Horizontal Cartomizer

[padejash]

Forgive the noob question, but what the heck is a horizontal cartomizer? Can't all cartomizer's be used horizontally?

 

[QusieQ]

I think horizontal refers to coil placement

 

[speedemon]

Coil is horizontal on bottom of carto.

Look into the top of your carto. Do you see a wire? If so, it's a vertical coil. If not, it's a horizontal coil. It refers to the coil placement in the cartomizer.

I am curious. What's the advantage of horizontal coil cartos? Can anyone elaborate?

 

[Tersur]

Hmm This is one thing ive never tried. Damn you Ecfers. Always parading something shiny and new for me to go buy!

 

[inanitydefined]

one distinct advantage... I had a disposable with a horizontal coil. The juice in it was terrible so I pulled out the stuffing and dripped on it. Worked like a champ.
I would like to know how everyone feels about wicking and flavor between the two with the filler in. Bottom coil also strikes me as easier to rebuild

I use a Volt from Smokelessimage and it is a KR808 with cartos that have a horizontal coil. They work really well and produce tons of vapor. They are at the bottom of the carto where all the juice goes so it all gets used up.

 

[inanitydefined]

Retriever you make an excellent point. When I use clear DCC I notice there's alway a little pool at the bottom even when the carto is far to dry for my liking

I've used Kanger 1.5 cartos for approx. 2 months and have been very pleased with their performance. As was stated above, vapor production is generally good and QC seems to be good as well. I have many loaded with a varity of juice, some 100% vg (boba's bounty), and have not had any problem with clogging etc.

Last order I placed, I got a bunch of Kanger HC cartos. Very happy. Didn't like the Boge carto's, but the Kanger ones give great th, vapour and flavour. And you can't beat less than $5 for a pack of 5!

General consensus on the forum is that KR808D-1 horizontal coils are far superior...
--Smokeless Image Volt
--Bloog MaxxFusion
--Halo G6

I don't know why, because I've never used one, but that is most definitely the general consensus.

The coil on the bottom uses the juice more effectively, tends not to give dry hits as much and produces nearly as much vapor as a dual coil without shortening battery life. It doesn't get as hot as a dual coil so flavor is better. Because the coil is at the bottom instead of wrapped in the middle of the material, you can remove the material for cleaning and also adjust it if you are getting too hard or too airy of a draw.

The horizontal dual coils do put a coil further up into the wick so you lose a little of the clean & adjust but the vapor is incredible.

KANGER. I use them on my Provari, my favorite next to dripping on my dual coil atty.
