refill able cartomizers

[lonewlf82]

Hi..i ordered my first ecig.. (Epuffer Eaze Magnum Rev 2)
this is an automatic battery cigarette.doesnt have that manual button. and on their website it says u can refill the disposable cartridge 2 times before throwing it into the garbage..question is..can the battery die out if the e-liquid drips on it? i mean on their website it says u can do it..here it is below

EAZE MAGNUM: We do not officially recommend refilling EAZE MAGNUM cartridges, as it is marketed as disposable cartridge, but many of our customers tried and successfully refilled Magnum cartridges. To refill the cartridge, pop the white rubber cap off and squeeze a few drops of e-liquid around the nicotine pad avoiding the center. Let the liquid absorb for 20-30 seconds and then you can smoke it again. We do not recommend refilling the same cartridge more than two times to preserve the original taste quality and vapor volume. If you already tasted the burnt (near the end of the cartridge life), this cartridge can’t be refilled.


it says u should avoid the center..and the cig uses KR808D-1 cartridge..is this the same cartridge if i buy through vapor4life..(blank cartomizers) i mean i have concerns about dripping onto battery and if all KR808D-1 cartridges are made the same..so if i compare the epuffer disposable and kr808d-1 are they the same?

please help a newbie on this .

If it says it's a KR808D-1 then yes, the Vapor4life cartomizers will fit. And they can be refilled many, many more than two times.

Any cartomizers can be refilled, many times in most cases. I've tried cartomizers from V4L, V2cigs, Litecigusa, and Bloog. I just started using the bloogs (maxxfusion-premium), and they are THE BEST so far.They have soft caps, making it really easy to refill, and a horizontal atomizer bridge from what I understand, so they wick your juice from the bottom. They produce a warm, smooth, clean tasting and delicious vape. Litecigusa has low ohm and standard cartos, also soft cap, and very good quality. All listed are kr808d1 cartos. Hope that helps .

Just be very careful with your automatic battery! Yes, if you get juice on or in it, this could permanently disable the battery, rendering it DOA! Manual batteries are best!!!

Cartridges and cartomizers are different! With a cart (cartridge), you need an atty! With a carto (cartomizer), you have a built-in atty and cartridge! My suggestion is to try both and see which one you enjoy best!

there are different ways to fill a carto, from the top by dripping into it by tilting the carto in a 45 degree angle and rotating it as you drip onto the inner cylinder to be sure the stuffing is where the juice ends up.

I recommend you check out dr. vapor's video on youtube which shows the "condom" method YouTube - Care and Feeding of Cartomizers Part 1
. The condom is actually the clear end cap that comes with the carto. You need to use the flat/no nipple cap. One of the caps is flat inside, and the other has a sort of nipple inside...don't use that one b/c it will prevent the liquid from soaking into the carto.

Another important point, since you have an auto battery, I would be sure to fill up your cartos the night before, to let them soak up the juice and prevent leaks that often happen from freshly filled cartos (which will ruin your auto batt). The next day, be sure to clean the threaded end really well w/ a qtip to dry off any juice that may have leaked out. Once you do that, you'll be good to go, just screw the carto on your batt, and vape away.

Avoid topping off the carto while its on your batt, and don't drip juice down the center tube of the carto, b/c it'll just leak right out the other end. Dr. vapor will show you how to do it.

There are lots of other videos on youtube that show you different ways to fill them, you'll learn which way you like best.

Enjoy! With just a little practice, you'll be an expert carto filler in no time.

Yes auto batteries are more vulnerable to being killed by juices leaks because they depend on a drag sensor below the hole in the threaded end. Manual batteries are more sealed. You could use KR808D-1 manual battery or vapor4Life.com batteries which are also KR808D-1. Cheapest would be plain KR808D-1, prettier colors at Vapor4Life

I reuse a carto for a week or until it starts getting worse at making vapor. As long as you add juice whenever the vapor gets weak or a bit dry tasting you can use them for quite a while. Just don't run them dry or you could singe the stuffing and ruin carto's flavor permanently.

For blanks - the premium soft cap cartomizers here are supposed to be good and this vendor has cheap shipping even on small orders. I bought some but didn't try them yet. there are lots of blank KR808D-1 cartos around

I remove the cartomizer when refilling, because if the juice gets in the batteries it will die. also the cart can be filled many time, but will eventually get that burnt taste.

I'm actually getting just about 3 weeks on a carto! The very first drag that I notice a flavor change, I remove the carto from the battery, very slowly drip 15 drops of juice right into the battery end at 45 degree angle, wipe the connection real good, screw back on to battery, and vape away! I can usually get almost 2 hours of moderate vaping on each refill. This is on a 510 carto, and manual battery! If you try dripping a few more drops, you'll know your carto is 'full' when a drop just sits and doesn't enter the hole. Wipe off the connection, blow the carto lightly from the mouthpiece end into a tissue to get any excess out, wipe and pop back on battery! You're good to go again!
