Can I re-use the prefilled cartos and refill a couple times? Or do I need to use only blank/empty cartos?

Also, I assume I can fill with any brand juice?

Does anyone know of a juice that taste like Camel brand cigarettes? I tried the "Desert Joe" flavor hoping it would be like a camel, but was disappointed. So far I think I like the 555 and Cowboy flavors.

No eliquid tastes exactly like burning paper and leaves w/ formaldehyde, cyanide, carpet glue and 4000 other chemicals. But you can find ones with a nice tobacco smell. Many find FreedomSMokeUSA Desert Ship to be close and I recommend 80PG/20VG for that (same as what Volt uses in their cartos). You can get juice anywhere but thick juices high in VG can cause problems and any dark/opaque/cloudy liquids that drop flavoring sediment in the stuffing can cut short the life of a carto. I can get a week of use out of a Volt carto (running about 20ml through it) but not by "refilling" - I never ever run a carto dry because if you singe them they will get a bitter taste. I keep the carto damp.

And if you find one you like, you could try adding a bit of cocoa or chocolate eliquid to your cart (hard to find one that doesn't drop a bunch of sediment though). Most US cigs have cocoa in them and it can add something familiar for many.

Welcome , and you could also add a few drops of tobacco absolute , I think it's derived from tobacco leaves . Anyway , makes the juice come off a bit more like regular ciggy's at least that's what I do .

What exactly is "tobacco absolute"? Is that just a type of flavoring you can add to any juice? Is it just flavoring and no actual nicotine?

You must be reading my mind. I used to smoke Camel Blues and plan on adding a little cocoa to the "WoW" Kamel I'm using now. R.J. Reynolds also lists licorice as one of the flavorings for Camel Blues.

Hi King Head,

I use cigarette flavor brands from SmokeforPennys.com that have come the closest to reminding me of my old brands - Salem and Kool. Both are very very close and very satisfying, so I would imagine that their brand for Kamel must be very close too

Good luck!

I wonder if it's meant to taste like the analog "Kamel" cigarettes and not the "Camel" ones. I know both are made by RJ Reynolds, but they are a little different blend or flavor. I haven't seen the "Kamel Reds" around in a long time. It looks like they still make them. If I remember right, they cost a little bit more than the regular Camels.

I would assume the juice is meant to resemble Camels, but I guess it's possible to were actually aiming it at "Kamels. Both analog cigarettes Camel & Kamel are pretty similar in taste.
