Yup, prefilled is an attempt to make the experience as easy as possible. However, I can't knock them because I've never tried them but I have filled my own empty cartos and they are ok but I feel only give you about 50% of the pleasure you can acheive from vaping. It really is all about getting an atomizer and dripping, or using a good bottle fed device which feeds an atomizer. IMO

I like to keep some on hand at all times for a number of reasons.

1. A completely new and clean carto for the curious to try my ecig with.
2. Wrapped and sealed, easy to transport in the pocket or purse without mess. (and I know it's brand new and clean for the visitor)
3. Too busy, too sick, too tired, too lazy, too forgetful to prepare my own the day before.
4. Some, like the Honey Flu Cured, actually taste better to me than the liquid, so I use both. (top off as needed)
5. They still come with condoms....

They were originally intended to be disposable, use 'em once and toss 'em. But people quickly figured out that you can refill them and save some money. They are a quick and simple way to get started when you get your first PV, but I don't know if many people use prefilled carto's long-term. It's much more expensive that way. I suppose there's some people who don't know you can refill them so they just keep buying them from the same vendor all the time without looking any further. There's probably also some who just want the convenience of opening a new one each time rather than messing with filling them. I'm sure someone who only uses prefilled carto's will chime in with their reasons for doing so.

1. price isn't too much different between the two.. especially counting the juice in a prefilled
2. Great way to try new flavors with out being stuck with a big bottle of juice you don't like
3. First fill primed and ready-good way to 'break in' a new carto.
4. Have a pre-marked carto, if you refill with the same juice--- some people are organized that way.
5. Easier to trade un-opened untouched cartos for different flavors with friends (goes with #2)

It is definitely a good way for someone to start out until they get the feel for their hardware.


These are just a short list of possible reasons for ordering pre-filled and though it might not suite everyone it does justify the necessity of the existence of pre-filled.

i dont vape all day, i just use it when i get a bad urge. so prefilled is my preference. and if you can get a prefilled to last a day or maybe day and a half than your ahead of the game. my 5 pack prefilled can last over 10 - 12 days & i dont like messing with dripping fluids being that im unaware of how much nicotine is actually going in the cartridge. thats why i will stay with the prefilled. unlike many on here i dont want to make vaping a new habit. im using it to quit all together. my 2 cents :)
