Not sure what is going on there, juice definitely plays a role with everything we use, from construction (what's in it) to viscosity. This is especially apparent with cartos.

They are airy in the beginning and I usually break mine in on the eGo then, move them to my other devices. I have found this with the majority of cartos. What really surprised me was the ease of draw compared to "airy" which as you I am not fond of.

That being said you can get the odd fluke. All I know is that after testing them I placed an order for 10 more, and I am a fussy vaper. FWIW I haven't purchased any attys or cartos from any place else since Aug 2010. I don't believe in fanboyism but will endorse a product that works.

well its a little over $3 but your mainly paying for the drip tip, most suppliers sell drip tips by themselves for more than the combo at ikenvape....honestly i have like 7 of these drip tips lying around now....and dont know how im gonnna use them all, hopefully he will sell these cartos without the dt's on top soon...maybe you should shoot isaac at ikenvape a pm or email and see if he can resolve the issue for you

So this is what your saying ...Its the best cartos in the world but be careful what e-juice you use....really



it should not matter what juice we use as long its e-juice and not drano....and well it is the products fault if it does not work right, and many many folks clam there product has been tested or made a certain way and even specially designed...so yes I will blame these folks if the product is crappy and if there are issues we should be aware before we pay our hard earned money, how hard would it be to put something like this product works best with 80%pg.....and then its off there hands if someone buys it knowing this.....and if the folks cartos do not work for VG we should be aware because VG is main stream now and has been for a bit and they should update the product to fit the need....

True... to a point. There was a great deal of discussion some time back wrt pre-mature atty failure, or claimed to be pre-mature atty failure. When talking about pre-mature, it was reported within a week. Now was that the fault of a poorly designed atty or was there a common denominator. This particular discussion did not encompass the IKV attys but attys across a wide spectrum of vendors. It seemed that the common denominator of these failures was "Rath Waffle Juice" a fav amongst many vapers. It is interesting to find out that the longevity of attys increased exponentially when vaping a different liquid. Yet for the longest time the vendors were blamed for poor performance of their atomizers.

I killed a drip carto within days and a LR 306 within 4days. I normally am privileged with months and weeks of performance out of my attys and cartos. I knew going in that is was going to happen because of my suspicions of a certain liquid I had changed to. The latter was also reported in my product review. After using a different liquid it is amusing to find out that my expected longevity was there once again.

Now, I am not saying that all the various cartomizers offered here are top performers. I am not particularly fond of the fusion, yet many think this particular carto is the bees knees. How can it bee the bees knees when I don't particularly like it? Well vaping styles differ as much as Carter has liver pills. Is it a bad device? Hell no! It just doesn't suit my vaping style and needs that is all.

You can't expect a top performance engine to run great on low octane fuel. These attys and cartos have a proven track record and I believe you are going to find it difficult to convince any one here otherwise. I have bought the rest and now I simply stick with the best IMO but YMMV. I am not going to say that you are not going to get the odd dud, but I will say that the occurrence pales in comparison from my previous experiences.

Passerbye,
Your asking for the impossible. I can't possibly accommodate a product built for liquids that US based liquid manufactures concoct in their own establishments.
I know how the Real liquid manufactures produce their liquid and therefore revolve around it. Evident;y I don't have the knowledge of whats being added and can't support after market flavorings such as Loranns,Brickford etc as these flavors are not meant to be vaped. Can they? Yes, but is it it's intended purpose? No. Can they cause damage to atomizers and cartomizers alike? It's been proven. Can I held be responsible for other vendors using these flavorings in their liquids?
My liquid will be available in both PG 70PG 30VG and VG 80VG 20PG and they both work just fine with our products as they're designed to. Using VG based liquids from an actual manufacture of liquid is not an issue that needs to be stated. All these after market ingredients burn differently in which I have no control. So yes, it does matter.

Same rules apply to "Mods" We cannot be held responsible for Mods that have after market machined adapters. ie Prodigy V3. These devices have been made in translation and will overall judge the airflow. We revolve our fittings by factory standards in metrics.
It is impossible to match everyone's designs as they vary.

pfffttttt,,, these cartos simply ROCK if used correctly Ive had them last for over a month and running the proper liquid through them is very important, it's like the difference of running synthetic oil in my M-Benz compared to running a walmart motor oil through it, I stick with the synthetic and get more miles and life expectancy, just as my owners manual says to do.!

well I did figure something out, one of the cartos has got plastic down inside of it that will not come out with a real small hole I guess thats the way it is suppose to be but the other does not so maybe that is the way its suppose to be so that rules out the juices fault....so you know there is a problem with other juices in you cartos then why is that not stated on your site since your product can not handle it or is it best practice for people just to give you money to figure it out themself.....Its really sad I and others have spent so much money on e-cig stuff because these suppliers all say the same crap that theres are better or upated when all it is is the same crap rebranded with the same issues.......and anyways turns out its not even the juice the exact same cartos are made different............

Every carto I've used doesn't like thick juice or dark juice. I love these 510 Drip Tips and in the long run even at 3 bucks a pop they're cheaper because I get 3 weeks out of them. Sorry you had bad luck with them. Like I said before, People should look for members that vape the same way they do and the same juice they use (ie PG/VG ratio and color) instead of trying cartos because people say they're good. I use Wow 555, 99.5% of the time and it's 100% PG, but what works great for me isn't necessarily going to be great for someone that vapes 70/30 VG/PG. I use these like regular cartomizers though and don't use the tips.
BW I just had my 4th order delivered because I don't like being low on these ones.

Hmm, odd because all my orders from Isaac have been better than from anyone else, in my opinion.

Agreed, I think he has the best cartomizers and attys made. I have around15 different cartomizers from different vendors and manufacturers and not one of them compare to Ikenvapes.
