Familiarizing yourself with E-Liquid will help you understand better how electronic cigarettes work. The cartridges of electronic cigarettes work with the use of “wick”. This wick is saturated with E-Liquid if you buy electronic cigarettes with prefilled cartridges. If the cartridge is empty, you will be the one to fill it.

It is advised that you refill the cartridges yourself instead of buying a prefilled cartridge. We will discuss in this article why refillable cartridges are than prefilled ones..

First, cartridges that are prefilled are mostly shipped from their source thousands of miles away. In fact, most electronic cigarettes are still shipped from China. The rubber plugs that are in the cartridges cannot be trusted, that’s why sometimes the E-Liquid leaks into the electronic cigarette’s mouthpiece. When the E-Liquid leaks, it is not vaporized, and it ends up in the smoker’s mouth. The leaks also mean the cartridges are not full when they arrived at their destination.

Second, more vapor is produced by a cartridge that is fully-charged. This is how electronic cigarettes work: the E-Liquid that is closest to the atomizer, meaning the top of the cartridge, gets vaporized first. As the top of the cartridge dries up, the atomizer has to double its efforts so that the E-Liquid found the cartridge’s bottom part gets vaporized. The user will also have to do many puffs to get that on-and-off vapour.

For a long-time smoker who is used to having consistent drags, this can be frustrating. So, in order to get the best results of smoking electronic cigarettes, the cartridge must always be full.

Third, when you refill cartridges, you can save on costs and you can help protect the environment.

But there are some disadvantages when you fill your own electronic cigarette cartridge. Filling your own cartridges takes time. But there are manufacturers who offer five empty cartridges for every kit and for every bottle of E-Liquid. These cartridges are packaged along with rubber plugs and a zip lock bag to minimize leakage when travelling. Always keep a bottle of E-Liquid with you.

But remember that when you refill your cartridge, it is still possible that the E-Liquid gets into your mouth. To prevent E-Liquid from getting to your mouth, push the cartridge out of the mouthpiece. When the cartridge is out of the mouthpiece, you can now fill it. This way, a spillage can be prevented.
