I killed my first Carto!

[Taryn]

One week since my first order arrived! I've been refilling and alternating between two delicious pineapple cartos when one of them started tasting like melting plastic (no burnt marshmallow taste to it like I've heard everyone talk about) it hadn't been vaped dry ever. I top them out when they are about half full yet and switch the the waiting filled carto. I tried more juice and it was fine for a couple hits before the yuck taste came back.

I'm quite impressed with the amount of refill time and quality I got from that delicious little carto! So glad I started off with the best! V4L!!!

Sounds like you got the hang of it, I'm still working on perfecting according to vaping style.

15? Wow! Sounds like that's the one carto to rule them all.

Wow! You guys are good! I must suck at refilling! When I do it I get about half an hour or so until it tastes burnt again!! I've watched all the videos but I guess I'm just not getting the hang of it. Like a lot of other people the draw gets a lot harder too. I guess more practice is needed!

We have had really good luck, too. I intended to keep close track but it was too confusing and my cartos looked stupid with all those little tick marks on them.

Anyway, we have refilled numerous times and only a few have crapped out completely. If anyone is really throwing them away after one use, please just throw them in a box instead and ship them to me!

I'm with you maroon, after refilling I use them only on PT as they don't produce vapor on the battery. I've watched all the video's and tried refilling as suggested. I always refill early and often as well.

I have refilled quite a few times, i find the key to keeping your carts fresh is the method and knowing when you are close (flavor runs out popcorn taste,etc.) to needing a refill... most of the time i pop the cap off to see how much i have left and determine if my batting is dry and/or moist....

I have noticed, some caarts go longer than others. And oddly, my apple and coffee rifills go WAY longer than my menthol juice. Odd.

I am getting tired of the refilling thing tho, it is alot of work. I only refill when I am chillin at home. When a cart goes bad, I just drip more in there. Otherwise fresh carts are where its at baby.

I have only refilled the coffee cart without washing and drying.Just keep refilling when it gets dry.I know I jinxed it and now it will die.Darn it!!!!

I only vape them about half ways down then refill, so I've only tasted burned on that one that died. Then I let them sit until my second cart needs a refill and switch. It's easy for me to do that as I work from home, only takes less than a minute a day in refilling time. I always make sure the atty is centered every refill. I even open brand new cartos and check the centering before my first use.

Never had an issue with the draw being difficult, no loss of vapor production or taste.

Same with my grape except I top off all my cartos every few days..I am rotating between 6. Hope we don't jinx these...it will be interesting to see whose lasts the longest..lol....your coffee or my grape.

Cartos can be temperamental, I had a brand new pineapple die within a couple of hours...it was a freebie from Steve. I actually felt bad about it..lol. But sometimes no matter what we do a carto will burn out. I am very happy and surprised with how long the good ones last. At least 90% of the ones I have received have way more than paid for themselves and have also paid for the ones that didn't last very long.
