Cartomisers

[Jaken482]

I have some cartomisers on the way (dual coil xl) for the ego, i have not tried them and would like some information about them as i see people writing about how to fill them.

Also how long do they last you?

And is it true that they are so much better than atomisers?

Thanks

I don't use dual coils so I don't know how long they last. I use single coil 1ml cartos like Boge. How long they last depends on how well you keep them damp and how clear and thin your liquid is (mainly on how clear). It also depends on how much you vape. I use thin juices around 80PG/20VG that are light and totally clear or nearly clear. I can run about 15-20ml through a carto before it tastes/acts like I deserve a new one. For me that is 7-10 days. But since I alternate vaping 2 models, each with a carto, it's 2-3 weeks.

Cartos are not much better tasting/vaping than a new atomizer. However since you get to start a new cartomizer every week or so, it's like your setup is brand new over and over, where the atomizer just degrades and starts tasting/working less well. Cartomizers, once you learn to fill and settle and keep them damp, provide a more consistent vaping experience for most.

As Dormouse said, keeping them moist is the most important thing as far as longevity is concerned.

i have found that i get best performance out of my cartomizers if i put more juice in it when i notice the slight change in taste i am getting.
i get a couple of days of use out of each cartomizer usually.
the signal to use a new cartomizer is either a decrease in vapor or getting a mouthful of juice, which i think means the cotton fiber in no longer absorbing the juice

I've gotten a week or more out of a dual. Of course, I always keep them moist.

I dont know much about caromizers but I've been using e-liquid and its great. They come in a bunch of different flavors and strengths so you can slowley ween yourself off nicotine.

You know how to fill them? Take the rubber end piece and fill it with juice. Slowly push down on the cartomizer until it takes up the juice. Repeat about 3 times, then put a few drops on the top until it looks slushy. Let it sit a few minutes, then you are good to go.
