I was going to start a new thread but maybe I can get some answers here.

I have been using 808 cartos on my V2 at 6V and have been pretty happy. But since all my gear is 510 basedand I have to use 510-901 adapters, I thought I'd try 510 cartos and see how they drove. I bought some from Nhaler and have been really disappointed! I like the atty portion of them - they sizzle and do a great job of vapor production. But they totally suck on refill and capacity!!! They came prefilled and ran dry after a really short time. So I read that the condom method doesn't fly too well so I did the recommended pop the cap and refill from the top. These cartos only had filler to about 1/2 way up the carto!! I swear I can only get about 5 - 7 drops in and it's saturated and flooded. I did the Taryn spin (or whatever its called) and made little to no difference.

Yet I've read that people are getting 30 - 40 drops in thier 510 cartos! So the question is, who is the best supplier to get them from that has cartos that people are satisfied with? I definetely recommend that you all stay away from the Nhaler cartos!!!! Waste of my e-cig budget (and it's a skinny budget now!!)

Any help/advice would be appreciated!

The threads are silver and I'm looking at one right now. The filler and top of the atty end about 2/3 of the way up the carto. I just tried the condom method with a spin and 10 drops filled it and even left it flooded. No amount of spinning helped. I just think that these Nhaler units must be some off brand or something. I'm hoping that someone will tell me where they got their's that successfully get the claimed 30+ drops in so I can try them.

I use the ones from Eastmall.com (hardtop) and the ones from Vaporflow.com (softtop) and they are both from Boge and work wonderfully. I use the condom method and depending on the juice I can get any where from 30 to 50 drops myself. I can get more drops in with higher PG %'s. I've really loved my 510 cartomizer experience.

I just pulled the soft top off one of my 510 cartos from Mad Vapes and the filler is 3/4's of the way to the top. Your 2/3rd's seems not so good and may explain why they don't hold so much juice.

Another thing I have found since I just started using cartos 3 weeks ago is that I have become so used to having to refill carts so often that I have been refilling cartos when they are not even close to empty.

Bella - thanks for the input! That's exactly what I was after - a supplier and user experience. So if I understand it correctly, Boge makes both a hard top (I assume this means the harder plastic plug and clear washer underneath) and a soft top (assume like my Nhalers have a single softer plug). Is this accurate?

Thanks again!

I love both 808 and 510 cartos! I can fill either with at least 25-30 drops. (using the pop the top part of method since I hate wasting juice using the condom)

the only difference for me is 510 cartos taste better with higher Voltage (using a BB +2CR2s compare to my ego).

whereas the 808 cartos taste good no matter what mod or battery I use =P

I got my 510 from cloudsofvapor and vaporflow, 808 from V4L both premium and coolcarts.

oh btw Quitter, vaporflow probably sold out on those cause it was on sale last week =P

My juices all taste different on my 510 carto (Boge soft-cap from MadVapes) and most produce more vapor than the premium V4l Kr8 carto. I thought the ohm rating was higher on the 510 than the premium? I think the newer Cool Cartos (from V4L) have a higher ohm rating than the premiums and are closer to the 510 carto -- much more flavor on my fruit juices on the 510 carto/Cool Carto with any complimentary flavors shining through more distinctly than on the Premiums.

That said, I still love certain flavors better on the V4L premiums.

I get 30 drops in my 510s first fill; 25 in my Premium V4L Cartos; and 35 in my V4L Cool Cartos.
