Am I the only Vaper that dislikes filling carts/cartos all the time?

GGTS w/AVS tank... AVS holds 6ml of juice and GGTS is capable of many voltages. :)
GGTS is real nice might pick one up eventually, I'd like to find something a bit cheaper though like $80 barebone kit, I got chargers, batteries, atty's and all just want the PV, if nothing else is on the horizon after the holidays maybe I'll drop the coinage on the GG.

Carts/Attys still about 80% of my eGos. only 1 carto in use.

I'm using the XL cart/attys (Liberty-Flights) that are the same diameter as the battery (not the long/skinny with cone) and love how the cart holds about 2.5ml of juice. Since I rotate throughout the day (have not settled on a single all day flavor or two), I've yet to drain one of the batteries, or run dry on any. (Granted, stress has gotten me the last two days - and this afternoon, I hit the analogs more often than I have been out of stress, teeth grinding, jaws aching - drawing on the analog was less taxing LoL).

I got the same XL cartos as well for the eGo, and haven't really noticed any marked differences between any of my eGos. The mouthpiece is a lil' different between them, but that's about it so far. Could be the different flavors in each that are making it less easy to distinguish differences. Just can't see the anti-cart/atty arguments with these XL carts that hold so much...

Drip 90%, carto's 10%

I think it's easier to drip than bother filling cart's which don't last much longer than dripping anyway. Carto's when I'm too busy to drip, like when driving. A full cart doesn't last much longer than dripping anyway and then there's the hassle of replacing filler in them. Plus there's the added expense of buying cart's, my drip tip has been in service since July.

Bottom feed is OK, but I don't like pumping to feed the atty. What is great is there are options to suit everybody.

Dripping 10%

Drip.

I'm a pretty heavy vaper. I kill carts in 10 minutes or less. It's just not practical.

I used cartos for months. I don't mind refilling them, but I do mind their short lifespans and inconsistency. There is currently no cartomizer with a good life span, or with good quality control. I got sick of buying them because they only vape well for a few refills, only to find that half of my new ones are poor performers.

So I started dripping. And I found that dripping actually helped me move away from cig-sized e-cigs, because it reminded me of lighting a cig. So at the moment, I'm not tempted to try a juice feeder. I like dripping.

Bottom Fed System 80%
Drip 20%

I grab my Ali'i, fill the 6ml bottle, stick a fresh battery in it, and I'm good to go all day.

I do find myself bringing along a 2nd bottle with a different juice, just to change things up during the day. So, I'll drip occasionally, but most of the time I bottom feed, and love it!

Carts? Got tired of refilling, changing the filler, getting burnt taste, etc. etc. Too much hassle.

I drip or use atty/cartridge combo at home. I do alot of DIY flavors so both of these come in handy.

Use cartomizers at work. I fill my own. I fill about 4 of the CE-2 R4's and doesn't even take me 10 minutes to do these. I also have the filler type cartomizers but I don't like all flavors in these. Strong flavors are wonderful though. I keep a couple filled for on the road.

OK
Personally, I just went back to carto's. I tried modding the carts, pulled fiber out, did the spring mod... the problem is they are just very poorly designed, in my view. I don't think there is any way to resolve this.

I do not see an issue with having to refill carto's. The only issue I see is many want a stronger hit. They likely last about 1/2 a pack, so that is a non issue in my estimation.
