I wish it was mine but nope. I'll probly change it a couple of times in the next few daze.



If you buy pre fills and top them off with the same juice there's no need to clean them everytime until they start tasting funky. I go through about 3-4 ml a day so I'd go broke quick tossing them. Average carto life, refilling, seems to be between a week and two if you use SI's juice. I've heard of a month but I've never got that long. Using heavier vg and dark thick flavors diminishes that quite a bit for me. YMMV. I still do it but know I'm writing off longevity. Gotta pay for my pleasure.

I regularly get 2, 3 months off the same carto w/the same juice...even the DARKEST and most carto killing juices! NO cleaning in between fills, just a few drops every 5 or 6 hours. I have a carto that has had the same juice, same carto, no cleaning since Aug 2011. and I use it EVERYDAY.

I would be very upset if each carto did not last at LEAST 1 to 3 months! and they do that for me. Not sure what the rest of you are doing with them LOL!

K fine, I have at least 10 to 30 going each day, so guess I'm not as hard on them as some of you....;)

I do the same. I top them off way before I get to the end, and I have a lot of different cartos that I change around. I do find some cartos languishing, though, and that I'm starting to stick to the same few flavors. I might be zeroing in on what I like, though there are so many flavors out there yet to try! I have a feeling I'm going to be busy tasting new flavors for quite some time.

I got SI's sampler packs because I didn't know which flavors I'd like. I still am not quite sure, but the flavors I like weren't what i anticipated, so I guess you, too, should be prepared for surprises. Order the tiniest bottles they sell till you know if you like a flavor, then get bigger bottles of those you like. That's the way to go. What SI flavors did you get? I've tried them all, so I can give you an idea of what they taste like.

Well, I ordered the Smooth Sampler & The Sweet Sampler.

Then I ordered the Watermelon, RY4 & ( by mistake ) 2 packs of the Cowboy... I feel really anxious as to how I'm going to like the Cowboy... Because I have read very different opinions of it.

What is your take on those flavors?

Christ... I got the Flue Cured from Liberty Flights, because it's supposed to be a kind of sweet tobacco, and it got such great reviews... Christ, it is the worst liquid I have ever, ever vaped on... Guess that's why it's important not to listen to other people's reviews... Now I'm starting to worry about ordering 30 cartomizers from SI... Will I hate it?

Not necessarily, but as a lesson in my exp, just order small amounts at first, I've tested over one hundred and fifty juices thus far, and Love, or like only about 35.

What sounds good is not always is to YOUR liking. Learn to read the reviews..not just READ the reviews, but READ the reviews of those that like the same things that YOU like. Also check the classifieds so you can get better deals, if your outside of USA, ask.

To me, Cowboy tastes just like a Marlboro. I can't vape it. lol Makes me want a cig. I vape to not smoke. lol SI's RY4 is the absolute best!!!! sweet tobacco with a hint of caramel and vanilla. I love it! I was not impressed with the 555, Desert Joe or Freedom. They were to strong for me.

If you burned any Volt cartos, can you send them to me? I want to make a tasting carto. I'll pay the postage or trade for a carto I filled with a flavor you'd like to try. I figure I need more than one carto in case I mess it up till I figure out how to remove the stuffing without destroying the innards. Right now, all my cartos are good, so I don't want to destroy them.

(postage from IceLand to USA would be more than you buying a full set of new cartos from SI)

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure he does miss her more than anyone. That's a long time to live with someone and then them not be there anymore.

that's ultimately what he said too, though none of us kids knew how very much he loved her...Try not to keep your love for each other hidden from your children!

The vector thing isn't the problem, it's the dopey interface - sooo not user-friendly. Macromedia Freehand (Illustrator's competitor) was my favorite app until Adobe bought it out and discontinued it.

Over the years, none of them are real user friendly unless you have a TB hd, 16 gig ram, 6 gig GD etc. and 3 large monitors. Adobe ultimately bought out most everything (except painter (my fav), which was bought out by corel).

But I was always more freehand (painting, drawing) than the vector programs like Freehand, or illustrator allows. But I do still use illustrator for page layouts...

This is getting scary - one of my sealed auto batts has apparently died, along with my USB charger. On top of that, my PCC is acting weird - I have to play around with the tightness of the batt in the charger to get it to charge. Looks like I'm going to have to order a couple more chargers and batts. My wife is gonna KILL me... :ohmy:
