cartos

[Padre]

I recently switched from dripping to cartos and I like the convenience. My problem is I just can't seem to force myself to throw them away when they are done! It's like an atty, clean it and re-use it. They just don't clean as well!

I pulled out a brand new one today and it is great. Good TH and great vapor.

I guess I will have to get my wife to throw them away, just like all the other stuff I want to keep and she secretly gets rid of them!

Once their gone, I won't think of them again!

I just wish they lasted a little longer. I have used 8 in the last month!

You know Padre, its funny ... but I went through the same thing as you.

So two cartos are lasting you for a week. That's what? About five bucks.

And you paid how much for a pack of stinkies and how long did they last you?

vaping can be less expensive but its funny how we become tightwads when we start vaping. I guess its because its more of a mechanical process and we expect mechanical things to last longer.

Cartos can be cleaned ... a lot of people do it. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

But I figure that for five bucks ... and lasting me a week. Why bother. And a fresh carto with fresh juice can be real nice.

Very true what TT said but also I am using the dual coils and easily get 2 weeks and sometimes more from each carto Now I do not use any gunky juice with sweeteners or other additives either

I agree, I too am using dual coils, and I only vape tobacco flavs.... and I get 3 to 4 weeks from one with good performance...so thats less that 5 bucks a month... pretty cool!! I don't know how other juices effect them though so YMMV!! JMO.

I am using the DC that I got from Vapor Junction and even when new, they are a real tight draw. After a few days, I can hardly get anything out of them. I don't know. TT is right though, I am a tightwad!

Okay, I'm sure you already know this, but ...

It makes a difference what battery you use your carto on.

My Buzz has an 808 cap. I have to put an "O" ring down on the cap to use an 808 carto or I can't draw anything through it at all and even with the "O" ring the draw too tight for my liking. But I can put that 808 carto on a stick 808 batty and its perfect.

Now the Buzz is a nice mod with variable voltage and I like it. So I bought some 808 battery to 510 carto adapters and I use 510 cartos on the Buzz. I can get them single coil, duel coil - any way I want them and with the adapter they are "airy" enough that I can really enjoy vaping them.

You don't say what your using for a battery, but if you asked him real nice, I'll bet you a nickel Travis could come up with some 510 to 510 adapters if your batty is a 510 and those duel coils wouldn't be too tight to draw through any more. Oh, and their inexpensive.

Now this is just an example. But if the draw is too tight your not enjoying your vaping the way you should be and your throwing away perfectly good cartos!!

The biggest mistake I see time after time is that most people new to vaping are afraid to pick up the phone and call their favorite supplier. Believe me, whatever the problem is ... he'll help you find the answer to it. And you'll enjoy vaping soooooooo much more.

I am putting them on the Riva 510 threaded batteries I bought at the same time. The LR 510 cartos hit much nicer. I think they are Eastmall brand.

I wouldn't expect anyone to send anything at no charge, but maybe a suggestion as to what to order for the next time I place an order would be nice.

They should not have a tight draw on the Riva batteries. We will do some testing over the weekend with the new shipment of Rivas and see if we can duplicate the issue.

Thanks

 

[Padre]

OK Thanks, but keep in mind we may consider a tight draw different, and I am in no way complaining.

This is just an observation on my part after switching to cartos from dripping. I always knew it was time to clean out an atty when the draw got a little tight, so I am not even comparing apples to apples, I am comparing cartos to attys.

thanks for your interest though.

I had to learn to "let it go". Otherwise. . .I'd still be knee deep in crap affore I knew it. JMHO

Cartos and atties are two different birds - it may also be just an adjustment period getting used to cartos. And it may take a little bit of experimentation with the cartos and batteries to find what works best for you.

I used to wash them. I don't anymore. It took me a long while to get over being chintzy, though.

 

[tgcrna]

It is funny, isn't it, that we would spend $5 a day (or more!) on cigarettes and think nothing of stubbing them out in an ashtray. But we pay a couple of bucks on a carto and can't bear to throw it away after a week (or month!). I am the same way But I am trying to get better, LOL!

 

[Sdh]

LOL you guys. I have allot of cartos. However, I won't let go of them. I have the same ce2 in my tank for the past three weeks. The dual coils Dexter sent me...I still have four. The first one is still rockin on the epower. Oh and I do clean it. I still have the original two ego battery's from my kit(2010 July). They still hold a charge of up to 30 minutes. One never knows if it will be needed. Ok! I am cheap!

I prefer to think of myself as "frugal", LOL. It means pretty much the same thing, but makes me feel better about myself

 

[TexasT]

LOL, when a carto is done I toss it.

I prefer to think of myself as uninterested.

Its the same as lazy but it makes me feel better about myself
