I find that with even the best with-stuffing single coil cartos I can find, sweet juice flavor degrades over the week I use the carto (it's actually 2 weeks but I alternate vaping 2 models). I think part of that is just a downside of sweet vapes - the bitter of the slightest bit of...

Grats!! BTW how I separated myself from cigarettes - literally. At first I was paranoid about my vaping equipment breaking down. I kept carrying my cigs in their accustomed pocket but twice caught myself trying to light one out of habit. So I moved them to the opposite pocket and put my...

Box mods are pretty flat - whether cheap plastic box mods or something nice like Reo. You could put anything that might drip like cartomizers in a separate case (I wonder if a case for a roll of film would be large enough. Or a padded Altoids tin). Etc. I'm female so I just carry a little...

Just my opinion. I dislike atomizers. IMO nothing will get the scaled on burnt gunk off short of a tiny man with a chisel. I use slightly lo-res traditional cartomizers (like 2.5 ohm single coil on a 3.7 device) and I go through 2 per 2 weeks. I carry two models and vape both, each with one...

I recommend you buy a variety of nicotine levels and use the lowest one that satisfies you. Keep anything higher for emergencies (or you could cut them later with 0mg of the same or similar juice to make a lower level if you want). And always keep spare juice - build up a supply of juice once...

Yes. I used to wake up with a stuffed nose every morning, would cough for 45 minutes while and after trying to smoke my first couple in the morning, and my sinuses ran all day. 2 or 3 days after I switched to vaping I woke up with a clear nose!! And not oo long after I wasn't coughing every...

One kind that is bigger than a cigarette but much smaller than an Ego is a KR808D-1. It's a 3.7v device (actually more voltage than Egos which are usually around 3.4v). Another kind is Joye 510 (but it is smaller and and has less battery charge and is only 3.2v). I only recommend either as...

I know what you mean. I knew I could never quit smoking so I switched to vaping. And I can vape more places and more often than I smoked. What I DID do for myself was once I got comfortable I started cutting my nicotine level. I am now on the lowest nic level juices (typically 4mg) I can...

It is typically nicotine that hurts/burns your mouth, tongue, throat (or even lungs w/ overuse). High-PG (for example 70PG/30VG, or 80PG/20VG which is what I use) vapor lets the throat hit of nicotine and possibly the irritation through better. High-PG liquids are also thinner and flow well in...

I love KR808D-1. As far as I know KR808D-1 is going strong regardless of whether some web brand that stuck their own name on it is doing well. KR808D-1 threaded slim models are 3.6 or 3.7v (the unregulated 3.7v may be 4.2v briefly after charging) so they are the stronger popular-threading slim...

No but I have seen pictures of some charred melted ecigs from other people who accidentally did. My fear was that I would throw the ecig out the car window or into the toilet when done vaping. I only carried cigs and lighter briefly as a security blanket once I started vaping. I found it...

Also - what some people think is corrosion can just be rock-like burnt-on juice residue. I try to avoid liquids that are dark or cloudy - they usually have high residue. And sweet liquids can also gunk up a coil faster.

V4L has some pretty strong flavors and if you have a KR808D-1 threaded device or adapter you could try their sampler packs of carto flavors (their juices are all 30ml so those would be pricey to try). Their WOW RY4 was strong when I tried the WOW tobacco sampler. Some of their fruit flavors...

One other possible culprit in cracking or damage is heat - what ohms are you using on what volts battery?

A cartomizer generally has stuffing with embedded wicks/ heating coil in a metal tube with threads on one end. I can get a week or more use out of one w/ thin light clear juices by keeping it damp (and at least twice as long w/ non-sweet clear thin juices). A CLEARomizer is a newer invention -...

Wow I don't know. I have avoided clearomizers due to the early cracking problems (and the earliest ones sometimes just fell apart). I can tell you manual batteries with a sealed threaded end will usually do a quick flashing on the LED if there is a short like that caused by caused by liquid in...

I doubt it. Until someone comes up with a new battery technology that can be recharged more times, ecig makers are stuck with existing technologies. So, after being recharged some number of times, ecig batteries stop holding charge well, the same as any other rechargeable battery. And as far...

I can use a good quality cartomizer for a week or more (for me that is 2 weeks, vaping that carto 1/2 the time, because I use 2 models at once). I vape (I think) maybe 3-4ml per day of thin (around 80PG/20VG) light-colored clear juice with no particle residue (cloudy or opaque juices often have...

For 510-threaded I like 2.5 ohm single coil SmokTek cartos. I get them at Madvapes. I can use them on the slim manual 510's as well as my 3.7v Riva 510's and 3.7v 510 mods.

My favorite cartomizer flavor is blank and fill them myself. For KR808D-1 thread cartos... Physically I like Bloog's cartos. They hold more liquid than V4L's cartos and the stuffing absorbs liquid more quickly. I have not tried Smokeless Image (Volt) cartos. I have tried some random KR8...
