Hey all~

New to the forums but I've been vaping for around 5 months, solely on the 510. Ordered two packs of these babies today and can't wait. I've tried every cart mod that's had some success on here, playing ghost and reading but never writing, and none have impressed me enough to stick with regularily: I'd rather drip. The size difference between a 510 3 piece and one with these cartos is likewise intriguing.

Be nice to give em a try. Have a ton of fresh TV juice on the way as well:) Now I gotta figure out how to safely fill these up!

Welcome to the house! Good choice on your first vape machine and I like my carts at home, but have to grab the KR for the rode, or work.

This may change everything. :thumb:

Got the Honey Flu and Tobacco on the way, along with original e-liquid. How is the Tobacco tasting?

Anyone trying these on the 150 Standard 510 batt? All I have for now (and the PT) and was wondering how their doing with other batteries?

Laser is on the way.


I just tried the 510 carto on a stock, manual 510 battery. That was something I had not tried yet. I am happy to report that it works great!! I was quite impressed! :)

The Original Tobacco , IMO, is a smooth, not too sweet tobacco flavor. The sweeter tobacco flavor would be the honey flue cured. Again, everyone's tastes are different so that is just my opinion.

Hope that helps

I like the sweet tobacco taste sometimes, and at other times the stronger more robust type flavor. These should both work out for me just fine. Not into the exotics at all so I was happy to see you started out with the basic flavors.

Carto should work great on my PT and regular battery for now until the Laser arrives. I appreciate your testing it out and getting back to us.

I'll run the little guys until they drop and mix in the Laser 10440 for kicks.

Thank You

To refill, I ripped the lid out, scraped off the glue from the inside of the carto, then added about 30 drops. Since the lid was destroyted, I used a regular 510 cart and cut the bottom off just below the vents... fits perfectly. I actually like it better that way.

Also, if you refill one, or find that one doesn't seem to work very well, try it at 5v. They work really well on 5v anyway, but after refilling one I found that it wasn't vaping well. So, it put it on my VP/PT and it worked great!

I know they're name is LiquidXpress, but does anyone know how fast they ship? I decided to give them a try also, as 808 cartos are very inconsistent as of now.
I am sure you will find quite a few posts about the fast shipping right here in the LiquidXpress forum. Rob doesn't play around with getting those orders out. :) He even sent and email out to a few people a couple of days ago because their orders shipped 5 hours later than he planned for them to ship! lol

Maybe someone can tell me how the taste in the Taboo cartos and the actual Taboo liquid compare? Are they the exact same taste or are there subtle differences?

Bianca, the difference in taste (right now) is NIGHT and DAY.

Seriously. The Taboo in the cartos taste like buttered popcorn IMO (and a few others)

The Taboo in the bottles tastes like manna from heaven :) or to be more specific the perfect blend of caramel and vanilla. The reviews under the bottled Taboo speak for themselves.

I had read that somewhere, about the popcorn flavor in the cartos, and then someone gave me 4 of them. I did get a kettle corn kinda taste from them...lucky for me I like kettle corn, but it IS kind of a strange vape. Although, I have to say, it grew on me and by the end of the last cart I was sad to see them gone. ;) I REALLY want that "manna from heaven" taste that you're talking about. I've been searching all over for it and I haven't found it yet. I suppose I'll have to go for it one more time and hope for the best. Thanks for responding, Yanks21! :)

Personally, I taste no tobacco at all in the taboo. It is definitely Caramel and Vanilla, IMO.

We should have some blank ones in the near future also, so you could fill them yourself.

Well, the Taboo cartos arrived today. The primary flavor is palpably like a cigarette -- there's barely anything else. Since I stopped smoking, all cigarette-like tobacco flavors taste skanky and stale to me; Taboo is no exception. I tried to ignore my own reaction, but mild disgust won.

QiNC, I'm very disappointed, especially since on 4/16 you said kinda the opposite of what you said above, to wit:

It is tobacco with a very slight sweetness

Which does describe it exactly, but too late for me.

Wumpus, could you please link me via a pm the post where she said that, I've been looking around and can't find where she specifically talked about taboo and contradicted herself.

Are you sure she wasn't talking about the Honey flue cured carto's when discussing the slight sweetness to the tobacco?

I sent you the link in a PM. Also, the little right-arrow next to the 'Originally posted by' will lead to it.

I am sure that the subject was Taboo (heh). As I mentioned in my PM, I'm still looking forward to trying the liquid flavors that arrived today (cherries, black tea); its just that I'm now terribly unfond of things that taste like cigarettes.

Cheers and thanks for writing back so fast.

Ah ok, I was looking everywhere for a 4/16 post that said such, and couldn't find one, that one was posted on 4/11.

Anyway, Taboo, is an RY4 variant, it's a tobacco base, with some people tasting NO tobacco, and others only tasting tobacco. Most of her posting is as she is educated in what actually makes the flavorings so while her impressions may be just "caramel and vanilla" I always go back to make sure she knows that even though that's what she gets out of it, that's not what everyone else does. So now she's trying to follow more of the "what's in it" route.

RY4's have a tobacco base, and a mixture of other flavors mixed in. Our Taboo is an RY4 with additional Caramel and Vanilla.

The issue I find interesting is you actually taste tobacco in the carto's when MOST people out there, find they taste like kettle popcorn.

I will post this in the thread as well as our PM so that no one thinks I'm covering or hiding things.

No worries, I didn't think there was any subterfuge. And I fully expect not to like some flavors.

I just tried your black tea -- very nice! It tastes like Ceylon, maybe blended with Assam?
