Really dumb ego kit carto question...

[leamerhead]

Good morning! Got my ego yesterday - so excited! So the kit comes with 5 pre-filled cartridges, but what is in the cartridges that are already in the e-cig? Are those pre-filled as well, or empty? I've puffed on them and get vapor, but no flavor aside from a slight plastic-y taste.

Blow your atomizer out first. This removes the primer which is really nasty tasting. The cartridge that came on the atomizer is a blank. Remove it and put on one of the one's that have liquid in it.

Thanks! I know it's stupid! I put in a new one and do notice the difference. I guess I can use the empty ones for e-juice?
Cheers!

You are correct. The other cartridges should have a fiber filling in them. All you have to do is fill them until the top of the filling looks wet. You can take a paper clip and stick between the filler and the side of the cart to allow the juice to make it further into the cart. Initially they should take about 10 drops to fill.

Yeah they're for the juice. When the prefilled ones are empty you can just clean them and put new flavours in there too.

The ego tanks I got were massively full of primer. Took me a while to get it all out. Tastes nasty.

I’m breaking in atty number 2 today.. I did as much as I could last night to get the primer out, but I’m still getting the scratchy burning plastic taste and burn out.. Also, this atty seems to have a really tight draw. I’m hoping it just needs to burn the excess out. If not, I don’t think it would be a “bad” atty as it still works, just not as airy as the last one

I emptied those prefilleds out and put my own juice in them. I hated how they tasted!

 

[Thank You]

Mine had Menthol

They are not cartos. Cartomizers are cartos. A cartomizer screws onto the battery and is a one-piece disposable cart&atomizer - a popular way to vape that holds more juice and needs juice added less often, but they have limited lives.

Cartridges that push on an atomizer are carts.

That is just a dummy empty cart on the atomizer. You can ignore it, you can add stuffing to it and use it as a cart, or leave it empty and use it as a mouthpiece when you drip (until you get a drip tip)
