A few newb questions...

[Mr. Android]

Hiya everyone!

Very new to vaping (i get my first e-cig today!) and I had a question or two.

Firstly, is it a bad idea to pre-fill your carts? What I mean is, if I have 5 carts, should I not pre-fill them all at once, and then use them when needed? If it's ok to do so, is there a given shelf life for a filled cart?

Secondly (yes I make up my own words, lol), is there any negatives to using cartomizers as opposed to atomizers? I know from reading that cartomizers can hold more e-juice, but do they give less vape or TH? does the built in atomizer in a cartomizer not last as long? Is it easier to get juice accidentally in your mouth with a cartomizer then with a standard cart?

Thanks

I prefill my cartridgess for the day the night before... no problems there if you have saved those little rubber caps form the prefilled carts.

Regarding cartomizers, I don't like them... but it's probably a personal thing. I enjoy having control over my wicking material, juice, and keeping the cartridge portion of my equipment clean. Refilling a cartomizer seems like too much of a hassle for me as well. I like atomizers.

Buy those are my strange personal preferences... a very many people would swear by cartomizers...

Along the lines of pre-filling carts...will they "dry out" over a period of a couple of days or, if they are capped, should they be good to go?

I travel frequently for work, although my trips usually have me out the door and back home in about 48 hours. I'd rather just have some pre-filled carts to take along for the ride and not have to add the juice to my little carry-on ziploc bag. Yes the bottles are small, but one less thing to pack is one less thing.

If I keep the little caps on carts, they stay fine for about a week. After that they seem to start drying out, but slowly.

I use stock 510 carts and both original and 902 cart caps. The original are better, but the 902 cart caps will work.

Setting them upright will give you the best guarantee that they won't leach.
And I understand about not wanting to drag extra stuff with you but never, ever, go anywhere without extra batteries, attys, and liquid!
