Anybody get their hands on the G4 cartomizers yet?

[Levitas]

Yeah, ya might be a little disappointed though...

I've got some here now, and so far, they're not that great.

The taste is odd, the vapor is poor (though getting a little better with time), and the TH is terrible.

Even though they are 2.5ohm, do NOT vape them over 4.2v as they taste burnt and terrible. The center tube (air tube) gets flooded, and though there is no leaking yet, I am so far very unsatisfied with these things.

Ymmv.

Mine ~just~ arrived, I saw this, and now I'm not opening them yet.... if all I'm going to do is go back to my Boges then I might as well just wait until Vapestock and let everyone go at these. -Magnus

 

[Andyhrn]

Levitas, do you have 510 or 808 connector?

 

[FenderMetalheade]

I just got mine. The vapor production is about on par with a standard resistance cartomizer. The flavor is decent. I still prefer my low resistance traditional cartomizers. Good thing I only got two boxes.

 

[Pete54]

Moral of the story is ..... resist the temptation and wait until you read several reviews. I'm glad that THIS TIME I waited.

 

[Levitas]

Magnus - too bad, I could use your expertise on this

Andy - I think they only have 510, which is what I have

Fender - what juice are you using? I am using Boba's Bounty and it tastes NOTHIN' like Boba's, nor is the vapor up to par (as opposed to dripping) and the TH is nearly non-existant at 12mg (which, anyone who know about Boba's will identify a problem with that, immediately.)

Pete - You're right. though, I wanted to be the test dummy this time around. I really wanted a filler-less carto to work and I held such optimistic thoughts for these. I'm going to try another juice in a little bit - but, hopefully someone will figure out a way to mod these to make them usable. If not, lesson learned

I am using 24mg cotton candy from MadVapes.

I wish I could find a free video converter so I can record a demonstration and put it up for ya guys. I might do with my fiancee's laptop cam, but it's not nearly as good of quality as my video camera.

I will try another flavor, but while I am doing the video. I refuse to use anymore than 2 before I can figure out if there's a way to salvage these things or not.

Dual coils are the best out now, these are the same as the vortex which are not good at all......

I don't disagree with this statement. I have one dual coil here that I have yet to try (trying to figure out which juice to use, since I've only one).

My personal mission, was to find a filler-less carto so I wouldn't have to drip (to keep it moist) at all. Convenience. For that purpose, these are perfect... though, they pretty much suck, so far.

 

[passerbyeus]

I have been on the same mission but these ce2s, g4, vortex, tanks etc have to much air for me and to much work for them to just vape, the filler in the duals soak up so fast after the first fill and the clear ones you can see where you are at I have yet to have one burn on me out of twenty I switch around..I do like my boge LR for my 3.7 for longer battery life

 

[ricks]

Has anyone used the Fluxomizer carts and how do they compare to these? I cant decide which ones to get.

 

[FenderMetalheade]

Yeah I have been vaping these all day and have to admit that they suck compared to low resistance cartomizers.

 

[Credo]

I would Love to get one as a sample. How may refills are you getting out of them?

Depends on the juice and how hot you wanna run them.

I got some Vortex made by these folks, very similar but had some anti leak filler tucked near the wicks to help avoid pushing a drop through the bottom when the cap is first pushed on.

I got 5 refills no problem with a light colored 50/50 juice.
I pulled out the ALF and got another 5 refills.
I pulled it apart, burned the coils and wick off with a butane torch/lighter...got another 5.
I started playing around and pushed it past 6v when it finally popped.
Got the nicrhome and wicks out of a dead CE2 and wound another coil....
Still vaping on it

Note, this is more trouble than I usually go through for a Carto...was just courious about it.

If you're a use it and toss it type...average 5 to 10 fills before it really needs a good cleaning or replacement...as the coils can aquire gunk pretty fast...even with low pigment liquids. These will go through a ml of juice pretty fast.

At a little over 2 bucks a pop...if you like the way they hit....they're a decent buy

Not saying any names here but most of the vendors are just makeing money from people trying these crappy new things, they are all the same stuff just rebranded and when the new people figure this out they dont buy again but the vendor has already made the cash they need. The only advise I have do the research before you blow your money away.

 

[MagnusEunson]

Screw it.. I've got four filled and my wife and I are going through the cycle of review and comparison. More later.

Dual coils are the best out now, these are the same as the vortex which are not good at all......

There are most definitely ~not~ the same as the Vortex. They are most certainly an improvement on that design, just maybe not enough.. going through the cycle now.

And dual coils just don't do it for me... muted the flavor and made the vapor overwhelming for ~me~.

Has anyone used the Fluxomizer carts and how do they compare to these? I cant decide which ones to get.

Just a re-branded Revision 4/5 CE2, and at first hour I like these just ~slightly~ better but I'm going through the whole cycle now and will report back later. -Magnus

I only bought two boxes ( one for my 510 and one for the 901) to try them out so I am not too mad.

Did you vape them at higher voltage, 5 volt maybee?

Interesting...the photos I've seen folks posting of a "G4" in various threads had a bottom coil and looked just like the Kanger T and Vortex (minus any ALF).

To complicate things further...I thought a G4 was a revised Giantomizer till someone corrected me and posted a photo.

BTW...the newer Giantomizers work nicely IMO....I just wish they were about half the price.......and that the new mouth pieces they have stayed on a little better.

 

[Levitas]

Awesome Magnus, I am super curious to hear your thoughts...Here's mine
