Difference between CLEARO and CARTO?

[Mateo the Great]

Can someone please explain the difference between and clearomizer and a Cartomizer?

Thanks! Sorry for the newbie questions. If you guys weren't so good at answering them, then maybe we wouldn't ask!

A clearo is an evod or protank. They have changeable coils. The carto are basically a non rebuildable coil. They come in 5packs and are disposable. The tank on the outside is not.

A clearo is a tube that's is usually clear or transparent it houses a braided or woven wick and coil on the top or bottom

A carto is a tube that has a coil running the length of it with a gauze like filler around the coil

I am starting to understand a little. Could anyone include a picture of both by chance? That REALLY clears things up.

Thanks again

This is a clearo
It won't let me load the carto pic though.

 

[Mateo the Great]

ok that is what im using. I call those eVod tanks? Is a Carto like a Stardust tank?

Evod tanks are clearos

 

[DanG]

This is the carto inside, it is basically a tube, wick, and a coil

Cartos have filler like the cigalikes.
Some use carto tanks that gi with it.

Clearos are either top coil or bottom coil.
Cartos are small and are not transparent.

Clearomizer is a cartomizer without the filler.

Traditional cartomizers use polyfill to suspend and wick eliquid to the coil.

 

[Mateo the Great]

ok So which one is better? And what tank does that Carto fit in?

 

[DanG]

Yep, same thing, evods are BCC clearos. The vivi nova is a top coil clearo pictured here.

I own cartos that are transparent check out the smok tech shorty carto, awesome for a stealth pv BTW

It depends on what you like. I use the vivi nova the most but it is a lot higher maintenance than a carto tank. A lot of people swear by cartos though.

Cartos look like lipstick tubes but can be made of plastic or metal. Clearos look like lots of things--EVODs, CE2, 3, 4, 5, Vivi Novas, T2, 3, 4, Protanks, Davides, iClear 16 & 30, etc. Cartos have a filler material packed around the heating core. Clearos have wicks like candles. You can see your liquid level in most clearos but not in cartos unless it is a carto tank--a tank like a clearo but without the wick--the carto has holes punched in it and goes in the tank to wick up the liquid--clear as mud?

Google EVOD and Boge. EVOD is type/style of clearo and Boge is a type of carto.

PV? I didn't understand a word coming out of your mouth? You sound like a dog with Peanut Butter on the roof of your mouth.

Sorry for the Talladega Nights reference... What does PV stand for? Also BCC. I'm guessing BCC is bottom coil but don't know what the other C is.

Here are some links (these are links to Halo for examples only - these both use 808 threads and will not fit common 510 and ego batteries)

Cartomizer
Authentic Tan | E-Cigarette Blank Cartomizers | Halo Cigs

Clearomizer
Crystal Clear | G6 Mini Tanks | Halo Cigs

cartomizers look similar to a cigarette "filter" and are made of metal, have a filler material that absorbs the e-liquid and has a small coil in the center of a small tube that vaporizes the e-liquid and take some time to refill and need to be replaced after being refilled about 7-10 times (or less if allowed to get low enough to "dry" burn) unable to see level of fluid in it

Clearomizers are normally any type that is easily refilled from top or bottom, are normally translucent so you can see fluid level, most are rebuildable ie: you can replace just the atomizer (the part with the coil that heats the fluid and creates the vapor) are much easier to deal with and are much more cost effective

examples of clearo names - ce4, stardust, mini protank, mini vivi nova

protanks, vivi nova's etc are basically just large clear's

hope this helps
