thisbetterwork Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ok, i'm about a month into vaping and there is certainly a learning curve. I received my first cartos today and love it. So easy and they work great. So, what kind of life do these things get? How many times do you guys refill them? Do they just start to taste like arse when they're kicked or do they just stop working? I have several attys now and really intend on sticking with the cartos for the most part. But i've recently been enjoying dripping. My attys need cleaning as i was flooding them a lot at first. What's the best way to clean these attys for future dripping? Thanks everyone. Happy vaping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 As far as cartos are concerned... your best bet is to keep them from ever going dry. Don't let them get to the point of tasting bad.... just keep them full if you can. I can't help you with atty's... as I only use cartos now. Can't stand regular atty's after using cartos for so long.

benjamin1990 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 all i use is cartos. i love them . they are the best i have a video in the how to section of the forum check it out it will make your attys and cartomizers last for a while. i use a single cartomizer almost a month. and i do it by cleaning it about every two weeks. sometimes more sometimes less. hope that video helps you out.

mcquinn Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I usually get a 10 ml bottle of liquid from a carto before it starts tasting bad and I chuck it, with atties I think it depends a lot on the liquid you use how long they last I have had some work as long as six months and others a few days.

Christopher Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 While you can stretch cartomizets for quite a long time, remember the fiber inside wasn't designed to be burned to a crisp. You'll notice the carto turn brown in the middle after a while, it's at this point you are probably best to change it out. It's just not worth the potential to inadvertently inhale anything toxic.

snubber Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Have to agree with that one. If you can get one carto to last say a month you're way ahead of the game. And at the price that some vendors are selling them you really aren't loosing money. Remember that they were made to be disposable. I've had some last a few weeks and some only a couple of hits. They really are touchy. But good luck on your quest. Good luck and happy vaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 My biggest complaint about carto's is the amount of liquid that you never get to use ,as it takes a lot to fill one the first time and a lot is left in there when you chuck them.But they are more consistant during thier lifespan.

That's when I toss mine... I've also found that once the juice starts turning brownish I just give it a good ol "T-spin" and start with fresh juice. Man I love cartos. No more fumbling with atty's/dripping/cleaning/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
