I use blanks myself, so I can't compare but beer does taste better from the source..lol
By hand.... *Cringes*
Just curious as to whether or not the machined process would yield more quality control?
On a side note, either way I wonder how many "Needles sticks" they see in a year!

I think it is the opposite I think it's because the cart has sat longer before it was vaped. Think about it the cart is filled and placed in a box and shipped, giving it time to fully saturate the whole cart while it's being moved all around.
When we fill a cartomizer I bet it is vaped within days if not hours/minutes of it being made and isn't being moved around at all. I think more time along with agitation would allow more complete saturation of the batting inside.
Anybody cure their cartomizers and revolve them like wine bottles?

Personally, I've never noticed a difference in flavor between prefilled, refilled, and home filled. Unless the juice was different, of course.
But as others have said, the factories fill by hand using a syringe. A couple of factories I've visited did use an injection machine, but that was for 3-piece model's cartridges, not for cartomizers. One factory told me they were working on an injection machine for cartomizers, but I haven't seen it yet.
SR219 and Rockalot have some good thoughts on the matter. Who knows who's right, though.

if i let my cart dry completely, or use a blank cart, they taste the same. but... i fill by syringe.
I saw on tv tonight that hourly rate in China cost the MFG 80cents an hour
and in the USA its over 29 dollars...Wow, how's that

I originally thought the same thing, that's why I let them sit sealed for a month. I was figuring from time of fill at the factory until I get my hands on them is close to a month. I tested 2 of them.
But I now think there is no real way to find out. It is what it is.
I've tried so many refill approaches and I never come close to the taste of prefills. I am puzzle at those you get similar result as prefilled. The only thing I haven't tried is seringes.
I just bought a dozen bottles from v4l and blanks and I am just not vaping them.

tbh, it did take me a while to 'get' refilling. i still don't know what precisely i was doing 'wrong' in the beginning. i think a big part of it was overfilling, and being able to measure accurately with a syringe was probably the reason that worked so much better for me from the start.
Ok so now you got me thinking and wondering, how much is to much or to little? From what I heard the new Cartos come with 1ml of juice in them, and the old cartos come with .8ml I think Leaford mentioned this on his Video blog.
I fill by syringe also - only way i can somewhat accurately measure 1ml
my refills are actually the same if not better than pre-filled. that's because i diy my juice. i control the flavor and vapor
Just a suggestion. Maybe the factory carts have more flavoring in the ejuice. To attract more prefilled cart customers. Or perhaps the juice we get have more filler, ie vg or pg ?
nope--cart juice and bottle juice are the same.
i refill with non-v4l juices quite a bit, so having a good refill method is important to me too, sc0ut.
