i still think the cartos without the wire [your yellow one] perform a little better. is that next on your try-out list?
one more question, with your huge selection of cartos have you come across any identical to the truemans?

I received both in the Trueman's coop order. Although both were above average in terms of performance and not burning, I too have to say I preferred the yellow (the horizontal). It's odd but I can't even quite articulate why. I'm a heavy vapor...used it 5 days (although switched off) and filled it multiple times. There was barely a scorch mark on it.

I know there has been some disagreement on this but I just got the Good Prophets 4081 prefilled and they are identical to these (horizontal). Same yellow color, same caps, same everything.

yeah, neo, trueman had shortchanged us on the yellows so everybody pretty much ended up with some blacks. don't know if you read that but trueman's answer to my questions concerning the different styles was the black ones are newer, and supposedly improved.
i believe there was a difference in filler material compared to the gp cartos. katya and/or ww had them side by side.
if your gp cartos just came compare the materials when you're done

I will post it here the minute Ross tells me he has them in stock. :) By then he should have some new mystery flavors he is working on as well.....

I can't even remember how I found this store but sure glad I did !

Here's a tip for anyone going to Vapors Etc for the first time...it's just a little oddity about their website/shopping cart....you can't check out as a guest. So first thing you do is open an account so you have a user name and password..then log in...that way no hassles or backtracking when you go to check out.

Yes, I did see that Trueman's said the black ones were newer and improved. Which bummed me out (although the black ones are miles better than the standard Kanger 808).

I actually kept the filler material from the yellow Trueman (I KNEW there was a reason I kept a piece of filler!!) so I can compare that to the GP filler after I finish with one.

Okay....so that's good to know. Anyone else have a preference on the Truemans? Right now Ross says he just ordered the 510's...apparently enough people are happy with the Kanger KR8's that he will continue to offer them as well. But this thing about exactly which style of Truemans people will recieve appears to be a little confusing. So it would be good for him to know exactly what ya'll want.

also be sure and read the scrolling banner at VE....it will list flavor of the week as well as the current coupon code...today it's "vapors" for 10% off.

Hi everyone....good news! Vapors Etc
has informed me that they have a tracking number on the XL batteries...and...drumroll please.....Softcap,colored Trueman cartos!!!! woohoo!!!! I am double checking but I believe Ross will be carrying both the KR8's and the 510's. I doubt he will carry the 4081'a as he does not carry those batteries. But if there was a big enough interest in adapters for the KR8 batteries to 4081 cartos and the 4081 cartos I'm sure he would order some .....so check in here and let me know how many of you would like to be able to use 4081 cartomizers with Kr8 or 510 batteries.

that is good news, lori, as long as they are truemans
basically, the 510s should be the same as the 4081s, or 808s save for the fitting. we should know for sure soon. i believe ww is getting a 510 trial carto from clumsy who participated in the trueman co-op and was willing to donate one carto for our experiments

I got my mega cartos today and am very happy with them. I have to thank Kentc for the filling tips - I threw away that inside baffle and am filling through the mouthpiece wih the bottle underneath that Scott suggested. Still messy but it's getting better as I'm getting used to it. I 'm trying .5 ml in the syringe at a time so there isn't too much running out of the battery end. Fill it 4 times and it's done ( though I still have a bunch of paper towels at hand
just in case).

Thanks for the help filling - I got empty ones from WordupEcig so I had to fill them from the start. They're out of them already.

My preference is definitely for KR8's, if he's wondering. :confused:

....really do work nice for these cartos by a top fill. You just have to make sure you make it through the middle sealed hole. So far, I've never had any ejuice come out the batt end. I suppose you could do the batt end plug and spin method too if you really thought you needed the full 5-6 hours without refill.

Ok so this is a mega reply post as I've been too busy to get here more than once a day right now. I'll snip everything I can to keep it shorter :)

i still think the cartos without the wire [your yellow one] perform a little better. is that next on your try-out list?
one more question, with your huge selection of cartos have you come across any identical to the truemans?

I'm using the yellow one right now. I'll let you know what I think when I've used it for a few days. Actually right now I like the black one better, at least for the moment. The Trueman ones with the wire are similar to Kanger cartos, but the Trueman ones have much better filler in them. I've never seen another 4081 built like these. The filler reminds me of the filler in the SS cartos. The yellow Trueman ones with the coil, I believe are the same as GP ones. I just got some GP ones so I'll use one of those and do a side by side on both of them when I'm done. GP's come prefilled though.

I know there has been some disagreement on this but I just got the Good Prophets 4081 prefilled and they are identical to these (horizontal). Same yellow color, same caps, same everything.

There we have it. Thank you Neo!! Now I don't have to do a side by side :)

i believe there was a difference in filler material compared to the gp cartos. katya and/or ww had them side by side.
if your gp cartos just came compare the materials when you're done

Ut oh now we're back to a side by side :lol: Neo can beat me to it :)

Ross says he just ordered the 510's. But this thing about exactly which style of Truemans people will recieve appears to be a little confusing. So it would be good for him to know exactly what ya'll want.

Thank you Lori, I'm so happy you keep on top of all this :) I have not received the Trueman 510s yet to know what they are like. Anybody know if they have the wire in the center or the horizontal coil?

Also I received my Aqua Vapor 510 cartos. They are SLBs. I thought they were suppose to be something different. Did I get the wrong thing?

i believe ww is getting a 510 trial carto from clumsy who participated in the trueman co-op and was willing to donate one carto for our experiments

With the holiday weekend I'm sure mail is being slow, maybe I'll get them tomorrow. I'll report when I do.

I got my mega cartos today and am very happy with them.

Oh cool zelda!! I made such a mess with mine the other day that I sat it off to the side until I have the time to try again. The mess was totally my fault, trying to rush things. I have some blanks coming as well.

Welcome. Zelda - these....

I just got mine in today, thank you for suggesting those!! I already ordered 3 more so I can have them for all my different juice flavors. They sure do make things easier, no matter what kind of carto or even if you drip!


Happy Vaping!!!

still the same on 510's, hopefully my order slips past.

Nope I think they have relaxed it to just the 808's being restricted. See below extract from e-liquid.cn:

Sorry TEMPORALY " 808D-(1) Not available for USA market"

We are sorry to inform you that we cannot offer the 808D-(1) edition 2 cartomizers to the USA market as we have entered into an exclusive sales agreement with another USA company which for company policy we chose to not disclose today who they are. However we are still able to offer Joye 510, M-series EDITION 2 (the 808D-(1) only temporaly our standard cartomizers) and all other e-cig products

Just my $0.02

E-liquid Web Shop CN 30 PCS 510 Filled C-E2 Cartomizers

30x 510 Edition 2 cartos for $20 and the shipping is $25.. would be an awesome coop for us carto junkies!

brought this quote over from pif but now see it was not necessary, we were on top of it already!!!!!!!

Ok so this blurb has now been added to the RoyalSmokers site about the Edition 2 Cartomizers.

RoyalSmokers electronic cigarette factory in Shenzhen

TEMPORALLY " 808D-(1) Not available for USA market Pre-order here V4L-Vapor King"

if there is enough interest we could try to get a few people together for a combined order. their shipping policy is not the best but maybe doable
i would be interested in the m401 and 4081s

thanks, witchway for slugging through all those trials and side by sides!!!!!!!!

Soooo, the cat is out of the bag!!! Nice work, Witchy!:D:D:D

Just read your post on V4L subforum!

Tibur, we may want to wait for Steve's response. If those cartos will be available from V4L shortly, why don't we try them first. Co-op is a nice idea, but the shipping charges from China are outrageous. I wrote to them in May, I think it was, and they charge 19 bucks for shipping of 30 cartomizers. 35 bucks for 60, etc. I'd be interested in a co-op but only if those cartomizers are really good; if they are not, we'd be wasting a lot of money. What do you think?

"We" have tried them first....Ben has tryed them. He says the very first one he tried tasted like melting plastic on a PT. On a regular battery most of them tasted fine. But occaisionally he would get that burnt plastic taste....as he put it...."a dangerous chemical type of flavor".

So caveat empor with them......(buyer beware)

doh!....speaking of Ben...I'm using one of the new Turbos now....great new cap design! Easily held 20 drops and still has a nice light but not airy draw. That's Vapor Nine Turbo carts if your just now finding us. :) (KR808D-1)
