First e-cig supplies and purchase

[mamu]

Hi all,
My first post! First, thank you all for the absolutely wonderful info provided at this site. All the info provided here is definitely overwhelming and somewhat confusing at first, but I hung in there - reading and re-reading and finally made my first purchase last Wednesday.

Based on some reviews I read here at this forum, I purchased at e-smokeytreats.com for my son and I. My first purchase was:
2 starter kits of the DSE901
Camel cartridges - High (for my son)
Menthol cartridges - High (for me)
e-liquid Camel - High (for my son)
e-liquid Menthol - High (for me)
some blank cartridges

I received the order Saturday and my son and I have been smoke-free for 27 hours - woohoo!

What I've learned since starting is:
I take 2 short primer inhales on the e-cig, then a nice long inhale for a good hit.

Keep the fingers off the external atomizer port when inhaling!!!

When changing or topping off every 3rd or 4th cartridge, I blow through the atomizer on the battery end to remove excess liquid and then set the atomizer, battery end up, on a paper towel to drain excess liquid for 5-10 minutes.

This appears to be working AOK for us. Our batteries appear to be lasting about 6 - 7 hours before needing charged.

My question is - does anyone know how many times you can top off a cartridge with e-liquid before changing it? My son topped off twice, and then a third time and his atomizer became warm when inhaling.

Thanks again everyone,
Mamu

The atomiser is supposed to get hot it will not produce vapour otherwise.

I use a cartridge for about 4 days, in that time I vape approx 12ml liquid.
I have never counted how many times I top off .

Some here use theirs for weeks but I found they start to go sour after 7 days.

It may be the combination of liquid I vape.

You can wash and reuse the filling eventually it will become matted and need replaced.

After 3 or 4 days of topping off the carts, I usually rinse the cart and stuffing out with water, and re-use utill the stuffing starts to fall apart. You can buy blank carts at about 50 cents apiece from a number of places. One such place would be The Smokeless Shop. I'm not sure if Phil at E Smokey has them or not.

I rinse my carts out every night and been using the same 2 for a week and they still work fine.I top off 10 or so times a day.I alternate between two types 901 and rn4081.I am a heavy vapor I'm on workers comp.thus I have nothing to do all day.

Washing every night is going to waste a heck of a lot of liquid unless you are squeezing it out first ?.
