oooh thats rough, and unfilitered stoge after stopping...man, i wouldnt even smoke a cig without an activated charcoal filter (nat sherman, specifically fantasia or black n golds) and an added tar blocker filter. i also wasnt heavy into it luckily. i think i just like the smoking ritual, which is why vaping is effective for me. its not so much that nic fix, its the deep breathing with something being passed through. strange why smoking is so appealing to some, and not to others, but everyones different.

im glad you brought up the manual issue and refilling cartos because i wanted to ask about that. i understand the manuals are protected so that juice doesnt flow back into the batt and destroying it so id only try refilling the juice on my manual battery BUT

How many times on average can you refill a V4L cartomizer before the atomizer is done? in general of course as i know YMMV. i dont want to throw out all my first ones just in case i decide to try rejuicing.

I vape on them until they start tasting bad. For me, i can refill mine and reuse them for almost 2 weeks or more before they really start tasting bad. You'll start to notice they start using juice faster or having a burnt flavor and it's time to throw it out or try cleaning it. I dont bother with cleaning mine, since they last me long enough. I bought 4 boxes of cartos about 3 weeks ago and have only thrown out 2 so far. They rest are still going strong. But like they said, everyone is different and it depends a lot on your vapping style and trial and error are the best ways to figure it out.

thanks naynay

i guess im not a heavy vaper cuz i still havent finished any cartos yet. the flavor/vape is still pretty consistent. i think the first one i used is the only one startin to dry/run out of juice.

have you guys ever refilled a dried out carto of one flavor with the juice of a different flavor? for example, refilling a one time used and dried out cart of apple with the juice of margarita? if so, what did you think of it versus using the same carto with the same flavor? cuz id imagine it would be the same since the juice would have been dried out anyway but idk so i ask....

When the cartomizer is burnt, it's burnt and you will KNOW it (how do you know when microwave popcorn is burnt?). Once you have burnt a hole in the little sock around the wire inside the carto there is no way to fix it or wash it and into the trash it goes. Like Wader said at about a week it won't make much "smoke" and will taste odd. When you pop off the white cap to drip a few drops into it look at the white filler material - you might be able see that it's burnt. The blanks seem to taste better for a little longer. Just don't let them get too dry. If the atomizer is dead there will be no vapor production.

I do it all the time. You can sometimes taste the old flavor coming through on the first refill, but this doesn't bother me. You can try refilling with a similar flavor and see if it bothers you, but as far as I know it doesn't hurt to refill with a different flavor
