510 LR Cartos

[BK_Malik]

Hello Vets,

I'm looking for some genuine Joye 510 cartos in silver (or black if silver is unavailable). I would like them labeled or engraved but this isn't a deal breaker. If Joye's are unavailable please tell me the best alternative. Looking for stateside supplier only. Thanks!

I'm going to recommend Boge LR cartos instead of Joyes. LitecigUSA.net carries both at good prices, but so do many other vendors. I find the Boges to be better draw, and much less filler taste than Joye cartos. The silver or chrome part is another story. Most vendors I have visited have non-black colors at times, but its not as consistent as blacks. I got my silver LR Boge cartos from VaporEtc, but last check they didn't have silver ones, now they are white...or I have seen green or blue, too.

For labels, I use a Brother 1/2" label maker I got at Staples. Works great an not too expensive. Got it for DIY bottles, carto labeling and whatever other thing I obsessively want to label. A decent one will run about $30. Engraving on cartos is not something I have seen done, given that they are technically disposable, but I suppose if you went to the mall you might find a jewelry kiosk that will do it for you. Don't think it will be cheap though.

Puresmoker has Boge LR 510's in stainless and black, and a little cheaper than LitecigUSA - but unless you're buying a lot (or other stuff) the cost diff is offset by Puresmoker's higher shipping fees. I too use brother labels - the laminated ones. Since cartos are covered in a vinyl-like, adhesive applied covering, I would not expect them to engrave well at all - probably just chew up the vinyl.
