nic level / re filling cartomizers

[jagerlager]

Hello again.
I imagine it's happened to everyone, but I think I put the cart in front of the horse and may have ordered a ton of cartomizers in flavors I thought I liked, and a nic level I thought was a good choice.
I am using a green smoke "cig alike" kit.
Most of my cartomizers are 1.2 % nicotene "light" in tobacco flavors. I have no Idea how to compare 1.2% with a mg value that most on this forum are referring to.
The 1.8% sample pack that I have is a much better throat hit and more satisfying in general, but those are gone and I have 2 months of the other stuff left.
I thought a decent choice would be to get some Johnson creek juice and refill my cartos as they run out for awhile, and just generally tinker around with re-filling and sampling.
any pointers?

thanks!

1.2% = 12mg.

Thank you. That seems to easy. I guess I should have been able to figure that out!

You could refill your cartos definitely, once you're ready to move on from the cig-a-likes and maybe get into DIY juice and some sorta tank system/vv mod you might wanna check out this thread for some tips btw, might help you a bit - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/378914-suggestions-newbies.html

That is if you ever do feel the need to dive further down the rabbit hole...it's pretty much inevitable though lol...

Sure seems that way! I have no intention of going crazy with collecting this stuff, and it will take some restraint on my part. But I can tell for sure I'll wind up with at least a small collection.

I used green smoke for 3 days, someone gave it to me. Very limited flavors and VERY expensive. I went the ego and Viva Nova route and I have not looked back.

I used GreenSmoke for about a month. I also had a grand plan to buy juice and refill the cartos to recoup the cost a bit.

Then I got the same set up as jclifford, and those cartos have sat in a box ever since.

I'm pretty sure it'll happen for me eventually too. For now I'm tied to this one. I'm happy with the green smoke so far, just need to sample some liquids with it and nic levels, although I'm already pretty sure that I need 1.8 % nicotine at least. Any Johnson creek users?

I've been pretty much using only cartos for 6 months...and I've tried several different clearos. I just keep refilling cartos until they don't draw as well...then clean and reuse them. I have about 150 cartos on hand so I clean 50 at a time every couple of months. As long as you refill with the same or similar juice, you can get 10-20 refills or more.

As for sampling. I have a few cartos that I have removed the filling (leave the center tube. Use 2-3 drops to get several puffs...then rinse and reuse. Only do this on a manual battery...not an auto.
