atomizers vs cartomizers

[Codrut Popescu]

I have an Ego-C and at the suggestion of some ECF members I tried some cartomizers on my Ego-C battery. So I bought some Kanger dual coil cartos and I was amazed. For me there is no turning back to my Ego-C atomizer.
But some people claim that an atomizer is providing a better vaping experience. Is this true? Cause after vaping with my cartos I just can't use anymore the atty.
What is your experience with this? Which one provide a better taste? A carto or an atty?

The atty proponents are most likely talking about dripping or a juice feed, not an ego.

I believe that variety is the spice of life.

This is a very personal thing... It's up to each individual to decide... There is no beating the convenience of a carto... If that works the best for you and your vaping habits, don't worry about what others think...

Some enjoy dripping which would use an atomizer rather than the carto. It is true that dripping can give a better vaping experience as some have said. Possibly that's what you're refering to?

I agree with Homedude...What is better for you may not float someone else's boat. I like the LR 306 atty and use a DCA to drip, but I don't mind bringing a carto to work for convenience.

IMO, cartos provide a better experience than an atomizer/cart combination. Cartos hold more juice, allow for longer periods between fills, and also a more uniform vape. However, direct dripping onto an atomizer will give better vapor and more flavor than either, albeit it is not very convenient. My favorites, by far, are the CE2 style cartos: the convenience of a carto and flavor similar to dripping.

Like most everything else vape related, it's all subjective, so responses and opinions will be varied ...

I am with you in that I find Kanger horizontal coils to provide very good flavor and vapor, and yes I prefer them to direct dripping with an atty. For my first three months of vaping I was a dripper, and I have used standard Joye 510 attiess, as well as LR Ego Type A and B atties, and I still prefer Kanger cartos ..

But I know that many still swear by atties and direct dripping for the best flavor ... so it is simply a matter of "what works best for you". Now I have also heard that 901 atties are excellent flavor producers, so I plan to try these shortly, and who knows ... I may be right back to direct dripping.

I find myself using a carto while I am on the go, at work or whatever but when I'm home and sitting back relaxing, I've been dripping onto the atty and vaping that way. I'm still new with very little experience, but so far it seems to me that dripping provides richer, smoother flavor and better vapor than the cartos. May just be in my mind, but it sure seems that way.

I do it all. When i'm hanging around the house I drip. I like the taste cause it tastes like new every time. But I also like the carto's. I recently bought ce2's for my 510. At first I loved the clearomizers but soon they started to leak. I think cause their plastic and the heat makes them expand. The metal ce2's I bought don't do that. I really like them but can't see when their low like I could with the clearo's. Oh well. I don't think I'll ever go back to the carto's with filler in them. That is unless I have no choice till something arrives in the mail lol.. I do 'not' like the atomizers that come with the 510's. They seem to pull the juice to the top and I get it in my mouth. Yuk! Hoping you are enjoying vaping! I am!! Smoke free since August 2011.

the atty caro wars have been going on forever, many lives have been lost, feelings hurt, families broke apart
personally i love cartos now found the ego tank attys too much hassle
but there are other attys and cartos to try
i would find a vender that sells singles find what works out best for you
taste is very subjective i find attys give more flavor not necessarily better flavor

good luck on your vaping journey

I only keep atomizers around for testing flavors. I don't care for the taste of atomizers because I'm sensitive to metal....I can taste the metal through the juice and yes I know to keep them wet.

My favorite things to use are cartomizers. I use different ohms for different PV's/juice setups. It's easiest for me just to fill and go. Also, I use carto tanks when carrying a bottle of juice doesn't work. The carto tanks, until ran dry, keep the cartomizer wet at all times and are very easy to use.

After trying several cartomizers and atomizers I can say that I like Boge 510D LR Cartomizers most.
Handling, flavour and price are top

I like to use an atty to drip to taste new juices and to ocasionally vape at home but I mainly use cartos.

I prefer the larger 4ml cartomisers over my attys. Just sayin tho.
