I posted minutes ago but cannot find my post, not sure if I did it right and trying again, hope it is not a repost (sorry). I am 67 years old, female - I really want to stick with ecigarettes but having a problem - have tried a few and always go back to DSE801 ecigs because they are easy, but they are just not what I want. Have tried ego and a couple of others but just can't get the hang of the cartos and filling and dual cartos, just get confused. I guess I want something like the DSE801 penstyle with the refillable carts, but better than the DSE801. Almost ready to go back to real cigarettes and hate that I might. Can someone help me with a post about something like, but better than the DSE801 that I can easily use? Appreciate any help and thank you, Darlene
Hi Darlene, welcome and keep talking with us. There's so many options out there surely someone here can help you find one that will work for you.
It seems from your post that one of you main problems is filling carto's and/or keeping them filled. If you vape too much of the juice out of a carto you will likely burn the filler. Once burned - always burned - and the burned taste will not go away. Sounds like you know about filling it - syringe, condom, etc. But perhaps your vaping too long on it before refilling or topping it off. It's surprising but you'll still be able to get what looks and 'tastes' like good vape even when the carto is too low on juice and that's where the burning comes in.
It's best to vape on a carto, then frequently take the tip off and drip a few drops in until you see the filler getting moist again. In my opinion and experience with carto's, it's a mistake to fill it and then try to vape it until it's 'gone' and needs a total re-filling.
OK - that's some quick pointers on using a carto.
You said you tried eGo type batts, so I'll assume you have at least one around. I suggest you look at and even try one of the eGo Visions or Stardusts for an eGo style batt. They seem to combine the best of a carto and carto/tank. You don't have to deal with punching holes in carto's or filling tanks. But unlike using just a carto, you can see the juice level and know when to re-fill. My wife uses them exclusively on her eGo and highly recommends them. They last her a long time and she does not go to all the trouble to dis-assemble them and clean them and dry burn them like is talked about around the forum.
Here's a picture of the Stardust, if you haven't seen them yet. And they come in tinted color tanks if it suits your fancy. I think trying them may eliminate the hassle you have had when using carto's and/or tanks.
You can get these at places like GotVapes and Discount Vapors as well as other places. But get it from a reputable supplier. There are some Chinese knockoffs of the Chinese made Stardust that are not as good.

i vaped for my 1st month on a 510 slim batt with atty and carts. I liked it better then cartomizers but was constantly refilling the cart yet alone charging the batts continually all day long. I think you'd be better off learning how to keep cartomizers wet while vaping or trying out the Starburst on an eGO style batt.
ps: Although there's a ProVari in my signature box, you don't need to get into something like this to enjoy and be satisfied with vaping. There are two ProVari's in the house and my wife has yet to put down her beloved eGo to try one of them and she's quite content with her eGo/Stardust combination.
