However, I don't typically vape a cartomizer dry and toss it. I vape it until it tastes like it could use a little more eliquid and then I take it off the battery and top it off, oh, about 10 drops down into the side of the filler, turning the cartomizer while I'm doing it. You can see that video on the SI website under their eliquid category. Doing it this way, a cartomizer lasts me 3 days to a week before it would need cleaning, which would make it last longer, but by then I feel I've gotten my money's worth and toss it nowadays.
How do you know when a carto needs topping off?
I guess if I got that, I wouldn't like them either...lol. Actually the only time I don't much care for the aluminum ones is in the middle of winter....boy do they get cold outside!
Unfortunately that is what most of my year consists of
