2 piece vs 3 piece

[Phaelon]

Which do you think is better? A 3 piece(batt, atty, cart) or 2 piece(batt, carto)? I can see pros and cons to both, but was wondering what peoples opinions/experiences have been with them.

I know this opening a can of worms, but kind of need to know for future purchases.

I've been using the CE2 XL cartos for the last week and I really like them. The only time I've used an atty is for dripping.

Atty for dripping at home, Carto for when you're on the go.

I don't think many people enjoy the cartridge experience. For me at least, dripping and cartomizers are waaaaaay better.

I would have to say try them all and find the way that works best for you. I have tried the battery/atty/cart and battery/carto then dripping. Have found that I like dripping when around the house and carto's for when out and about. It all depends on your lifestyle and what works best for you.

I only use an atty (3-piece setup) when I'm dripping - and I only drip to try out new flavors.

I love cartomizers (2-piece setup) - less fuss, they hold more juice, and you have the option to clean them out and reuse them or pitch them.

I just find attys and the whole 3-piece setup to be a big hassle.

Personally I like attys. I only drip, and I'm usually dripping lots of different juice throughout the day. Both work and both have their place. Still haven't got around to filling the E2 ceramics I got Mrs. Doctor Vapenstein. She started dripping a while back and I just haven't bothered pulling them out and filling them.

Dripping provides 100% satisfaction for me and I haven't found a cartomizer that mimics the experience. I don't know when the last time I used a cartridge was.

As most have stated already : Home= Dripping with a LR 306 atty. Away= Ceramic Cartos

Best for me is the XL 808 batts with an 808 carto or a 901 atty.Best of both,and the 808 batts run at 3.7 which is great.

Funny, but most say the same I do. Drip at home (standard Ego bat, cisco lr306 atty), cart or carto on the road. The 306 needs juice constantly, so no good while driving. I like cartos when they are performing right, but ofttimes they don't, and driving while dealing with a leaky carto is troublesome as well. But my druthers are definately dripping for better th, vapor and flavor.

+1 but without the atty, but adding eGo's and VGO with 510 cartos, or with adapter for 808 cartos.
With pets and small kids around I prefer to have my juice locked away and fill cartos once at night with doors closed.

I just got my drip tips yesterday! One pretty one for me, one basic one for when I am out and about and someone wants to "try" it. I was all set on cartos, love them.. so much smoother than carts, less hassle, less mess, no leaking at ALL (I found atty + cart = leaky mess), and they fit quite nicely in my PCC. I alternate between dripping and cartos now. I think you'll find a lot of people who feel the same way. They are a slightly different experience.. and I love mixing flavors with dripping.

 

[Hrtbrkr1965]

I use the cartridges and just refill them but havent tried the cartos yet so am really no help ...sorry!Pretty sure that either way you go you win though as it equals not smoking LOL

I really like 808 cartos, tried both RN4081 and 510 atty/cart combos, they just didn't do anything for me. Hopefully LR 510 cartos will make me an eGo believer. Dripping just sounds too much like work for me (yes, I'm a lazy person )

Oh, I bet you'll LOVE the LR 510 cartos! (sorry, I'm a bit partial to them, LOL)

Are Cartomizer shorter than atty/carts? One thing that bothers me about vaping is the size(and weight). Granted the bigger the batt the better the vape, but analogs got the lead on size and weight.

Anyway, I started on Carts and using some of the mods on this site haven't had any leak issues. And I really pack it in. Drippin is alright but don't like having to keep juice on my person all the time. Plus, I've not found a favorite single flavor so I'm allways mixing, drip mixing is a pain.

 

[Phaelon]

Thanks for the input guys and gals. Just kinda starting out with vaping, so not up to the whole mod/drip/fill my own thing yet. Definitly going to look into it tho

 

[Nitzer00]

I tried the cartomizer thing... I prefer dripping into my LR 510.. Seems to always give me great taste and excellent vapor. Plus I always know where I'm at fluid wise, I drip 3 drops into my Atti and I know I have 4 good hits

 

[adeline]

Ok, 510s from top to bottom..
Atty + Cart
Pink carto
Atty + standard black drip tip
Pretty red drip tip (I don't really use attys so didn't have one to spare. You get the general size difference though).

So.. yes, the carto makes your PV a "tad" shorter.
Hope that helps.

I guess I'm kind of lazy also. I'm not going to say that at some point I won't want to try the three part e-Cig, but right now the Cig2O is working really well for me. I am using the menthol 24 mg. cartomizers and experience good TH, good vapor, and great nicotine satisfaction.
