Cartomizers

[SIC08869]

So my kit came with no instructions. I have found that some of my Cartomizers last for 2 days, 1 lasted for about 14 hours. I think I literally got the equivalent of 5 analogs from that one. My refills have little rubber caps that cover the ends when they are new. Has anyone noticed that by covering the ends back up between use extends the life of the cartridge?

Thanks again for the help all!

They should be refillable too.

Unfortunately these are the metal cartridges that appear to be non refillable. By cover I mean that the rubber piece fits around the entire end of the cartridge filling the threading part and the hole that releases the vapor.

If it's not refillable, I'd ditch it and buy one that's going to be cost-effective and user-friendly in the long term. You also want to have the option to experiment with different liquids. What kind of e-cig do you have?

Most cartos are refillable if you try.

It is a zerocig, thinking of switching to a vapor4life kit. Are the vapor4lifes compatible with other cartos from other companies?

There, fixed that for you.

Just remove the little white rubber plug that has a small hole in the center, and drip juice in them until full.

Yes,V4L sells only KR808s and they work with other 808 stuff.They have an amazing selection.

I looked at the zerocig site, and they look like normal cartos (from what I can see). See if you can pop the mouth piece cover off by sticking something like a paper clip or small nail into the hole and prying off.

I don't know what threading the vapor4life have, but many people around here seem to like those kits, and I'm sure they can tell you.

The end is plastic that is in the metal case and it looks like I would need a pretty strong screw driver to do so. Thank you all for the quick responses.

This will explain how to refill

Yes, this is normal. Some cartos have a rubber mouth cap that is easier to remove, but the plastic ones can be pried off. I have some that came with my first kit that seemed to be glued in (they'd rather you buy more cartos of course), but if I stick a small knitting needle in the hole, they come off fairly easily and can be refilled.

Keyzygirl, are all the batteries that come in the starter kits basically all the same? I mean with the exception of manual versus automatic and long versus shorts?

You all are great thank you so much. I am going to wait till this carto is empty and see if I can pry it off. Waiting on refills and don't want to break one yet =)

Yep, might as well try right? If you can't pry it off, you can always lose the condom fill method (that may be what's in the video above, don't know didn't watch it).

Oh, and not to discourage you from getting a different kit. You may indeed want to do that. This will at least get you some more use out of the stuff you already have.

Besides auto/manual and long/short, there is also the threads that can be different.
A 510 bat has female threads where an 808 (like yours) has male threads.

condom method of filling.

note: Be sure that none is leaking out of the bottom of the carto before using on an auto bat.

 

[SIC08869]

So the last thing is, are the vapor4lifes refillable?

LOL nevermind, used their site to answer my own question.

 

[keyzygirl]

yup!

Refilling cartos is the way to go. For long life and more refills before you taste a "burnt" sensation, make sure you saturate them completely when you fill. I like this method.

DAMN! finished the catridge and you were right! Going to a local vendor to get some juice tomorrow. =)
