Carto Convert

[Barefoot Joe]

I have been dripping exclusively since I started vaping. Received my first 510 cartos from Ikenvape today. Although I have to use another mod for my 510 at 3.7 volts, and not my beloved Super Six, I already know after a few hours that I am not going back. A low resistance 510 carto at 3.7 volts is comparable to my 801 at 6 volts with a high volt atty. The amount of vapor is there, the vapor tastes better, I feel safer with one battery, and the convenience of a carto is wonderful! Now I can't wait for my P6 to stick the cartos on. Put my name on the carto-convert list!

While I've had a love hate relationship with cartos, I'm hoping these tricks will work. I've been using LR BE112's lately, but maybe once I receive my P16 the clearomizers will be my bread and butter.

If you have not tried them yet I would buy a LR306 atty and give it a try, with 3.7v it gives you the vapor production and warmth of 5v vaping. The best of both worlds.

I haven't tried them, but they look interesting. How's the taste? My biggest concern is switching from 6 to 3.7 volts. I always liked the taste at 3.7 volts better, but the TH and vapor production are a little lacking. That's one reason I was so happy with the cartos that I got. Taste and vapor production are both there. I've wanted a Precise since I saw one, but the voltage put me off, for a while; I ended up pulling the trigger and ordering one anyway. I'm enjoying the cartos on another 3.7 V mod, so I'm sure I will love it when the P16 gets here.

The taste is great with the LR306 atty just make sure you buy a drip tip to go on it. Hint for David to hurry up on the SS 306 Drip tips!!!

Oh and a great TH

Okay, you have convinced me, a 306 is on the "to-try" agenda.

As for cartomizers....I have to temper the enthusiasm in my first post after using a carto for a few days. I was basing what I said on a fresh, newly filled carto. I have noticed that after a few refills (3-4), or a few days (2), the draw has become stiffer, the vapor production lessened (still fair), but, most of all, the taste has become more harsh. I stuck on a new carto, filled it up, and back to vaping bliss square one. I am in the process of experimenting with cleaning a carto. It's on the stove boiling in hot water right now. I plan to give it a vodka soak after a few minutes in the pot. If that revives it to near or like new, then I just have to decide if it is worth the hassle of cleaning, or if cartos are cheap enough to just use for a few days, then pitch and use a new one.

I'll post back. I'm just looking to find the best option for my "being finished right now!!!!" P16.

Which IKV 510 Cartos did you get Barefoot? I think my friend, who is wanting to stop smoking, would be better off with cartos and I love IKV products. My friend has had his eGo for quite a while and has been back and forth with smoking and vapeing and I think cartos would be so much better for him, less hassle.

Hi Miss Bella. I got the Premium IKV 510 Cartomizer (Soft-tipped) Platinum, primarily because that is the only one he had in stock. I plan to get some 306's there too. I guess he is re-designing them (306's), and the new design has not hit the shelves yet. I see you have some LR 306s from him. Looks like we are going to have the same device/atomizer combo when the P16's get delivered (and the 306's are back for sale). Think it will be great. I'm anxious to see how these cartos work on the P16 too.

This is why I'm working with the thread I linked to earlier. I've always liked the first 10 puffs off a carto, but after that it's burnt tastes and leaking juice. I'm holding out in hopes these self-made clearomizers will do the trick. I'm starting to shy away from my BE112s - especially since I'll have to use an adapter with the P16.

I just got the 510 XL CE2 Edition 2 Clear Cartomizers and they are freakin awesome! No nasty yucky primer taste at all, just tons of vapor and tons of flavor! Plus with them being clear I know exactly when to refill them, which is just what I need lol. I am in a happy place right now vaping my head off lol. Just thought I would share.

Where, Royal Smokes? Are they in China? What kind of shipping time? Just trying to find the ultimate carto or atomizer partner for my upcoming P16!

* Bella...I have been looking at the website. They do look great. It looks as though orders are of 100; is that true? I'll keep digging on the site unless you can tell me where to buy a smaller quantity. I would like to hear what you think after a few days of use. A pic of one on your P16, when you get it, would be nice!

 

[leroytwohawks]

Joe you can get them here: 510 XL CLEAROMIZER 2.4-2.6 OHM I just got some in for my buddy, he likes them.

Gotvapes.com sales them but they are waiting on there shipment I believe and are out of stock. Cloudsofvapor.com has them also I believe. I have 3 of mine filled up with different juices in each one and it is vaping heaven to me! I never thought I would like a carto so darn much! I have been told and read many post that the 2.8 - 3.0 are the best of the best. I have the 2.4 - 2.6 and they are a lil warm for my taste but still freakin awesome. I will make sure and take a pic with these cartos on my P16 when I get it as well as do a review video with a few different options put on it. I will try and find other companies that might have these in stock, try to do a search, that might help too I would have to say that you will love them. If you get them, the easiest way to fill them, in my opinion is to take the top off of them, remove the 1st silicone ring, then take out the next silicone piece, fill it up just below the ceramic white cup, and only put the 1st silicone ring back in the way you took it out and put the tip on and start vaping To me it's simple and I can use one of these all day. I'm sure there will be some days when I might need more than one but these are perfect for me. Oh and I am going to do a video review of them tonight too

[Bella Chic]

I'm a 510 girl, that's all I own. Video review is up so click on the youtube link in my signature and go take a look Again, they are awesome

Hey Bella, I'm getting this message on youtube after clicking on your link in the sig:

"This channel is no longer available because the user closed their account"

 

[Bella Chic]

It is fixed now Vaporologist Sorry about that! I don't know why it did that but I went in and fixed the sig link.

 

[Vaporologist]

[Bella Chic]

No problem at all...glad to help

Try the Boge 2.0 carto. I like them better than the CE2. More vapor, more throat hit, and flavor is about the same. Pretty close to my old favorite, the LR BE112, and much more convenient.
