Help on cartomizers

[NationsMostWanted]

I started using the Joye Ego for a few weeks and i love it. I accidently overfilled one 510 cartomizer and now it sucks fluid into my mouth when I inhale? how do i fix this or do i just throw it away?

also another one of my 510 cartomizer ever since i refilled it, when i inhale it doesnt taste good it has a burning taste and the vapor burns my throat? is that a messed up one?

For the overfilled carto....just 'blow' out on the excess juice....I have done this myself. The burnt taste may be that you have not let the juice absorb or are vaping to fast for it it wick...or....you vaped it dry and now the filler is burnt. I too have had the same problems.

There's not too much u can do with the burnt taste, but, with the overfill, u should just be fine as long as you remove/blow out excess juice. HTH

This is a burned carto. I have had this happen a few times. The problem is, once you burn it, it has a harder time wicking juice so it continues to taste burnt even when full. I have a few like that that I am attempting to clean right now. They will be dry in a few days so I will see what happens then.

so when i do a refill cartomizer? do they not last as long as when i first bought them filled? i filled one up last night and its already starting to get weak?

That one needs to be thrown out. Sounds like the filler was burned. The first fill on a carto, usually will absorb more then subsequent refills. You'll know when to refill, when the vapor seems to lessen and the flavor isn't as strong. I like to make sure to refill even BEFORE the carto gets to that point to avoid burning it. For me to tell you when that is, wouldn't make a difference, as everyone's vaping habits are different.

ETA: On the one you overfilled just blown the excess out into a tissue, make sure to wipe the threads off before connecting it to the batt.

I re-fill cartomizers when they are not giving out enough vaper to satisfy; and when they do not give enough or as good a quality of vapor as I like upon re-filling I throw them out. Cartomizers are made to be disposable.

and no - they do not last as long even after a single re-filling when they were new - and - if they just don't stop working they will get worse and worse and the old liquid mixing with the new.

Some people wash them out and give them a bit more life - but they will never be as good as new; and I have stop even attempting it.

When I overfill - besides blowing a bit out - i also blot the top of the filling with a q-tip to help mop up excess.

i think after im done with my prefilled and eliquid...i might just switch to regular filled cartomizers each time. i like how they last me like 3 days per cartomizer
