Cartomizers: To polyfill or not polyfill

[Samurai671]

I've recently ordered cartomizers with polyfill and am awaiting my order. So far I've been using the non-polyfill clearomizers from Volcano which I like very much. I have used replacement cartomizers for the Tube tank which do use polyfill, but was wondering which is better? I know it all comes down to personal preference but just wanted to know what the veterans think.

I've been through 3 variants of "clearomizer", eGo-T attys (A&B-LR & SR), Boge Cartos, Bauway Cartos, Leo Cartos, Go-Go cartos, 808 cartos, etc.

The best carto I've ever found (and the one I vape exclusively) is the single coiled, polyfill smoktech 1.7

They call them the resurrectors since they've been allowing people to bring their eGo batts back from the dead.

The best bet with polyfill cartos is to keep them wet (bottom feed, tank, or drip-top ups). I usually push 20-30mls through the 1.7 before I reach for a new one.

I have various tanks (MAP, Cartzilla, CE2s), and various SC and DC poly-filled cartos, regular capacity, XL, and strangely huge. I personally favor Boge LR (2.0 - 2.4 ohm) poly-filled cartos for my fat bats and 18650 mod. Sometimes I'll use a tank, but most often its the Boge LRs. They just do it for me in terms of hit, vapor quality and flavor. I use a drip tip on them, easy to top off, and use them for a couple days or so before tossing them in a mug for future cleaning. I get 4 or 5 cycles out of most of them.

Lately I have been enjoying the 510-t bats. 3.7V autos. My VG juices don't wick well in the 510-t carts, but a 3.0 ohm poly-filled or CE2 clearo on them are very nice. A soft rubber drip tip allows comfy puffing while the hands are busy with other things. I find those combos to be very satisfying.

Of the tanks I've tried, the Cartzilla (ecigexpress) is the best I have tried, but then I've not tried any of the tanks that hold a carto inside. Downside of big tanks for me is I rarely want to just vape one flavor for hours and hours. I prefer smaller cartos and drip into them whatever I want. But I also want more time with it than an atty will give.

As with everything here, YMMV, and personal favorites of one person can be dreadful for someone else.
