I just use one cause I don't use but one flavor right now(carry 3ml bottle). I just put a few drops on top every once n awhile, seems to save me on liquid. I have been on the same 33ml for 3 weeks. I really hope my refills come in tomorrow as I am bout tapped out. I gave up on refilling because it just seemed to leak out.

Wildcard that is plenty to get you started when you find out what nicotine strength and flavors you like then it's time to stock up!

jaded you aren't talking about KR8 cartomizers from V4L like the rest of us are you?
Oh No woops my bad lol I was just looking at today post and didn't even think to look at the forum title, sorry still new here:p

as far as refills that *i* do, with juice, i always keep six to ten at a time. i refill and do the taryn-spin 2 at a time, and i just stockpile empties until i have six to ten, and refill them, and reuse them until they've met their end.

now and again i'll dip into a fresh one before the death of a re-used cart, because even when i refill, they just don't always taste/vape as good as a fresh one!

Aw Dale! Too bad we don't live closer..we could all come over for a refilling party! WE need to do that with Jen Jen too! Maybe that's where she has been...refilling cartos!:p

i have to keep tons refilled, cause my hubs doesn't refill period... he'll pretty much only vape if he can just grab a carto and toss it in the jar when it's done. so i do however many i feel like in big batches ~1/week.

i have a few carts i use on my PT & top off throughout the day while vaping/working, just a few drips--easy cause i work at home on the comp. but for actual refills, i only seem to get new-cart performance when i wash them and let them dry. but it's really new cart performance, which makes it worth it. i am kinda obsessive about getting them clean though. :D

i've definitely noticed since i stopped being nervous about the rinse-out, they do vape better with refillings. i might try letting them air-dry out a little longer before refilling next time, though, to get that 'really new cart' performance, which is what makes me still inclined to buy carts rather than refill, which is more expensive and not practical for me right now.

I usually only keep 5 filled. It was a complete disaster when I first started vaping because I would have too many all over the place. I vape 2 during the day usually, refill them at night and use 2 or 3 of the other ones for the next day. That way I don't mix up flavors too much and use those 5 til they're completely out of commission, toss them then start new ones. It seems I can use about 20-30ml of fluid through one cart before tossing if that info help at all.

I've been trying to keep to a routine of filling on the weekend ... around 20-30 carts. Been trying a lot of different flavors and have some that have been full for a while sitting in my bullet tray (carto storage keeper). I tried to wash a bunch out this weekend and refilled. Like the performance a lot better then refilling unclean cartos.

this is what i'm shooting for, because i definitely start to feel insane and 'aghrth38t3!!' when i have too many carts rotating around. so right now i'm kind of re-using the same six over and over until i can't. when i really have an itch for an 'mmmmm fresh cart!' taste, i'll pull a new one, and then rotate the most-used cart out. some of them, the label's begun to come off with rinsing, or even when refilled they begin to run out, etc. so i feel 'okay' about tossing those. i still have 8 or 9 boxes of fresh carts in line and waiting (i fit 6 into my boxes, though, they come shipped with only five inside) so i have plenty to try and work this method with.

oh, well, we texted on this already but for others--i throw the carts (okay, i PLACE them) in a big mug or a bowl, and then i pour just off boiling water over them and let 'em sit a min or two. then blow 'em out, then rinse (sometimes if they're really being stubborn, i'll set them in a bowl of water and suck water through them with the syringe--ry4 seems determined to gum up in there), then i dry overnight. well, i dry until dry, but because i do a bunch at once, i just tend to leave 'em overnight and refill later.

again, i know i am probably way too meticulous, but since i started doing this i have had perfect performance from refills, at least ones i didn't like, actually break, lol.
