Cartomiser Life Expectancy

[Ellen]

I agree, I much prefer the Vape from my cartomisers, do seem to be constantly topping them up though, every 20 mins or so if I'm chain vaping. The clearomisers look cool and hold lots of juice but taste is very muted for me. Think I will be trying a DCT tank on my next ##

[Chrissie]

Agrees with Karma But don't find topping up cartos a PITA as I find them no more effort that lighting a fag - & even less effort on a windy day

I'm saving all my half dead cartos to boil with a steradent tablet then pop in the freezer

No idea if this will work, but I feel bad just throwing them out

Oh I like the idea of this Karma, I froze my Carto's but didn't wash them out first, it worked for some but not for others this also makes sense to me , going to try it....


To answer OP question, it really does depend on what your putting through it I bought some Pink Spot Vapors when they were on sale at e-cig wizard - great flavours but they are really cruel to Carto's , on the other hand I had one Carto that I used continuously through 30ml of Grizwalds Strawberry Ice Cream- yeah the last 5ml didn't taste that great , but I was determined to only use one carto for that bottle

It's not my idea, but agree it's brilliant...

Something I picked up from youtube when I first started vaping in January..Not that I am tight or can't afford a new one, I just don't like to see usable things get binned..Blame it on my Indian upbringing..

I'm like that maybe it has something to do with mediterranean when it comes to me

50p per carto, is that from health-cabin?

Yes from Health Cabin

I was just going to ask from where and saw this, do they sell the innokin cartomisers do you know? 50p you can't go wrong.

[Karma]

Not sure dream, there stock changes quite often, but they do have a large supply of different cartos

i only use them (boges LR normal size) via a tank and they vary from 3 to 7 days, sometimes longer but rarely less.
50p each there not worth messing about with, if it was worth salvaging them i would be one of those to salvage.
if out of 10 you clean and get 2 days more use out of each one you save £5 @50p but if 2 of them dont work you waste 4 ml ish of juice thats in the carto.
i could go on to work it all out but i doubt the saving is as much as a fiver over 20 days, probably £2 ish and an inferior vape experience.
plus all the agg doing it.
anyway you get my opinion, which is just put on a new one.
oh, and buy in bulk.

raggy.................

i never used to worry about cleaning cartos... as its been said they are so cheap... in fact if you consider you may waste 1ml of juice in a failed clean then thats 40 pence of juice, you may as well have just used a new 50 pence carto

[Takshaka]

I really am all for bulk buying from the cheapest source... but before you get there you have to get through the testing stage, no point bulk buying until you find the right things to bulk buy.

Right now for me, cartos seem to be the best option... but even dealing just with cartos, you have to try the various brands, sizes and resistances etc before you buy in bulk and how long they last is part of that decision process.

I am also stuck on the idea that clearos should be better... I am at a loss as to why flavour, vape, draw etc are better on cartos when logically, because of the wadding, it seems to me they should be inferior.

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

For me it comes down to what flavour I am vaping, fruit flavours are nice in a clearo, mentholly type are ok in anything, tobacco flavours are for me horrible in a clearo but nice in a carto, it all be horses for courses, the only two delivery types that everything tastes nice with are the Vivi Nova 2 and DDing.
