Does no one use the prefilled cartomizers?

I get blank boge 510 cartos, 15 of em for 20 bux. Cheapest I found at crystal clear vaping. I don't think they have 808's or anything like that. I like em a lot, I keep a couple going at a time with different flavors and they have been lasting me at least 3 days each. I go thru more by losing them or giving away to friends. The boges have a very clean taste compared to others I've tried, which u could taste burning filler after a couple drags.

Keep in mind most cartos have the heating element towardss the battery end so when u top fill be sure to fill from one side of the filler (not the center airhole) first and let it soak a little bit to the bottom before doing the other side of the hole. If u create a big flood in the top it will just float there without a place for the air in the bottom to escape, especially with thicler juices. When that happens I hold it tight and flick it til I see air come up (like u do with a needle getting air bubbles out)

I used the Vapor4Life batteries and their pre-filled cartomizers. I'm still new and trying flavors, so buying the cartos is working fine for me until I figure out which ones I like enough to buy juice to refill them. I'm also not sure how much I want to get into juices...I need this to be really simple, and it doesn't get any simpler than screwing a battery and cartomizer together and puffing away.

Vapor4Life has lots and lots of different flavored pre-filled cartos, and they give a great throat hit with lots of vapor. When you're ready to move up, but still want the cigarette-like type, I'd recommend them highly. I've also read here that the SmokelessImage kits are great, too.

I highly recommend the SmokelessImage prefilled cartos over the V4L ones. Much, much better, IMO. The V4L ones seriously lacked flavor and produced minimal vapor for me. My two cents.

I use the Volt cartos, prefilled and filled are the same price so I like the idea of trying out a new flavor for no extra cost when I need more.

The only flavor I've had trouble with lingering at all after cleaning is menthol, and even it isn't that bad. I wouldn't buy a carto that wasn't a dual coil. I've been swapping out the same 10 for a month refilling and cleaning and haven't had one quit or have a bad taste yet. Buy quality, don't let them get dry, and clean after every 6 or 8 refills and there isn't any reason not to refill them.

I love Smokeless Image prefilled cartos. Excellent quality! I tried most of them and enjoyed them all.

V4L had some flavors I liked: Peach, Razzwow, Cafe Mocha, Grape, Peppermint, Butterscotch

I liked Bloog's Mint and RY4 prefilled.

I like the convenience of prefilled cartos. :)

    in a cave, eh?
    Well, with the Green Smoke system, which is a KR808D-2 (aka E9), your options are kind of limited. You might consider purchasing a KR808D-1 system and then look at getting blank cartomizers and filling them with your own e-juice purchased elsewhere.

    A reasonably-priced good KR808D-1 system to start with would be the Smokeless Image Volt.

    There are a few vendors that sell KR808D-1 -> KR89808 adapters, so you could try just getting blank cartomizers and juice for your current system. But, I'd recommend you consider getting the KR808D-1 kit to start with. I do realize though, that you probably spent a whole hunk of change on your current system.

    Feel free to ask questions about all of your options.

    Filling up cartos is NOTHING compared to running to the store, packing the cigs, LIGHTING THEM, ashing every couple of seconds, and then finding a place to safely dispose of the "....". Wayy more steps than charging a batt, filling a cart and enjoying

    Oh yeah, and emptying the ashtray, showering cuz u smell like an ashtray ;)

    Don't forget we're addictive personalities, it starts with pre-filled, then you top them off with pre-mixed juice, you search for the perfect flavor and find a few you like.

    They're not perfect, so you buy a few flavorings to tweak them with, and pretty soon you're doing full blown DIY juice, building mods and trying to build your own cartos........ :lol:

    Vaping is a gateway hobby...:facepalm:

    But it still beats the heck out of smoking !!!!
