510 LR Cartomizers, is this so new people aren't talking about it much?

[CArtVapr]

I've seen a couple threads with some comments about it, but they have not been too popular, and it seems and many people haven't yet experienced the new 510 LR Cartomizers.
I got some and they are amazing. My regular 510 3 piece atomizers are now worthless to me as the hit is totally WEAK compared to the wonderful hit of the LR cartomizer. Who needs an Evo when these wonderful new LR cartomizers are around for regular 510 batteries? My bats last just as long as before but now the hits are GREAT every single time. Refilling is easy as well dripping through the atomizer top, or through the end, you just have to pay attention to when it runs low, that's the only draw back, you can't look inside to see if it's low. I think they should make em so you can pull off the atomizer part to look inside. Anyways... I think these are a step in the right direction, because they totally are awesome. Each one will last a pack of cigs worth or more with a few fillings, then you toss it out, cost only about 3.00 each, good deal.

Who has them? Link please....

 

[pipskicks]

Doubts as to the real resistance. I believe a lot were off, if all yours really are running well thats part.

I believe they are very new as well.

I have been using cartomizers with a 510 thread for several months, but they were bought under a different brand name. I did not buy any 510 cartos until the mega became available. It holds about 10 or 12 drops more. It has the same physical size, but with more filler inside.

A few different versions are available now, including one with a 1.5 ohm low resistance. I don't believe these are genuine Joye products. One USA source for them is Cartomizers from nHALER.

never tried... but willing to... when my current stash runs out...

Ive spend enough on the hardware and software to last a good time.

how hot can it reach?

The main ones:

Mega (Nhaler, CloudsofVapor) - 3.4ohms - great for 5V, weak for 3.7V

LR (Provapes) 1.5 (actually 1.6-1.7)ohms lose flavor at true 3.7v Bartleby, Protege, ie. mod batts, but are very good for TorneGos.

Needed is something in the 1.8 - 2.3ohm range.

The new giant eGo/Tornado cartoz are 2.3 ohm (Scott) to 2.5 ohm (Me) - trust Scott's measurements ;-) ... are the best for vapor on the TorneGo.

And unlike some other models, the 510 still makes great vapor with the atomizer. So not all 510ers have found a need to try the cartomizers.

The mega cartomizers I have from Nhaler measure about 3.0 - 3.1 ohms, including the test leads. I didn't fire up the VTVM to get a more accurate measurement. I don't require a great hit and 3.5 regulated volts gives longer carto life and is suitable for the juice I use.

just ordered some 510 LR cartos and mega cartos. hope they're worth it (crosses fingers)

Drew and big buyer at clouds of vapor are stating 3.4ohm in the blurb, and I haven't put a meter to them but they don't get that great of vapor on 3.7v. Acceptible but nothing like a 510 atty. The new mega Ego cartoz is more like it for me and I do understand personal preferences. So glad they're working for you. I love them on my 5v Bartleby.

I hope they will be worth it for you too. I suppose most of us have burned the filler in a few before we learned how use them, but with proper care, they are long lasting and a lot more convenient to use.

[zelda]

What were you using when they burnt? I assume the filler will burn on anything over 3.7v just curious if they're burning filler on an Ego or
the like.

 

[br5495]

What were you using when they burnt?

The important fact wasn't WHAT I was using Zelda, but HOW I was using them. You have to keep these things wet at all times. In other words, most things don't burn when they are wet.

For one thing, you can't continuously pull on one of these things with really long draws. This is because it will exceed the wicking capabilities of of the cartridge. If you are using a battery though, the drags can get longer as the voltage is reduced.

Then too, you need to learn the exact taste of your juice when used with your cartomizer. As soon as you notice a slightly different taste, then it's time to refill, top off, or whatever. In most cases, you can get away with another draw or two just to be sure the taste has changed.

If you do not already know the above, then it may not be best to vape at a higher voltage.

I tried some and they were great while they lasted. Two fills and they died. All of them. Buy a HV PV and you won't need LV atties and carto's.

I agree with you about the 510 atty, Kent. Actually, the LR atty produces MORE vapor than I need, but the taste is about the same as a good working carto.

I don't know why, but some cartoz out of the same box work different. Usually, one or two out of a 5 pack are weak, and I put them aside for occasional use with a stronger juice.

I haven't tried a LR cartomizer yet. Maybe I will in the near future. I have not tried the mega Ego, either. However, I have being reading what has been said about them by you and others, and am certainly interested in giving them a try.

I suppose my approach has been different about some of this stuff. I have been trying to find out the least amount that satisfies me, not the ultimate hit. I have a heavy duty regulated power supply that is adjustable up to 12 volts, so trying a higher voltage with a PT is easy enough to do.

But then, I use batteries too. Right now I am trying out the 1300 mHh Hello battery. It's too soon to know the final outcome, but things are looking good so far.

the LR 510 cartos are a non starter for me....

we saw lowered resistance in cartos with the premium ones for the KR8 early on and there was a host of problems...tendency to burn out quick, burning filler even when wet, quickly killing stock batteries..

then we saw regular 510 cartos with just as bad of a burning filler problem...oh and super cheap and crappy threads

and higher resistance KR8 cartos like the turbos or the megas from nhaler..whch attacked the problem from a different angle... and we got just as much vapor and a reduced burning issue...and great at HV...

so there's absolutely no reason for me to even want to try a LR 510 carto...I don't forsee any benefit to it whatsoever...in fact suspect to be very disappointed by them so won't even bother

I have to agree with you Drozd. I doubt if I will try the LR 510 cartos for the reasons you stated. The reason I say it this way is because I know better than say I will NEVER do something, heheh.

Both the KR8 Turbos and 510 megas work well for me. They have the same resistance and vape about the same. The KR8's have a smaller hole in the center of the threaded end and give a tighter draw, and that's the main difference I notice. For the juice I use, I don't care for them at 5 volts and above. For me, they start coming in at about 4.5 volts or less.

br,

Sounds like you're all set. You can dial in what you need ;-)

I've found that the LR atty and cartos are just too hot for a true3.7v but work well with great flavor on the eGo/Tornado. Don't know whether the Hello 016 is a true 3.7v or not. If not the LRcarto would be worth a try.

The mega eGo cartos and carts are Wow! Just the size of the cart makes you laugh. Although anyone with a Ruyan pipe cartridge wouldn't be that impressed.

Your avatar looks like sportscaster Warner Wolf who is now regular on Imus in the morning.... ;-)

I did not use a cartomizer until I got my WetBox I will have a hard time going back to atty's. I bought some LR crtos from ProVape. I have ben happy with them. I tried to clean one and could not suck through it after that. br5495 you are not far from me I am in Spring, TX.

The LR atty is a bit too hot for me at that voltage too. But then I had to try them to see what all the fuss was about. As it turns out, I am not a great 510 drip fan.

I saw your post on another thread about the eGo carts being available. I am anxious to try them, but that will have to wait until next month. Hopefully I can still get them by then.

I haven't measured the actual voltage of the Hello yet. I'll wait until it has been charged a few times before doing some measurements.

I never heard of Warner Wolf, but the avatar is a photo of me about 10 years ago. You don't want to know what I look like right now.
