I'd be thrilled to have 510 cartomizers that have a soft cap. I can't get the darn things off without destroying them. Also...what can be done to completely prevent the burning issue? Different materials/parts?
Customer Interest and Suggestions...PLEASE!!!!

I've been a cart user exclusively so far, though now that I'm at my 90 day milestone (TODAY!) I promised myself something special, been eyeballing a Woody. Still not sure if I want to dive into the world of atomizers and that stuff though, so most likely I'd be using carts on it.
Of the different carts I've used, the Greencig ones have been my favorites as far as construction and general "life" out of them. They pretty much seem to hover right around a pack worth of analogs as far as content goes and I can count on one hand the number of them I've killed doing refills. I love the inner container with the packing, makes taking them apart for cleaning so easy, and a real snap for switching out the filler material for other types. The only aspect that puts the 808's ahead is the flavor variety. There are times at work when having a fresh pre-filled cart on hand is great, as I'm in and out of the truck too much to use a passthrough or do refills on the road. The 808's have so many good flavors (555, Camule, Cappucchino) compared to the generally drab Greencig ones. The GS Cherry is ok, and Vanilla decent, but nothing really stands out like the 808 flavors do.
I guess the top things I'd like to see in a Drew Special would be:
The longevity and construction of a GreenCig cart.
The flavor variety available in the 808's.
Choices in strength something like the Smoker Friendly versions here in town (High, Medium, Low, Zero)
Maybe if there is enough demand, have a Lung juice line of pre-filled ones as well, and perhaps do a Poll of what flavors people really like to narrow things down and keep stock levels down so that only the popular flavors need to be maintained.

Conner gave me the idea for the name of the new 510 cartomizers your designing:
DS 510 carto
Just simply "DS" for Drew Special. And for the HV 510 cartos, "HDS". I think it's simple and elegant.
Any idea when these might be available? I know you're working on them, but do you have a timeframe in mind? Also, if you use the name, do I get a box of each for free?

Heh, if YOU get freebies, I should too! 
I swear sometimes, Drew is like a LEGAL drug dealer, all of us salivating like starving dogs, eyeballing the big mysterious box of goodness (food container) waiting for something to appear out of it. Man we're all pitiful sometimes, but it's so fun being able to enjoy this habit, you know?
Did you ever imagine it would turn out like this when you first got into the business Drew?

Amen. They run much hotter, burn up the juice like crazy, drain the batteries, and burn the filler creating all kinds of toxic-smelling fumes.
I would like to have all cartomizers (including Greencig, which, by the way, seem to be the only ones that never burn) to offer a blank option and to have removable, soft-rubber end caps.
I also would like to have more e-liquids available in lower strengths. I'm trying to reduce my nicotine intake and only vape 8 and 11 mg, so I really can't buy many juices from Drew. I love the lung juices, everyting else is either too much nicotine or mostly tobacco flavors.

I'm right there with you...I find that I loose a lot of taste on the higher nic levels. I've decided I would rather give up some nic and throat hit for more flavor...I want to buy 11mg cartos but Drew doesn't carry those.
The Greencig cartos are out of Drews control, you'll never see blanks for those in my opinion...I think the best way to refill them is with a syringe through the battery...but it takes some practice...I killed one last night by stabbing the atomizer wire. If you are patient...I would just drip through the battery end very slowly.
Dripping thru the battery end is the best way I've found to do refills on the GS carts. The condom vaccuum fill method works well too, but I find I waste more juice using that method as opposed to careful battery dripping.
i dont have a problem filling thru battery end with a syringe at all. yes at first i did hit the atty but you get used to what angle you should go in. also you guys are right you can drip thru the battery end. i would rather do the syringe cause i distribute the liquid evenly thru the inner cart. but then i have been usinbg greencigs since oct.
my new favs are the 510 cartomisers but greencig is still there but now number 2. i just filled my 510 cartomizer with 30 drops to be exact. this has been refulled about 15 times since i got it and my filler is still white. its white cause i rinsed it out last nite and then let it dry overnite then filled it this am with 30 drops. But i understand the burning you guys have with the 510 cartos. i used the Xhaler at 5 v and if you hold down the button too long you will get that burn taste so i hit it for 2 secs. On my Phidius same thing at 6 volts. cant hold down the button longer than 2 secs. on my GG grant 6 volts work great and no burn. again maybe 4 sec on the button.
Now at 3.7 volts they all work great and you shouldnt burn any 510 cartos if you stay on 3.7v. just my 10 cents lol

I'm on the fence with 510 carto's. I think they work great at 5-6v but I worry about burning the filler. Soooooo....a HV 510 Carto that doesn't burn the filler would be something I'd buy. As far as flavors go, a good menthol, vanilla/caramel, cream soda and mint chocolate chip. I'd like to be able to remove the top without destroying the carto as well.
Thanks again for all you do for us!

Honestly, I'd buy almost any flavor carto that doesn't have filler that reacts to heat but I love the pure taste of the Lung Juice flavors and hope to see some of them make their way to the Octane line. I do prefer empties though
As for a name, I agree with Yankee802 on keeping it simple or at least descriptive. When I first went to nhaler.com I was confused by all of the product names. Descriptive names like 'Lung Juice' and 'High Voltage' are great because they don't require the customer to read further into what they are. On the other hand I had to go back and fourth between the nhale/xhale and octane pages a couple times until I figured out what exactly the difference was. So from a user friendly marketing standpoint I would go with something like DS510 3.7v Cartomizer and DS510 5v Cartmoizer.
