Im waiting to recieve my Vapor King from Vapor4Life should be here by the weekend.. From what i hear you can refill the cartomizers 2-3 times which in my opinion will still save you money probably not as much as filling ur 510 but still you'll be saving... I'll try to keep track of how well i do with the Vapor king and report back.

All up in your grill..
Cartomizers are more expensive for certain. (think about it, you are basically throwing away the atomizer every time) However this cost is offset by not having to constantly replace atomizers. also you can refill cartomizers 2-3 times which does take the edge off the higher cost. I personally would never use a 3 piece. Alot of people love them though.

okay well how long does a cartimzer last? like how many would i go through a month roughly (baring in mind i go through about 10ml a week)

I find the factory filler cartomizers will last about 3x as long as self-refilled one.

I wouldn't recommend this model e-cig to anyone who vapes heavily and/or constantly.

at 1.5ml a day..might be OK for you.

i am about 3 weeks into using cartomizer style ecigs. I like them a lot better. Flavor is as good as a 901, throat kick is a blast, vapor is great when they get warmed up.
As stated earlier you can refill them more than a couple times, some people have used a single cartomizer for over a couple weeks. Single cartomizer with 10 drops of juice in it lasts me a couple hours, in same amout of time i probably would have dripped more than 10 drops on my 510 or 901.
Unless you have really good luck or just outright baby ur traditional atomizers i think its worth the price that you get 5 packs of cartomizers for the same price of a single atomizer.
If you already own a 901 Personal vaporizer keep in mind that the threads are compatible with the kr808d1(cartomizer style) batteries, sooo just incase u find yourself wanting to go back to traditional 3 piece PV then just slap on one of your old atties with extended battery life!

I tried to keep this video 3 minutes long so i kinda rushed it. My 901 passthrough kinda cut out on me i n the video, what i meant to say is the throat hit, but noticed the lack of vapor and said that instead haha

Looks good but I think a more in-depth cost analysis is needed. Many of my customers are still using the same atomizers I sold them months ago while I replace mine on average after around 3+ months. Im sure most others have the same experiences since they are all from the same few factories.

You are very right, with knowledge about cleaning, and how not to abuse your atomizers they can last awhile longer, but i gotta say that nothings better than a freshly broken in atomizer. All my old atomizers taste a little funky each a little in their own way depending what juice i reserved them for. i used to stress about cleaning them often as to avoid hard black carbon build up (i found that just a regular really hot bath worked best though i have tried the other soaking or dry burning methods) i got tired of maintaining and constantly dripping, as some on this forum have said you really do feel like a junkie. With cartomizers a filled cartridge does its job. -Back to the point you should be able to use a single traditional atomizer well over a month with them still tasting good and functioning, but i cant really say how long u can refill a cartomizer b4 they go bad, mainly because in the 3-4 weeks i been using it i havent had one go bad yet, and as long as you dont burn them dry i assume u could get quite a bit of use out each one. ive been refilling 4 cartomizers mainly and occasionally pop on a fresh out of the box cartomizer, been putting coffee in my ry4 cartomizer, marlboro in my marboro, and melon or menthol in my menthol cartomizers. I really need to try to limit to one or two cartomizers till they die, but i've also heard that some last longer than other, but how does that differ to regular atomizers, sometimes they just dont last.
