I use the eGo battery and I'm looking for some advice about cartomizers.

I started with the CE-2 V-4 Ceramic Cartomizers (http://www.awesomeva...TEED_p_199.html) and recently bought a handful of eGo Cartomizers High Capacity (http://www.awesomeva...ty-1_p_194.html). I like and dislike both for different reasons. The CE-2s were great, but were a chore to refill so often. The eGo High Caps are nice, but tricky to fill. Either they don't hold as much as they're supposed to or I'm filling the wrong because they start leaking everywhere, which is messy and annoying.

Is there something that will work better with the eGo batteries or is there a better way to use or fill the eGo High Cap cartos?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi,

You might give the GotVapes? Giant clearomizers a tryhttp://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=117&products_id=475

They hold a ton of juice, are fairly easy to fill, good vapor production, good taste. As with the CE2's care must be taken when handling these things because they are somewhat susceptible to damage if handled roughly.

Good Luck

Actually, there is a brand new dual coil carto out just for eGo batteries. I ordered a few and expect to have them Saturday or Tuesday. I'll share my thoughts on those in this thread after a good 48 hours using them. So, check that second link Monday and/or Thursday of next week.

I have high hopes for this carto design. The standard dual coils have been out quite a while now and I've used them since the day they became available. They are keepers. The only concern I have with a 5 ml version is wicking after the first 3 ml are consumed. That's one of those things I'll be sharing my thoughts about after I get a chance to test them.

Boge are good. The dual coils are good but draw a lot of amps and work those eGo type batteries pretty hard. You DID ask which cartos are the best so I'm giving my fairly educated opinion on the subject.
The best I've used are these 801 Fusion Cartomizer .
The only problem with these are that only one vender has them and they sell out fast but they are THAT good. They're the only ones I want anymore. Best in flavor and vapor production. You will need an adapter since they have an 801 connecter. They're now available in LR though I haven't tried those.

I'm probably not gonna get many supporters for this, but I really like the Genuine Joye 510 cartomizers.

The ones with the two plastic caps to remove before filling with a syringe. Litecigusa has them.

I just received some LR 2.0 ohm Boges that I am going to try. I just have to see what all the raving is about, LOL.


Heh..i thought the same thing until I actually TRIED a boge carto... The joyetech ones are garbage in when compared...

I really like the flavor of the joyetech ones, but if you take one apart.. you'll see their design isn't really all that great.. it's a small tube of polyfill (And not much of it.. seems like very large spaces in the webbing) and is connected to a CE2-Like coil (A small piece of wick wrapped in the coil)

I just found that the joyetech cartos would die on my around day 4-5 of refilling them... i would start getting a burnt taste no matter how much I filled it.. when I would end up taking them apart the polyfill would be totally soaked and full, but the connection from the polyfill -> coil wrapped thing was burnt and destroyed


I bought a pack of boge cartos a week ago, and I'm still using the first one I opened.

Okay - I've gone through a few threads and have an idea of what cartomizers I want to try. Before I order I want to make sure everything will work with an ego bat. If there is anything that works with an ego that I haven't included and you think it's a must try - please let me know and link to where I can buy it. (Wouldn't it be nice if all of these were sold in the same place?? Not looking forward to all the s&h) Or if I've listed something here that won't work, please let me know that too.

Cartomizers I currently use:
eGo Cartomizer High Capacity (1)
LOVE how much jucie this holds. Leaks though and it's hard for me to tell when I've overfilled. Also really like the mouth piece - can't really explan why...

CE-2 V-4 Ceramic Cartomizers for the 510 and eGo NO GLUE OR FILLER! GUARANTEED!
Great vapor, warm and lots of it. Have to constantly refill though.


Cartomizers on my 'to buy' list:
Clearomizers XL (for 510 and eGo)
Hopefully the clear tube will make it easier to see how much I can fill and the larger capacity will be nice.

GotVapes VISION Clear Giant 3.5ml 510 Cartomizer 1 Piece [gv-visionclearomizer-3.5ml] - $8.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
This is more than I want to pay, so I'm on the fence about this one. But, it's clear, big and has a similar mouth piece to the one I use so this is high on the maybe list.

C.C.V. Mega LR 1.7 (THE RESURRECTOR)
Not much to say about this one. The review made it seem worth a try. :)

BLANK BOGE 2.0 OHM LOW RESISTANCE 510 CARTOMIZERS (STAINLESS)
BLANK BOGE STANDARD 510 CARTOMIZERS (STAINLESS)
Good reviews and seem like they'd be worth a try.

Thank you all so much for your feedback so far! Once I've ordered I'll let you know how everything works out. :)

Hi again!

I couldn't afford to get everything all at once, but I do have 5 cartomizers that I can compare. Keep in mind that this is based on my own personal preferences. I've never actually reviewed anything before so I don't know if there's an accepted standard, but I thought I'd give it a shot. If this should be a new thread, please let me know.

*Note three of these just arrived today so I am waiting to compare longevity until I can compare all five equally. I am starting with a new carto for each option tonight. On the second fill (if I remember) I'll re-review each to see how they stand up if anyone would like. Just let me know.

*Pictures coming soon.

eGo Cartomizer High Capacity (1)
Hard to Fill - 1 - 2 - 3 - Easy to Fill
Cool Vapor - 1 - 2 - 3 - Warm Vapor
Holds Little Juice - 1 - 2 - 3 - Holds Much Juice
Little Vapor - 1 - 2 - 3 - Much Vapor
Little Throat Hit - 1 - 2 - 3 - Big Throat Hit
Unaesthetic - 1 - 2 - 3 - Aesthetically Pleasing
Taste (hit 1) bad - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Taste (hit 5) burnt/dry - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Observations: Underwhelming, but decent. If you let it get too hot, the sides will melt. I haven't gotten the trick of filling this so is doesn't leak.

Unaesthetic - 1 - 2 - 3 - Aesthetically Pleasing
Taste (hit 1) bad - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Taste (hit 5) burnt - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Observations: I really like this one, but can't put it at the top because (1) I really like the clear casing that shows how much juice you have and (2) it doesn't hold a lot of juice. This is the first carto I ever bought and I haven't vaped anything but a carto since.

Observations: This is my top choice of the ones I'm trying tonight. Great all-around.

Taste (hit 1) bad - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Taste (hit 5) burnt - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Observations: The greatest this about this is the amount of juice it holds. A BIG +++ for that. Doesn't look that smooth and not warm at all. The good thing about that is that it doesn't get hot, burnt or dry tasting, even if you're chain-vaping. Overall I like it, but it's not worth the high price.

Taste (hit 1) bad - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Taste (hit 5) burnt - 1 - 2 - 3 - Good
Observations: This is a great little carto. Can't put it at the top for the same reasons as the CE-2, but it's still a good one.

Is there a perfect system? No. You just have to try different stuff and find what you like best. I use the Boge cartos and I'm pretty happy with them for the most part. I have no interest in the eGo stuff since I don't use eGo batts (or similar) for various reasons. If something "perfect" does come along, I'll be first to jump on board. Hopefully, it won't be something designed only for the eGo.

Great point! I forgot to say that this was all based on how the cartos work with my ego batts.

What type of bat do you use? I started with 510 and moved to ego and that's as much experimentation as I've done. I did try a friends bat that wasn't manual (I don't know what it was) and wasn't a big fan. I felt like I was going to pass out I had to puff so much. LOL I do like experimenting, but it's a little more costly with batts. I'd give anything highly recommended a go though if I thought I'd like it.
