over the place. What I did was remove the filler and placed it back in the cart with the taped-thingy end showing, this way it retains it shape. Then I used tweezers to carefully remove the bits off. Sometimes it just totally rips out fillers but so far they were easily removed. I was able to get 4 of the 5 from pre-filled cartridge packages perfectly, ready to be re-used.

This is fairly normal. And again, knowledge from VT ! Thanks Chris. I kinda like it when they do skip it, MUCH easier to deal with.

No Problemo, keenan. I was wondering the same when I was pulling mine with a paper clip, took some effort to yank out.
FTJoe Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Hahaha- glad to see I wasn't the only one with this issue. "Why won't this thing come out!!!! They usually come right out @!#$!"
