Hi folks,
After an interminable wait, my cartomegas and atomegas finally got here.
As a rule, whenever I get atties or cartos in from any supplier, the first thing I do is test the ohms on a (Beckman HD130) volt/ohm meter. This way I also know if any are DOA (hasn't happened to me yet) or wonky. The cartomega weighs in at 2.5-2.6 ohms and the atomega comes in at the Joye standard 2.3 ohms. They both fit on the standard diameter 510 batteries. It looks a bit odd, (okay, really odd) but works. And, of course, they fit the Tornado. And by fit, I mean it is clear that these are made for this style and diameter of product. The metal atomega in platinum is a seamless match for the platinum battery. Emblazoned near the battery end, there is the full color devil head logo that we are familiar with. The plastic cartomega is all black and is missing the logo but still looks sharp. No mistake about where these came from.
I made a slight mistake when (after blowing out the primer) I tried the highPing mod that I use on all my atties. I then proceeded to measure 2ml of Key Lime Freeze into the empty cart. It almost filled it. I then gently slipped the halved filler in with tweezers, taking care to let the juice seep into the filler. I primed it with a few drops and after a few 'remove the primer vapes without inhaling' I inhaled my first vape. The vapor production was about what I expected from 2.3 ohms, just a tad bit more. The throat hit was what I expected from the juice. However, the flavor seemed just a bit more pronounced. It could be from the wide, low bridge on the atty. It might be from the 901-esque (on steroids) black mouthpiece. I vaped moderately for about an hour exclusively on this unit (I normally rotate units). No drying up, no topping off and no problems. Just consistent vapor. I then set it down for a while (coming back to my HighPing mistake) and found that as long as I was vaping there was no flooding but as soon as I stopped, the juice flow was too much for the atty and using the HighPing mod, it would flood (for me). So I replaced the other half of the filler and all was well, no flooding, just goodness. I suggest leaving the filler intact and using only about 1.8ml - 2ml of juice, still more than any other cartridge made. Sadly, it would appear that 2.5ml is just a bit too much for the atomega (with filler).
When assembled, the mouthpiece/atty was a bit longer than the exposed part of the battery/switch. Still, it looks like it was meant to be.
Note: You could drip but it's tail piping or using an empty carto.
I am now in the middle of testing the plastic shelled cartomega. They came pre-filled with one of the tasty TW tobacco flavors. I have yet to vape it empty, but just looking at it, it might hold more (2.5ml?) than the atomega. The vapor volume, on the same Tornado battery, seems (to me) to be a bit more, than the atomega, really great volume. The TH with this juice is a bit more, but good. The prefilled flavor comes through loud and clear.
Because I have other units that I use (see my signature), I knew that the metal atomega wasn't going to work without battery extensions, but I was hoping to be able to use the plastic cartomega on my non-Tornado units. It can be done. I carefully trimmed 7mm of of the plastic 'skirt' on the threaded end and now this cartomega (I got 5 to try out) works great on all except for the recessed connector of the 2AA box mod. With an extension or by trimming more of the skirt off, it will work.
The cartomega is about 3/4 the length of the battery/switch when assembled. Looks okay, just not as good as the atomega.
All in all, I am quite pleased (if not slightly intox-nic-ated) by these well made units. I will buy more. And I'll see if they last as long as some of the regular atties/cartomizers I now use. But for now, I think I could really put a 1000mah Tornado battery to good use!
