It was a long run to the mailbox

Not really but ya know life happens, lolol, we went to the pool, kids didnt want to wait for me to open my NEW TOY so i took it with me, heehee!!!! sitting by the pool putting my toy together!!!! didnt bring juice with me so I couldnt try it there.
Ok so I have it all put together it's working fine I'm enjoying, but what is an atomized cartridge? am i missing something???
It looks like a regular ol cartridge to me!!! they are dry as a bone should they be?????
I havent gone back to see the sale ad I purchased from ;( didn't want to keep Dexter waiting too long lol) I sorta thot I was getting cartomizers???? Can I use my whistle tips in here??? and what is this funny thing cone??? that screws around the atomizer.
so in conclusion:
Are the cartridges supposed to be dry and just plain ol cartridges?
What is an Atomized Cartridge?
Do I need to use the Cone?
oh yeah, if I want to direct drip, how many drops can these hold before flooding??? any diff from my 510?
