Am I the only one who prefers cartos?

I keep trying other systems as I am still fairly new at this but Boge cartos are my steady method. I feel like they just offer the best compromise of cost, flavor and convenience if you like a variety of flavors. If I only had a handful of flavors that I used, then I might would go with the viv nova 2.5's for all of them but I have 30-40 flavors and that would cost hundreds!! Much more reasonable to keep a carto filled and capped for those occasional vape juices.

Of course when my VV Bogger Box gets here this week, this may all change! Dripping does taste better than any carto I have tried so far, so if the Bogger gives the flavor I am hoping it will then I will buying a slew of empty bottles and swap out bottles instead of swapping out cartos.

Hi it seems like everyone is enjoying their experience with cartos and tanks.

For myself, I'm not that impressed yet.

I'm using this 45mm DCT cartomizer

Along with this tank

I dont have a brand but I think they are from China. It doesn't leak so one plus point. But using it with a Vmax, not fantastic.

Although there is already a pre-punched hole, it doesn't seem big enough. So I expanded the hole in hopes that I will perform better. But nooooo it didn't. I keep getting blank drags and the flavor is not full as well.

Seeing the past posts, it seems like I should keep the cotton in the carto wet, but doesn't seem to be the case for mine.

I'm looking to try the Boge 510 with a tank but I need to find a suitable tank.

Or I will be trying this Clearomizer - Vivi Nova

I've tried it and it gives a full flavor. And the "tank" can be changed to a chrome sleeve. It improves the aesthetics of the whole set up.

This is a dual coil cart that you are using,meaning that it has two coils.1 at the top of the carto and 1 at the bottom.The problem in most cases is ,the top coil does not stay fully saturated at all times.the bottom does very well.I like the single coil ST 1.7omh carto from crystal clear vaping.You will only have the 1 coil at the bottom ,so if the top of the carto does not stay fully saturated,you will not get those dry hits.This is assumeing you are not using a really heavy juice.If you are then you might want to punch a second hole in it.....try the single coil ST 1.70 carto.Im sure it will preform better for you

I see, yup, I guess I will switch to using a single coil. But what is the advantage of using a dual?

I use the vision clearomizers on my ego-c and I use the Kanger horizontal carto's on my 510 and my ego-c. I will be ordering some Boge Carto's to compare to the Kangers as I have seen reviews that lean both ways. I will also be going to rebuildables and possibly a tank system with carto's but as for dripping, I hear it tastes better and that is why I fear dripping. I'm a heavy vaper and don't want to have to drip everywhere. I especially don't want to drip and drive that would be just as distracting as texting while driving. So for now, Carto's and Clearomizers for me.

I like cartos...both the traditional type and also in tanks. For everyday vaping I mostly use Kangers or Volt blanks. I also really like the Elite 2ml. cartomizers (which fit on KR808D-1) and Go-Carts, 3ml, which are proprietary to the Go-Gos but adapters are available.

I have to be in the hospital and doctors offices quite a bit because of my husband's health condition, and the traditional cartomizer is best for me most of the time. No worries about leaking or cracking tanks, and very easy to fill and top off with a needle top bottle.
