LOL Ah very cool! The 01 WRX is my 2nd favorite. I have an SVX for the longest time and still do! Just put it away in a garage. It's way too pretty to be driving out and about. Good call on picking the right choice to be a fanatic with.

V5 JDM STi is, and always will be, my favorite ;) I personally own a 2000 Impreza RS Sedan... and I baby it. Only 85k miles on it, original owner - but it's starting to get Subaru cancer... silly New England lol.

Anyhow! I have money now, let me know when you want it :p lmao

Now that is impressive! They do say 5V is the sweet spot! LOL
Ok, Your an Ego guy, you can always up it to a Riva (3.7V) instead of the 3.4V.
What I would say is to hang back for a Mega 510 that's coming. It is a bit taller than the norm. but should last a very long time between refills. We based the 808 mega innards off of it. Or you can jump on the platinum that will also be here very soon. It does burn hotter and juice consumption rate is higher though. or you can pick up a stealth adapter to accommodate for size and jump on the Mini 801 or 901 2.0 atomizer and cartomizer alike. Plust the LR 306 and 510 atties are coming in, in just a bit. ;)

Thats the funny thing about cartos. Sometimes you get a perfect one. Its like that great white whale youve been searching for....... It draws perfect, it produces perfect vapor at the perfect temperature. .......

Your bringing me closer to the white whale Isaac. Now lets get stocked up :p and some non LR stuff 2.5+ohms and up ;) Bring on the cartos!

I'll report on my small experience with their longevity.

I ordered 3 in late November; filled 2 with my fave juices, used them as my primary vapes in rotation with occasional changes to other setups for variety, but those two were used basically all day every day for 6-8 weeks (I go through about 2-4ml per day). After a month or so, the one with the darker juice started to clog up a bit. I dripped in some PG (it's a solvent, remember) - that thinned out the clog and I went another week or so with it before I broke down and did some hot-water cleaning. It's not a lot better now, I think I let the buildup go too far, and it got a little burnt taste to it. But that flavor is Butter Pecan (dark, and thick) so I think the burnt is carmelization, not carto material, judging by the taste. My only batteries are elderly stock 510s and newer eGos so it's not from high voltage.

The primary reason I stopped using these cartos even after the draw stiffened up from so much use - I ran out of those two juices! So I couldn't push them any farther. Now I'm in a quandary: which flavor is worthy of my remaining virgin carto until I reorder?

I tried blackberry menthol (winter blackberry from TTTeliquids) I liked it the first couple vapes, now I hate it. Got a 3ml bottle you can have if you want it. Pm me.

Just because you didn't like that one, doesn't mean another one may not be bliss as not all BBMs are created equal. :)

That is stunning longevity for a carto!

That's what I thought! I do refill cartos longer than some people probably would... but still, they are amazing cartos. My last one is now playing Hopscotch and it tastes better in the DT 510 than it does dripping on an 801 atty... I really can't understand that, but there you have it. (I suspect Isaac might be a genius.)
