Selection of electronic cigarette oiling tools

1. Type of oil filling bottle

Dropper type oil filling bottle: The dropper head design is suitable for precisely controlling the oil filling volume and is suitable for small-capacity cartridges or atomizers. When in use, insert the dropper tip into the oiling hole of the e-liquid cartridge, gently pinch the bottle body, and the e-liquid will be slowly injected to avoid overflow.

Needle-type oiling bottle: Equipped with a slender needle, suitable for deep holes or small-diameter cartridges. The needle can penetrate deep into the interior of the cartridge, reducing the contact between the e-liquid and the oil filling hole and lowering the risk of oil leakage. When in use, pay attention to the insertion depth of the needle to avoid puncturing the internal structure.

Extrusion type oil filling bottle: The bottle body is soft, and oil is filled by extrusion, which is suitable for rapid oil filling. However, it is necessary to control the squeezing force to avoid injecting too much e-liquid at one time, which may cause overflow.

2. Material and sealing performance

Material selection: The oil filling bottle should be made of food-grade plastic or glass to ensure that the e-liquid is not contaminated. Plastic material is lightweight and durable, while glass material is transparent and easy to observe the remaining balance, but it is necessary to be careful not to drop it.

Sealing performance: The connection between the cap of the oil filling bottle and the dropper/needle should have good sealing performance to prevent the leakage of e-liquid. When choosing, you can make a preliminary judgment by gently shaking the bottle and observing whether there is any liquid seeping out.

3. Capacity and portability

Capacity selection: Choose the appropriate capacity based on usage frequency and carrying requirements. Small-capacity oil filling bottles (such as those under 10ml) are suitable for carrying around, while large-capacity oil filling bottles (such as those over 30ml) are suitable for home use or long-term use.

Portability: Consider the size and weight of the oiling bottle to ensure it is easy to fit into a pocket or bag. Some oil filling bottles are designed with lanyard holes or anti-slip textures to enhance portability.

4. Applicable cartridge types

Open cartridge: Suitable for most oiling tools. You can choose the appropriate dropper or needle according to the size of the cartridge’s oiling hole.

Closed cartridges: Some closed cartridges may not be directly oiled. It is necessary to choose a dedicated oiling tool or modify the cartridge. Before use, make sure the cartridge supports oiling to avoid damage.

5. Ease of operation

One-handed operation: Select a well-designed oiling bottle to ensure that the oiling operation can be completed with one hand. For instance, the cap of a dropper type oil filling bottle should be easy to open and close, and the needle of a needle type oil filling bottle should be convenient to insert and remove.

Anti-drip and leak-proof design: Some oiling bottles are designed with anti-drip and leak-proof structures at the dropper or needle tip, such as rebound valves or leak-proof plugs, which can reduce residue and dripping after oiling.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

Easy cleaning: Choose a simple-structured oiling bottle for easy cleaning and replacement of e-liquid. Some oil filling bottles can be disassembled and cleaned to prevent the residue of e-liquid from causing deterioration.

Maintenance cost: Consider the durability of the oil filling bottle and the cost of replacing accessories. For instance, the needle of a needle-type oil filling bottle may need to be replaced regularly due to wear and tear, so it is necessary to choose a style with easily accessible accessories.
