Chuck Questions

[AmyB66]

Chucklehead, you have me fartin around when I should be working. Been playing around with the whole direct drip thing this afternoon since I just got a delrin and aluminum tip.
The aluminum gets kinda hot. Was using that one on a 510 atty, bleck bleck burnt atty taste, gross. I've so had it with 510 attys. Doing well with my low resistance atty, just need to find the fine line between liquid, overfill and no filled enough (cause again, dry atty bleck!)

So I just read your post on using the drip tip on the 510 carto. That's kinda nice as the mouthpiece is more pleasant. Not sure I like the metal taste though, can taste the metal on my mouth. So after ten minutes I like the delrin better but we'll see. In the meantime I will see how I like the drip tip on the carto. It certainly has a plus, no more sticky glue on the lips.

Ihave tried many cartomizers and these 510 MEGAS from NHALER ARE GREATTTTTTTT

 

[AmyB66]

I've got the 510 carto's from vapor kings. They too have the rubber top. Wonder if they are the same or not? I am very much lovin my shorty drip tips on my cartos.

 

[CHUCKLEHEAD]

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the info. Time to search "how to refill cartomizers".

Easiest one on the market and i have tried them all is Nhalers Mega 510 cartomozer! I just use my fingernail and take the top off! no glue or residue I take that top and garbage it! I get blanks so i fill it up with about 1ml of juice slowly to let it settle in! Then i take a drip tip pop it on and puff away for hourstake the drip tip off! Top it off with about 20 drops or so and your good to go again

Well what's the point of the drip tip if you're just gonna take it off again to refill?

So you get the large capacity and no flooding or burning Fluval of a carto and the mouthpiece of a 510? Sounds good.

I've come to the conclusion that I need to stop reading these forums, all I find is new crap to buy every day.

No kidding. I am almost afraid to tally this crap I've bought up because ridiculous would not begin to describe it. 8-o

I hemmed and hawed the other day over buying a pair of new jeans, on clearance for 20 bucks! Yet I think nothing about dropping two/three times that on accessories or liquid.
I guess I thought nothing of buying cigarettes either, even if the budget was killer tight.
I knew I could type my way into justification!

So i have something to draw on silly sucking on a cartomizer with out a tip would be like sucking on a 510 atomizer without a cart or drip tip!

I still fail to see your argument sir.

 

[Badfish20]

I still fail to see your argument sir.

Have to agree with the cat here, why not just leave the drip tip on when you refill...kind the point isnt it? you dont have to remove it to refill (drip) it

 

[quakereject]

Well, other than the fact that I'm just being annoying.. I can see why he does.. better view of the carto and when it's getting it's fill of juice, plus you can be a little messier.

Because you want to refill around the edges where the filler is! If you try and just drop it straight down you will flood the atomizer! And it leaks right out of the vents on the 510 threads! Hope that helps !!!!!!Been vaping 10 months now! and this is by far the best if not most convient way to vape

.... there's that part of it too.

My problem with cartomizers has been that I don't like the feel of the paper in my mouth. I thought, for a moment, that Dennis had the solution to that but, looking at NHaler's site, the mega 510 cartomizer is high resistance. I'm on a Little Chuck so that's not the answer.

Maybe the regular 510 cartos with a drip tip would work.

I am using them on my little chuck at 3.7 and its working fine

 

[AmyB66]

I bought the 510 carto's jctennis listed and can vape them at either voltage. I've been playing around with different atty's and carts for a few weeks with the chucks and Chucklehead is absolutely correct. This is so the way to go....no fuss, no muss. I just ordered some from Nhaler, not sure if they are the same or better.

I messed with an atty and dripping since so many go that way but nope, this is my happy spot. If I am at the paying job, I can only steal a hit or two on occassion if I am outside and I don't have to worry about failure, in the car it is a no brainer and yeah, at home and nonpaying job I chain vape....and this allows me to just do it. Sunday will end three weeks without a single cigarette for me! Had I continued with the messy cartridges/atomizer inconsistancies it might have been a different story, especially with smokers in my household.

From what I could find, NHaler and Vapor Kings carry larger 510 cartos than the others (and with the soft rubber tops.) NHaler's are 3.4 Ohms and VK's are 2.7 Ohms.

I ordered 10 drip tips from Heaven-Gifts (nickle-plated copper) for $3 each inc. shipping (thanks to their May Day holiday.) When it looks like they're about to arrive, I think I'll order one pack of cartos from each and do a comparison.

I'm hoping this is the solution for me. Cartos are cheap. I can use the atomizers I already have for testing new flavors before I commit a carto to them. And I can use it all on my Little Chuck (which I expect to last forever -- or at least to outlast me.)

I will need them to eventually make the large 510 cartos in multiple colors so I can keep track of which cart has what flavor.


ETA: Before you remove the top, can 510 cartos be filled for the first time using the condom method and the Taryn spin?

 

[AmyB66]

You can fill either way. I keep a small pointy set of tweezers with my stash for simple cap removal (but after the first removal you can usually pop them off with your finger)
These caps come off so easy that I rarely bother with the condom method but either way works well. After you spin, add some more!

Poeia, I thought about getting some nail appliques to put on my cartos to help make identifying easier. It doesn't sound like the suppliers want to fuss with multi colors.

Now I have to go back and reschool myself on the ohms...though if I am remembering correct, the higher ones will vape cooler? Which should mean they'll be better at 6Vs than the ones I am using now. Thank god we do not get graded on our knowledge of amps, ohms, mahs and all that jazz, I'd get a big fat F!

Thanks to a post by Ralph the other day (I think in the Saturday thread), I finally understand the basics. High resistance is for high voltage.

Nhaler's site says "Higher Resistance (3.4) to burn cooler than average cartomizers" but I have a Little Chuck so, theoretically, the lower resistance 2.7 Ohms should be better. Except that Chuckles said that he's been using the Nhaler at 3.7 and it works great.

If I hate the cartos I won't be out a lot of money and, if I like them, I'll use them all. Figuring out which is best for me with a Little Chuck will just affect where I reorder from (but the silver ones at Nhaler are prettier than the black ones.)

ETA: Here it is:

I'll take a stab at it. I am going to put this in the context of an atomizer.

LR = Low Resistance. The LR atty's run HOTTER than a standard atty. So, a LR 510 runs HOTTER than a standard 510. These were meant to make a 3.7 volts act more like a 5 Volt mod.

HV = High Voltage. The HV atty's run COOLER than the standard atty. So an HV 510 would run COOLER than a standard 510. These were meant to make a dual battery setup (6 or 7.4) volts run more like 5V.

The one specification that manufacturers change to make an LR or HV atty is the resistance of the atty coil (part that heats the juice). Resistance is measured in ohms. So, a standard Joye 510 atty is 2.2 ohms. A LR 510 might be 1.8 ohms and an HV 510 might be 4.5 ohms.

This is just a nutshell view. There are many finer points but I wouldn't want to derail this thread.

ETA: As related to the Chuck... Lets say you wanted to try 6 volts, and bought the batteries and charger, tried it and it was WAY TOO HARSH for you. You then might try an HV atty and see if that tones it down to your liking... OR... What if you have a little Chuck and 6V isn't an option? Then you could try a LR atty and see if that WARMS things up for you.

It looks like both the VK and the Nhaler large cartomizers are right in the middle.
