They're pretty good, a tad bit on the airy side, but the filler is where the magic happens. It's very squishy and absorbant As they have a glossy black finish (no stickers) they are discreet and retain liquid Very well. I believe 30 drops (that is determined by the bottles being used though) There was a pretty big Beta thread about it floating around if you want to dig a little deeper.


Now thats I'm talkin about!!! That's For YOU 5Card! Really, it is. I was talking with a few customers today and everyone just LOVES you man. That MEGA is def for you!

You have some great customers isaac. But birds of a feather flock together and your a great guy so it all makes sense.

Lr 901's are excellent. I bought 5 before the store went down and I'm still using my first one. They put out tons of vapor.

Does anyone clean Iken's cartomizers? Is so, how? Thanks in advance.

Can anybody tell me how these compare to Boge LRs? Heat, draw, vapor and TH?

Thanks.

As for an update on shipments.
The first day (Monday night into Tuesday) I got 1- through 101 done and only got 75 done Wednesday. It was pretty difficult with my 3 year old. Today Val has off so I’m able to concentrate more packing and hopefully fully catch up.
I’m sorry for the delay and am working as hard as can be for you guys. :thumb:

Hey Pizza,
Here's a little rundown I typed up the other night to a customer. I think you may find it useful :)


Ok first there is the Platinum which is much like the boge with the airy type draw and loose filler with a vertical coil set up. Vertical coil runs through the cartomizers as to generate heat throughout the body of the unit for that intense of a burn. Ours are modified like everything else. As for the Boge, we added 30% more filler in the same fashion of it being loose with a heightened resistance coil. It's still for a person who enjoys a warmer performer. It does go through liquid fast though. There are two options I can suggest but we need to find out what is "too hot" for you and what you may/maynot like. If you were to have a scale that holds 4 things. Which would be at the top, middle and last in Flavor, actual feel (throat hit), capacity and Vapor production? There is the 510 Mega STD which performs at the cooler side of vaping, many people seem to enjoy it more as it derives from the 808 mega in terms of 60 drops of liquid and the slow burning. It's not as intense as the LR version, but really our Lr's are not dangerously low. E-liquid does have unsafe temps but honestly I don't know the threshold. The Mega 808 does beat the 510 in flavor though, they're called Mega because they are about a size and a half of a Gold or Plat. The Gold also run on the cooler side, they have a more tighter woven braid and holds about 30 drops. The GoldV2 is definitely a hot seller as it can do 3.7V or 5V without a problem. It does run on the cool side on 3.7v and breaks in just fine. More flavorful than any 510 carto's. The 808STD and 901LR cartomizers( which would probably need an adapter if your Riva isn't 901 native) is my personal faves and high sellers as they give what a 510 can't, high flavor.
If you want to know more, I might be harder to get into contact with over the next few days but will answer your mails with a little given time. :) Sincerely, Isaac

Thanks for everything Isaac. My order is "out for delivery" to me today, and I'm friends with my usps delivery guy, so I know I'll have it by 4pm.:thumb:
Enjoy that 3 year old too...they will be 23 tomorrow.:(
My baby turns 29 in December and I'd give almost anything to have her back at 2 or 3 again.
They just don't stay little long enough for me...

Have a great day....we appreciate all you do for us.

Thanks Isaac! Mine would be, #1-TH #2-Flavor #3-vapor production #4-capacity

And I like it pretty warm.

Are the 901LR the warmest you have? And good TH and flavor? I tried to get a couple, with an adapter, but I was too slow.

I'm anxiously waiting for my Gold V2's and Premium Platinum!!

You, and the whole "crew" here, are GREAT!!! Thanks!

Thanks Vaporologist!! Too bad he's out of them. I wanted to get a couple of those, and an and adapter, to try with the others. Have you ever tried the gold V2 or Premium Platinum? Will they hold me over (satisfy me) ? As in, are they close? I'm really trying to not order any more Boge LRs. I really want to find one of Isaac's that will work for me. They way everybody says that they last so long will save me tons of $$$!

I am actually vaping the 510 Gold V2 right now on my ProVari. I started it at 4.2V and worked it up to 5V where it's at right now. I'm not sure it will give you the TH you are looking for at 3.7V, and 6V is too much for it. But the LR KR-808 is pretty impressive. It's a little long since it holds almost 60 drops but it delivers a nice punch and has a great flavor. You will need the 510-901 adapter for it. The LR KR-808 would be my second choice if the LR 901 carto is not available.

Thanks to both of you! I have heard a lot about the 808s and have been wanting to try them. I didn't know they were the same thread as a 901! That's great news. Thanks Vaporologist!!

And, IsaacClarke, thanks for the note on the dual coil! I've been looking at those as well, but holding off because their not Ikenvapes. I still may try them, first I'll see how the Platinum Premiums and V2 golds do me. Then, I'll try the LR901 and 808s as soon as Isaac gets them in (and gets the adapters too).

<hint><hint> If you're reading this SWITCHED, I bet a LOT of our questions wouldn't be needed if you could find the time to update your "Ikenvape Comparitive Cartomizer Review"! I'm sure that's not the exact name, but it is awesome!!!! But, a little out dated. Thanks All!!
