<h2 id="0">Supplies Needed To Refill A Cartridge With Distillate</h2>
<ul>
<li>Empty Cartridges</li>
<li>Distillate Oil</li>
<li>Syringe</li>
<li>Heat Source</li>
<li>Oil Filler Machine (Optional)</li>
<li>Terpenes (Optional)<br /><br /></li>
</ul>
<p>Luckily, <a href="https://weedzly.com/brands/house-products/products/dp-daytime-1g-refill-cartridge">refilling cartridges</a> with distillate is done using a small machine, or by hand, so nearly anyone can do it. To fill only one cartridge, you basically just need the oil, a syringe, heat source, and the cartridge.</p>
<p>The syringe is used for injecting the distillate into the cartridge, and the heat source is required to make the distillate flow easier. If you have access to a filler machine, this is even better because it usually acts as both the syringe and the heat source. Hence, making the process very quick.</p>
<p>Terpenes are an addition you can add to your oil that puts the flavor and aromas back into the concentrate that are otherwise lost during the distillate extraction process.</p>

<h2 id="1">How To Refill A Cartridge With Distillate (Step-by-step)</h2>
<h3 id="3">Step #1</h3>
<p>Unscrew the cartridge so you can access the empty tank. The majority of them are threaded, which means all you have to do is twist.</p>
<h3 id="4">Step #2</h3>
<p>The next step involves warming the distillate. There are many ways you can go about doing this, and the amount of heat required will depend on the viscosity of your oil. The point of this step is to make the oil more fluid, so it moves easier.</p>
<p>But, don't go overboard and use too much heat. So, take care to ensure that you are heating it with indirect heat until the point that it's liquid enough to be taken up into the syringe. When using a machine, there should be an option that allows you to adjust the oil's temperature inside of it. It's best if you keep it somewhere between 100 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, but again, this will depend on your distillate.</p>
<p>After the oil reaches your desired consistency, the terpenes can be added and should equal between 5% and 15% of your distillate amount. Remember that a little goes a long way with terpenes, and the more you add, the thinner your oil will get. If you add terpenes, stir the mixture to disperse the components evenly.</p>
<h3 id="5">Step #3</h3>
<p>Once the oil is heated into a liquid form and your terpenes have been added if needed, go ahead and begin extracting the distillate using the syringe. Then, inject it into your cartridge's reservoir. If you start experiencing problems, it may be that you didn't heat it long enough or add enough terpenes.</p>
<h3 id="6">Step #4</h3>
<p>After you've carefully filled the cartridge, cap it off with the plastic cap it came with or use a mouthpiece to seal it. It's recommended to wait anywhere from 12 up to 24 hours to allow the oil to settle and soak the coils. After this, you are good to go, and your carts are ready for use!</p>
