How often do you need to refill?

[Monster74]

I have a Riva 510 with carts and an atomizer, once you've filled it how often do you need to top off the cart during the day?

Thanks

Hiya Nats

Yonks since I used carts but from memory I topped up more or less the same time I used to light a real cig or 2

 

[Monster74]

Thanks Chrissie. Don't think I've been topping up enough. I've ordered some cartomizers and some drip tips hoping things will improve a little. X

Use cartomizers....WAY easier.....they also hold more e-juice when you refill them...

I vape a lot and fill 10 carts twice a day, about 10 drops each cart. The white polyfill does not hold much and "withhold" juice sometimes, so I use blue foam like this https://strictlyejuice.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67_49&products_id=222&zenid=pigbepq0jissetp1ivo0shk564. You can also get foam (Fluval) from pet store and cut yourself, tricky, cut twice as big as cart opening if you do. Or you can use cartos, either throw away or still have to refill them.

Edit: if you got prefilled carts with Riva, carts should have condom/caps. If you have carts with no condoms, you can't fill and leave open, will dry. Also, there needs to some filler in cart. Do not fill a cart with all juice, no filler, does not work that way.

Is there any advantage to having the atty/cart setup.

I didn't like the vape from the atty/carts that came with my eGo clone. So I was using clearos and now the EMDCC's. Only getting about 3mL on the initial fills (rated at "almost 5mL!"). I rotate 3 during the day and top off once before I go to bed - about 20 drops in each give or take.

Some people like the flavor better. Carts can be washed out and reused. It's a good way to try out juices. It may be a little cheaper of your attys hold out. Cartos can be refilled but they are disposable.

I'm not a cart/atty fan but there are people that prefer them. I'm a little too lazy.

I probably vape a little less than you (2ml a day or so) but I top off my EMDCC once a day.

A side note, but I've used the same EMDCC exclusively for 23 days now - but I vape a straight PG tobacco-flavored juice. Part of my daily ritual includes gently running a straighened paper clip up the center hole but the carto's still going strong

I have ordered cartomizers didn't realise till I got my kit that they might be better. It's a bank holiday here in the uk so won't get them till late next week. Just wanted to make the most of the setup I've got. Thanks for all your help

I use cartomizers with my REO's. Fill the bottle every 3 days usually. Just squonk to get the juice to the cartomizers! Nothing beats the 6ml bottle of my Grands and Woodvils!

Yes, some think so, I do...have not seen need to do something else yet. See my post #13 in this thread -

[zerominusone]

About three times a day, just to keep it wet.

 

[lasttango]

so often that I just found it easier and cleaner to drip...

Hi, I'm also new to vaping but it would appear that everyone would require different amounts of refills, same as analogues and appears to be dependant on what atties you are using. I've switched from chain smoking analogues to chain vaping using both 510-t ,ego-t and a leo. I have several different atties for 510-t and somedrink liquid whilst Joye atties don't seem to use same amount of juice. I'm sure some of the veterans on here will give you sound advice.

 

[scbelle1965]

I am using about 6-9 ml of eliquid a day. I used to chain smoke. Now I chain vape. I use a liquinator so that keeps the carto wet all the time. I never used carts for long even in the beginning cause I new that wouldn't hold enough liquid.

 

[dounebank]

Liquinator???? what is that and how does it work, where do i get one.
I use tanks, clearomiser and occasionally a cartomiser and probably use the same 6-9 mls a day

 

[Monster74]

6-9 mls a day. WOW I think I am clearly doing something wrong. Doubt I even use a ml a day. Maybe thats why it taste's so bad D'oh (homer simpson moment)

 

[dounebank]

ok I found a thread on liquinator
