A lot of them have glue on the other end. What do you do with that?

Ok I may be a little lost here on different terms so to be sure heres my question...

Are what some call wicks actually the wool or filler that is in the cartridge that is connected to the mouthpiece on the penstyle atomizer?


When I hear wick I think of the silverish brillo kind of thing down inside the atomizer that is closest to the battery when connected.


Mind you I only have 1 e-cig atm and that is the penstyle RN4072 but I have seen pictures where some look different.

Thanks in advance.. I am so easily confused

Wick is the filler in the cartridge

I definitely top off the same cart for a couple days, then take out the filler and rinse/dry.

I also mix flavors/brands sometimes. For instance, my favorite flavors at the moment are Camel High and Regular High from www.e-smokeytreats.com. Sometimes I'll fill my cart with one of those and if I get a little tired of it, I might top off with a drop or two from my JC sampler. I don't like the JC on their own very much due to lack of vapor, but I like their flavors, and they work great as an additive.

The big problem is right now I have 6 used carts sitting on my desktop and I want to squeeze them to get the juice back, but I don't know what flavors are in each. I think I will start a new bottle that is all the old juice drippings.....kind of like an everything bagel lol. Might be pretty nasty....

I need to figure out some way of organizing better.....

Chokmah--the white polyester is called the Core--and you are lucky at best to get two to maybe three days of use before you need to clean or replace it---Sun

Ziplok bags and a permanant marker is how I seperate the flavors. I also have on for the clean dried filler wicks that can be re-used (still in decent shape) 1 for filler wicks that still need cleaned and 1 for those that sill need drained. Then I have my empty carts in another bag and the tubing to cover the carts for travel..

Hope this helps ya some..

lol, ive never changed a cart really. I've tried changing it after a few weeks, but it was no different, so i just use the same cart. the only thing ive ever done is take out the filler in my 401 and press it in a tissue because it was all brown looking. the tissue soaked all the brown out, was good as new again, so i kept going with it. cant say as ive gone much over a month on a cart since i have moved from a 901 to a 401 to an em-901, but i have gone over a month on both 901 and 401 carts, and they still work like the day i got them. dunno what you people are doing to your carts smokin em dry or something i guess, lol.
p.s.- i do rinse my carts by putting juice in it and smoking it out
