I ordered some Volt x2 cartomizers. I haven't received them yet. I hear people on these forums that they switch off flavors throughout the day. Which is what I want to do. Are you guys buying these cartomizers for 6.95 ish to test out different flavors? I'm asking cause if you buy a few different flavors to try them out and you have carts that you cannot clean, are you paying 6.95 to try out a flavor? That seems expensive. The Volt x2 carts that I ordered says they last for 2-3 weeks only. What are cheap carts that I can try to test samples of flavors? What am I missing here?
Clean Clearomizers or Throw Away???

I haven't used those clearos, but I'd clean them and use them until the coil stopped working on them.
You could buy the blank carto for the volt, they seem to be ~$8 for a 5 pack, and fill those with a liquid that you want to try.
I didn't like the idea of buying things to throw away and that's why I progressed to rebuildables fairly quickly.

get some kanger t4s they work great for several weeks. I think the volt is an 808 thread so you can get the but the place i buy from is out of stock right now.
I use a 510 version of these. I have a whole bunch each with a different flavor. I don't clean them, I just keep filing them up until they die - then I throw them away.

Use atomizers to try out a flavor. If you hate it, no big deal. If you like it, stick it in a clearo. I don't know if the X2 clearos come with replaceable heads or not, but if they do, they're worth the investment. You can just replace the head for about $3 instead of the whole clearo.
I always clean mine out, almost every night and try to get as much life out of them as I can. They last for weeks and still hit good!
Not to derail the thread, but these are sooo easy to clean...wiggle the tube off, take off the long silver post, you'll see the coil. 3 second pulses until the coil glows. Then reassemble. I get months and months out of these, I think they're amazing. Plus I use all my "cracker" juices in them with no problems.
Are you talking about the x2 clearomizer? They don't unscrew from the bottom. How do you clean them?
What's the difference between atomizers and clearomizers? I did a search and they both look the same.
I have cleaned my V2 Liquimax clearos more time than I can cound and they still work fine even after 5 weeks of steady use. I have also just cleaned my X2 and e-smarts. Same results. I have onlt had one e-smart go bad and that was after the second fill of juice. It was giving off a burning, almost melting plastic taste after a few puffs. Tried cleaning and got the same results. Second one I have used no problems yet.
The way I see it:
Atomizer: Heating element
Clearomizer: Heating element+tank for juice+fiber wick for juice delivery to heating element.
Cartomizer: Heating element+polyfill sponge that holds juice.
Carto tank: Same thing but with a tank that holds more juice and feeds juice to sponge.
The only difference between carto and clearo is the method of delivering juice. Fiber wick vs Polyfill.
I think the atomizer by itself can get juice from dripping, polyfill cartridges "carts", or little plastic tank ala Ego-T types.
So much terminology overlaps it's confusing. I'm a noob myself, so any non-noobs please correct me if I got anything wrong.
I like the e-smarts cause they hold a little more than the V2 Liquimax and have different colors. I was reading on Vapor Kings site and they say.... "These also fit KR808D-1 batteries but are slightly larger in diameter." Are they still a good fit? Do they look weird?
EDIT: How do they fit on the 65 and 78mm and Spinners?

I use them on my 78mm and they are just a tad wider in diameter. Don't look that out of place at all.
Couple of things: These are 1.6ml clearomizers not cartomizers with non-replaceable coils. For the price, not a good deal as you can find 1.6ml coil replaceable clearomizers which when the coil dies, for around $2.00 you just screw in a new one.
When they say approximately 2 weeks, they mean if you are vaping almost exclusively with it.
Cleaning clearomizers is easy-peasy. I just run mine under the faucet, warm water, gently, letting the water flow through several times (coil replaceable is even easier as you can remove the coil/wicks and rinse separately), shake the water out, blow out the remaining water droplets and let dry over several hours or over night. Many folks do a dry burn before refilling, but I see no need of that. I refill the clearomizer, let it sit a few minutes so the ejuice works its way into the wicks, and start vaping. After maybe a couple of weak puffs, they work as good as new.
I do this with both cheap kanger M3 mini-clearomizers (non-replaceable 1ml units) as well as with my larger Triton 2.4ml coil replaceable tanks. (Basically a Triton-threaded kanger T2)

Cheapest clearos around: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1307200
The price is for 6 in a box. If you throw them away, you don't feel guilty. They still take some washing and last (for the most part) a couple of weeks.
They are 510 threaded, but you can get an adapter...

I like those clearomizers. They do fit on the Volt Spinners, correct? Are the tanks glass or plastic? Do the mouth piece screw on?
