About the pre-filled carts that come with a starter kit....

[Keita]

Are they even good? I dont want to waste a atty on them if they suck (i have 10, 5 from my starter, 5 from my brother since he only uses cartomizers)

Is it worth to use to screw up a atomizers flavor? I have no idea what flavor they are (probrobly tobacco)

What do you guys do with your pre-filled starter carts

The pre-filled that came with my No.7 were good...lasted long. I now refill them with e-juice. Addy is still going strong after 27 days constant use...

Well, if you're like me you'll eventually be using the same atomizer for all your juices.
I just put one juice on top of another.

Of course it helps that most of my flavors compliment each other somewhat.
It doesn't really take long for most flavors to switch over though.

Notice I said most flavors.
Some stick more than others.

A few people prefer to use different atomizers for different juices.
Most prefer to use different atomizers just for different flavor categories.

Whatever you do, it won't hurt anything.
Just need to try it and figure out what you want to do.

I like the pre-filled menthols that came with my 510 kit. Just need to top them off.

27 days on one atomizer? I like the sound of that! I've heard you need a new one every week on other posts. Maybe it's a preference thing.

Well when I was looking to buy my first e-cig...mind you I didn't find this site befor hand...lol I found ecigaretteschoice.com, and when looking at the No.7 they say on the site their atty's last up to 3 months or longer. That's what made me buy this one for my first ecig...it's the only ecig I have at the moment. But the atty seems to be going nice and strong. The only thing I do do clean it is blow out the e-juice every now and then and once a week rinse under hot water, blow it out and start using again...I don't let it dry over night...

Read in your other post you got the eGo. Nice choice by the way. Those 5 carts you get in your kit are filled in china. No telling how old they are but if you open one and smell it, pretty sure it will smell like a stale cigg. If your going to use carts with your new set up i would save them. When you decide to start filling your own you can drain them out clean them and refill. Might even look into getting some blue foam for cart filler. I hear the blue foam performs alot better then the default stuff they put in them.

Keita I don't think you will screw up your atty by using those pre-filled carts. On the other hand, there are probably very few who actually like the flavor of those factory prefills.

Get yourself some e-juice samples. Pull the poly fill out of the pre filled carts and rinse them out under the faucet. Pat them dry with a paper towel. When they are good and dry, put them back in the cart and drop in your own juice.

They can be reused/refilled several times before they wear out. That is, they will start tasting odd, or form a caramalized layer on top that prevents liquid absorbing in or out.

Eventually you will have to either replace the filling or order empty carts.

Currently I am using the blue aquarium foam as filler. Works pretty well once you figure out the proper density to stuff your cart with. Varies depending on the thickness of the juice. Not just any blue aquarium foam. Marineland brand, Rite-size U. My Walmart doesn't carry it, but Petsmart does.

Also, there is the polyfil at Wal-mart that works pretty well. You could fill about 10,000 carts with one bag of that. Get the crib size. Its layered to about the right thickness.
