pre filled cartridges or e cig oil???

[Libbygirl]

Hello, I have been using e cigs for a little over a week and love them, i bought a rechargeable one from local tobacco store. My only problem is that i am using a couple cartridges a day. Would I be better off using the e cig oil?? Would it last longer?
I hope my question makes sense
Thank you all in advance
Tracy

Hi Libbygirl , congrats and welcome. Yes it is cheaper to buy carts, cartomizers and juice separately and fill your own. You "may" even be able to refill the carts that you are presently using
Happy vaping.

The answer is yes.
Refilling your cartomizers is easy and MUCH cheaper than chucking it after one use.
Here's a video that shows how to refil them.

Thank you both! Now how would i know if i can refill these throw away catridges that i bought already> That part is throwing me, as far as supplys i would need....

 

[Libbygirl]

Im a heavy vapor and prefer the real tobbaco taste, nothing flavored...

Can you pop the mouth piece off like he shows in the video? If the answer's yes then you can refill it.

"Some" prefilled carts have a plastic cap you can remove and then you just drip juice in from a dropper bottle. When you buy the juice it comes a in a plastic bottle with a dripper or you can also buy a needle dripper bottle: All vendors sell these:
Blunt Needle Refillable Dropper Bottle
BUT some carts are sealed and almost impossible to refill.
Is there a name on your Ecig/ PV?

great....Yes it comes off. Now one more question, any suggestions on best oil out there, trying not to waste any more money here, and for the mouthpeice you put on there? Maybe a website or something. Thanks again!

Im currently using the cig20 brand...

There is no real tobacco taste but I enjoy my tobaccos. Faves are DKTab and RY4- both very popular with tobacco vapers.

Im currently using the cig20 brand...

Just remember that the Cig20 is an 808 threading so any cartos you buy MUST be 808 or 901. These are the only ones that will fit your PV.
Vapor4Life is a reputable vendor that sells blank 808 cartos.
Blank Cartomizers:
Premium CoolCarts Vapor King Blank Cartomizers (Pack of 5) - Electronic Cigarettes, Cartomizers, and MORE! | Vapor4Life
Some enjoy their 555 and WOWBoy
E-Cig Tank | E-Cigarette Tank | Cartomizer Tank | Vapor4Life
You'll also have to choose the strength of the nicotine level in the juice.
Also prolly want to buy a drip tip:

Good Luck.

It happens when you get old and decrepit

Generally the different delivery systems:
atomizer/ atty- an element- used for testing juices so you don't spoil a cartomizer with horrible juice
cartridge/ cart+ atty- cartridge has filler and is saturated with juice- juice drips on to atty
cartomizer/ carto- a metal tube with element and filler- juice from the saturated filler is vaped. Must be topped off occasionally This what you would be using.
carto+tank- carto with a hole punched in it surrounded by a metal, glass or plastic tank that's filled with juice. Juice saturates the filler via the hole in carto
Clearomizer-wick+element in a plastic or metal tube with NO filler.

My only problem is that i am using a couple cartridges a day.

So that would mean you're prolly vaping 2-3 ml per day. I'd safely say 4 ml per day and from that you can figure out how much juice you need and how long it will last.
Here also are some specials. RY4- 30 ml for $7.50.

Honestly the cig2o juices are the best tobacco flavors I've tried IMO, but it's too expensive to just keep buying their cartos instead of refilling, granted I haven't tried too many tobacco flavors, second best is Smokeless Image's Desert Joe


When
I first started vaping I thought I'd never get into anything other than tobacco flavors, but Gooey Butter Cake, and Chocolate, and Grape changed my mind

You should read http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/36180-wonderful-world-vaping-illustrated-guide-e-cigs-part-1-6-a.html .

Also after filling be careful to blow out all of the juice and dry the threads. One drop of juice going down the center tube is enough to short your battery out.

 

[Libbygirl]

i agree the cig20 is the best as far as taste goes, ive tried a few diffrent ones, so what di you end up using in the end?

 

[klstreet]

I have quite a few juices I keep in rotation, Smokeless Image's Desert Joe, Classic Grape, and Ice Menthol, Alt Cig's Gooey Butter Cake, Logic Smoke Whiskey, just to name a few

Hey there Libby! I also started with a cig2o and yes you can refill their cartos. They say that you cant but its just a matter of prying off the end cap. A knife or small chisel works great for this.

Vapage (cig2o) does have some great tasting tobacco flavors but for me the problem is that they only have a few options for nic, no flavor adjustments, and everything is 80/20 PG/VG.

I buy a lot of my juice from sweet-vapes. Try a couple of the sampler packs, makes it easier to find good juice without paying for big bottles.

Many people have found (myself included) that after vaping for awhile, that your taste buds will start to change and you will want to branch out from other flavors. Don't be scared! There are some fantastic flavors out there. Some are tobacco based like Boba's Bounty, Bounty Hunter, Gorilla juice, or not at all tobacco such as Creme Brule, Vanilla Strait, Watermelon.....The list is endless really.
