Hey all. Making an appearance again.

Seems like it's been every day that I've had some kind of question to ask all of you but your suggestions are great and so helpful.

Anyway, so my question is- how do you know when the juice you have is low and the e-cig needs to be refilled? Is there some indication?

The juice that I received with my kit has a taste similar to Marlboro 27's, which I always described as tasting like a freshly burning leaves (well, sounds weird, but you know the smell of burning leaves? instead of SMELLING it, I can taste that very same thing- so it is the same, just a different one of the 6 senses dealing with the sensation, if that makes any sense).

Anyway, so since it does taste like burning, it's kind of hard for me to tell whether it a) needs a refill and is burning the coil or b) is part of the juice's awesome flavor.

Sorry if this was confusing, I tried the best I could to explain it all.

Are you using cartomizers? If so, there shouldn't be any doubt when you've reached the *scorched the filler* stage. It's a pretty nasty taste and you won't be able to get rid of it by refilling or topping off. Kinda like burnt plastic...

Atomizers will also give a dry, burnt taste (almost metallic) that sticks in the back of your throat. Believe me, you'll know when you need to top it off.

I hope that helps answer your question.

Yeah ya have to be a bit more specific as to what your hitting, a cart?..or atty? or a prefilled cart?..If it taste like crap..its headed to the crap can here...carts are cheap for a reason...cartridges are even cheaper for a reason too...keep a good supply on hand.

It's a cartomizer. One of those refillable ones but it was not pre-filled when I got it.

Whenever the vapor or taste lessens at all top it off with more juice. Keeping a
carto or atty damp (not soaking wet) makes for happy vaping.

Stosh hit the nail on the head...I went by lessening of the the vapor when I first started and was using carts.

I have since switched to clearos (clearomizers) and the thought of going back to 'Ok do I need to add more now?' just turns me off.

When in doubt, add a couple drops of juice. If you use a drip tip with your cartomizer, it's easy to pop off the drip tip and you can tell by looking at it.

Every time the smoke or flavor starts to dissipate just add a couple of drops. That's the nice thing about e juice it gives yo the flexibility to control the vape hit if you find it weak ad a drop etc. Also never let the liquid pool up in the cartridge when direct dripping as the excess liquid will flood the atty and eventually kill it.
