im debating getting a vapor king.
the idea of the bigger carts appeal to me.
i am currently using a sidesho from modernvapor.
i really like everything about it but the carts only hold about 5-7 drops and from the videos ive seen, your cartomizers hold 15+
which, for me, should mean 1 cart will last all day plus some.

the couple questions i have are these...

im looking at getting the 'mini pcc kit'.
it appears to have all i need to get going.
how long does this battery last?

how long exactly is this combo (with cartomizer attached)
i do enjoy the smaller sized cigs.

how many times can you refill a cartomizer?
can you successfully change flavors in the same cart? or do you need to purchase separate carts for each flavor.
and if you have to have separate carts, do the blank carts vape/refill/function just as easily as the prefilled?
(ive noticed my sidesho blanks dont work as well as refilling my prefilled)

sorry for lots of questions..
thanks!

When I refill a used carto, I generally get 25-30 drops in. A blank carto will hold at least 30 drops. I use the spin trick to get that much in.

That's a tough question to answer because we're all different. The PCC has its own built-in battery that will charge 3-5 dead batteries. If you put the battery in to recharge when you're not vaping, you could probably run a couple of days.

how long exactly is this combo (with cartomizer attached)

The battery w/carto is roughly 4" long.

how many times can you refill a cartomizer?

Until it dies. That can be anywhere from 5 to 20+ times.

can you successfully change flavors in the same cart? or do you need to purchase separate carts for each flavor.

Separate cartos for each flavor makes it easier, but you can rinse the old flavor out with hot water. Might not work with some of the stronger flavors, like menthol.

and if you have to have separate carts, do the blank carts vape/refill/function just as easily as the prefilled?

The blank cartos are exactly the same as the pre-filled ones.

No problem. Welcome!

thank you for the answers!
sounds like all good stuff to hear.
how many times would you say you get to refill a cart before it goes 'bad' ?

That is very variable...I have had a couple die within an hour but its rare. But I am still refilling one I received with my original order...that one I have filled countless times. On the average...for me I have been able to refill at least 10 times before it burns out.

If you use a passthrough it may burn out faster because you are running more current through the element. The key to a long lasting carto is to keep topping them off...never let them get dry. I rotate between 6 cartos and top them off every few days.

so essentially... if i only used the same flavor.. and i topped off every nite, i could effectively use the 2 carts that came w/ the starter kit for months ?

No...they will burn out eventually. Some last much longer than others depending..... as I tried to explain to you in my previous post. If they didn't burn out then it would be possible.....but it would be a miracle if 2 cartos lasted that long. Since I started vaping I have burned up around 25 carto's. But 10 of them were blanks I received from another vendor and they are not that great. And I vape all day long..there are too many variables to pinpoint how long a carto will last.

so best to buy 5 or 10 more and rotate then...

Exactly...to start with that should last you awhile until you can get some more :D And don't worry about mixing flavors in cartos...a carto can be rinsed out and refilled but I don't bother. What I do is mix a flavor that should taste good with the fluid the carto was filled with...like coffee and cappuccino...chocolate and vanilla. Hope this helps.
