She's ill. Please PM only, if possible. We want to respect her privacy. I'll add your name to the card, thank you, Yankee.
Because I have the secret and have unlocked the Matrix.
No....I meant I only allow myself one of the cartos from Truemans per week because I'm trying to make them last. Believe me, I use plenty of others.
Got it!
I saw that VaporsEtc only had 5 packs lft of the truvapor cartos, so i bought 3 of em. I almost bought all 5, but this time, the angel on my shoulder won. not sure who got the other 2 boxes.
Lets pray they get more in soon!
those are old news Yankee... much like the E2s were...
anyway, i thought they looked pretty snazzy too, but when i brought them to show and tell, the class said they were just bigger GreenCig cartos. And i dont know of anyone who uses those...
and if i remember correctly, it was nHaler that had those when i first cam across it.

Same thing as the old ones, only bigger, per Drew. Here's a discussion in Nhaler's subforum.
NEW GreenCig Products - Exclusive to Nhaler.com! 900 Mah Cartomizer Unit!!!!
If you didn't care for the old ones, chances are you won't care for the new ones either.
Wow, that's too bad. I did read a review of those and I guess the draw is still an issue. I did read that the top does pop off and you can pull the cartridge out to refill. The review can be found here.
Lots of catching up.
You can run...
salt, you're number 1 on the "spoken for" list.
I do approve. Very debonair. And congratulations on your 800th post!
Neo, I believe that the horizontal coil in Trueman cartos if the thing of the past. Tibur said that they are now making a vertical coil, like the 510s. I like the design. The only ones with the horizontal coil are the SLB 510s.
Kent, the Tru-Vapors are, allegedly, Truemans, just renamed by Vapors Etc. The good ones last me forever, but QC is an issue. I had some really bad ones that just shorted after a few puffs. Ross is looking into the matter.
I had no luck at all with Clouds of Vapor LR cartomizers. I tried two and both developed a very unpleasant taste early on. The filler wasn't burnt, but the carto was unvapable. I'm not an LR kind of person, I guess. I sent a few samples to my friends and one reported burning problems, too.
Nic, I agree that the new Provapes seem to be SLB. The bronze connectors and the horizontal coil--SLB.
Ouch, never had this happen to me. I gave up on them early on, though. Too much hassle and an off taste. I like freshly filled cartos.
Salt, remember to fill them completely, they take a lot of eliquid. Let them rest afterwards at least 1/2 hour before you use them. Just before you're ready to vape, drip a few drops directly on the coil. This coil is very much like an atomizer coil and needs to be kept wet. If you underfill or take your first puff before the filler is thouroughly saturated, you'll get this unpleasant chemical taste and you'll increase your risk of burning them. This applies both to the Truemans and the SLB cartomizers.
And have at least two or three different cartos in use at all times. Kent is absolutely right on this one. If you keep puffing on one and the same carto for an extended period, it won't last long.
Running to hide before Katya sees this
You can run...
If they aren't already spoken for, I'd love to give one a test drive, I promise... I'll be gentle
And thanks! I'm glad you approve. My hair began growing out, and I didn't want to mis-represent myself
EDIT:
Oh, and it's my 800th post, thank you very much!

For as much time as I've spent here I really haven't followed some of the product lines. I mainly came over here for the mega eGo cartos which Scott and I got 'early'.... The one trueman that I still have going when 'thin' rather quickly. It's still working so I'm still using it ;-) I likely won't buy any more. The E2's will be used for the wetbox. And except for the Provapes LR's I likely won't be using any other cartos. I've bought the last COV LR (1.8-2.0Ω). When I have time I'm going to trim some of the mega eGo atomizers to fit the Bartlebys.
I had three Bartlebys from my friend who really didn't take care of them. When I got them, none of the internal chargers were working. Now they have all dried out and so far all are back in service!! I'm wondering how many other people who had the recessed connections thought that the charger was shorted out and either trashed them or traded/sold them off as 'regular' box mods - the battery still worked, only the usb charger wasn't working when I got them from my friend. (He has MS and simply can't do what is needed for the upkeep. He now has eGos for 'replacements'. ) At any rate that they now work was a pleasant surprise. So I'm going to fit them with mega eGo attys - cutting the skirt, etc. I'm liking the vapor and duration I'm getting from them vs. any other carto. Still have the very first mega eGo carto going though.
I'm going to cut open the next COV LR that goes and check for burning but again - I keep everything just shy of flooding.

I ordered some of the GP 3Ω 4081's, thanks to Tweety Bird letting me know. Hah....as long as it's other people's $$$.
Should be here tomorrow.
Should be here tomorrow.
I ordered a mega eGo atomizer and some carts with my 900 mAh eGo as a backup. Do you use the cone-shaped or the regular, cylindrical atomizers? I'm always ready to try everything--once.
But I'm a die-hard carto user. I like the convenience. Cartomizers can be tricky, but when they are good, they are all I need.
Here's a little quote from our earlier discussion, months ago, about the very first batch of Turbos we were experimenting with. Scottbee wrote it, and he's so right, as always. Hey, Scottbee, remember this?
I was doing some analysis on your new cartos earlier tonight while doing a "thinking out loud" discussion with one of the forum senior members and "experts". These cartos are one of the rare examples of how one can actually get increased apparent performance (vapor production with flavor) without using the knee-jerk big-hammer method of dropping the resistance in order to generate more wattage. In a super-geek kinda way, it's an interesting equation that balances heating with cooling. Heating obviously from the power delivered to the coil.. and cooling from the airflow, conduction to the liquid, and the actual act of vaporizing a volume of liquid. If a cartomizer or atomizer is working at a nice balance, the outer body of the unit won't actually get very warm at all. Any heat transferred to the outer shell is.. well.. wasted heat. These cartos appear to have a very nice equational "balance".
It's very surprising that I got any dates at all in high school...
Katya:I ordered a mega eGo atomizer and some carts with my 900 mAh eGo as a backup. Do you use the cone-shaped or the regular, cylindrical atomizers? I'm always ready to try everything--once.
I have one cone/atty and several mega 'cylinder attys'. The cone/atty looks better but the cylinders vape better, imo. The cone/atty is better than a regular 510 in that it holds almost twice as much ejuice and last longer than all other small cartoz. Cylinder carts hold 2.5ml. cone/atty carts 1.5ml.
But I'm a die-hard carto user. I like the convenience. Cartomizers can be tricky, but when they are good, they are all I need.
In the case of the mega eGo (cylinder) attys and carts, they are more convenient and longer lasting than any cartomizer (with the one exception of the E2 on the wetbox). And better vapor and flavor too, imo. No cone to mess with, just pop the cart and put two dropper fulls in! That still makes me laugh.... fill to top and go for hours. I do use the straw mod and use either the oem filler or blue foam in the 'plug' manner - iow, cut to only 3/8 inch deep from top - so the whole rest of the cart well is liquid.
The only carto other than the E2 I will be using (after clearing out my current supply) will be the LR Provapes. And then only because it holds more ejuice than the regular 510 cart with the PRovapes LR atty. They vape the same - warm and 5Volt vapor on an eGo, so when I want that, that's what I use. Not for everyone, I know. But the mega eGo atty should be the ticket for carto lovers that don't like the mess of angled fills, taryn spins or condom fills and the like, and want to vape for a long long time.

I think I mentioned that the filler is a bit different than the smaller carts - it has more of a 'foam-type' quality in that it isn't as stringy, so yes, you can use it but I still think that the straw mod helps with both filling and wicking. Also, it isn't a bad idea to use a needle tip squeeze bottle on occasion but I really haven't experienced the 'nastiness' that one can get with the oem 801 carts where ejuice can sit in the bottom if you're just topping off all the time (and no straw mod). Virginia flavoring can get really strong on the 801 after a while. But I no longer have any mega cart without the straw mod to compare but before I did that it seemed fine.
I use the Johnson and Johnson safety swab shaft (plastic tube) cut it to a tad shorter than the cart well, cut two diagonals same side - one top to avoid the bridge and one bottom (as in the original mod).... pretty simple and you don't have to remove the 'plug' as some do who don't use the straw mod. I'd hate that - to have to remove the plug on each refill
That can work, but I find adding the straw better. Cut the foam a little larger than the cart top so it acts as a 'spring mod' ;-) but not so large to where you have to fold the foam. And keep the top of the foam - up. trim off the string part of the foam if you have the marineland type - the lighter stuff on the bottom. Have fun playing.....
Yes and this was 3 in a row. I had it happen to 3 before this too in another pack of cartos. I do like these but the quality of them is too undependable right now. The last carto where the thread assembly fell off was 1 day old.
Another minus is the flavor of the ejuice is just not as great with the plastic casing.
I guess for now these get the thumbs down.

Three in a row? I would send them back. The manufacturer needs to know about it. But I agree with you on the plastic casing.
OT
The card to WW is in the mail. Thank you all for your PMs. WW is resting and recovering but will not be back on the forum for some time. She sends everybody her best wishes and asks us not to worry.
Anyone try these 2.5 ohm 510 cartos from Bauway?
they can be found here:
Refillable 510 Cartomizers 2.5 ohm
Also, the 3.0 ohm 510 cartos from GoodProphets look awful similar to the Truman 2.4 ohm cartos... at least in the picture. Maybe they are from the same manufacturer???
