Granted I've only had my Little Chuck for 3 days, but I've only used cartomizers on them. I started with a KR808D as my first so I didn't have any atty's/carts etc.

Haven't noticed any issues at all and as mentioned I don't let them get down to the burned taste before refilling. I've got a couple of carto's I've probably refilled 8 or 10 times so far. Out of the 20 or so carto's I've accumulated to date, I've only tossed 2 or 3 out (pre-Little Chuck) because I over-vaped them to the point the filler was pretty crispy (noob error).

You can get them a few (very few) places. I got mine from Nhaler. Word of warning the western tobacco flavor that comes in them tastes like dog crap. So if you have a choice get something different.
I heard Drew was sending some of his juices to the manufacturer to get some prefilled with the good stuff so you might want to wait.

Edit: I just checked Nhaler. He's got 5 packs for 12.50 (he only had 10 packs for 25 when I got mine). He's also only got the western tobacco. If you really hate it (like I did) you can just sop it out with a paper towel. It still takes a couple runthroughs to get it completely out though.

I can get through a whole day on two of them filled.

Worth checking out for 12 bucks though.

I just ordered 5 blanks from vapor kings... seems they limit them to 5... However, I never tried a cartomizer so I guess thats good for now... I am stricly 510 and can only vape VG. Can't wait to try my ECOpure in them... One of the MAIN reasons I got them was the fact that 510s draw SOOOO much more power then any other atty out there, which in turn drains the battery much faster... I want to be a carto convert, but not sure if I'll like the VP or TH as much as the 510 *crosses fingers*

On another note... Eastmall has 25 Blanks for $25 and 50 Blanks for$50...If all goes well, I will order some and switch

Now where is my carto/510 adapter from ALtsmoke already... Better yet, PLEASE let me see my Pr0n tonight!!!

No problem brother, I also am looking forward to the lack of attention needed for the 510 (although it doesnt really bother me a bit), wouldnt mind some plug and play here and there...

I'm not using GC cartos, no hair for me (idc what you say lol, if it's not hair what is it????),

I'll survive on vapor4life's.

Well, if it was hair it would instantly burn. I think it's a synthetic fiber of some sort (at first I was thinking fiberglass, but I kinda doubt that too).
Anyway it's a great wicking material that keeps the filler away from the heat, so you don't get any burnt taste.
That's the only thing I don't like about the 808s. (aside from only holding about half the juice of a GC). The heating element is incased in filler, so there's no way to avoid getting that taste even when it's freshly filled with juice.

Oh well, to each his own, but I was just saying, if you like the idea of using cartos, it's worth spending the 12 bucks to check the GC's out. They hold more juice, taste better, and hit better. IMO

Thanks, I'll check 'em out--do you know if anyone's posted a GC carto refilling vid or method yet?
