Salt, Baby, you know that all the R&D for Royal Smokers is done here by Badkolo, BR, Banjo and all the other sciency guys... They are doing a great job, IMO, and I'm beginning to see some glimmers of light at the end of this tunnel. They are not ready for prime time, and they don't generally work out of the box yet, but some lucky people already got their E2 cartomizers that actually could be filled and vaped as is. I wasn't one of those people, mind you.
I mean, don't some of the people that work there see room for improvement? And don't you think some of them would have the means, or the know how to put those positive changes into place? And wouldn't it be so much faster if they sat down, and really though about it, instead of mass producing large quantities, then selling them all to us, just so we can tell you what's wrong with them?
I just feel like we should be further along than we are with this. I am grateful for all the hard work that has been done, and the progress we've made.
I'm just not satisfied yet. feel me?
Yeah, I took several of them apart and I didn't like what I saw. But they taste great... for awhile. I'm actually surprised, because Joyetech makes good atties; however, they need to improve their cartomizers.
Some people...
I know. But I just inspected a new carto from IKV and it sure looks very much like the Tuofan 510 cartos I got from AZ Smoke Free. The 'good' ones, with the loose filler.
Alright. I didn't know AZ sold those... I can't find them.
And how are the Tru-style cartos they carry? I forgot what the consensus was. Are they like the original run? Or a close 2nd?
Are you using 2.0Ω cartos on 180 mAh batteries? How long do the batteries last, 15 minutes?
Surprisingly, those batteries you sent me (I had to keep 'em once I tried these cartos!), are not doing bad at all. 3 of them seems to get me through the day fine. I usually have a RIVA in my pocket, and one on the desk, and one in the carrying case, just in case
When the battery runs out though, they don't just blink and die like most batt's. They just give really , ehem, poor hits for a while. Like i'll get a good hit. then nothing, then the next hit is good, but then nothing... not sure if thats how they normally behave, or if it's maybe a little bit of their lifespan running out.
Dont really care though. It's one hell of a hit, for such a small device. And I can vape it like a cigarette. I appreciate manual buttons, but i still dont love them.
Hey Salt!!! Thanks for the info. Time for me to start carto hammering. Glued in wicks!!!
My pleasure, Sweet Cheeks!
I actually just squoze them betwixt a pair of pliers. The atty connector popped right out. I only noticed the glue, when I tried to pull it off, and ended up using scissors to cut the batting, which is also glued into the air channel. weird...
Sorry I wasn't more specific.

I looked at the site you recommended for Bauways. They have two kinds of Bauway 510 cartos: 2.8Ω and LR (1.7Ω). Which ones are you using? The interesting thing is that Madvapes lists their Bauways at 2.5Ω. This is very confusing. I can't imagine that Bauway makes both 2.5 and 2.8Ω 510 cartos...
They will make anything you want, if the money's right. S*, I mean... Heck! If we can get enough people together, We could have Bauway, or Boge, Or whomever make us cartos however we want. We can order a specific resistance, and even tell them to use a fuller that is not so dense. If we want a horizontal coil, I'm sure that's doable too. things like changing the resistances, and the filler should be relatively cheap things to ask for, and not require such a high MOQ. While asking them to make changes to the design or function, make cost more, and have a higher MOQ.
While I have you, Katya, How do you feel about these drip tippy cartos? How are they holding up? I always had these feeling like they were just some gimmick.
