I completely HATE my new carts! They taste like nothing! I wish I could say they taste bad but they absolutely taste like nothing and the vapor is nonexsistent. I ordered from a new company that I read about here and I hate them! They have totally turned me off. I thought I would be so excited with my new flavors (although there is no flavor.) but I am so depressed about it. I guess you live and you learn. I will never order these again!

You need to buy some juice and refill those babies! I have never found a prefilled cart that could deliver the flavor of some freshly made juice. I really like gourmetvapor.com. It may take a day or two extra for your order to ship out, but you can custom blend all your juices. I have never received a bad juice from them.

I've heard too much negative feedback on prefilled and only buy blank carts and fill them myself. I've also found from reading that if you dont purge the atty of the packing juice/oils they pack them with, your atty's will either fail after a bit or may work but still have a foul taste.

I clean my new atty's with Isopropyl Alcohol aka Isopropanol (91% from walmart). Also learned to do a dry burn to flush out any remaining cleaner and then reprime with 1-3 drops of my own juice pending on the atty and let set for a few minutes before vaping. I then fill the cart (while letting the atty reprime) until it pools then dab off any excess from the cart filler.

You want flavor? Here are some juices I vape that have tons of flavor.

You may have taste buds like mine. I find I have to request double flavor when I order mine.



Tasty Vapor Atomic Cinnacide
Backwoods Brew Caramel Cappucino
Kick Bass Vapor - OMG-
FSUSA Wyatt Earp - This one is more on the side of tobacco, but there are other complex flavors in it. Not my favorite, but I can say big flavor

All the companies above I have had good experiences with.
I usually drip on my atty directly, but there is no reason for you to not be getting vape or flavor. I have found that the ones that come with the 510 kits are fair, but nothing like the freshly made juices mentioned above

Did you buy blanks/empties? Did you look to see how much juice they have in them?

I bought Coffee and Menthol at 16 mg. The ones I started with were 11mg (I always smoked lights) So when I tried 11mg I was satisifed. I couldn't remember what I ordered from the first company and was too lazy to look so I accidently got 16 mg but I was okay with that. Figured I would use those to kick start my morning or when I was REALLY needing a smoke.

I even came here and researched what cart companies were popular because I don't want to vape anything all crazy from sources I am unsure about. Let me tell ya, this is the WORST!

Since I am new I don't know anything about refilling carts but I guess I am about to learn fairly quickly. :) I did not contact the company because I thought they would just send me some more carts that tasted nasty. Do you all think I should contact them?

I'm new too but cheap. lol. I have to refill my carts all the time. A pre-filled cart will last me about the equivalent of one cig and only one flavor, Mboro, from esmoker tasted good and none of them were as good as quality juice. Plus a 15ml bottle is about the same price as a pack of carts and will go a lot farther.

I'll probably be using a carto soon but so far I'm happy with filling my carts.

I'm actually with Skorne on this one. When I first got my 510 I was using an atty/cart set up. Then I got tired of the flavor not being that great and vapor production was never consistent. So then I did some reading and did the PTB Straw mod... that helped a little bit, but I'm pretty much a chain-vaper so I had to refill the dang things like every 10-15 minutes. That got old really fast.

Then a vendor we ordered some blank carts from sent us cartos instead by accident. I'll never use atty/carts again. The difference is just night and day. The flavor is "cleaner", the vapor is consistent right up until it needs to be refilled - and I only have to refill it like every couple hours. Refilling the carto is totally EASY, as all I do is just drip right into the small hole at the bottom (threaded end). I don't mess around with syringes and all that - I just drip into the hole.

I'm still not sure if you are using carts (plastic and stuffing) or cartos which screw onto the battery.

If prefilled carts, most places just use the Chinese PG juices in prefilled carts. Get unfilled ones and find some juices you like.

If cartos, Vapor4Life has cartos for KR808D-1 but they have 2 different kinds. One kind is hotter (too hot for me) and the Coolcarts are cooler (I like those) but it can be hard to tell which prefills are in which. They have lots of flavor. The other model that commonly uses cartos is RN4081 which I think is the basis for many of the rebranded "duo" models. Not sure who has filled cartos for that.
