E2 R4 Cartomizer comparison summary spreadsheet (Regular vs XL, 510 vs 808, 2.6 ohms versus 3 ohms etc)

[AlexPerth]

Hi All,

The E2 cartomizer discussions get very large very quickly and its difficult to find information on experiences with these new cartomizers, particularly between all the different types that are available. I propose we try and summarise this information so people can make better judgements when ordering online.

Please post a very short summary of your experience with R4 cartomizers - both good and bad. Vendor and price info would also be appreciated.

I will endeavour to update a summary table of people's experiences in either this first post or a public google spreadsheet linked from here. Something like this: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc...TRNQnEtTlhPT2RUNDJ5aXc&hl=en&authkey=CL7aoLUB

Add whatever information you like and i'll try and work it into the spreadsheet in a nicely summarised format.

If anyone has a better idea of how to summarise the data please share it!

I'll go first:

Bought from eliquid-cn (pack of 30 for $30 + shipping)

510 XL 2.6-2.8 ohm
- too hot for most juice on eGo battery
- no probs with wicking
- throat hit acceptable but not excellent

510 XL 3.0-3.2 ohm
- nice vapor with eGo battery
- way too hot when using 5V mod
- no probs with wicking

Good idea. I'm compiling a list of US vendors so I can post the link here when done.

Revision 3 (r3)- 808XL, 808 regular, +_3ohms- Most have primer, dry burn to remove, some leak when left on their side; PTB short or long tail mod helps fix that.

r3- 401XL, +_3ohms- Same as above, too melow at this ohm level for me; 2.7ohm may be sweet spot?

r4- 510, 808 XL, +_3ohms- No primer on the ones I have, fill and vape, wick well but occasional dry spots if chain vaping

Cleaning: I've found PGA/Vodka works well since it evaporates. I'm trying distilled white vinegar now. Many people are using it w/ great results.

That's a basic list. I'm sure I'm leaving something out so I'll edit if need be.

Mostly I use 808d and 510. My experience has been that the regular sized cartos just do not hold enough.

I tried the high resistance 3 ohms and up, but every single one so far just does not vaporize enough

Thats for postings guys. I'll wait till we have a few more posts and start updating the spreadsheet (so long as their is enough interest).

Also try and keep the discussion to R4 cartos. Hopefully the older R3s and the R3.5s are being flushed out of the supply chain and everyone will have R4s.
