General Review of premium carts

[VapingRulz]

sure would like to know what you people are talking about........by the time I got the cap pryed off of my burned out CMF premium cart it was ruined. The tube had a big ring of dried glue where the cap had been. No inner seal. Taste....great ..5.......value.....0...can't be refilled and burned out twice as fast.

Yes, I did ruin one of the white caps when I removed it. The glue is ridiculous - but I understand that we won't see that in the future. The newer batches (and some of these current ones) have easy-to-remove caps. I don't think that the inner silicone ring is necessary with the new design. They do use more juice than the standard cartos, so you have to be careful not to over-vape and burn them out.

What I did was cut a small hole in the center of one of my spare cartos and used that instead after refilling. It's actually kind of nice because it's easier on the teeth, but it looks a bit goofy.

Maybe these are the "special" ones that get sent to the customers that are not in love with you because we never got to experience Steve's killer customer service????

Having a bad hair day?

I've been a steady V4L customer since October. I got the glued-on tops. I don't make the mistake of thinking there's some connection between those two facts. Some of the premium flavors have these tops; others do not. I read that on the forum somewhere, so I knew this before I ordered.

Just realized something funny, my smilin menthol juice came with 6 carts in the box.

i had a box of blanks that came with 4 ha

Go away troll.

Wow. I don't know if I'd harsh on her quite that much.

At the OP:

Did you have a bad experience with one or one box or one dozen boxes? I'm pretty active on the forum and I don't believe I've seen another report such as this through a handful of threads about them. The complaints seem to all be glued-on end-caps, wondering why they don't have silicon O'Rings, and some not liking the snap-crackle sound.
(Whit - if you're vaping regular carts without the O'Rings, you can't complain about getting a mouth-full of juice. That was you, right? They're a different design and that's what the O'Ring is there for...),

That's all primarily pretty cosmetic. Flavor, lifespan, and vapor have nearly (until your post, I believe) been universally positive. That suggests an outlier.

If it was one cart (which it appears you're suggesting) then it must have been a freebie? Or you haven't tried the others in the pack?

I received the chocolate banana premium carts and they are simply perfect. Great taste and twice the vapor. I also received premium RY4, great flavor and vapor as well. I have refilled one the chocolate banana carts three times now with dark chocolate, and dark chocolate raspberry, and with the refills just as much vapor as the original cart. I have disposed of all my old carts, and I really do not want to go back to the old carts at all. Anyone have any ideas on what liquid would go well in the RY4 cart (besides tobacco flavors and menthol)?

I think chocolate goes with everything.

Lori, just use the Carto condom fill method:

YouTube - A Great Way To Fill Cartomizers

Works great and is the quickest and easiest fill method there is.

I bought two boxes of premiums. Sour Green Apple-36 and Kant-36. Mechanically, I like the premium cartos. They do put out more vapor and draw nicely. However on the juice side of things, something seems to be amiss. The Green Apple is just fine and I have no complaints. But the Kant-36 is not Kant-36. Tastes more like Cowboy. I have both in the old style cartos and been doing some switch testing and trying several cartos from the premium Kant box. It's not the Kant I came to love, that much is certain. It's not bad mind you and is vapable (is that a word?) but for Kant, my mainstay, I will go back to old cartos or bottle refills. So I guess my premium review is one thumb up and one thumb down.

Refilling is easy. Pry the cap off, if it is glued in then just break it off. I use the syringe spin method. I got a full 1ml in a premium carto the same as a regular. Now to replace the broken cap, I know this might stun some people but you can use a cap from a non premium carto or a empty carto. They fit just fine and vape great. Non premium juice in a premium carto gets you premium vapor production. Just not premium flavor.

If I had to say what I dont like about the premium cartos it would be that they dont last long. but after looking inside one of them I can see why. The filling material looks less "cotony". I think a larger amount of juice is atomized thus they last longer At this time it sucks that they dont last long. But once premium juice is available I wont care one bit.

Actually, its not the original carts I have any problem with. (Im pretty sure I said that) It's the premiums im getting mouthfulls of juice. Their filler is too close to the cap, which is probably the problem. Maybe they just need to smooth over the design a little... Ive had this problem with more than one of them, but not with the originals.

Wow. I don't know if I'd harsh on her quite that much.

It was a combination of her post here, and her post on another thread, where she claimed that the new premiums were "significantly more expensive" than the regulars... A whole $0.19 a piece, I know.

But still, my post was probably uncalled for, and I apologize.

 

[Monkey Arms]

Are you kidding that they don't last as long. I go through 7 carts a day as it is...
This is NOT good news!

They last about the same time as the older carts, if not more. I've been vaping them for a week and half, awesome!

 

[LMPLoyd]

I must retract my statement about the carts lasting as long, I have been using a manual PT more than anything this last week and I was informed that a manual PT will empty a cart much faster than a auto batt, So my basis for comparison was off. The premium rule!

I just wanted to come back and say I changed my mind about the Wintergreen. I love them too. It just took them a couple of days to grow on me. These premium cartos are just awesome!
