This habit/hobby is going to bankrupt me. SO BLONDIE...
Scale of 1 -10, 1 being excrement and 10 being perfection, how do you rate how they work and their longevity vs. a normal type A cart/atty? Are they disposable, period, once the water has built up or are they cleanable. I'm sorry I should do my own research but I thought what the hell maybe you'll gimme a paragraph.
I know! Aren't they pretty? LOL
Honestly, I have yet to try them. My order arrives on Monday, but will definitely give you my impressions then. However, I *did* do a lot of research about them. Read EVERY post available here on ECF, and a few other forums. (One thread in particular here is at an epic 120 pages already.) Here is what I've learned from other people's experiences:
Flavour, TF, vapor is the same, if not better than with a Mega XL type cart/atty. Once you get used to how they work (and with some people there was no learning curve) they seem to outperform in every aspect. Of course, not everyone agrees, but the majority seem to feel this way.
The only real issues that have been mentioned is that they seem to work better with a PG/VG blend of 70/30 or less - the more viscous the juice, the harder to get it to wick. Although some people have reported that higher VG blends are working for them - these seem to be on cleaner juices - no dark flavourings or particulates.
Another issue mentioned was refilling the cartridge - removing the cap was difficult and some thought continuing to do this would warp, causing the seal to not work as well. The workaround for this is to pierce the cartridge with the atty first, then remove, then fill/refill the cartridge through that hole.
Some also experienced a bit of leaking. Seems to be fixed if you follow the above directions with piercing the tank and using correct juice.
One of the best reviewers I saw was:
YouTube - cozzcon's Channel He did an unboxing, first impressions, and then a follow-up. He now says that he has retired his Megas, AND his GGs.
