What's the Difference

Cartridges vs. Cartomizers

Cartomizers combine the atomizer and cartridge into one piece which results in a cartridge that produces 200 - 400 consistent puffs. They are considered disposable and can be refilled. The general life of the disposable cartomizer is 10 refills which would be equivalent to over a carton of cigarettes per cartomizer. The advantage of the cartomizer is the significant increase in puffs, more consistent vapor, and no need to purchase replacement atomizers when they fail.


Cartridges are preferred by many customers because they are cheaper and don't produce as much vapor. For some users the vapor produced by cartomizers is too much. Its recommended that you refill cartridges no more than 10 times then switch to a new one. The estimated average puff count of a cartridge is 100.
