Do you think Pre-filled Cartos are cost-effective??

[Youmadbrah]

My mom liked both of Virgin Vapor and V4L pre-filled cartos . Both were around $8-9 per 5 cartos.

Myfreedomsmoke sells 1 carto for $0.9 ! So why the hassle with tanks and cartomizers..etc, ?? I am thinking for a big order for these cartos. What do u guys think ??

For me, using pre-filled cartos cost about the same per day as buying a pack of cigarettes. So I wasn't really saving money. But I know that the $5.40 per day I was spending on smokes is a lot less than a lot of people pay, so ymmv.

Wow ? How many carts do u consume? My mom used to smoke 2 packs a day! And she consumes max 3 cartos??

Pre-filled cartos aren't expensive if you refill them when they're empty, if you don't refill them than yes, they are very expensive.

Well, 8 or 9 bucks for 5 cartos is not much more than buying the empty ones. But if you refill them, you can re-use them for several days, maybe even a couple of weeks. juice is around 50 cents a ml, so that would be $1.50 for 3 cartos a day versus the $5.00 a day for 3 prefilled cartos.

Granted, that's still cheaper than smoking 2 pad cigs.

So the difference money wise, is about $150 a month for prefilled and about $60 for filling yourself.

The advantage of using prefilled, is that you get a new cartomizer each time, and you don't have the (small) hassle of actually refilling them. Just pop one on and go.

The advantage of refilling is that you have a vast, almost limitless variety of flavors to choose. And, of course, it's cheaper.

If those are prefilled cartos at Myfreedomsmoke, I wouldn't order a huge supply until you or your Mom has tried them. Prefilled cartos are not known for having the best tasting juice.

Why not just buy a fifteen pack of empty cartos fro Crystal Clear Vaping or Spring vapors and just fill them with the V4L juices she likes? I never bought into the whole "pre-filled carts" since the the one I tried was really awful and there are some truly great juices out there. You won't know that until you try some of those great juices!

I buy prefilled V4L cartos and matching juices.I vape and refill so it works out well for me. I like having prefilled so I can just pop one on and vape if Im in a rush.Just easier.

I do the same thing as Keyz with my volts. I buy the prefilled and matching juice. I can get a good week out of each carto doing it that way

For some reason, I always liked a nice fresh pre-filled carto (assuming I found one in an agreeable flavor). Not sure why, it's like having something shiny and new I guess. But, considering you can fill a carto up multiple times, pre-filleds have a pretty high price to performance ratio.

The convenience can't be beat, but re-filling is way more cost effective. Plus, I've really gotten to love cartomizer tanks lately.

If you like the flavor of the prefills, go for it. But top/off refill and you'll save a boatload of $

Buying prefilled cartomizers is something i have never done but im not opposed to it if they were cheaper. One plus would be that the second fill soaks in easier in the stuffing. (and thats about the only + i see regarding prefilled cartos.)

I dont understand anyone who keeps buying prefilled cartos and throws them away after they go empty.
thats like having a fully charged battery and when it dies you order a new one and throw the dead one away. Sure it works, but its a waste of money.

Cartomizers are made to be refilled few times (amount of refills depends on juice, largely.)
