catty? do you mean atty? that said, i prefer cartos, i refill differently, but the same end result, longer vape time. Ill use attys to drip on occasionally to test a new juice, but generally its a carto tank

I liked my 808 cartos, but didn't like taking two or three extra to work with me. So I went with the clearomizers on an eGo battery. I take it, and a 10ml bottle with me and all is well. Not sure what a catty is, unless you mean atty. Never tried it, I prefer to not have to drip constantly.

i'm using a cartomizer at the moment. It's nice to not have to drip so much but as for flavor i'd prefer the atty. While out and about, I would use my cartomizer. During a relaxing moment i would use the atty.

I can't say I have one preference over the other, they're all different and have pro's/cons. I use atty's for dripping when i'm not sure what flavour I'm into (or there's one I can only stand a few puffs of) but carrying a bottle around and one too many drips is a "hassle". 808 cartos when I'm out n about for their form factor, though refilling when I'm out can be tedious and can be overfilled leading to a mess. Clearos are dandy though the juice gets mighty thick around half way through and I can never get them completely cleaned easily. Atty/tanks (ego-c) taste great but leak. Carto/tanks for less hassle but can have wicking problems without tinkerin', and I've recently had a bad batch. The only thing I haven't had a chance to try for extended periods is a hybrid/genesis/rebuildable and bottom feeder, which I'll be rectifying when I can budget them out.

In the end, so long as I'm not smoking and the equipment works as intended, I love all vapes equally.

i like cartos for when i'm out and about and have a atty for testing juices to see if i like them. i also like a clearomizer i been using a vivi nova for a week now and love that i only need to fill it one time a day. so for taste i like these cartos Super Shorty 1.7 Ohm 510 Chrome Cartomizer have a very good taste and they are cheap. out of the first 3 i did buy a month ago one died because of me using a high vg and it didn't wick to the coil and burned it out because of my mistake. i would keep it at 80%pg/20%vg with the super shorty and they will last for a long time with cleaning. my one is on the whole month and still works like it is still new with 3 cleanings and is used every day. the only down side they need to be filled a lot so need to keep a 5ml bottle on you at all times when your out

I like my ego vision clearomizer. However we did weeks of research before making the choice and have bought 2 more since. We have never had any issues with them. Easy to fill, easy to clean, no leaking. My 2 minor complaints would be having to clean between flavors... Fixed that when we got more. And I only have 1 650 ego-twist, cleaning the coils by burning runs the battery down FAST.

I started off dripping with LR atty's, since using cartridges made no sense to me [I tried it, didn't like it and instantly went straight to dripping], but dripping does become a bit much if you have a bottle bulking up your pocket.

I used a 1st-gen clearo which cracked and leaked, and later just became clogged...needless to say, I ditched it.

I moved onto the eGo-T & eGo-C system, which for me, I never had any problems with, except for a couple of DOA atty's here and there, but otherwise worked. My fiancee, on the other hand, had leaking issues with hers, so I've had to deal with those on her end.

Now I'm using a DCT with punched cartos, on a Twist. I haven't had any problems, though I am aware that if you have a bad batch of cartos, then it becomes frustrating as it equates to a waste of juice.

In the course of vaping, it seems that everyone, at one point, begins to experiment with new ways and things to try in order to enhance their vape experience. No matter the route you take to vape, as long as it's keeping you off analogs, and you like the system you have, go for it.

I find it depends on the juice, and what I would prefer at the time.

Atty: when I have the time and hands free to tend to them. Seems to provide a more pure flavor from the ejuice. Get that slight burnt taste as it is drying up, and that seems to accumulate, so you'll need to blow them out and/or rinse before continuing. Also good for when I only want a small taste of a flavor, such as vape on a Brandy or Amaretto for 5-10 minutes.

Cartomizer: for when I would not want to constantly tend to the dripping, like while at the office, shopping, driving (imagine motorcyclist going down the highway, with PV in one hand, ejuice bottle in other hand).

Clearomizers: I find the clearomizers to be halfway between an atty and a cartomizer. Not as mellow as the cartomizer, not as pure as the atty. Sometimes this is 'just right'.

To me, each of these brings out different aspects of each juice, much like different voltages/resistances do, be it for the better or worse. Its a matter of what I'm in the mood for at the time.

Your mileage may vary.

I agree !

Played with attys and cartos for awhile (still keep 'em for back up), but have been really happy with genesis style rebuildable tank systems. Flavor and vapor production is on par with dripping, and a tank will easily last me a day.

 

[Phil McRotch]

Rebuildables seem to be the new era of vaping. Whereas tanks are the standard nowadays. I can't wait for the future and see what it brings.

I can tell you right away,some people are already working on a way to vary a coil value (ohms)...now wether this is viable with variwatts,I dont know...but if you prefer to stick to simple tube PVs (no As since there is no electronics!),that could be awesome.

 

[Phil McRotch]

That sounds so awesome.

I use attys to drip new flavors that im not sure i'll like, used to use boge cartomizers for all day vape (good taste and good juice capacity), but recently switched to mini vivi nova tank (better flavor, better juice capacity. better vape production and very simple to use). I recommend giving them a try, don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

[GlacierBabe]

I prefer atomizers, specifially clearos or CE3s because they taste better. They are easier to fill. Carts have a "filing" taste to them. From the first vape they distort the taste of the liquid, at least to me. In defense of the cart, they are easier to travel with and have less chance of leaking but I prefer the atty because of taste and also amount of liquid they hold.

Vmod XL for relatively affordable low maintenance dripped atty flavor. Cartos may seem smart at first, then you burn up a few coils when they run dry and say forget about it when you realize you just have to throw them away because that burnt tastes stays with em.
