Compatible Cartomizers?

[Captain Mal]

Apologies if this has already been answered here, I can't seem to find it.

My current PV is a Blackjack mini from 21CenturySmoking.com. I've had success re-filling the cartomizers for the first time, and am looking forward to buying an assortment of different juices, but I want to buy some empty (blank? unfilled?) cartomizers. 21CenturySmoking doesn't sell them.

Are cartomizers cross-compatible? From what I can see online, the unit I have appears very similar to the Vapor King, but I don't know if the battery threads are exactly the same. Has anyone compiled a list of compatible parts across various models?

Help?

I hope this doesn't sound too disappointing and/or mean, I'm just trying to help:

I think you bought a subpar, overpriced e-cig. IMHO, if I were you, I'd write it off as a learning experience, thank them for opening the door for you to realize that this e-cig thing can really work and then go get yourself a better PV with more options and cheaper accessories.

No, all cartomizers are not compatible and even if the PVs are the same size, they might not be interchangeable. Although, I don't have the info, I would highly doubt this model is interchangeable with vapor king parts.

You should go for the vapor king if that's the kind of system that's been working for you, just make sure you buy from one of the ECF recommended vendors 'cause they're tried and true.

Good Luck!

Thanks, Rosa. Your response is neither disappointing nor mean, as I'd already come to the same conclusion. I bought my model from a kiosk in the mall because (a) it was right up the street from me, and (b) I knew absolutely nothing about PVs except that they existed.

After I purchased my model and discovered the joy of vaping, I started doing some reading online and eventually found my way here. It didn't take long to figure out that I had paid far too much.

I will say, in the company's defense, that I have no complaints about the unit itself. It works as advertised, and got me off analogs immediately, so for that I'm grateful. The only complaints I have are that the people manning their kiosk in the mall have zero product knowledge, and they maintain a very poor inventory.

And now, of course, there's the blank cartomizer problem.

I think my next move will be the Vapor King Ultimate Ultimatum Manual Starter Kit from Vapor4Life. Although I've never tried a 3-piece PV, I really like the ease and convenience of the 2-piece.

Thanks again, Rosa.

Thanks for the kind words.
