How long do they last before you use them? I take it you mean how long do pre-filled carto's last before you should use them?

I would say if sealed, probably about a year or so, but that's just a guess. juice in the bottle is supposed to be good for what, 2 years or less?

My suggestion would to be to get blank carto's, then fill them with e-juice of your liking.

As with any eliquid, keep in a cool place and they should last a while.

Meanwhile, if they are soft-caps (like Vapor4Life) and you can pop the cap see inside for adding juice (or for removing any seals if you want to fill a different way), you could try spinning out the current juice from a few of them then refilling with some compatible lower flavor. I need to do the same thing - I started on 18mg and have stepped down my nic twice and I need to empty a bunch of cartos.

Search Youtube for Reverse Taryn Spin to see how to get juice out. I do not use the filling method show in there.

I went through all the cartomizers that are sold beings that's all I use and you should consider getting blanks as was previously suggested. I only use Ikenvapes cartomizers now as they are the best there are. People that use them are reporting anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks use to over 3 months on one cartomizer so in the long run they're less expensive. They also put out more vapor and better taste. Plus buying Juice and refilling means your carto will always be fresh, better tasting and allot less money.

I toss mine after a week, sometimes two weeks if it was a really good carto because the drag gets so stiff on them by then. I personally don't bother cleaning poly fiber filled cartos anymore because it never made a difference for me, unless they are CE2's.
This information is only useful if you decide to refill your cartos.
