Does anybody else hate carts?

[SpitfireSMS]

I love my e-cig, absolutely love it.
Its kept me from analogs since the day I got it in the mail.

The one problem I have, is that carts absolutely suck.
If Im not getting liquid in my mouth, im getting an awful burnt poly taste and the poly sticks to the atty.
I finally resolved to drip 100% without any poly in my carts at all.
Its totally worth removing the cart and dripping every 6 puffs or so if I dont have to deal with the awful taste of liquid or burning poly

I feel like carts are done very.. wrong. They need to work better and not piss me off so much lol
I cant find a way to solve every issue I have with them.
I wouldnt even mind if the carts costed more if they actually worked right.
Please tell me Im not the only one thats thoroughly annoyed by carts in general

Yoiu aren't the only one. I'm a dripper. The only device I have that I use the carts is my e-cigar, and that's mainly because they are screw on... and a pain in the ... to open up all the time to drip. The carts in them work fairly well.

 

[Terraphon]

You're not. I hate carts, also.

Except for when I'm working on reviews I drip, exclusively...I can't handle constantly having to re-fill, un-squash, fluff, clean, etc...

I only use the carts when I need a new mouthpiece. Can't stand them, especially in the 901's. I find that they fall down on the atomizer a lot, so I use them up, and toss them. Dripping works much better for me.

I have the same issue with my 901...the filling sticks to the atomizer a lot.

Also happens with my Evo...

I tried dripping as an experiment to see how long I got out of an atomizer and found, that contrary to numerous reports, the atomizer lasted the longest of any that I had previously used. It may keep the coil temp down and constanty wet.

Since then I gave up on cartridges all together and get a better life out of the atomizers---------Sun

 

[Terraphon]

Yeah, I certainly haven't noticed any reduction in the life of an atomizer based on dripping.

*shrug*

i'm also beginning to hate carts. I still use carts on my 510 , they seem to wick fairly good and when i'm out and about , especially driving , it's near impossible (not to mention unsafe) to try to drip.

the horrible burning flavor disappeared from my 801 when started dripping , still very worried about getting juice in the battery though. Hopefully those manual 801 batteries coming out will be all sealed up so i can drip like crazy

If you have an ecig with an exposed?...external?...atomizer (It's too early and my brains not fully awake yet) like the 401, then I would suggest dipping rather than dripping. You'll get about 20 puffs of cart-free vaping. All the benefits of dripping with less stopping to drip. Don't know what other models have this sort of atomizer though. I've been strictly a 401 guy for a while now. Anyone know?

I do not use carts anymore on my 901 and hit-n-miss on my 510. On my 901 the cart material gets stuck and it is a royal pain in the .... to deal with that all the time. On my 510 the cart material doesn't get stuck as much and I use the 901 cart, but when I really need a quick hit, I take the cart off of it, too.

Glad to read that some are finding the atty life is not as short as others have reported when dripping. Maybe I will have this same experience with my attys.

Exactly lifelong ( love your crane stance avatar lol), that's the main reason I will not give up my 401 atty stock pile lol ( dipping as opposed to dripping last a lot longer).. As for my 901, the filling stopped falling onto my atty when I switched to the rn4075( the wic sits way deeper in the barrel- they do run hotter and need primed a little more often) style instead of the DSL atty...If i do use a cart, like on my 510..I always use the straw mod....

 

[prr2freya]

I gave up carts after just a few days of owning my first PV. I have an exposed atomizer so I exclusively dip. Can't stand the mess and fuss of carts.

edit: Also is m401 AND in two months I am still on my first two atomizers.. Not one atty death since I began this new wonderful life changing vape thang~_*

I only drip when I'm at home, when I'm driving or out I can't be bothered and just use a cartridge.

 

[Antebellum]

I've tried dripping, and yes, I think it keeps the atomizer cooler. However, it's just too much fiddling with to do if vaping continuously. If I'm busy, I just try to have some juicy full carts ready to swap made up in advance. Every now and then I get industrious and fill a dozen cartridges or so, and I get a few days out of them. It's pretty convenient, despite the disadvantages.
