Just started using cartomizers recently with the 510 adapter, so I have a question... How many refills do you find you get with each cartomizer? And how do you usually tell when a cartomizer is just not worth using anymore -- what starts to go wrong?
(I've also heard mention that the prefilled ones seem to last longer -- or at least, you get an equal number of DIY refills with the blanks as with the prefilled cartos, meaning you get one extra use out of the prefilled ones. Or something like that?)
I tend to refill (syringe into the wick, spin trick) when it's convenient for me rather than when the cartos are totally empty, so I often refill from the halfway point, and I don't have a good sense of how many refills I've gotten.
Two cartos have gotten, I think, 5 half-refills each.
I'm starting to get a funny taste from one of them (not burnt, but vaguely chemical), which is odd. ... [edited to add] oh. uh. that may be a bit of residual isopropyl alcohol when I was cleaning a flooded juice mess out of the thread, if any got into the atomizer by accident.
Input, as always, is appreciated!
