Smokestik Cartomizer Life

[lilmi]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post on this board, but have been reading for awhile now. I'm new to ecig's, only about 3 weeks in now but loving it. Not one cigarette in 3 weeks!

I purchased a smokestik and Greensmoke, I wanted to try both.

Without giving a detailed review just yet, I've found I enjoy the flavour of smokestik much more. I also find prices more attractive. I'm using the pre-filled medium strength carto's.

My concern right now is the life of the cartomizer. I am currently averaging 2 per day and I do not vape that often. I smoked 25 cigarettes a day and don't find I vape that much more - aside from evenings in front of the TV.

I don't know if I got a bad order or if they have sat on the shelf too long but I find the consistency in flavour and draw on the carto to be poor and almost dried out. I compare this against the greensmoke pre-filled carto's and I easily get 1.5 days per carto.

Has anyone else had this issue? I'm on the verge of not purchasing pre-filled smokestik carto's anymore and just buying ejuice and refilling. My last order was 50 carto's. I emailed smokestik 2 days ago with this issue and still have not heard back.

Thanks and any advice would be appreciated. I would have posted this on the smokestik sub-forum but I'm currently restricted to this forum for now.

Thanks

Mike

Start refilling them. It's the only way to make the price worthwhile. I try to refill my cartomizers at least 5 times apiece. Also, smokestik is pretty expensive.. you could score a kings ransom of 510 or kr808d-1 batteries and carts just for what you paid last order. And when you use your own juice, a whole new world of flavor awaits you. Several suppliers sell sampler packs, so you can try a few and find your favorite.

Thats the odd thing about cartos, forthwith is right try refilling them to get the most out of it.
