I'm on day 2 with my ego mega dcc, and, so far, I love it. I agree with all you say ... much better than the first day, refilling is a breeze, and the flavor is great (very full). This carto may be the one I've been searching for! Even if I only get 2-3 days from each carto, it might be worth it (if they're consistent). It even worked with one of my KGO 1100 battery without adjustment. I had to adjust it for the other KGO, but it's still working great!
I like the snap, crackle, and pop, as well as the sizzle. Means it's producing.
I liked the eGo mega cylinder atty, type B, but I think this beats it.

This is day 3, and it started off with the snap, crackle, and pop ... and loads of flavor and vapor! I've topped the carto off at night so it has a chance to rest with plenty of juice. Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that this carto seems to be using my e-juice more effeciently. With other equipment, I've had problems with draw and vapor production, so I went with a higher nic level. Now, I think I'm getting a little too much nicotine, so I'm going to be able to use a much lower nicotine juice. Or ... I guess I could just take shorter vapes because I get great vapor with even short inhales. Also, it's great to be running through batteries faster than juice refills, and my batteries usually last about 9-12 hours.
I can't wait to see another update report from Six to see what I have to look forward to. It's now day 9 since Six received these. I'm wondering how they are holding up? I only bought 5 of them, so I'd like to know how many more I need to make it through the rest of the month?

I noticed something funny when I would sometimes take a drag and the carto seemed blocked or something because I couldn't inhale anything then I realized that the two vent slots were covered by my finger that pushes the button and the other one with my thumb. My vent hole is right by by switch and the other one 180 degrees on the bottom. LOL........
Thanks... I tried to find where I got it so I could reference it but I can't seem to find it...
I think those 5 could quite possibly get you through the month. I don't have a lot to report, but I can comment on a couple of things:
Cleaning: I ran out of the flavor I started with in the first carto (as predicted - I only had 10ml). All I did was toss the carto (minus the mouth piece) in some boiling water for 4 or 5 minutes. I let it cool down, blew it out, rinsed again with just water, blew out again - and let dry on a tray in a sunny window. - that worked great. It left no residual flavor and the carto performs flawlessly. I filled it up with a 100% VG juice the next day to test these with thicker juice.
Thicker Juice: I filled the one I cleaned with AVE Bobas Bounty. -- I chose that juice for a couple of reasons. First, I use that juice two to three hours a day every day as my last vape before bed, so I'm completely familiar with the flavor(s). I almost exclusively drip that one. I never carry it around in cartos and only occasionally use it in my bottom feeder. I was looking to discover first if it would wick well (100% VG), and second if the flavor would hold up and not wash out. I can report that I'm surprised at how well this carto is able to wick it and that after 2 full fills and a couple of top-offs, the flavor has remained really good. Just like with the regular dual coils, if you chainvape and get the carto really hot, the flavor will wash out and stay weak until you let the carto cool down. That's just the nature of it and can be avoided.
The other carto still has BWB Applewood in it and is still performing just fine. It did great on an eGo clone for a couple of days and I moved it to 5.0v yesterday when my 510 to eGo adpaters came in. Putting a huge carto like this on my triple-v makes it a really huge device. Just like the standard dual coils at 5.0v, the performance is incredible. It's cooler vapor than a standard sized dual coil due to the size and airflow difference, but it makes an insane amount of vapor. The 70/30 PG/VG looks like 100% VG as far as the vapor cloud goes.
These also share another characteristic with the standard dual coils: They get better and better. The first fill isn't that impressive, but they break in. The perform better on the third fill than they did on the first. The filler does become more absorbent, and I'll mention that I was indeed accurate with what I said the capacity is. ~4.2 ml after break in and you'll have trouble getting more than 3.6 ml in the first time.
I'm going to order more of these, but not right away. I have about 40 or 50 regular dual coils and a box of triple coils on hand right now (as well as various other cartos). I'm going to wait for the next run of these and see if the manufacturer sorts out that little issue with the 510 connector. Even though it's an easy fix, those sorts of quality control issues annoy me. Just because I'm willing to tinker with my PVs doesn't mean I should have to.
I'm going to add just a little personal note: If I decide to go to Vegas for vapefest, you'll see me there carrying my triple-v with one of these cartos on it filled with a high-VG juice. A huge 3 inch carto sitting on top of a 5 inch mod creating vapor you just about have to cut through with a machete is sort of far out. I would have never dreamed of such a thing when I first started vaping. This technology keeps getting better and better.
One fill should last just about everyone all day. Syringe filling is by far the best method for refilling large cartos. It is clean simple and fast.
You can get 5 ml syringes here for 1.50 each with free shipping. They do ask you to buy more than one or something else because shipping is more than the price of one. http://www.shop.wordupecig.com/5ml-...05C216E6C2A2CCBEE762334AF74E3853.qscstrfrnt02

Careful Tex. If somebody sees you on this thread you'll get kicked out of the Secret Echo Society.
I'm pretty sure he's the founding member - original gangsta!
I hope he gives these cartos a try and posts his thoughts. The draw is going to be tighter than he likes (judging by what I've read from Tx before) and the vapor might be warmer than he likes, but I'd like to hear the contrast from someone who vapes a lot differently than I prefer to. It would give a nice balance to the information in this thread - and Txtumbleweeds opinions and reviews have been helpful in my decision making a few times.
So, if they try to kick you out, just tell them you were doing eGo users a favor <grin>... besides, everyone knows you are a hardware junkie, Tx. The secret society of benevolent echos can't hold it against you.
As far as I know, the only place to get them so far is clouds of vapor. There is a thread but not too many comments from people who have actually tried them.
Hey you must be reading my mind. lol I had to try one after reading Six's review. I couldn't let him get one up on me. lol I had some credit on madvapes site so I only ordered one to test.
Tex, I'm over from the echo thread myself. The dual coils are nice, I think you will like them....
I think I might do a blog write up in the next few days on the different multi-coils I've tried. The only ones I haven't had yet are the 2.5 ohm rated and Ikenvapes (but Ikens might be the same as the regular DCs - I just don't know). The only ones I'll never buy again are any of the clear ones (it's a lifestyle thing - I need something more durable)
