Got a starter kit and a pack of Red 8mg carts. Menthols included are fine and last long. But the Red 8mg, while not running out of juice, start tasting like burnt poison - any clue what's going on? There's still plenty of vapor inside, but on my third Red cart while the first free menthol cart included (which I've used primarily) is still going strong.

Is this a common problem or is the Reds just do that after a while?

I don't know if its common with that flavor or not, but you might check to see if there are any little threads of the filler material sticking up and making contact with the atomizer coil. Perhaps a thread or two have actually stuck to the coil, this can create a burnt taste. Get a magnifying glass and some tweezers and check it out.

I thought cig2o was a 2 piece and used cartomizers? In fact I think it is a KR808D-1. Buy better cartos. Buy Vapor4Life ones or Smoketip ones. and learn to add juice to your cartos (thougyh since you probably have automatic batteries which are easily damaged by carto leaks, I recommend you but a spare manual battery which would be less easily damaged)

What dormouse said. Cig2O was my first kit and I had to move away from it very quickly because I couldn't get much use from the cartos. Most of them singe very quickly and have to be tossed. I highly recommend moving to a better kit as soon as possible. If you do add juice to a carto for use with an automatic battery, make sure the last step you do is hold a tissue at the threaded end and give a couple of gentle puffs down the carto to make sure there is no juice in the center hole. My $.02. :vapor:

Try dripping..carts prefilled are hit and miss.

Thanks all

Got refill juice from yourecigarette.com

works, but the cig2o is going through them faster than the prefilled carts it seems. says 4-6 drops per cart but they last 1/3 as long give or take. Is Cig2o just an inefficient burner? Or can the carts be filled only so many times?

Aren't Cig2o carts proprietary?


nope. any pre-filled or blanks from vapor4life.com will work on them.

i just bought a cig2o today as a matter of fact. a local tobacco shop had them (1 battery, 2 cartos and a usb charger for $14. not bad). i use a KR808 and the cig2o works on all of that equipment. so any vendors you come across that sell KR808 equipment, it will work with the cig2o.

Got Vap 4 Life cartridiges and some juice. Just one thing, got tobacco flavored juice - mostly flavorless, but has a hint of burning plastic smell and subtle taste to it. Produces vapor and it's not the burning flavor you get from an empty cart, but with filled ones. Accumulates until I can't continue - with a plastic aftertaste building up and scratchy throat. No clue what's wrong.
