Hi there guys,

I'm working with the blu premium 100s at the moment and was looking at buying a fair chunk of carts at once to save on postage to New Zealand.

I have heard that they don't keep. Is that true? Is it unwise to buy in bulk? If I do buy in bulk Would I be okay to keep the unused ones in a drawer or would refidgerating them extend their life span?

Same question goes with ejuice. I'm looking at for the future moving into refillable cartomizers, would I be best to keep the ejuice refridgerated for that too or does it not matter?

One last question with regards to the blank cartomizers.. how many times can you refill those before you need a new one, provided you're using the same flavour liquid? :)

Thanks a lot for your help.

I use 1.7ohm 44mm cartomizers and typically can get about a week out of one, with heavy use. I went through them faster when I was rotating two or three, because I would lose track of which ones were older, and end up tossing them all at the same time. Blanks/unfilled cartos shouldn't have a shelf life, they -should- be able to be loaded up in a year or ten and work fine...assuming that they weren't DOA.

E-Liquid is another story however, it does definitely have a shelf life. I think that the general consensus around here is a year, since that's the shelf life on PG/VG.

I'm not sure if refridgerator or freezer really makes a huge difference when it comes to pre-mixed liquids. I do know that out of Direct Sunlight is a must. Keeping them in a cool, dark cabinet will make the most difference. Sunlight is bad.

Best of luck!
