Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

[Quick1]

Thanks. I think I'll go to Sears today

Tried it last night. It worked ... ok. The plastic skirt on the eGo cartomizers is actually pretty flimsy plastic. So you need to gently apply pressure with the screw. A bit more initially so it scores it on the first turn or two. Then just a small amount more, couple of turns, small amount more, couple of turns... and then it's going to sort of break through. Might have to shave off a sliver or two with a sharp knife at the end. But the results were spectacular (well, at least compared to the carnage I did with the dremel). One tricky part is that the cutting wheel is a bit wobbly in the tool. I guess maybe that's the difference between a $10 pipe cutter and a $100 pipe cutter?

 

[ImYourSalt]

also make sure you get the proper pipe cutter. one designed for copper, isn't gonna do such a clean job with aluminum....

On another note....

anyone seen these?
801 cartomizers? available from madvapes. made by Bauway. apparently hold 50 drops. I like the 2.5Ω 510 cartos, but they dont hold nearly enough liquid. seems like all i do is add five more drops. and repeat...

might grab a couple.

 

[ImYourSalt]

AHHH!

I'm almost out of cartos, and I don't know where to order more! I have some BOGE regular, and LR, cartos on the way, to help tithe me over. the Tru-vapors I got last time arent up to snuff. They don't seem to fill, or wick, nearly as well as before, maybe that's the filler issue... also the Bauway version from Madvapes just doesnt seem to hold enough liquid, and it seems like i spend just as much time dripping, as i do vaping.

I need some advice.... Be they 510, 808d-1, or something new (i still havn't tried the GP 4081's,)... i just need some decent cartos
decent, to me: strong throat hit, solid vapor, holds 20-30 drops of juice, and i know, this might be pushing it, but semi burn-resistant would be great!
THANKS!

Maybe I'll check deals and steals.... maybe something went on sale...

VAPE ON!

tru-vapor's next batch is suppose to be with the old fillers (the ones we like). he is all out of the new fillers and the next batch will be all good again (I hope). he should have them back in stock very soon.

What he said^.

Salt, baby, I feel your pain. I'm back to SS and Boge cartos for my Riva. I have a lot to report on the Joyetech cartos, eGo mega atty/cart, and various 4081s, but I've been really busy. Maybe later tonight.

Boge cartos are solid and they will tide you over. They work well and don't burn easily for me, but they are a bit too weak on 510 batts (3.0Ω). But they produce plenty of vapor. The flavor is mediocre at best.

As you know, I bought my Riva because I was in love with Tru-Vapor 510 cartos and they worked fabulously for awhile, before Trueman started messing with the filler. I really hope Ross can get the good ones back soon. If not, my only hope is the E2 Revision 4.

The blank 4081s from GP are OK, but not spectacular, and you have to refill them more often than any 510s. I think I like his prefilled ones better. I also like SS full flavor cartos, but the price, even with ECF discount, is high.

Didn't you say you liked GP's 510s? I had no luck with them.

Hang in there.

Are the V9 Turbos out of favor now?....did they change them?

 

[Katya]

Not at all. There have been some passing issues with overstuffing at some point, but they are still on the recommended list. Another issue was with the elusive 'vitamin' smell emitted by the rubber end caps in some batches. The best remedy is to rinse the caps or soak them briefly in vinegar and let them air dry. The V4L Cool Carts, Nhaler's mega carts and CigEasy's Gold label cartos are very similar to Turbos in quality and resistance (3.1-3.4Ω) and seem to suffer from the same overstuffing problems, on occasion. QC is the biggest problem.

I happen to like the Turbos. YMMV.

Hang in there.

Tried the Ego cartos... 1 was a dud. the other was leaky, all over the place, and more or less performed like an atty. same as the ego atty/carts. leaky. and just big atomizers. but i dont notice any better performance than their smaller cousins.

The SS cartos are like an ultra light. and im looking for more of a non-filter.

I'm bugged about the TruVapor issue. these new ones just dont wick proper. or fill as easily either. maybe this new filler is more dense than the last?

dont remember if i tried the GP 510's. i think they were supposed to be 2.5 and turned out 3Ω. i'm thinking 2.5 is as high as i wanna go for a 510 class device.
pretty sure it was the GP808d-1s i actually tried.

and i probably woulda bought some CigEasy, or V4L, or V9, cartos, but i am all out of good kr8 batts!

so, i went down to the Vapure Main office. picked up a 4 pack of blanks, and a 510 adapter to last me until my Boge cartos get here. they are decent. using the 1st now. good vapor/TH on both ego and 510 (even an auto 510). also, they are coming out with a new line of e-liquid made in San Diego county. they gave me some coded samples. tobacco flavors. if anyone is interested, i'll pass some along!

also bough a LR 510 atty, for my TH fix, from Liberty-Flights. they ship US orders from the Vapure office, so I was able to pick that up at the same time. which was very nice.

either i forgot how to use an atty, or this ones a dud. it just tastes like its dry, and needs to be topped off. wont get any better! ive tried everything except a dry burn and weird chemicals. about to toss it!

methinks that covers it....

 

[nicnac]

These are the two kinds of fillers that is being used in most of the cartomizers.
As you can see the one on top is a more dense type of filler that would stuff up the carto.
the one on the bottom is what is used in most boge style cartos. the ones Katya is enjoying right now (which the tru-vapor cartos were filled with originally and hopefully on the next batch also).

 

[ImYourSalt]

thanks for the visual, Nicnac!

 

[nicnac]

thanks for the visual, Nicnac!

You're welcome.
besides getting dry too fast, how did you like the Bauways compare to the old tru-vapors?
Also let me know how you like the regular boge 510 cartos

 

[ImYourSalt]

I liked the Bauway 510s. good TH, good vapor. but mine would only hold like 16 drops, and i swear it felt like i spent more time topping off than actually vaping.

I just got my BOGE cartos about 30 min ago. it's been MONTHS since i've used one of these. great vapor! good flavor! though i think the LR (2Ω) version tastes better (with my 55). and the TH is far superior on the LR version as well. the constant is the 'airy' draw. which, i must say, is very welcome after my last order of overstuffed tru-vapors.

If I can get these to last me a couple days befor burning up, i might switch over to the BG 2Ω 510's, until this tru-vapor issue gets resolved...

Hello, pups! So I survived the triple digits, the devil winds and the power outages. Nic, I hear the official city thermometer died at 113 F in LA. California dreamin'....

Salt, dear, I'm down to one last Boge and a bunch of SmokeStik cartos. I wanted to get some more Bauways but MadVapes is out. Did you get your Boges from LiteCig? Should I try those LR ones? 2Ω is living dangerously for me. [I burned every single LR carto from CoV, but they were rated just under 2Ω.] How are they doing? If you can handle them, so can I. Please let me know.

Out of my last 2 Tru-Vapor cartos, one worked like a dream for 5 days, just started tasting funky; the very last one died after 10, maybe 15 puffs. I hope Ross gets the new ones soon.

got the Boge cartos. And they are holding up pretty good. I've been taking it slow with them. I am using 1 standard, and one 2Ω carto. they both work great. i've paused to add a few drops here and there. Im taking a more preemptive approach to refilling. especially with the 2Ω. both holding up well. no burning, or 'glazing', steady flavor, and vapor. though it has only been moderate use for about 3-4 hours.

like i said, if they hold up for more than a couple days, i may have found my new brand.

all in all, wish i tried these sooner. but seeing them called LR cartos... and my experience with the Low Res Premiums from V4L... was kind of a put off. i guess i assumed they we more like 1.7Ω. anyway, i'll keep you posted, and will probably order more before the week is out regardless. they are quite good. (both, not just the LR).

my last order of Tru-Vapors was a bust. got maybe 2 weeks outta 5 packs. if these BOGE cartos last me even a day, i'm doing better.

and while i have your ear, my darling,

what about these....
Premium IKV 510 Cartomizer
and the part where it says,
"These have been specially made for perfection on 3.4-4.2V and are guaranteed not to burn."

Am I late to the party? what's the Dilly Yo!?

 

[Katya]

Salt, you're just not paying attention, sweetheart. But I have no idea what's distracting you now; Zelda hasn't been around much lately.

I feel a bit uncomfortable reviewing IkenVape's cartos because I got a 'special' selection from Isaac. You see, they were supposed to come, originally, in the 2.6Ω range and I was very happy about it because I thought it would be perfect for my Riva. But then when they got the final product, the cartos turned out to be 2.9 Ω. I was disappointed, so Isaac, bless his kind heart, went and handpicked 8 cartos from his shipment that metered at 2.6Ω or less. It was so kind of him, really. I wasn't too impressed, they seemed overstuffed and they burned easily, but it just may be that the lower resistance ones he had handpicked for me were somehow not right to begin with. They were the 'bad' cartos in the 2.9Ω batch, if you will. He may have, unwillingly, picked out all the duds for me... And they didn't really burn, they just kept dying on me. You know, burnt taste, pristine filler. Go figure.

You can order just a couple of them from him. He sells individual cartos. WitchWay liked them on her Buzz.

Yes it was hot hot hot on Monday.

If the Carto killer is using some 2Ω cartos and has managed not having them explode on him, I'd like to know where he got them from because I want some of that.
It does sound like LiteCig. Is it?

Sure does. Best price and free shipping over $15. I'll get some if you get some.

 

[nicnac]

Funny you guys were talking about these cartos because I've been debating on getting some all day and the only reason I didn't was because 3Ω sounds too high and 2Ω sounds too low. But since salt has managed to make them last more than two hours, I MUST try them.

 

[Katya]

I thought so too, but those 3Ω Boges vape surprisingly well. Tons of vapor, nice flavor and very easy draw. I'm just scared of the LR ones, but, you only live once. BTW, I had some Tru-Vapor cartos that measured 2.2Ω, so we're not so far off. I think that was the 2.2Ω Tru that died within first 10 minutes....

 

[nicnac]

Yes. All the Tru-Vapor caros I measured were 2.2Ω. So the advertised res don't mean much most of the time. you know how it is. You try 5 cartos in the same pack and they all vape different. a wild goose chase.
