Bloog-style VOLT Carto - First Impressions

[zer0xity]

JUST got mine in from the mail today (had to stalk the mailman because my mailbox was empty. he said he hadn't delivered the packages yet but just handed 'em to me). I went back to my apartment, ripped open the package, pulled out the prefilled cartos and the blanks and started vaping right away.

Here we go. These cartos not only look and feel great (they're built very well), but they're EXCELLENT overall. The pull was perfect (using a V4L KR808 manual XL), absolutely perfect. Very smooth draw, no crackling. Performs just how a carto should. Vapor production: superb (using 80PG/20VG juice). I've read so many great things about these cartos and am looking forward to seeing how they do the rest of the day and the days to come. I'm VERY impresed so far.

If anyone's getting frustrated with finding a good 808 carto, get these. The VOLT prefilleds actually have good flavor and the blanks are as I just described. I'm excited! I think I may have found the elusive sweet spot!

Heck yeah. Volt cartos are pretty easy to love.

I love mine

I haven't fallen in love with any of their flavors yet (although I've only tried the ice menthol and cappuccino), but they are the same price empty or filled so I will keep trying new flavors every time I get more. Vanilla is on it's way to me now, I'm a mailman stalker too.

Do you guys fill from the top and bottom? Cap fill? I'm hesitant to soak up that horizontal coil for reason.

I have not tried my Volt cartos yet (just got one pack in the mail). With my Vapor4Life (same model) WOW cartos and my Boge 510 cartos I open the carto and drip into the stuffing.

How I fill a cartomizer (Vapor4Life for KR8 or Boge 510 for 510 which are all soft-cap w/ no inner seals and defined central air channel)

I use thin (20% or less VG) liquid or Vapor4Life WOW liquids, preferably clear liquids w/ no sediment

Filling a blank carto - I pop off the soft cap (unbent paperclip carefully in the mouth hole, not catching any wires or stuffing!). I hold some tissue against the threaded end hole. I tilt the carto and slowly drip 18 drops onto the inner wall of the carto so it slides down into the stuffing while I rotate the carto. Then I wait 15 seconds or so then drip however many more drops the stuffing wants to soak up. Then I do clean-up. If it is leaking, I clean that up. Then I tilt the open end down into the tissue and puff hard a few times into the threaded end to clear any juice out of the central air channel (I want to see light through there). If it looks too wet above the stuffing, I gently touch a bit of tissue to the stuffing (otherwise that liquid will be gurgling or spitting in my mouth). Then since this was a fresh fill of a blank, I now let it settle. I lay the carto on different sides for 15-20 minutes. Then it should be ready to vape. If you use thicker juices than me, then you may need to let it settle longer.

As I am vaping - if the vapor gets a bit light or a bit dry or tastes bit off or the carto is getting unusually warm, I will take the carto off the battery, open it, add 6-8 drops or whatever it seems to want (I will either hold a bit of tissue against the threaded end hole just in case, or skimp on how many drops I add to make sure I avoid drips if I have no tissue). I check to make sure the threaded end is dry, give it a couple of puffs into the threaded end to make sure the air channel is clear, and continue to vape.

Note - it is easy for me to "open" my main cartos for adding juice because I replace the white end cap with a plastic or delrin drip tip (I get them at LiteCigUSA.net). So I can easily pull that out with my fingers when I add juice and it keeps my lips cool if the carto is hot.

I ordered the Volt carto samplers and enjoyed all the flavors, especially the cherry, chocolate and cappucino.

End of day two with these things and I'm still just using one blank. Absolutely no drop in performance in any capacity so far and it's my go-to all-day carto. I'm putting this thing to the test and all it does is say, "vape me, vape me my friend. vape me, vape me again" - this is unheard of. Thought I'd throw in a little Nirvana reference.
