carto's the good the bad the ugly

[skullfreak]

I would like to keep a list here of all the cartos good and bad.

So if you like post your favorites and the one's you dont like.

If you disagree with someone's post just keep it to yourself.

We should see whats the best if we get enough post's

(good) 510 boge reg res

(bad) All clearomizers 510, 510 boge lr

fav's none yet

(good) I've fallen in love with the Smoketechs. I keep a TON of the 2.0 ohm around now, as thats the absolute favorite for the wife. I prefer the 4 ohm ones though for the Provari. I'm getting a good solid week or more at 6ml a day out of these, wifey is getting 2 weeks or more before she just leaves it laying somewhere and looses it, lol

(good) CE2R4 to cut up and put in my MAP tank as replacements

(middle) Boge-- they work, just nothing spectacular
(middle) SLB-- they work, nothing spectacular either

(bad) clear CE2R4-- I can break them while opening the packaging they are in.
(bad) Joye-- just not what they used to be

 

[Scottitude]

Your first post kind of nails it, at least in my experience.

Good/Best: SR Boge 510 Soft-Tip.

Worst: Anything "mega" and all variations of CE2s including those with a catchy prefix (Clearo-, Flüxo-, etc.).

I have tried many different cartos and it comes down to one that works every time for me without an issue, I prefer the SLB 510 carto, it just seems to give me the best flavor and vapor.

The carto I least prefer are the Boge 510 regular or LR. I do not know what it is with me and these but I can not get them to work for anything. I have given them a try at least a dozen times but have never gotten one to work correctly.

Who sells the SLB carto? I know i tryed them but it was awhile ago.

For me the only cartos I like are the verticle element type:

The Iken Gold V2 is really good and I like the Boge LR 2.0 ohm.

Never liked the joye 510 cartos or any carto using a coiled element buried in a sea of wadding.

 

[skullfreak]

just looked Iken out of the gold v2

Glad I ordered 10 this morning. Looks like they sold 300 or more in a few hours.

I grabbed 10 too!!!! Those things went as soon as the email (newsletter) hit. Less than 16 hours to sell out! Damn they are good.

Skullfreak - He is supposed to get a shipment this week through Customs. I am not sure if more of the v2's will show up but the 306's should be there. If you really want one PM me your address and I will drop one in the mail. If you like it and get some in a few weeks you can mail one back to me. Just let me know

I'm hitting a gold v2 right now (my first) and I'm on day 9 with it. To be honest I haven't been using it exclusively because I just can't decide if I like this thing or hate it. The draw on it is so airy (even removed the drip tip and inserted a soft cap plug), but it is still very airy. Now maybe this is how they should be and I'm just use to the boges I've been using. I think I'm maybe liking it better each day and need to adjust how I hit it, but performance wise, taste/vapor production etc.., has been very good. Also the filler looks just like it did 9 days ago.

Good Thread here! I like seeing what other folks do & don't like.
My favorites; Boge regular 510 cartos & V4L KR808 cartos.

OK in a pinch; Boge LR 510 cartos, Joye Ego Jumbo cartomizers (OK to vape, but I don't like the little fill hole).
Also - generic 510 cartos...can't seem to find any that don't have a funny taste.

Hate: All those ceramic C2 thingies or whatever they're called, & clear-flux-anybrand-mizers too.
In my opinion, they all have too much heat too close to the top. I prefer a cooler vape.

 

[Jonner]

My fave: Boge LR 510 (2.0 ohms), which is funny because no one else seems to like them.

My dislikes: CE2-4e or like above says-whatever they're called, they just do nothing for me-no taste, no vapor, nada.

I just have to say that regarding the Boge LR 510 2.0's you mention...I ordered a bunch since I couldn't get regular ohm, and they're kind of growing on me...Not as bad as I feared, and I think I'm actually liking them as much as regulars!

Damn and I just bought 2 - 5 packs of those fluxomisers too!!!!! After trying a MAP (yes giving the CE-2 line another shot after about 10 failed attempts using various revisions!) I thought maybe just maybe they would be along the lines of the bigger MAP. BTW that MAP does work good and does not have that god aweful taste I was getting from all the standard CE-2's.

 

[skullfreak]

Can't wait to try the new Ikv ones.
Ski hurry up and send me one.lol

OK I am feeling nice so I will send one with a DT. My order without DT's is a few days away. I am sitting on 15 so no issue. Enjoy and someday do the same for another poor soul OK!!!!!

 

[skullfreak]

Thx bro......

 

[Liv2Ski]

Thx bro......

No big deal I hope you enjoy it. Envelope is in my mailbox waiting for the postman to grab it tomorrow am. BTW I have to admit I washed my first carto ever yesterday I thought hey why not I have been chucking them and these Ikens are pretty robust. Nothing crazy just a hot tap water rinse and BJ then let it sit for 36 hours. OMG the thing is like brand new! Don't worry I am sending you a brand new one!!!! For the record I am hitting these things between 4.0 and 4.4V. Enjoy and I hope it hits the spot for you
