I have a volt and have been switching between volt pre-filled and some blank cartos with 50/50 ry4 i picked up at the mall. Today I received some WOW pre-filled tobacco and coffee samplers - all I can is WOW these suck. Almost seems like they are not working, getting very little vapor and have to draw for a long time to get anything out of them. Anybody else have this experience with V4L cartos and the volt?

Hey Prop, I haven't had any experience at all with V4L Carto, however as you can see in this post that I'm very disappointing with my volt cartos. They simply do not perform very well at all. The ones that produce good vapor have lousy flavor and the ones that have decent flavor have no vapor. I've given up on the KR808's! Life is too short to deal with these problems, especially when there's better products out there. I'm switching to the tank system myself. Good luck!

Cartomizer - G6 - Blank - 05 Pack
I dont know who makes these cartomizers for Halo but, they do work really well. 2.4-2.8 ohm.

Actually, they are the exactly same as the Volt - I use both . . . .

AND like Laura, rhianna89, & Stacylt40 . . . If anyone has no use for these cartomizers - Smokeless Image Volt or Halo G6 Cartomizers or the batteries - Please let me know . . .

I could really use them . . .

THANKS :)

OK everyone has their opinion and I personally LOVE volt cartos so if you have any you don't want, send me a pm - I would gladly take them off your hands:D

and the batts for that matter:)

Hey Laura, I apologize if I came off as offensive, I've just had such a bad experience with these cartomizers. I think the batteries are great but the blank cartos that I got were aweful. It wasn't just one box, I actually tried two boxes. Maybe I got a bad batch I dont know. But once again I'm sorry if I offended you. Looks like I awoke the Sleeping Giant with you Volties lol.

The volt cartos are my fav 808 cartos - my 2nd fav being v4l cool cartos, which I have also started using with 510 stuff at a higher voltage too (on an adapter) since I recently found out they average about 3.3 ohms...

Sorry to hear they are not working for you......there could be some newbie error to this also though, you have to get used to the e cig stuff, and correcting carto issues, from any cartos you use....sometimes you need to fill them more, sometimes you need to blow out the inner tube, or clean it out, sometimes you need to adjust the post of the carto or the battery...and some juices are just too thick for some cartos......

Hey Love, yah I guess if could be newbie error, but I have tried to fiddle with them, blowing through them multiple times to make sure that they were clear. Maybe my v4l juice is too thick for these cartos. The thing is, is that I started my vaping experience using the dripping method on an Ego. From what I've heard, dripping seems to produce the most vapor and flavor out of all the different methods. Maybe I got spoiled using that first and then altering between that and the kr808 lol!

That is possible. Also try this - look through your carto, can u see through to the other side? If you can't, or you can barely see through to the other side, unfold a paperclip and push it through the middle gently. Check if you can see better. Then try it.

Some dark & thick juices are better off dripped than in cartos. I have recently started dripping some here and there, still gonna use cartos but I like dripping for some juices and for sampling at meets. I have a couple thick juices that I tried in cartos and don't vape well and have muted flavor, so I only drip those.

I love the volt, Its the only e-cig i use!!! We volties would love to take anything you dont want off your hands!

That may be the case for light smokers or people that are not long time smokers. It's not the case for heavy smokers or people that need something like a low resistance cartomizer or higher voltage batteries. That's why vv mods are so popular. Or mods in general.

Not just you, but it's really silly for people to get offended just because a pv that you use may not be working out for them. We're all here for the same purpose, to quit smoking cigarettes.

Paint with a broad brush much? I smoked for over 25 years @2ppd and find the Volt satisfying. :)

Read the poll section. There's a huge poll with how many people stayed with a small pv and how many didn't and how long.

I think many people start with a mini. If they don't read this forum it's probably 100%. If they're happy and they quit smoking, they stay with it. If it's not cutting it for them like it is the OP- and that's the whole point of us posting in the thread- to help the OP, they either need more voltage, a different juice delivery system or higher nicotine juice. Maybe all three.

It doesn't help when the OP has to appease the fans that get defensive if you don't happen to like the pv they like.

I'm not upset at the OP for not liking my fav brand of 808 carto - but I hope he can find a way to use it properly since he already bought some, that's why I gave him some tips to try out....I would LOVE to hear that he found a way to make them work and that he loves them like I, and other volties, but we all can't like the same thing. There are a variety of different ways we all like our e-cigs, different wattages, draws, juices, pg/vg ratios, tanks/attys/clearos/cartos/dripping, etc, we all have to find what we like best. If they still don't work for you OP you can also trade them out or sell them. Fortunately there are many ppl that will take the unused blanks off your hands, rather than it being a product that is not well liked and you can't get rid of. lol. SF is right that we are all here to quit cigs. We have to work together.

I go against a majority in saying that....I'm not into BWB juices. I don't like whatever base flavor they have. SO MANY people LOVE LOVE LOVE these juices, but although I am happy I finally got to try them, they were high up on my try list, I just could not get into them. I also have never had luck with clearos. Out of the ones I have tried so far anyhow.

Oh no - you have every right to your preferences and I am sorry you didn't like the cartomizers and what may seem harsh words to me may not be to you - you have your own opinion and that is something I respect - other's opinions.

I am just willing to take them off your hands............LOL!

Sorry! We were posting at the same time. :laugh: By all means, give them to Laura! They'll get a good home!
