510 cartomizers...

[Ntjordan]

Where have you been all my life?!?! I am in love.

First off, got to give a big thumbs up to the vendor
LitecigUSA
Placed my order Saturday night, around 9pm I think, and they arrived monday in the mail. I don't even know how they did that, but I like it.

If you are curious about the 510 cartomizers, but haven't pulled the trigger yet, I highly suggest you do. Pretty sure this is what is going to work for me. I got five tobacco flavor, and five "USA blend" (whatever that is) plus some refill liquid. The Dunhill I think and the Deuce. Only tried the tobacco so far, and it is pretty darn good. I never really liked smoking flavored cigarettes or anything, so I have not tried any fruity flavors yet, but I will probably get a bottle just for kicks. Pretty sure I could vape my way to the poor house if I spend too much time looking at the flavor lists, and that is just one vendor.

Sorry for saying what everyone already knows, but I hope someone that is on the fence about ordering them will see this. Give it a try, you might find it as good as I do.

completely agree about the 510 cartomizers. i use them on my usb passthrough.

I have been using them off and on for about a 1 1/2 weeks. I managed to completely destroy one of them by trying to see what was inside, another one I let get too dry and now it taste burnt, and the third of the five pack is the one I am using. I have been refilling it with about 15 drops or so when I am bored/not much flavor. So, hopefully when this one dies ,(which I dont know when that will happen) I will treat the other two left with more caution. Not a whole lot of flavor from these things I am using menthol and also refill with menthol. However, I do believe they are worth the money and a great idea, I just hope they get better. I got them from litecigusa.net which they were cheap and fast+free shipping. BTW. I have been a direct dripper for almost 6 months so that could factor into my opinion. But if you have not tried them I would say go for it, you may find them better than regular atties. GL!!!

 

[Ntjordan]

Yeah, I can't say how they stack up to dripping, haven't tried that, but the flavor strength seems about the same as the normal carts that came with it. About to try filling one now, first time, see how that goes.

I'm right there with you Ntjordan! I got mine yesterday and I'm very pleased with them. I ordered my stainless steel ones from Ikanvape (I'd never heard of them before this) and they are nice quality. I may never drip again.............well never say never

 

[basilray]

Yup. Loving my blank cartomizers form RRvaporz.

@OP - I know what you mean about juice! I just ordered 120ml because it was cheap. I won't need any for at least 2 months with what I've got on hand...but at the $5.85/30ml price I found...I couldn't resist!

I'm finding the same problem with hardware...whenever I see something new, or even think about mods, I want them!

 

[Col. Gaunt]

I too really like cartomizers, both the regular and the 510.

Regarding the tobacco flavoring, I had been a smoker for almost 30 years and thought i would try some fruit flavors and wound up liking them much more then tobacco! Now that's all I will vape and I really don't like the taste of tobacco at all.

 

[stover.p]

tobaccy flavors = yucky I smoked 28 years and only vape fruit or candy flavors. Can't handle the tobacco flavors at all. I guess that tells me I never liked the taste of cigs only the side effects....................

 

[irwink]

Alright, I caved. All this talk of 510 cartomizers... I just ordered some blanks. Now I'll be stalking the mail carrier again in a couple of days. When will it ever end ?!

 

[KeepNitReel]

Can't get me to go back to regular carts and those fussy mods, my juice last longer now because there's no waste. Battery also last longer because the pulls are more satisfying so therefore less pulls.

 

[Ntjordan]

I like some of the tobacco flavors, some not so much. Vaping "The Deuce" atm and finding it pretty tasty. The kiwi flavored one looked interesting to me, so I might dip my toes into the fruit world with my next order.

 

[ricky59]

Which ones are the easiest to refill? The Litecig ones sound like you can only use the condom method. Can't remove the caps right?

 

[Ntjordan]

I did use the condom method, but I can't say that is the ONLY way. It was very easy, just need to have a towel handy, a little overflow.

I will not be able to resist taking one apart for long, so I will report back and tell how that goes.

It just ended for me. I have 50 cartomizers on their way from EastMall (80 cents each). I have 11 drip tips (you can't actually drip with a carto, but it's so easy to pull it off and top it off.) And I have a couple of gallons (or close to it) of Tasty Vapor liquid. I'm set until at least Labor Day.

There are some good demos of various ways to refill cartos on YouTube. Search for "Leaford Double" for a demo of the condom method and the Taryn spin." DoctorVapor has a 2-parter on "Care and Feeding of Cartomizers" that show a few other methods.

The condom method works for me in the KR808s but it's messier with the 510s for some reason. I'm using the "pour down the sides, spin, add more" method now.

I always keep the .... plug in while I'm refilling. Otherwise it does tend to drip out the bottom -- which is a waste of good liquid.

I absolutely LOVE my 510 cartomizers, got them from litecigusa for my 6v r2v2 copper, and this this freggin blows me away, at first I could only take 1-2 second hits and I would already be dishing out the vapor like a steam engine. These things are the way to go if you're a high voltage vaper, i've already killed 2 of my 801 atomizers (they weren't new) going at 6 volts but i'm still vaping strong on all of my cartomizers. At high voltage your atomizers are going to be disposable anyways so it makes sense to go carto, plus i don't have to refill every 3 hits, a freshly filled carto can last me half a day so I don't have to drag around multicolored bottles anymore lols. As for flavor, its hard not to taste the flavor when there's that much vapor output. I'm ranting right now but I just wanted to chime in and praise whoever made these gems. Truly no-hassle vaping

Don't you just love the way newcomers get so excited

I got my 510 carts at liquid express, Taboo, YUMMY

I remember those days. Congrats


Until their first atty or battery dies

 

[Ntjordan]

Yup, I have one dead atty, but I got the double starter so I have another. What with the cartomizers I don't care much, just keeping it around for backup. Three batteries, so I should be ok on that for a little while.

 

[budster]

I took the plunge and ordered 10 last night. You guys have convinced me...

Darn... I just ran out of RY4! Hope it's in the mail tomorrow...

 

[suddenly]

This is my very first time buying atomisers too and for my 510 no less
I got mine from liquid express and I must admit they are pretty good.

 

[Ntjordan]

They seem to provide much better consitency then the normal cart/atty set up it came with. That was my biggest problem at first, every third drag was really wimpy and sometimes I was blowing out the atty four times a day. I wager this was user error more then anything, but being easy is keeping me off the analogs so that is what I want.
