"I have a pack of 5 510 cartos with the removable end plug and ordered whole bunch of the hard end (that don't come off) on sale at Litecig.
I have noticed with the removable plugs I am geting a kinda "plastic" taste that I don't get with the hard cap cartos. I thought my atomic cinnacide was turning flavors on me ,which made me stop vaping it. I loaded one up today with Halo menthol ice, same bad plasticy taste. I just vaped the Halo (via dripping to try it) so I know its not the juice. Anyone experience this or is it just me? Thanks!:confused: "



This a thread I started in the General discussion section. 82 Views, 1 reply.:blush:
I'm really just wanting to know- Did I get a bad batch? Does anyone else taste this?
Sorry, not trying to hijack. Just figured with all the experience with cartos here someone might be able to give some input!

I have noticed that the first few vapes off a freshly filled blank carto might taste a bit off. Seems like it takes a few puffs to get the atty going at full bore.

Mesa, AZ...off the analogs for years!
My :2c:

On the 808's, you have to keep them wet. The minute you start getting an off taste, stop vaping it and fill it up again.

Some seem to last longer than others and it has nothing to do with brands in my experience. The batting seems to get matted down or there wasn't quite enough of it to start with. I've not found a good way to plump it up. I've tried "picking" at it with needles, toothpicks, etc. and it just seems to tear it apart and then you get those little fiber hairs sticking out.

When it gets matted like that, it doesn't absorb very well. Washing doesn't help either. That's when I just toss the thing.

I love the concept of the 510 carto, but refilling them is a PITA (just leaks thru, maybe I'm doing it wrong), and the 808 I've not been able to find one that doesn't burn up in 2-3 refills or less :(


Blaze, I'm getting 40 drops in the blanks with no leaking at all. 30 drops, condom method, white end first...cap both ends, drop it threaded end down in a bag and spin it...10 more drops condom method, white end first, cap both ends and spin it again. On a refill I just do 25 drops and spin. Don't know if that will help, but thought I'd share. :)
