I bought a few of these on a whim to fill out a Cignot order for free shipping, and having had a growing curiosity about cartomizers. I'll quickly admit I hadn't researched the purchase enough, choosing instead to read up after my order was made.

Syringe fill went fine, but I'm not sure I'll want to deal with that on a regular basis. Had I to do it again, I would have preferred something with a larger filler port to enable use of the condom fill approach instead of a syringe.

I'm mainly a dripper, so I'm a little disappointed that the mouthpiece is integral to the unit and can't be removed and replaced with a drip tip. Because the carto is screw-on (unlike a 510 cartridge) and needs to be taut, it doesn't provide the flexibility to position the whistle-tip to a position favorable both to the mouth and a favored button-pushing position. My switch is at about one-o-clock, ideal for an index finger push, but I'm a thumb-pusher and the angle is a little off. I'll live.

The good points: juice capacity (2ML, I'm told--but I didn't push it on the first try), flavor, and vapor delivery are quite good. For those who don't have the particular vaping preferences I have and aren't phased by syringes, the Joye eGo carto may be a good choice and I'll likely hang onto some of these and appreciate them for how well they work and the convenience of cartos (maybe PIF'ing some as well). But my next carto purchase will be something that answers my criticisms above, hoping that they deliver vapor as well as these do.

I have mixed feelings about the ego cartomizer also. The first one I tried developed a short on the second day and took two ego batteries with it see:http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ga-ego-caromizer-just-distroyed-two-egos.html

But I read many post by people about ego cartomizers and none had experienced a short - and I had others already bought so I tried another. The second one I tried - I filled with this very dark strong atty killer flavor I make using primarily LoeAnns chocolate-hazelnut flavoring and it lasted 4 days. The third one I filled with a light clear Butter-rum flavoring and it has lasted 2 weeks of daily use - half the time on my ego and hall the time on a 5 volt passthrough - and it is still going strong.

The thing I love about it is its looks - it looks great with an ego - I love the look a lot better then the cone. Its vapor production and taste are great.

I don't mind syringe filling since I have used syringes for there original purpose for years and am comfortable with them. And i saw the following video which shows how to hook a 5ml bottle to the thread end of the cartomizer to catch drips -
YouTube - How to Refill eGo Cartomizers
of course seeing the drips coming out is discouraging because after 2 weeks the drips coming out are black and I wonder what i am really vaping.

I lost the inner cap on this one after a couple of days of use and it hasn't been missed. I have also not figured out how to easily change flavors using one. On regular cartos I just blow them out and then refill with a new flavor - but I triad blowing this one out and could not so I have kept using the same flavor.

OK, so what do I have here? Next morning, I decided to top up carto #1, having filled it a bit conservatively and vaped on it fairly much the night before. After that, weak vapor, then no vapor. I put it down and tried later. Again weak vapor, then no vapor. Subsequent attempt, no vapor. Did I kill it? Flood it?
