Has anyone had success refilling the new style carts from AO100? I generally get my carts from PrintPal and the last time they sent me a new style cart. It has a much larger main reservoir and a small one (1/4 inch or so) and sandwiched in between is the sponge and exit port that is just barely wider than the exit port hole.
I usually use the "German" method to refill but with the small reservoir I am afraid to drill into it.

The vent hole is right on top of the large res. where you would normally drill to fill. So if I drill there I can't really seal it as there may not be another vent hole.

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Edit:
I measured the cart and it seems the 'main' tank is 37mm long. Then the sponge area is 20mm. After that there is a small
section 5mm with liquid ink in it.
There is a vent on top of the main tank and I just enlarged it slightly and refilled there, then put a piece of foil tape over
it with a very small pin hole.
I'll try this out and see if it works. It looks like this cart would hold about twice what the std one does.
