Vape pens are known to be an incredible alternative to smoking. Making refillable cartridges is a excellent step towards a cleaner environment. Most vape users have a history of using an e-cigarette. Thus, a lot of them are only familiar with disposable cartridges.

If you are one of them, it is likely that you, at this very moment, are wondering how does one go about refilling vape carts?

While you can start your vaping journey with pre-filled oiled cartridges, refilling your own vape cart not only helps you cut cost in the long run, but it is an easier-to-keep alternative while giving more control to you over your vape experience.

Below, we have provided a guide for you to properly fill an empty vape pen cartridge.

Things You Need to Know First

Before we jump in, here are a few things you need to keep in mind about vape pens and refilling.

A vape pen can look similar, but not all are identical or the same way. Some vape pens have specific types of cartridges they use. So do your research before you get into refilling your pen. This article focuses on 510 cartridges because they are the most common ones you will find on the market.

Your first try should not be your last! You will likely not get it right the first time you attempt to refill a vape pen, especially with small sizes like 0.5mL. While this can be frustrating, your second try will be much better. Once you get the hang of it, replacing a cartridge will be a skill that is going to stick with you.

How to refill a cartridge?

Refilling your vape cartridge is a simple 3 step process. Start with choosing your favorite oil or distillate. After selecting the product that is right for you, it is time to start filling the cartridge

Step One: Remove the Mouthpiece

Open the cartridge up, and you can do so by twisting it counterclockwise until it is fully detached. You might have to twist it two or three full rotations to free the thread holding it in its place.

However, if you cannot get it off and you have not been able to find information about your pen, the answer is that the vape pen does not have refillable cartridges.

After you have taken it off, place the mouthpiece in a safe location, so it is not lost or damaged. Without it, your cartridge will be useless.

Step Two: Fill the Cartridge

This is the step where we will use a syringe. But if you do not have a syringe, an eye-dropper also does the job. The former is more precise and has a lesser risk of leaking products.

Fill your syringe and gently push the syringe tip into the cartridge and fill it to the top, or where you find the max fill line. You should leave the cartridge attached to your battery to help hold onto it better while refilling.

Even though your cartridge may have a fill line, you do not always need to use it because most cartridges are designed to hold 1 gram or 0.5 grams of distillate.

Step Three: Replace the Mouthpiece

You are almost done! Take the mouthpiece and gently put it back onto the cartridge. Twist it around clockwise until it is tightly screwed on.

You need to make sure the mouthpiece is snug and in place, do not tighten it more than necessary; this could easily break it or its threads.

If you use this process in reverse, this is a great way to remove oil from a vape cartridge if it is not to your liking or if you need to unclog it.

Find A Good Vape Cartridge

Refilling vape carts is becoming more and more popular by the day. People find it cost-effective, mainly because the oil is much cheaper than buying a newly filled cartridge, and you can use it for a long time.
