I'm gonna try to fill a SPRK cart for the first time with pure distillate in a luer tip syringe. I want to have the least mess and waste. Just wanted to check if I'm missing any tips to help my process. This is what i'm planning:
1. drop the disty syringe w/o needle in a cup of hot tap water for 5-10 min.
2. Open the SPRK cart
3. Place luer lock needle on syringe and briefly heat needle so it's warm too
4. aim needle into cart and squeeze to fill with a 3/4 turn to avoid bubbles.
5. Fill to just below glass in cart, then cap with mouthpiece.
6. drop the filled cart in hot water so the disty settles to the bottom of the cart.
Sound ok? Is hot tap water good enough to let the disty flow well? Thanks!
I wouldn’t put your finished cart in any water, as it can get in the MP and airpath. Just sit the cart upright, by the time you put the cap on, which you should do within a few minutes after filling, the oil with drain down. The KEY here is to wait till the oil soaks into the ceramics inside, if you are impatient, and hit a DRY cart, you will burn the COTTON, and there is cotton in a SPRK cart, confirmed this with them, as well as breaking apart one myself. Most carts on the market have a bit of cotton which helps feed the ceramics. CCells do as well. They fool us a bit by claiming “full ceramic”, which is kinda true. Anyways, if you burn that cotton, before the oil slowly soaks in, you have a burnt taste until you toss that cart. Some recommend letting the cart soak UPRIGHT…. OVERNIGHT.
I don’t use water at all. I heat the oil filled syringe for about 1.5 minutes on a tiny coffee mug heater, the oil gets thin very quickly, never bothered to heat the metal tip, or the empty cart. Unfortunately, the SPRK carts don’t hold a full ML, so you recap the syringe, and use the remaining to refill again when cart gets near empty. Always store your carts UPRIGHT, to keep oil over the inlet holes. Good luck!

“Once the oil has fully dropped down into the cartridge screw the cap back onto the cartridge and store it upright for at least 2 hours to fully wick. We recommend leaving it overnight to allow for the oil to fully soak into the coils before taking your first hit, but 2 hours is the minimum amount of time before you should take your first hit.”
