yeah should be no probs

Hmm I need something to store all my juice in so it doesn't get mixed up.

How long do cartomizers last and should I throw them away after? I want to try out all my juices but only have 5 cartomizers is there a way I can do it ?

Cartomiser life depends on lots of things, but mostly what
kind of juice you put in them. Some juices gunge things up
faster than others.
Some will die after a week others can last for a lot longer.
I have one that is still going after nearly two months.

To stop them getting mixed up I use different coloured drip tips, o
thers have used labels and nail varnish...

I find it easiest to keep them in the little bags, that you often get with your purchases, beside the juice that I'm using in them

Cartomisers are a disposable item and in my experience last between 3 - 7 days as long as you don't let them run dry.
If you do let your cartomiser dry out it will taste burnt, then you will have to bin it as you cannot get rid of the burnt taste.

If you want to try juices the best way is to get a atomiser (no filler just a heating coil) and drop a few drops in to try a flavour you can then rinse the atomiser out before trying a new flavour.

I've tried many times to clean cartomisers and in my case i find they never vape as well as a new one, so I bite the bullet and throw it away and start a new one, they're less than £2 each and I did spend over£5 a day on ciggies.

Yes, I do but I still find they're not 100% and there's nothing better than a new carto. So now I bin them, though my main device for the last week or so has been the Stardust.

Do you find the Stardust better than the imist Des?

No, it's on a par with it. But the Imist is more versatile: Direct dripping, better for swapping flavours and very easy to clean. The Stardust is just so faff free.
