Quick question....

[Elizaabeth]

How can I tell if my cartomizer is empty?

 

[CharlieGirl]

You'll know! Reduced vapor, even with a fresh charge, hard draw, burnt flavor... time to reload!

Thanks CharliesGirl - decided it must be....trying my first re-fill....

Keep the inside wet, add a few drops every couple of hours, and it'll taste right for about three days, maybe more. After that no matter how much juice you put it, it's still gonna taste yucky so just trash it or clean it. I put all my used ones in the same box and wait until I have about 20 of 'em and clean 'em all at once.

Not to tread jack but how about this one...

Great vapor from one atomizer. Using 85pg 15vg.
Other atomizer I'm not getting good vapor from. Using 100pg.

I've switched batteries but get the same results. Was going to switch cartriges but saw this post and decided to piggy back. I'm thinking either A. I have a bad atomizer or B. I'm not getting good vapor from the 100%pg.

Feel free to chime in.

Thanks zerominusone - that is helpful I was wondering if they could be re-filled endlessly. I found the video on how to refill them using the cap or "condom" - trying that method. Have to look for a video on how to clean them....

Hi, and welcome! I use Boge carts and get about 5 days from each. But keep in mind that it depends on the brand and how much you vape of course! Also I noticed that once a cartomizer tastes burnt (as in it went dry) then it is pretty much done, at least in my opinion. Just the thought of vaping burn't filling... yuck! As for cleaning, I've tried to clean carts several times and it just never seemed to be worth it in the end. The filling inside shrank holding less juice and the draw didn't seem to improve that much. But, by all means clean a couple and see it it works for you. And keep those bad boys wet with juice so they don't dry out and burn!

Oh, and google the taryn spin!

Thanks moseng So much to learn but it is finally starting to make sense to me.

I never bother with cleaning them. I top 'em off till they start tasting off then I just pitch 'em. At vapor4life you can get a 5pk for $8.95 plus there is always a sale code for 18-25% off.

sighns cartos are ready for refill.
no more poping of sizzle when in use.
cartos are getting warmer than usual when in use.
vape inhaled is dryer and hotter than usual.
these three sighns will help you refill before you get that dreaded burt tast and destroy them.
after a month or sooner you should'nt have to many problems.

Yea, you'll start getting a burnt taste. Stop vaping as soon as you get that taste or when you go to refill it you'll still get that burnt taste.

if you get that burnt taste, the carto is usually toast.
