I have no experience with refilling.  I just didn't want to go 
there.  However, I can't see why you couldn't fill from the top 
provided you left another hole for air to escape while you're filling.

LOL.  I've recently found out that Jettec carts have poppet valves.  
They sell refill kits with a chip resetter but I'm not sure if those 
kits include empty carts.
