Thank you for your comment. We checked and have no record of an order under your email. And since you discuss your cartridges running out quickly it is very likely you purchased a different brand as we offer empty cartridges with bottles of e-liquid to refill your cartridges. Cartridges (not cartomizers) are approximately equivalent to 2 to 4 cigarettes. After that, you just put a couple more drops in to refill. Bottles of e-liquid are worth about 300 cigarettes based on puff count. If you do have a 3 piece e-cigarette (battery, atomizer, and cartridge) then you can use the Instead E-liquid to refill those empty cartridges.
