have to ask ...I wanted to know in my kit Mega EGO 1000 Complete Kit with Case and TWO Mega Atomizers my filters..in the cap has like cotton in it..The first time I don't think I put all that much in it thinking I might over fill it being a newb and all right so is it okies to like fill it again and reuse it like one more time? Or do I have to trash it? And can I reuse these things more then once or do THEY really have to be trashed every time they are used to empty?...The 2nd one I did, I mess up on so I refilled it cause I know I didn't fill it all the way. I should have made sure but didn't >.<...... Thanks guys :blush:

The carts can be refilled with the same liquid. Mark each one if you're using different liquids so that you don't mix them.

They can be washed out also. Remove the filler and rinse under hot water. Blot between a couple paper towels. Poke the filler back into the plastic piece and refill. Remember to rinse the plastic cart out also if you're changing flavors.

No doubt you're going to hear about cartomizers that combine both the cartridge and atomizer into one thing.I prefer cartomizers and tank systems to attys and cartridges. I had a run in once with the filler falling down on the atty and burning while i was trying to vape. BLEH! ...but that's not your question. Yes you can refill the cartridge multiple times, i'd suggest using like flavors in each one and not trying say a fruit and tobacco in the same cartridge unless you're curious what they'd taste like combined lol. The part that will degrade the most is your atomizer. I suggest routine cleaning of it and cleaning it inbetween flavors (Hold the atty in a napkin thread side down and blow out the liquid until you get little or none comming through on the napkin). Not only that but AFTER you clean it you want to make sure to "prime" it with a few drops of whatever flavor you're going to use. Letting an atty burn dry will cause it to degrade faster.

As for the cartridges themselves as mentioned above a simple rinsethrough and drying will get most of the liquid out of the filler.

You can use them over and over. You can even buy new filler and restuff them. You can rinse them out; pull out the filler, run the cartridge under hot water, and pat it dry. I have washed the filler out and dried it on a paper towel when I wanted to switch flavors. After a while, it seems they fit more loosely onto the atomizer but I never noticed a decline in performance.

Also clean the atomizer or it'll taste like the old juice.

If you're having trouble with the atomizers and cartridges, you can always purchase a box of cartomizers. That's the cartridge and atomizer in one.

Boge 2.0 or the 1.7 cartos would be good with your batteries. But the way your doing it is the best way until you settle on a juice you like. After that, try the cartomizer. They hold more and it's easier.

It's really hard to 'empty' any cartridge or carto. But it is easy to get a dry hit while there's still liquid in them. And cartos can be refilled, I do it every night and haven't killed one yet in the 2-3 weeks I've been at this. They do take lots of fluid to fill properly, especially the first time. Larger ones benefit from using a syringe, starting at the bottom and working your way up, often from 2-3 different point on the outside(between the filler and the metal tube).

For the first time I keep the condom on the bottom while using the syringe. When full I put the other condom on the top and let them sit overnight. In the morning pull off the condoms, wipe off the outside and blow through them from the battery end into a napkin to get rid of any extra juice. After that it's just drops in the top until the filler looks really wet.

We're so good at spending other people's money! I'd pick up a box or two of cartomizers. You won't have leak issues and they hold a lot of juice if you travel or can't top off the carts frequently.

If you want to purchase from SmokeTek, I'd pick up a box of boge 2.0 cartomizers. They are disposable, but depending on your juice you can get several refills with them. They can last anywhere from 3 days to two weeks.

I purchased the cleaning kit from SmokTek and it does a pretty good job. I use PG juice mostly and don't really vape a lot of different juices so my cartos last pretty long. If I get a week out of 1 carto, it's probably about 1.25 a week. I'm worth it! :laugh:

I've washed some and have used them again, but you can't really beat a nice fresh carto!

Was anyone ever able to determine what kind of battery that was? Like a KR808, or something like that? If you can figure that part out you can probably order some cartridges for it. Sorry I can't help with that, I'm not an expert on batteries like some people here are. I wonder if they'd tell you if you asked them?
