Ok, personally, I don't know anything about that brand. Is it a 501 connection, 808 or proprietary. Can you refill your cartomizers or purchase new ones. If you send a link, I may be able to help more.
With what you said, I can say this. It is very difficult and not worth even trying to change the filler material. Without knowing exactly what you have, cartos can be refilled several times. But it also depends on the juice you use. The thicker (more vg) the juice is, the quicker you are going to gum it up. So long as you don't burn it, which is to say, vape it until it is completely dry, you can refill until the atty burns out or the filler gums up so much that it can't wick anymore, most people say at least 5-10 refills.
I use 70%pg/30%vg juice or 90/10 in my cartos and my cartos last at least 1 month or 20-25 refills. I don't bother cleaning them, other than the battery connection. If it gums up, I toss.
Depending on what brand you have, you can purchase blank cartos from $6-$10 for a pack of 5

Like Mroutlaw said, they're not worth replacing the filler. You can clean them by repeatedly boiling them, but there's a mortality rate involved. Many won't survive and it's hardly worth doing that either.
You don't really refill cartomizers. You keep them topped off by periodically adding drops of juice to them. The more often, the better. Drip more juice in whenever the vapor starts getting thin. Don't wait for a burnt taste. Once burnt, they're ruined. You can keep topping them off and they'll last from a few days, to a couple weeks, depending on the juice you're using and how often you're using them. Once they either burn out or gunk up, toss them.
Yep I bought stuffing when I first began vaping and realized it's not worth it. Here's a thread with vid links:

Good Luck.

If you like to drip, you can save your cartridges on some e-cig types. You can take the black mouthpiece off of the white plastic part and use the mouthpiece as a drip tip. I had never dripped before and thought that would be an easy way to see what it is like. It does work and will save you the price of drip tips, but only if you have the kind of cartridges where the mouthpiece is separate from the plastic part that contains the filler.
With the cartomizers, I have NOT tried this, but I have heard that you can take the filler right out. I would only try that on cartomizers that are well used and you are ready to toss out. If it doesn't work out, you haven't lost anything but if it does you can extend the life of the cartomizer.
