How to Refill Your Electric Cigarette Cartridges
Posted on April 25, 2010
Electronic Cigarettes are cheaper than regular cigarettes but if you follow these simple directions you can save even more money on your refills. It’s a little MacGyver method that only requires you purchase the e juice and aquarium filter material
- Remove cart from atomizer, then use tweezers to remove the existing filler material from your electronic cigarette cartridge. Discard old filler material.
- Take one sheet of aquarium filter material, peel the sheet in half length-wise. The aquarium filter is exactly twice as thick as it should be, so peeling it in half will give you the perfect width.
- Take a pair of scissors and cut a piece of aquarium filter from the sheet that is exactly as long as your electronic cigarette cartridge, and exactly as wide.
- Put the cut piece of aquarium filter inside the tweezer tips so that the full length of the aquarium filter is surrounded by the tweezers. You are going to insert the entire length of you tweezers inside your cartridge
- Insert tweezers with attached aquarium filter into the empty electronic cigarette cartridge, slowly working the aquarium filter down with the tweezers.
- Using scissors, cut any excess aquarium filter that is protruding above the top of the electronic cigarette cartridge. The aquarium filter should be level with the top of the electronic cigarette cartridge when you are finished.
- Refill the cartridge with your favorite e-liquid, and enjoy the savings!

Step 1 – Take the White Rubber Cap off of the end of the cartridge using tweezer or a small screwdriver. Some of the cartridge models will also have a clear rubber o-ring that you need to remove. Don’t lose this o-ring as it helps keep the e juice out of your mouth.
Step 2 – Use a syringe to add your e liquid along the outside wall of the cartridge. Generally, you will be putting .5 ml of e juice in the cartridge if using a syringe. If you do not have a syringe, this will be about 17-20 droplets. A word of warning here, go a little lower on the amount until you get proficient with refilling your own cartridges. Using a syringe is recommended over just dripping the e liquid since it is harder to over-fill the cartridge with a syringe.
Step 3 – Replace the Electronic Cigarette cartridge rubber cap. If it has an o-ring, the o-ring will go on first.
Step 4 – Roll the cartridge between your hands (similar to warming your hands) with the white cap pointed in the air for approximately 15 seconds. This is to evenly distribute the e juice inside of the cartridge.
Step 5 – Re-attach the e-cig battery and you are finished.
