Broke it in my pants pocket, it pulled the element right out of the bottom of the cart. I tried just putting it back in really tight but I just get a weird blinking from my battery.

Has anyone had luck getting these damn things back in working order?

EDIT: Thanks guys, I’m gonna put this one in my box of ‘recover later’ carts too until I get another to refill.

    Definitely not, the atomizer is f’d D: I couldn’t fix that and I’ve made my own coils for a decade.

    But like others said, you can salvage the liquid and put it into another cart!

    go to your local pharmacy and get a medical syringe - you can get blank tips online then transfer the liquid with the syringe

    Probably not. I imagine that wire has to connect to something inside.

    However, if you can get the top to unscrew, you might be able to get the juice into a cart that works. That’s worked for me a few times but it’s also not worked a few times. That stuff is sticky and messy as hell.

    Find another cart that you can open and unscrew the top. If you hold a lighter to the outside if the broken cart (if it’s glass) then you can use the heat make the fluid more liquid and easier to transfer. You probably have to move the lighter back and forth to avoid applying too much heat to one area. Then see if you can ooz the juice into the working cart.
