Depends on the juice, and what PV are you using? I use the condom method when in a rush but honestly the spinning method is much more effective.

I've vaped cartomizers since October 09. Never going to use atties, cartos are definitely the way to go in my opinion, just a small learning curve from atomizers. You could've over filled it or maybe the quality of the cartomizer isn't that good. Where did you purchase them if I may ask?

I have used both standard 510 cartos, and 510 LR cartos on my 3.7V battery mod device. The eGo has a voltage bucking circuit in it limiting it ti ~3.2V. In my experience; the regular cartos, even at 3.7V, don't produce very significant vapor (it's functional and acceptable, but nothing fantastic)... The LR cartos can really make a dent in some juice and produce some plumes. Some people use LR atty/cartos on the eGo, but there seems to be an increased risk of over-heating and damaging the MOSFET in the bucking circuit, (rendering it useless unless you are handy with a soldering iron and know what part to order).

The spinning method is a bit misleading because it depends on the viscosity of the juice you are working with (which is dependent on VG/PG/H2O balance and temperature). Really, the "trick" to the "spin" method is not to worry about the spinning. More importantly, you want to "scrape" the drips off of the tip of the bottle of juice onto the interior of the carto tube wall such that the juice runs down the side of the can and comes into contact with the polyfill around the perimeter of the carto. When performed correctly, you can maximize the amount of juice that wicks its way into the reservoir (polyfill) while minimizing the amount of fluid that just flows down through the center and out the bottom. This is performed with the "tip" removed fromthe carto. The condom trick also works best if you remove the tip, so that you can allow some juice to pool up on top of the material; Followed by leaving it sit awhile with the condom still in place (vertically) so that the juice has a chance to absorb into the wadding.

Try the clearomizers 2.6-2.8ohm range for the eGo. You will need a syringe to fill these. They produce more flavor and vapor IMO. Easiest to fill these with are syringes with stainless steel needles. The plastic ones stink. They can be purchased from CloudsOfVapor and several other vendors. Look in your local farm store for the needles/syringes (places that sell supplies for cattle/horses).
