I also recommend Ikenvape if you can find them in stock. 510 Fusion or Platinum. These are premium quality cartos. Best flavor production and last longer than other brands that I have tried.

Prior to using Ikenvape, I was using single coil, 2.5-3.0 ohm Smokteks. Mega XL 2.5 ohm cartomizer
If looking for vendors selling pre-punched cartomizers for cartotanks, here's a large list:

Ok so I checked on Ikenvape and they have the platinum cartos in stock. I have a few in my cart
Now, they are somewhat cheaper than the smoketeks, what should I get? I am gonna grab some tomorrow and try them on my Vamo before I buy a load of them when I get my Vamo

Are you going to use them in a tank or alone? The pre punched are for use with tanks. Most places sell a punch tool so that you can punch your own if you like but I'm not that confident yet! Lol! I tried the carts alone but was always worried about drying them out so I over filled them. Too much stress & dripping. So I moved to the carto tanks instead.
I moved from clearos to novas because i got tired of the leaking then i got tired of the muted taste with my novas. Follow the link at the bottom of Baditude's post to see what they look like. They are really so much easier to use once you get priming the carto down. I followed his blog instructions the first time & I've had very little problems. The flavor & vapor is amazing on the Provari!!
Yeah it does! Hope you like them! if so I've got a feeling you'll be searching for carto tanks in the very near future!
As long as they aren't punched you're good to go!! I take it you already have some drip tips though.
Yep! They have lil plastic end pieces on them but I prefer a drip tip. As long as they are the nova tips that just push down you're good to go.
The first and last part of this article deals with cartomizers and cartotanks, respectively: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3230-1-proper-terminology-carto-tank-what-primer-juice-delivery-attachments.html
How to set up a cartotank: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3710-5-cartomizer-tank-setup.html
When using a carto solo (not in a tank), prepare it the same as the second article describes for prefilling the carto for use in a tank. Since you can not monitor the juice level, don't be afraid to "top off" the carto with more juice from time to time to keep the filler material moist.
The filler will always appear to look dry from the top after a few vapes on the carto; this is normal and not indicative of how much juice is in the bottom of the cartomizer, where the heating coil is. When you first notice a little bit of burnt taste, top off the carto to prevent burning the filler. Once you burn the filler, you will never get the burnt taste out of a carto and it will be ruined.
After some experience, you will "know" about when the carto will need topping off with more liquid.
You should be able to refill the carto multiple times. Once the draw becomes too tight or the flavor becomes muted and not improve with additional top offs, it is time to replace the carto. It's finished.

That's some good stuff for new vapors, almost impossible to know what someone will like but arming them with info is the first step to them figuring it out.
