1st cartomizer just died

[Figurehead]

OK, here is a quick review. About a month & 1/2 ago I went bananas and made a major order from litecigusa. A little surprise was tucked in along with my order... a pack of 5 510 cartomizers. I had never used them before so I punched one up with menthol and put it on my SparkPlug. I was pleasently surprised by the performance. Other than refilling it hasn't been off of my SparkPlug since. After countless hours of puffing away it just now finaly died. I would estimate it lasted just as long as a regular 510 atomizer. I have 4 more sitting right here and at this time am going to save them until this 510 atty I am using dies.

I'm pretty darn pleased to say the very least. I might even try one on my Thermo.

Works like a champ on a Thermo, just keep it wet at all times to prevent burning.. expect quite the kick with menthol.

 

[Vacant Mind]

I love the 510 cartos, and I have only had 1 die after a month myself. The other 4 are still going strong.

 

[Dysmay]

Nice to hear, Im gonna have to try some soon.

 

[Fonzy]

told ya these things are badass. they burn out a little faster on the thermo (for me anyway), but its like smoking 2+ analogs at once. most vapor out of anything ive ever owned.

 

[zelda]

You've convinced me. Jusr ordered a pack to try. Hoping they'll fit my 510 adaptor.

 

[zoiDman]

I have one carto that I have refilled 18 times.

With atty's costing me about $15, it was a no-brainer when I saw how long a carto can last.

 

[Figurehead]

Ok, tried on on the 6V Thermo. SNAP CRACKLE POP DEAD. LMAO! I kinda thaught before I put it on.... "Hmmmm, maybe I should wet it up with some juice first. Don't want it to fry.". Then I got distracted, never wet it up and put if on and puffed away. WOW! Monster! LOL! Tons of vapor, then that was it. Dead. LMAO!

Now, I KNEW I should have wet it, so I don't blame the carto, I blame myself. After all I know that 6V monster can kill any atty if it isn't wet enough. Just before I try another carto on it I'm gonna drench the thing. LOL!

 

[Fonzy]

yeah haha definetly want to keep em wet. ive only poped 1, but the others get the burned hot taste after a while so ill switch.

although not as strong vapor wise, even the 808 cartos perform real good at 6v. just want to be careful not to take long long drags. i was reading something and forgot to let go of the button and burned my lip that bad.

the 808 carto lasts me a good while if i treat it right, but at 6v it does suck life out of em. eventually you will notice the plastic coating getting a hole burned in it even haha.

i cant remember if your a menthol liker figurehead, but any kinda mint or menthol is AWESOME at 6v with a carto, in my opinion anyway.

As a cig smoker I detested menthol, as a vapor, menthol is my mainstay. I LOVE the stuff and it's my primary vape. It just seems so refreshing.

This is pretty much my personal breakdown:

DSE905 with a 901 atty, ANY flavor juice ANY strength
SparkPlug with 901 atty, 510 atty, and 501 cartos, ANY juice, ANY strength
Thermo with 801 atty or BE112 atty, Menthol 16 and Menthol 24
Thermo with 901 atty, Menthol 16 or tabacco flavors at 16
Thermo with 510 atty, Menthol 16
Thermo with 510 carto, Menthol 16

THAT is my "pretty much mainstay" vape menu.

I still have several 901s, 801s, M210s, Cigars, J118s, DSE601 pipes, several mods, and a ton of batteries and attys for all, but right now my Sparkplug is my mainstay for all the time vaping, the DSE905 is my "treat vape" device that I use with all my other non-tabacco flavors and non-menthol flavors, and my Thermo is my at home vape at 6V and my "spare take anywhere" vape with the 3.1V battery.

I feel kind of like an "Elder" when it comes to vaping after doing it for 1 year, 5 months, and 20 days... and exclusively since March 3rd of 2009 (no cigs). I know many have been doing it longer than me, but I am happy that I have helped many in some way or another, and glad I found Shawn and litecigusa.

I still have a ton to learn and try. Funny, now that I am over the addiction to cigs I actualy look forward to trying more and more when it comes to vaping. This has turned into just as much a hobby as it has been a replacement for cigs. FUN!

Your video review of the Vx2 from litecigusa convinced me to make my first e-cig purchase just shy of a year ago. I was happy with it, used it to go smoke free for a few months. I eventually went back to analogs after losing my job at the time. I had noob'ishly flooded my auto batteries by flooding the carts, needed a whole new kit after a while. It was easier to come up with $5 for a pack of smokes than to round up the cash I needed for a whole new kit.

Got back into vaping about 4 months or so ago, though I didn't go with litecig (only because the pv I wanted to try, litecig didn't carry) it's thanks to You guys I got started in the first place. I always knew, from the time I went back to smoking, I wanted to vape again.

Sorry for the randomness, just browsing threads, saw this and figured I'd throw a random Thank You in there.

Hi I am also looking for cartomizers for my 510 either in white or brown can anyone point me in the right direction for them. ANy UK suppliers as I'm in Ireland. THanks for any advise. GREat to hear that they last as long as regular atomisers . IS anyone using the condom refill method or something else

 

[Fonzy]

i cant recomend any suppliers here in a forum post, dont want to plug in shawns forum and hes pretty much the only one i buy from anyway. and im not 100% sure, but i think only litecig and a few other have his type of 510 cartomizers.

the condom method i use for the expert 808 and 510 cartos, damned cap is a tuff one to get off. i think his new blanks have an easier to get off cap though. condom method does work really well too.


figurehead, i knew you had alot of kits, but DAMN! haha, what you trying to do, open your own shop? i also got to wonder how many people bought kits based off your review. thats why i bought my VX2 also, haha.

 

[JesterDev]

Just got mine in today and was wondering how long they last. Now I know. Never tried these before, but so far I am quite amazed.

 

[GoG8trz]

Do these have the rubber end cap or plastic?
Thanks,
Chris

 

[Figurehead]

Mine have a plastic cap.

 

[GoG8trz]

Oh well. I couldn't wait, and ordered 7 packs! Thanks for the update though....
