This is probably the best place to get a lot of varied opinions...

Informative post. Lots of useful info on dripping I had not seen...thanks for the link.
Walmart's Glycerin is VG. It does a few things: increases vapor, lessens nicotine strength, helps to blend and thicken liquids, liquids will last longer, and it might decrease flavor some (depending on the liquid, which can be good, when the flavors are too strong).
Yes, I've found I like FSUSA's RY4 the best, and when I used it during the last two weeks of September, I mixed it with Apple and Glycerin -- about 1/3 of each. I've found I don't like fruit flavors by themselves. The caramel in FreedomSmokeUSA's has a real strong flavor and great throat hit. I ran out over a week ago and have been having to get by with other juices I bought (MyFreedomSmokes' caramel, apple, kiwi, strawberry, and cheesecake) and Litecigusa.net's USA Mix. I don't like any of these other liquids, so I ordered 140mL of RY4 from FSUSA on Monday (shipped from Arizona) and still haven't received it (in Michigan), as of today (Thursday).
One of these other juices has been causing me to salivate a lot (the last three nights), going through lots of tissues at night, and none of these juices have very much flavor (tastes like 7-Up with NO flavor). I think it's the USA Mix causing the problem, but I'm not sure. The mix I've been using the most, while waiting for my FSUSA order, is MFS's caramel, some apple, USA Mix, and some Glycerin. Last night, I tried just the Cheesecake with 1/2 Glycerin, and it tasted like feet. The caramel has very little taste.
Anyway, at this time, I plan on just vaping RY4, apple, and Glycerin -- as soon as I receive my FSUSA order, which is still showing as not shipped yet, when I view the tracking info. Next time, I'll make sure I reorder it a lot sooner.

I didn't notice any difference in vapor or TH after I switched to cartos. All I noticed is I was spending MUCH less time messing around with dripping, cleaning, etc, and more time vaping.
I don't think cartomizers will last as long as atomizers, but that could depend on the user. They can be refilled many times. I've refilled mine many times, but I've had two die in the last week after I cleaned them in almost-boiling water. (I've had 15 cartos for three weeks and refilled them all at least 10 times or more. Then I received 20 more about a week ago.)
I'm gonna quit using boiling water when cleaning them and just flush them out with hot tap water from now on using a Walmart syringe with the rubber cone thing that comes with it, then blow out the excess water, and then let them sit for a couple of days (with the end caps off) by the little fan that's sitting on top of my computer in the cubbyhole of my desk.
Sorry, can't help you with LR vs SR with cartos.
I am new here so I have no clue~ what vendor? Congrats on the cross-over to vaping fulltime and analog free. I haven't made my decision yet to give up my analogs. I like both !!!!!!

I never got industrious and motivated enough enough to cut up foam. The PTB mod worked ok but still having the pull the cart off and wipe off for every fill. Super-T drip tip ended that for home use. All my carts are collecting dust. I have mega cartos for my eGo when out and unwilling/unable to mess with dripping.
I'm through with carts, I tried the mods but I just can't get them to deliver consistently no matter what I try. Now I just drip and use cartos when I'm in the car. That's it. Soooooo easy.
Thanks again deback, for all the details...both on the cartos and your recipe.
juice--
I love freedomsmoke Ry4 - it's definitely my fav.
"The caramel has very little taste. "
I have heard others talk about juice having to mature before it reaches full flavor potential...hmmm.
I've tried an assortment of flavors similar to yours and have had similar reactions. So I'm going to put the things aside I think are bland or what ever and try 'em again in a month. Curious to see what feet tastes like, is that from FSUSA?
So I bought an assortment of cartos from litecig - Boge 510 LR 2 and 3 ohm, and SLB standard.
Do you have any bits of wisdom to share from your experience filling the boges? Or do you just dump it in and get busy?

No, the foot taste was the Cheesecake I bought from MyFreedomSmokes (tasted like feet smell; I've never tasted a foot that I can remember). It could have been that my taste buds were off when I vaped it mixed with some Glycerin last night. Also, I've had the liquids (caramel, cheesecake, kiwi, strawberry) from MFS for over two weeks, so I think they should've reached their full flavor potential by now. I think FSUSA has more flavor and better throat hits, but I've only tried RY4 and Apple from FSUSA (coupon code is freedomsmokeusa, by the way).
No bits of wisdom, but I've found that pulling off the white end cap and then using a syringe (without the needle) to fill cartos (held at a 45-degree angle) is the quickest and least messy way to fill cartos (for me). I've refilled them a lot, so I know about how much they'll hold. When I see a little drop at the threaded end, I stop adding liquid.
Cool.
FSUSA - if you like RY4, you'll might like sunrise (tobacco). Similar, but more of a subtle nutty thing instead of caramel. Lot's of vapor too. That's one thing I've noticed about FSUSA compared to 4 other vendors; their juice seems to produce more vapor. I also like cappuccino and I'm not a fan of excessive flavor.
I like RY4 for the caramel (it's very rich, flavorful, and smooth) and not for the tobacco. Actually, I can't taste any tobacco in RY4 from FSUSA. I also like nuts, but I can't imagine how that would taste in a liquid. I'll try it sometime.
I'm not a coffee drinker and never have been. Addicted to nicotine and Pepsi, so I probably won't ever order coffee-flavored juices.
