Cartomizer questions

[Sprizzle]

I am currently filling carts for the 510 and I don't think it is that big of a deal, as everything I need for work fits in the PCC. The thing that interests me about filling blank cartomizers is keeping flavors separate. Currently if I swap flavors there is some carry over because some of the flavor stays on the atty (even if I blow it). Now it isn't that big of a deal for some flavors, as they complement each other. But some of the flavors do not really complement each other and I would actually like to taste apple w/o kona flavor

My husband is currently using cartomizers from vapor king, he bought an adapter so that it fits on the 510 battery. I have also seen a few posts where people buy adapters and some posts were people just buy 510 cartomizers.

I am wondering if there is any difference between the two sizes - quality, flavor, amount of juice it holds, vapor production, life span or anything else that I can't think of at the moment. I would really prefer to not have to use an adapter but if there is a significant difference between the two I will probably just buy the adapter and hope that the thing doesn't fly out of my hands and land somewhere that I can't reach If there is no real difference, I am looking at the 510 cartomizers from LitecigUSA unless anyone can suggest another place to buy them? Is there a difference in quality from different vendors?

...another question to add... what is the difference in the mega cartomizer and just a regular one (besides the mega holds more liquid)? Will they both fit on a 510 and an Ego?

Thanks!

I'm looking at getting cartos right now also, and not sure to get the adapter and the KR8's or just the 510 cartos. So please if anyone can pop some info in here on the two would appreciate it.

There is a post in the electronic cigarette reviews section called "cartomizers reviewed" that I think could answer some of your questions.

Yes, easy to refill carts & snap off/on change.
Something to consider is you need spare attys which should be kept wet ...
Have you tried the cartomizers & he tried the carts?
I am not impressed w/ the cartomizers.

The mega cartos I got fit fine on my eGo, BUT the ones I got at least have a higher resistance on the atomizer in them and it was advertised as having a cooler vapor, but the truth is they just suck on a 510. You have to suck your brains out to get any decent vapor production. I should have known, but the vendor recommended them over the regular cartos. I would stick to using the mega's on a device that puts out higher voltage than a typical 510.

He has tried the carts. He doesn't seem to mind them when I fill them up for him I did try the cartomizers he has. I filled up one of the ones he emptied. I thought that it does not draw as easy as the carts, but it is also not a 510 cartomizer.

Thank you Buzzy for pointing me to the "cartomizers reviewed" thread, that was very helpful. Thank you Ricky59 for answering that question. I was also a little confused about the megas.

I think I am going to go ahead and purchase some of the 510 cartomizers. If I don't like them as much as I like carts I will just use them for some of the more corrosive juices (like clove - which I really would like to try).

The 510 cartomizers and the mega 510 appera to be the same. Just some suppliers call them mega, and yes, they fit on 510 and ego. They hold about 25-30 drops for me when new and empty. Remember that they don't last forever. Top them off by your favorite refill method when flavor and vapor start to drop off.
