eGo carto tastes like ........

[Andy1100]

Not good. I got an empty ego cartomizer (first time with it), filled it with 1.8 ml, it leaked a bit, but I'm not getting good flavor out of it. Kinda metallic, with just a hint of Wyatt Earp.. Good vapor but no good flavor, am I missing something? Did I not get enough juice into it? Need to let it sit for a while to fully soak the filler? Stumped

How long after you filled it did you try it. I have found you need to let them sit about 15 mins when you first fill them to insure all the wadding is moist.

I don't think I waited that long, but it has been much longer than that now.... I think I'll see if I can put some more juice in it and just let it sit on top of the juice bottle for a while so if it does leak I won't loose anything. I'll try it again after about an hour...

If what you have is an eGo mega cartomizer - big plastic thing with a whistle tip - then you may never get good consistent results. I tried some a couple of months ago and wound up not even using the 5th unit in my 5 pack. I doubt I ever will use the last one. They sounded good but proved not to be so imo.

I've had good results with two that I've tried. I filled them with close to 2.5 ml, let them sit for awhile and vape away. When they seem to lose the tasty "crackle", I hit them with another ml of juice and go again. Been using these two on and off in kind of rotation with my other PV's for almost a month now. Works for me.

I had some of the round tip ego cartomizers. The taste was never good. Kind of seemed to taste like plastic or something. I am trying out some from litecig now and so far so good but have only tried one flavor so far.

I just filled my first one with 1.5ml of alienvisions english toffee. The taste and vapor are there, but it is a cool vape and no throat hit at all. Very, very smooth. Not at all what I am used to getting from this specific liquid. Had a bit of liquid in the mouth at first so I let it sit on top of the juice bottle to settle while I made dinner before going back.
Back at it and no more juice in the mouth! Yay. Still not what I am looking for, I have 4 more that I will probably let sit in my arsenol for emergency use only. Better than nothing. I do like to feel the warm vapor and a bit of acknowledgement that I am vaping

HzG8rGrl - you could add a few drops of vodka to your mix before filling your carto next time. I find it gives a better throat hit to some of my quieter juices, without wrecking the flavour. It's a ymmv type thing. I put 6 drops in 4 to 5 mls of juice. It's enough for me but I don't like my head blown off if you know what I mean.
