Is it bad to like using cartos?

[Stephanie932]

I guess I should ask, what are the reasons I shouldn't like using them????

New to everything, I started using cartos this week. I got the Boge XLs so they hold 1.6mL of juice..............I'm loving the ease of using them. Filling them.....SIMPLE (condom method)!!! Leaking.......NONE! Taste........AMAZING!!!

I have a bunch of clearos and I do have a nautilus, Kanger Pro Mini, Aspire BDC, and a Kanger EVOD...........but I am really amazed at how much I'm liking these over even the better tanks.......and the price can't be beat! So, what are the downfalls?

Am I just too new to know better?

The only real downfall is the lack of liquid held. Even that can be averted with a Carto Tank.

I use them on the MVP to reduce overall size for a more pocket friendly device as well.

What's there to Know? Besides Never Run a Carto Dry?

If you Like something, and it Isn't Off the Chart Price-wise, I say Use it.

I used Cartos for awhile, they Worked Great.

If you are enjoying it.....continue to enjoy it....seriously

Nothing wrong with cartos at all. There is a small learning curve on filling them, but once you figure it out, done. I really enjoy the performance of the XL Kanger cartos, and they hold 2.2ml, which beats out my Kanger EVOD clearos. I guess the biggest drawback would be that once they are gunked up or the polyfill burns, you have to trash them.

Maybe this is why I like them. I don't get through a tank of liquid quickly enough because I like to change out flavors so much. At one point I think I had 8 clearos going and wanted to try a new flavor. I'm so finicky.......lol I do drip using an atty, but don't like having to use a few drops constantly.

I mainly vape when driving, but my commute daily is only 10 minutes. On longer drives, I'm sure I'll just use one of the tanks. At home, I can drip or use one of these, topping it off. So, for now they seem like a really good option for me. I just didn't know if this was the best option.

Many vets use and prefer tank-cartos. They hold 5ml - 6ml of e-liquid, have better taste and consistency than clearos. And less hassle.

I would suggest moving to tank cartos for ease of use. Just make sure you get a good tank like Phiniac or IBTanked. My Phiniacs have never leaked in over a year of use. The cartos are usually good for 8 - 12 days before needing replaced. I would look at IKenvape or Smok cartos for the carto themselves.

EVEN better tanks???

Not hardly.

The so-called tanks you mentioned are just glorified and repackaged clearomizers IMO. The only thing that is tank-like about them is their appearance.

Ive found carto tanks to be superior in flavor to everything out there except rbas and dripping.

YMMV.

I second wv2wins suggestion to get a Phiniac or an IBTanked with the Smok or Ikenvapes cartos.

It's all a matter of finding what works for you. Some well hate anything you use while some will love it. All that matters is, do you like it? It's your vape. If your like most people (myself included) you will eventually try many, many things. That's how you find your perfect vape.

I have 15 mods that I use every day, and 6 of those I still use cartos with tanks on them. The others are clearos, bottom fed rda's, and a dripping atty. I still like the cartos/tanks. They work for me.

 

[smacuser]

The cartotank is reserved for my favorite liquid.

It's always there, ready for when I go out. The draw is consistent. I can dedicate 30 mils with no regrets.

 

[DreamWithin]

Nope, if they are working for you then there are no reasons to not like cartos

3+ year vaper here and I still use cartos pretty regularly. For me, some juices taste better in different delivery devices and some of my juices just perform best for me in carto tanks, so I am perfectly happy to continue to use them

Everyone's tastes are different and what they are looking for in a vape is different. Each delivery device holds different appeals and for each device there is a user whose needs match perfectly with it, cartos are no exception

 

[The Ministry]

I don't use them since migrating over to RBA's, but there's certainly nothing wrong with them.

I still have Evods/CE4/CE5's kicking about that I use from time to time. It's whatever works for you that matters really.

If it hits the spot, does what you need it to do, then it's the best atty for you end of story. Doesn't matter beyond what works for you

 

[stevegmu]

I still try new things, but have found IBTanked carto-tanks to be the easiest, most consistent toppers.

 

[SKYYcamel]

I've been vaping for 5+ years and cartos are still one of my go to toppers. A Boge carto in a good tank is hard to beat for convenience and reliability. That being said, the Aerotank Mega has stolen my heart here lately.

That is exactly what happened to me. I have 7 Ibtanks and the Aerotank Mega is vaping like a champ. I just can't put it down.

OP - No. It's not bad to like using cartos. Use what you like. It's your money and your tastes.

 

[SupplyDaddy]

I'm a confirmed BCC guy, But, I still keep cartos in my emergency backup stash... and I carry at least one in my travel pack!

I second wv2wins suggestion to get a Phiniac or an IBTanked with the Smok or Ikenvapes cartos.

+1 for the IBTank with Cartos. I could not make the transition using a Carto only on my Mod to get off of the Analogs.

Once I got my first IBTank with Smok Cartos also from IBTanked it was easy to get off of the Analogs.

++1 for the Phiniac and IBTanked cartotanks. They are absolutely the best I've tried.
