Alright guys. I have a question. Filling my D1 cartomizers with VG turns out to not have been too smart. I've got a bunch of new ones coming from Mike and I'm going to start all over again.
Question is this:
When you get pre-filled cartomizers, do you use just one and keep topping it off until it dies, (unless you want a different flavor, of course) or do you smoke it til it needs refilling, set it aside and get out a new one, then refill a whole bunch of them at once?

Same with blanks once you fill?
I'm thinking I'm going to just keep topping off til death before I open a new one. That's not how I did it last time.

Well I have the blanks and I load it up and wait for it to" soak" in. I ordered ten butonly filled 3. One I will syringe wash the icky strawberry flavor right out. The other two ill just wash once in a while unless I get a bad flavor.
As far as pre filled I wash em and start fresh and once again use till I put bad flavor in.

My question on unflavored is how does it taste and is it bad to just use that.
But that's what I do... and I am new.... day twelve. Thank god for this forum I have learned alot here.

I just keep opening them and then every once in a while I grab a used one and fill it. I have roughly 30 used ones that need to be refilled right now. I noticed that on the 808D-1s that too much VG in them and refilling them without a break will degrade the element. Just what I have found.

Teri

Well, so I have found out too. That's why I started cutting the VG with distilled water as instructed by Rocket, Berger, Steam..... I forget who. Anyway, that did seem to help but they don't seem to vape nearly as well with VG as they do with PG. Since I don't have a problem with PG, guess I'll just stay with that.

berger

First you have to get a magnum condom.....Uhh cough cough nevermind

Teri

I don't! DH .. Ummmm.. ahchoo!

berger

I keep a few of my main vapes and refill with the same juices all the time but you need to cap them off to keep them fresh. I never do more then a few at a time and keep them in a segmented box to keep the flavors straight. Some flavors cant be gotten rid of after you used them like menthol.

Teri

..... and pumpkin pie and key lime pie! neither of which I cared for.

berger

Key lime pie sounds good to me. Where did you get it from?

Teri

Mrs T's. I'm gonna try letting it sit for a few weeks. If it doesn't improve for me, I'll let you know and get your mailing addy in PM.

If I am at home, I use them until they die. If I go to work, I prefill 2 CE2's and they last me all day. At home, I use LR boge cartos.

Teri

That's about how I was thinking would be the most efficient way for me. Take a few with me if I'm going out, otherwise just keep filling til dead.

berger

Thats cool. I love the Corona with Lime from vaporrenu. Just ahint of lime and beer. Actually good with the alcohol added.

berger

I found if the CE2's start to even hint of burn at all I refill them or cap them and fill them later but have to stop using them immediately or the burnt taste will permeate

Teri

I think that's probably the problem with this. I can definitely taste alcohol. I'm a milk, hot tea, and coffee drinker. Can't stand alcohol (maybe once a year a good sangria or pina colada) and can't get past the smell of beer.
Oh yea, this time of year, I love egg nog! Can drink a whole quart at once!

I boil my cartomizers if I plan to change flavors. It works pretty well.

Teri

Just boil then let dry? that's it?

tek

I use a boiling water syringe method. I have the thread in the diy section.

I never get them to last long enough to find out...

Actually, I vape the prefilleds until they start to drop off, and then just refill them with a similar flavor. And I usually have 3-4 atties/carts running at the same time; a 3 ohm on my computer mod, a 3 ohm on my Atty Smasher in the car, a 2 ohm for use on batteries, and a CE2. Actually, I have been using CE2s on the computer mod since I came to terms with them. And, I have so far burned out more CE2s than even 2 Ohm cartomizers (1). I vape them incessantly until they gum up and then open a new one, usually 5-12 days. The Ce2s until they burn out. And I don't clean them. I tried that once and except for the one that burned out after a few days, it only lasted about 2 days after 'cleaning', and still tasted bad.

At $1.89, just open a new one...

1. Let water come to a boil.
2. Remove white caps from cartomizers.
3. Insert cartomizers so that they are fully submerged.
4. Allow to boil for 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and dump out boiling water.
6. Run cold water over cartomizers.
7. Once cooled, blow out excess water.
8. Set cartomizers, open mouthpiece down, on a paper towel overnight to dry.
9. Fill, place cap back on, vape!

berger

I dont clean CE'2 either. Some of them do taste like ball point pens though...

I think it's the VG that is causing my problems with the atties, but Adam at Vt Vapor obviously uses VG juice and has had an atty for three months. Pthers have also said that VG causes atty problems, but I like the taste of VG based juices better than PG, and esp the Vt Vapor flavors. They actually taste like what they say they taste like.

Rose

Are you smellin' my bud light as I drink it?

Steampunk

You must not hypervape! Sitting at my desk I have to keep filling it and filling it and filling it.
I found if you let them get too dry...FZZZZZZT!

LeCig

I keep filling mine til they die Teri ...or to the point the performance starts to suck and I toss them. Usually I'll get 3-4 days from a mega, filling the blank @ 1.6ml and refilling with .9ml. Seems to me I get less burnt taste from the megas
