"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)

Which one he tried the V2 carto's?

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?

that sounds like the right way to go
we wait and see how the 808s turn out

Anyone tried the new 510 cartomizers (Edition 2) from e-liquid.cn? It comes to 47.33 for 30 cartos. I don't think it's bad when you consider that it works out to about 7.89 for a 5-pack shipped. Any state-side vendor will surely mark it up to that or over for a 5-pack, plus add their shipping on top of that. I just ordered 30 as I'm curious about the no filler carto and if it taste like dripping. I'm not sure how long it will take to get the package, but I'll let you know how it goes.

Welcome. Zelda - these....

....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.

Maybe we should come over your house for lessons. :)

I've made a mess the last day or so but I know I'm not being patient so my fault. I am getting the hang of it Like you say as long as you get the needle through that middle hole you'll be fine.

I realized I'm plungering the liquid too fast instead of going slow and letting it soak in. I slowed down too day and so far no liquid is coming out of the battery end.

I also drip a little bit through the battery end here and there. I remember doing that with the greencig cartos and it worked well.

Thanks again.

so I'm just now using this Ego carto on my Riva.....thank you WW! Not sure I understand the refill thing....guess I need to go back a few dozen pages :) I did try adding a couple drops to the battery end and then blowing it out just to make sure I didn't fry it right off...it leaks like a sieve. But I'm sitting here looking at this bottom cap/condom thinking...hmmmm...now there must be something useful one of us can think up to do with this thing. LOL

ps...I've decided the ultimate e-cig mod is a pair of BDU camos...a Smoke Stik case in each trash pocket and your good to go all day. :)


anybody else know anything about V4L changing the switch on their auto batteries to a sound activated instead of a pressure activated???? Not that I care....I'm buying my next batch of batteries from Ross....for the hubby that is....auto XLkr8s with 510 cartos...I think he's finally happy!

Lorikay, did Ben say if they contain any kind of filler? Their site says "no cotton," whatever that means. Just curious.

Sojourner, I agree that price is OK if you know that you want and like them. I'm just hesitant to order 30 cartos and pay $19 shipping charges only to discover that I hate them. I'm a cautious bird....

Steve didn't give a date, so it might be a while till he puts them up for sale. But if those new Turbos are as good as Lorikay says, I can wait. I love the Turbos, and I love my 4081s (all of them, really, SS, GP, Trueman). Rob at Good Prophets is still waiting for the blanks; his order never arrived... And I'm hoping Aquavapor will get their blanks in soon so we can try those. I also like some of those newer 510 cartos, like the IkenVape (SLB) that I got from WitchWay. It was my favorite, so far.

Tibur, SmokeStik, Good Prophets and Trueman were identical inside, per my autopsies. I can't tell if they are made differently or from different materials, but by just looking at them, I coudn't detect any major differences. You can see the pictures in posts 887 and 889 in this thread. The only 4081 that was different was the wordupecig one. No upper inner tube, different kind of filler, airier draw.

Honest, there is so much going on in the carto world right now, and it's all good, IMO.

So what's the latest on the giant eGo cartomizers? Do they burn? Anybody managed to toast one yet? :D:D:D:D:D

I ordered the 510 cartos from aquavapor and they are SLB. The difference is they had SLB put in a soft rubber cap which makes things a bit easier. I agree with you these 510 cartos are great.

Also spoke to Erica at aquavapor today and the delay in getting the 4081 cartos is the supplier didn't want to fill them with aquavapors liquid and they are not happy with the liquid the manufacturer of the cartos uses. They were finally able to make a deal and they are being manufactured now. They expect to get them soon. I can say for sure the one I tested that Charlie from aquavapor sent was the best quality carto I have used. Can't wait.

Thanks for the heads up. SLB 510s with a soft rubber cap? Good!!!

I've been waiting for the blank 4081s, but hopefully they will arrive together with the prefilled ones. So you were one of the lucky testers? Good for you. And you really liked them? Nice.... :)

so...through working some magic...pulling some strings...whatever you want to call it...seems I'm probably getting about 5 of the royalsmoker 808D-1 cartos to try out

we'll see how that goes as they're going to the UK then to someone else in the states and then to me..so who knows V4L might get theirs first...


lol, Drozd, I'm sure you'll get them by Christmas! :p

WOW so much goes on here :) I'm so lazy tonight I'm not even going to try to reply to everything.

Follow up on the Ego Carto problem and TW. They have notified the manufacturer and the problem is getting fixed and they are sending me new cartos. Very good service from TW on this.

Received my Trueman 510s from ClumsyGirl today. They are built like the SLBs but seem to have different filler. This filler is like the one in the Trueman 4081 with the vertical wire. This filler is similar to the SS filler which seems to make a very big difference. I'll use this one for several days and see if it burns or not, then take it apart and post pics.

Very excited to hear about the new E2 cartos when someone finally gets some. I keep going to the site then talking myself out of buying them. I'm sure I'll end up ordering some though :lol:


Happy Vaping!!!

you laugh but then I'm sending one on to you to test out so if that's the case you might get yours sometime Febuaryish :evil:

overseas mail has not been the fastest lately, that's why i discounted the idea of involving my brother in germany for the time being

I ordered and paid for my Edition II's several weeks ago. The order is still in the processing stage so I am not sure how long the whole process will take.

They have not even shipped it yet :(

Oh well.... I knew I would have to be patient with a China order.... I am in no rush.

Just talked to them today, said nothing about not being able to send them, said they'd ship today.

i wonder if they're still in the production stage? or maybe they waited on the outcome of the exclusive rights negotiations?

all orders i had from china shipped within days
