Hello

as far as ive seen, v4l is the only place that has kr8 sampler packs, is that right?

So for my second order, i was thinkin about getting all the sampler packs except the two tobacco cuz i tried them and two menthols packs cuz i dont really care for menthol. that makes 9 sampler packs: 5 wow and 4 premium cool carts of fruits, desserts, cocktails, coffee, etc...

with that (45 carts) plus my first order (15 carts) ill have 60 once used cartomizers. so...

for my third order, which is jumpin ahead i know, im thinkin of just gettin juice to refill the one time used cartomizers based on the flavors that i like the best. so after my second order and having all those once used cartos, does it make sense to just get some of my favorite juices for my third order? im trying to be somewhat economical and practical since i dont have money to waste and im new at this. so for ease ill just make the questions listed

  1. Is V4L the only company that sells Kr8 sampler packs of prefilled cartomizers? if not, who else does (im curious to know)?
  2. Does ordering all the sampler packs for my second order a good idea and a good way to find out which flavors i like best?
  3. With all of the once used/one time used cartomizers that i will have accumulated from the first two orders (60), should i just try getting my favorite juices and refilling for my third order?
  4. How many drops to refill a dried cartomizer (ive heard around 20)? how many drops are in a 30ml bottle of juice?
  5. is it best to recap cartomizers when not using them with the plastic casing they come in?
sorry for so many questions, but instead of making 20 threads, i thought id just make one

thanks for reading

yes you should definately get more juice of the flavors you like to refill your once used cartos! lol I dont know about other sampler packs. Buying sampler packs is great! and ya around 20 drops would be good, but play by ear. watch some videos on it so you know what it should look like. and you dont have to recap cartos but if you arent gonna use them in a long while you should probably cover em up so the dont dry out.

hope that helped!

It sounds like you've got a pretty good game plan going to maximize your expeditures.

I suggest at least 3 batteries, one of which is manual if you are going to refill. Start vaping your refill on the manual battery & then switch it over to the automatic battery if that's your current preference. Put one or two batteries on the charger.

Sampler packs are an excellent choice. If you don't like something, just recap it and put it away - your taste is likely to change.

1. I have not seen any other company offer sample packs, but I'm not looking for them either.
2. Yes, sample packs are an excellent way to figure out what you like.
3. Yes, getting the juice to refill the carto flavors you liked is a good way to save on costs. You might want to get a pack of blanks too so you don't have just one carto in that flavor. If you burn the only one you have ...
4. It depends on your vaping style. I can usually drip a few drops in every hour or two when chain-vaping. If I'm going out or going to be busy I refill by the condom method or use prefilled cartos. An empty carto holds about 1 ml & a dried prefilled carto depends on how dry it is, which is why I'd rather drip in a few drops at a time & it never gets dry (close to burning the carto).
5. You can recap if you want to, but it's personal preference. When I refill a bunch at night I like to let them set out overnight or longer. If I'm putting them up I'll recap since unsure when they will be used.

Get a passthru too when you get the chance. It's handy to have in a pinch or to save your batteries for usage while on the go.

Don't know if you're just quitting cigarettes, but if you are you may want to pick up a pack of some higher nicotine content for when cravings hit.

All good advice from the above posters!
I would suggest that you decide what your favorite 3 flavors are and then order those juices. next order get a couple more and cartos to go with them. You do need 3 or 4 batts. you never know when one will go south. Manual batts are the best for refills..both will work just fine but you will need to refill, blow out the mouth end into a tissure after filling and lay your carto/battery on it's side between vapes.
