Advantage of empty cartos

[mn shutterbug]

I realize most members buy empty cartos and then refill them. What is the advantage of that over buying prefilled cartos? I've always figured since there wasn't much difference in price, may as well get them prefilled. Do the empty ones refill more times before getting hard to draw? That's the only reason I throw mine away. After about 5 fills, they are no longer enjoyable due to them getting plugged.

I buy empties because prefilled cartos just don't taste good to me. I also tend to prefer liquids that don't come in any cartos.

Same here. I have not been thrilled with any of the flavors in the prefilled cartos, so it's either suffer through them, rinse them out as soon as I open them or just buy empty. If you like any of the prefilled flavors it would certainly make sense to buy them instead.

Same here too. I'd buy pre-filled if it was pre-filled with something I actually liked.

Well I just bought some blanks to find out myself but I usually buy the prefilled cool rush & taboo cartos from liquidXpress since like the op said, they are the same price. However, I actually love the flavor of the liquidXpress cartomizers.

Yeah, I would only buy pre-filled if the flavor was an exact match...

Blank Cartos are terrific.

Some - actually for me, the majority of prefilled cartos, have an 'underflavor' - been discussed here many times - that never leaves even when the flavor is gone - not so with blank cartos.
