at high voltage cartos last longer than any atomizer has lasted me (can't speak for low voltage cos i don't use it anymore). I'm still running all my cartos from when i first got them 2 months ago, occasionally i'll clean one if i run out of a flavor or i just don't like it anymore, but these things are perfect. Never even gotten close to popping one, in fact i ran one for 2 minutes straight (mixed some bad flavors) and although the carto got hot and steamed like crazy, it still works! i was extremely worried this habit was going to get expensive, but now i just spend money on mods, not atomizers, and isn't that what we all want?
 
I got my 1st set this week from vaporflow, and I am not in the least impressed. I get hardly any vapor or taste, it`s like drawing air, and I`m not exaggerating. I don`t get all this carto business, unless I got inferior cartos. I`m vaping 3.7 V on an Ego.

I filled them using the condom method thread side if this helps.

if you can afford V4L cartos or any other premium cartos go for it (if you have a 3.7v device). Some people say that they are considered low resistance cartos which is why they produce more vapor and flavor. Personally my litecigusa cartos work fine at 3.7v and 6v, so I can recommend them, plus they're cheap and have free shipping. Best of luck, I hope your next experience with cartos is as good is mine!

I'm waiting for lower resistance carto's to become more available. Using a regular carto on a 510 eGo is horrible. No flavor, no throat hit, very little vapor. I made the mistake of buying the mega's which are higher resistance and those were even worse. (Im sure they would be great at 6V, but the 510's including the eGo only put out around 3V under load.)

I bought my first pack of Cartomizers from Drew at Nhaler which were the "Mega 510 Cartomizers" made by SBS. I'm using them with my Ego.

The Bad News: 2 of the 5 had a nasty taste right off the bat which I couldn't get rid of no matter what I did to them (rinsing, drying, even the mouthwash bath). I tore one of them apart just to see what was inside. There was no evidence of burning, but they sure had a nasty taste.

The Good News: The other three have been in almost constant rotation for about the last two weeks without a failure. I wash them out with water after 10 or so refills and let them dry out on the a/c vent overnight and then refill using the condom method. They are working great, great taste, great th and vapor. These three have been worth every bit of the original $9.00 I paid for the 5 pack.

I've pretty much stopped messing with my cartridges at this point. I've ordered the same ones (this time, blanks) from Drew and am awaiting delivery. I hope I have a better success rate with this new 5 pack. I don't understand why the other two were so horrible tasting, but such is life!

Not sure where you're getting yours from, but almost any 510 carto I've ever used (all at either 5 or 6v) have lasted me well over 2 - 3 weeks at a time. I'm sure if I cleaned them out they'd last even longer, but I'm lazy lol! I usually get mega carto's from Nhaler for the 510, and I also like liquidxpress's cartos for the price. Right now, I've had my liquidxpress 510 blank on for the last week and a half and it's still going strong on my V3. All of the ones I use have silver threads on them...never really tried the gold ones cause I've heard nothing but under par about them. BTW, Love my 4081 as well for a "take out in public" device...they're great!

So far, after a week with the Wetbox, I've gone through 3 510 cartomizers. I'm on my fourth. So 4 in 7 days is pretty bad, IMHO. I also started using cartos with my RN4081. I've only used 2 in a month, and they both still work. So I suspect either the 510s are not as well made as the RN4081s, or the Wetbox is hard on cartos.
