[tector]

Hi all.

those cartos:
5pc empty eGo cartomizers! BIG SIZE! - eGo cartomizer Heaven Gifts

are really great..


but should i throw it after 1 day?... should i pay 13.5$ every week??...

my understanding is that you can get multiple uses out of a cartos. Theoretically, they are made to be disposable, used once and tossed. However, most people seem to get at least 3-4 fills off a cartomizer before they start to see a degradation in function/flavor.

I normally use my cartos 5-10 times before tossing them. The main thing to remember is to always keep it moist with juice. I will refill the carto i am currently vaping 2-3 times per day. this way it never runs all the way down. I do once every 2-3 days vape it until i taste the atty, then its def time to add juice.

Back when I was using cartos, I was refilling them way more than 5-10 times.

I second this. Not sure how far you could push these little guys, but you dont know till you try. Remember most advice from vendor like expiration date on eliquid is a guess more or less, when they can count on the product working right/tasting right/etc. Just because the eggs in your fridge are past the 'best if used by' date doesnt mean they are actually bad/spoiled/etc. Vendor is hedging their bets so customer is satisfied with product.

Around here we tend to crack stuff open and do a little open heart surgery to get a little more life out of our gear. Sometimes were just being cheap, sometimes we're just having fun . Never know what will work best for you till you try.

I refill them 7-10 times, wash them, and then refill 'em some more. And if I can't get a decant taste/draw back, I rip out the filler and drip into them.

I lose some here and there, but with such a simplistic atomizing element, a well cared-for carto can just go on for ages in some form if you treat it right.

You really should toss them after one day...............................my way that is! Those ego cartos are the bomb. They come in .5 ohms lower than a Boge hold a ton on juice and vape like a champ.

Just keep refilling til they taste off and then chuck em. I've been hittin one hard for 3-4 days and betting i get a week or more out of them.

I can practically chain vape a standard Boge 510 carto for three hours...I know, I did an experiment, almost made myself sick! Good thing I vape low mg! One of those mega ego cartos can go 5 or 6 hours without needing more juice. And yes, you can refill them, making them last days, a week...or more I suppose.

I buy mine from V4L and use them for at least 3 days before they start tasting gnarly. Then I toss them. I own every mod in the book, but right now the only way to go is with my V4L manual/long bats and blank cartos filled with my juice. hate those pre filled cartos... they never taste right to me

And condom filing is the way to go... so easy

oops.........................

You dispose of them when they break. A 15min boil will make em like new, presuming the heating element still works.

If you do this remove all plastic pieces from your cartos before boiling!

The cartomizers linked are not 808 or 510 cartos, and CAN NOT be boiled, they are ENTIRELY made out of plastic.

Can not condom fill these cartos, they require a syringe, they are talking about eGo carto's, not the standard type.
