i have always wanted to switch to ecigs ever since they came out. SADLY i am a ten year smoker, an i really beleive i NEED to make the switch.


within the lst month, i have bought 3 disposables, non of them lasting longer then 24Hours(sadly)...

i recently traded my "tobacco" pipe for an ACTUAL name brand ecig, with 2 empty cartOs and 1 semi full one.
i used the cart up so now i have 3 empties. i have a CIG2O brand evape. i can only find replacement cartOs online, witch is really sad.... and was told not to refill these empty cartOs as the atomizers are "crappy" hence why they are disposable.

cig2o.com - website

i am VERY new to most of this ecig jig stuff, but i have a ....-ton of questions.


1. in YOUR oppinion, could i just refil the cartOs with ejuice?
2. i took one apart and lost the wadding.... so i put cotton around the wic thingy in the middle, is that ok?
3. i understand there are ecigs with same MODELS and that the carts are interchangeable, what carts would fit my CIG2O?
4. JUST OUT OF CURRIOSITY could i fill a cart up with just water, and would it vape? and would water vape be dangerous to inhail?

1. You could. OR you could use cartomizers. What threading does your unit use? Do you know? (510,801,808,ect)

2.Wait. Are you talking about a cartomizer now?

3. Do you have a link to what a cig20 is? I've never heard of it. Any idea what kind of rebranded ecigg it might be?

4. I don't think it would be dangerous, while i'm not sure so don't quote me I think it might short circuit out a cartomizer. Never tried it myself.

I don't think cotton is a good wick material, most are a polyfill material, like what is used for making pillows or blankets. Also fish tank filter material can be used. You can google e-cig cartridge filler and get more info.
I'm no expert on e-cigs, so I couldn't help with the CIG20 compatibility question,
And water will not vape, you can add VG, mixed with distilled water to get it to vaporize. Walmart sells VG, I found it in the beauty section, skin protectant, Glycerin, made by Humco. You won't have any nic, or flavor, but it will produce vapor.

yes but if it leaks you may damage or kill your automatic battery. I recommend manual batteries which are a bit harder to kill. And learn to clean the cartomizer up very well before putting on your battery. If you run a carto totally dry and singe it, adding new juice will help but ot get rid of burnt flavor. I can get 7 days use of of a GOOD KR808D-1 cartomizer. And by GOOD I means SmokelessImage or Bloogplanet cartos. ANd I only use thin clear juices to get that amount of life out of a carto. (80PG/20VG or less VG). Cig2o and Cig2Go should be able to use those cartos I mentioned.

2. i took one apart and lost the wadding.... so i put cotton around the wic thingy in the middle, is that ok?

it may or may not be OK. It may burn.

3. i understand there are ecigs with same MODELS and that the carts are interchangeable, what carts would fit my CIG2O?


KR808D-1 standard resistance cartos 2.5 to 3 ohms like Vapor4Life aka V4L, SmokelessImage, Bloogplanet, Halocig G6 and other cartos sold at multibrand shops and I recommend Kanger KR808D-1 2.6ohm horizontal col cartomizer blanks (should be same as Blloog and SmokelessImage I think)

4. JUST OUT OF CURRIOSITY could i fill a cart up with just water, and would it vape? and would water vape be dangerous to inhail?

You may burn yourself with steam.

i didnt run them dry, as i am fearfull that in the case i CAN refill these cartos, i would have broke the atty. so 2 of these cartos still have some juice in them.


KR808D-1? your 100% possitive? and as for blank... you mean empty? as i have to fill them myself? im looking for prefilled ones hopefully cheap... but if it saves money to fill them yourself, then nvm.


sorry if i am unclear about anything.
