Have cartos gotten better?

[Mare1077]

Hi. In 2010 I began vaping with kr808s and was very happy with them for a couple of months. The I got an inexpensive 510 mod and began dripping. then it took a crap on me and while I was waiting on a replacement part, I tried to go back to my kr808 but the cartos tasted really bad. They tasted like I was smoking a pillow. I couldn't deal with it, so I bought a pack of stinkies and feel off the wagon. I have recently began vaping again and haven't had a stinky in 27 days.

I have been using Riva batteries and the Riva-t tank or the vision clearos long wick version. No filler. No pillow taste. However, I have been seeing good reviews of some cartos. I am just kinda wondering if I would like them and if I should try them. I like the draw on my lr vision, but I like vaping 50/50 and get to many dry hits. I only get 2 or maybe 3 before it tastes burnt. The Riva-t wicks a lot better, but the flavor is kinda muted and it is a pretty airy draw.

I really don't want to ever buy another cigarette, but I am worried that I might if I can't find what works for me. I don't have a whole lot of money to throw around and just buy everything out there.

Any suggestions would be wonderful! Either on cartos I might like or how to make my existing stuff work better for me.

I really like dual coil cartos in a tank. The tank enables you to keep the carto perfectly moist so you never taste the filling in the carto or get dry hits. My opinion is that it would be worth picking up a few different types of cartos to see if any work for you. You can also get ST Dual Coil Carto tanks fairly inexpensive if you want to try a tank. Mine hold 6 mls of liquid and make it very convenient IMO.
I am one that never had the patience or desire to fidget enough to be a dripper.

BTW- I also use a 50/50 blend and have no issues with wicking in my tanks.

What is your existing setup? A 510 mod? What kind? There are many great cartomizers and clearomizers... What do you mean your 808 cartos tasted bad? Were they prefilled? Reason I ask is because recently I have been using blank KR808 cartos and think they aren't bad at all! Are your 808 batteries still OK? Are you looking for 808 cartomizers or 510 or both....?

I am using Riva batts with either the Riva-t (a large clearo) or the lr vision clearo with the long wicks. No, the 808s I was using weren't prefilled.

I am looking for suggestions for the Riva batts that I already have. for now that is what I can afford, but I would live to get a legacy mini by puresmoker...

Salemgold...thank you for the suggestion. It is good to hear that you can't taste the filler with a tank.

Most people that I talk to can't taste the filler on a plain carto though either. I actually thought I was just kinda weird...

Salemgold...I really don't have the patience for it anymore. Before when I was vaping I was searching for a job...now that I am employed, I really can't be dripping all day...that is why I was going with the Riva-t and the vision Clearos...

The best carto I have found is the Smoketech dualcoil. In the months I have been using them I have never got a dry,burnt hit. I use the 2.0ohm DC in a tank on my provari at 5.3v.

My second best experience is with a Phoenix bottom coil carto. Its a clear carto that gotvapes.com sells. I use the 2.8ohm but anything higher than 4.0v gives me that dreaded dry/burnt taste.
