How to tell when a cartomizer needs refilling?

[Mr. Blue Dot]

I'm still trying to figure out how to tell when my carts need a refill. A little bit ago I was mindlessly puffing away on one of my G6s when I got an awful burnt taste in my mouth. I figured I could just refill it, but the burnt taste was still there after putting in .75ml of juice in and letting it sit for about an hour. I haven't thrown that cartomizer away yet, it's set aside for the moment, but something tells me there is probably no way to save it now. How do I know when to refill these things before it gets to the point where it's getting burnt?

Also, does anyone know of a place to get different colored end caps for my carts so I can tell the flavors apart before I vape them? I've been seeing a lot of tips for sale all over the place, but I'm trying to keep my G6 looking cigarette-like, so I would prefer just different colored end caps instead.

When the flavor starts to drop off, top off the carto. If you go beyond that, you get what you've already experienced, gawd aweful burnt taste. One other indication, if you're paying attention to your "clouds", is a lack of vapor but generally you'll notice a flavor depletion first.

So pay more attention basically, lol. I'll certainly be tasting for that drop in flavor now, I can't imagine smoking the sponge/filter inside the cart is to healthy for you. Thanks for the tip

The G6's as in Halo's G6 right? If that is the case then these should work.

I use the volt myself and it's the same size as the Halo G6. (KR808)

As for the carto, Hairball has you covered.

lol that sounded just wrong.

burnt taste is the main indicator that you need to refill /and soak in/.

majority view here is that you can get many uses out of each carto .. esp high quality cartos kept wet. my experience has been different. i tried a range of cartos and couldn't keep them clean & consistent for more than a few cycles. so i say cartos are disposable.

i'm much happier with the ce2 smokeymizer/fluxomizer. but only the regular size 510 thread. they don't leak. easy to clean and inspect. i can switch parts easily. and see when i'm running low.

vaping is a very personal, subjective experience. recommend you try as many of the different techs out there as possible.

You're welcome. Also, if you forget and get that burnt taste again, toss the cartomizer. You won't get that burnt taste out of it no matter what you do to it.

Thanks! That is exactly what I'm looking for. I was about to just start buying different colored carts but I really like the look of black cartos on my steel batteries. Half the reason I bought my kit in the first place was because it looked cool haha. And yeah, it's a Halo G6.

You could just top it up with a couple of drops every couple of hours.

At first I couldnt tell either. Now, like others said, as soon as the flavor drops off or there is less vapor I put 2 or 3 drops in. I love a real juicy cartomizer and a newly charged battery <------- the best! If you taste a burnt flavor just chuck it, its done.

vape on

Happy to help

I have hopless taste buds from smoking for way too many years. I couldnt tell how the carto was going till I had ruined it so I just change or refil probably well before required. It saves me destroying cartos until my taste buds hopefully recover.
It is also a good reason to consider using clearomizers.

Cheers

...yep, like the others said, flavor drops off, vapor production drops off...or when you get a kinda dry, cottony taste...I like to keep my cartos pretty wet(LR Resurrectors and Boges)...to that end, every hour rSo, I add 10-15 drops and vape on.............

They should invent a moisture device led that tells you when the juice is getting low. Just a scientific thought
