So wait, thats basically one ("disposable") atomizer per cartridge? That sounds potentially nifty, especially if they are durable to last after modding. Curious to see how this goes. Opinions anyone?
cartomizers rule, i've switched to them exclusively. they're just so much more satisfying than cartridges, no more juice in the mouth and whatnot either.
unfortunately i'm broke, i'm tempted to give this a shot. i'm using an 808 now and my biggest complaint is the dorky pcc.

I need to buy some, dissect one and figure out how to refill it. They don't appear to come with condoms like a KR8. One could probably be refilled with a hypodermic needle. If any of you try these, let us know what you think of them.

the biggest sticking point is if they're hard cap or soft cap. soft cap are easy as pie to refill, you just use a paperclip to pop out the stopper, fill then pop it back on. hard caps require some work since i think the stopper is glued in, i believe those require boiling to loosen up or a syringe to refill.
Buy one set of soft cap blank cartos / they come with condoms. That'll fix that. As far as Blu batts and cartos - been running 501 cartos from time to time and the batts die quicker but it is a great "smoke"! This is all proof positive, Blu reads the forums.
edit: I got an email from Blu about the cartos because I am a customer. They definitely have top-notch customer service.

will I once tried blu still use it sometimes,but now they are selling cartomizers.Said they will fit batteries I have now..I might order 1 box just to see..only I hesitate because last order took 3 weeks to get shipped to me...I am very curious...I,ll let you guy know if I order...and give the results..I using my 808 for now more reliable...
I just got the email yesterday, will be ordering a box monday to try them out. If they are good, and hopefully refillable, that may stop some of the bad press with Blu's. I've liked mine, but the issue really is the cartridges aren't reliable, don't last very long, and are a PITA to refill. will post once i've tried them out.
Yes ma'am that's why I ended up being almost completely drip tip..... After a few months of filling, I had my fill, so to speak. But, no I didn't stop refilling Blu carts within the week!
You know, come to think of it, I started dripping when the longer atty bridge was being sent to us. With the short ones they always seemed to pick up liquid fine. Fluval foam mod worked great. I still believe every Blu package should have been sent with a paperclip right in the pack!

I hoping the new carts work I ordered 2 boxes full flavored.Where there is a will there is a way to refill,I mean they had to get the eliquid in there some how one would think..I think it has johnson creek ejuice...

Now the waiting game begins!!

I just ordered my first blu cartos. Sadly, they appear not to carry "Vivid Vanilla" in carts. That was a favorite.
My order said shipped 8 hours after my order, we'll see. Yeah the vivid vanilla isn't there, and I LOVED that stuff. Instead went for the Java Jolt which is my second favorite. Too bad the Menthol isn't the same as the bottled menthol I get from JC, which is awesome. I ordered two packs, one tobacco for the Hubs, and Java Jolt for me, we'll see where this leads. I think, but am not certain that 306 cartomizers fit on the blu, will have to investigate.
I was just web surfing that 306/Blu connection yesterday. The consensus I got is that 306 does fit Blu. I've never had a 306 so I don't know anything about them but apparently the "soft cart" is a giant selling point. I think the 306's must be like small KR808 carts, with a soft tip that just pries easily off and lets you drip juice into it. That would be very cool.
I'm sorry to hear the menthol in the Blu carts isn't the JC menthol. I wonder why not. So is the "magnificent menthol" that's in previous incarnation of Blu carts not what is in these new carts?

Thanks for the news, Higuchem. I guess I'll be waiting for "vanilla season", LOL. Fingers crossed.
Well, I got my cartomizers today. That was, by far, the fastest Blu shipping I've ever experienced.
So, the cartomizers - yes they are like tiny KR808s, complete with an end cap that can be pried off. It appears that they have the standard guts. There is the wicking medium like in other carts, with a center tube. The hole you suck through is a little bigger than on the old carts. The draw is better.
As I said, the end cap does come off, but not with a paper clip like on a KR808. It isn't a 'soft cap', but rather hard plastic. I used one of those thin, inch long nails to get it off. It popped back on with no problem, the plastic held up well to prying. I can see this is going to be easily refillable.
I have only tried Classic Tobacco so far and it tastes okay. I can't tell if it's "old", "new", Johnson Creek, or what... but the Full Flavor is mild and there's a little throat hit.
I think I'm really going to like this change.

I currently have been using a 3.7v bottom-feeder made by oldgoat(Ron) that I use with a LR cartomizer. I fill the carto first via the condom method and then stick it on this little mod. The present LR carto is on it's 2nd week now. It has been working like a champ all day and all night.
I love using cartomizers.

Will got the new blu carts.Looks like a small 808 cart.I sure like the atomizer and carts all in one now,not the old ones..
So far vaping on high classic for 30 minutes now,taking a big draw every couple minutes small th and good vapor...Its even fit my original batterys..I dont know how long batts will last being a bigger carts than the first blu carts..
Taste a little better than original flavor...comparing lengths of 808 and blu I think are about the same length.. Diameter on carts blu a little less..Looks like it can be refilled hard cap..
