I just got mine yesterday as well. At this point I am really impressed with the flavor and vapor I am getting from these.

Capacity: Using a Syringe and allowing for an hour to soak through I am getting a solid 2 mils into them. I am hoping that some of these have more filling than others and I may find that some hold even more juice. Since they are holding about double what my standard 510 cartos hold I am thrilled with the capacity.

Filling: The easiest way to fill these the first time is with a syringe. I did notice on my first one that the liquid runs out the bottom and the air holes very easy when filling. Inserting a plug from a regular 510 carto and putting a tiny "O" ring (like the ones on the 510 drip tips) at the very top of the threads to block the air holes helps fix this problem.

Threads: The threads on these seem to be very clean and smooth. I have had no trouble screwing these into anything. Even my Darwins are smooth.

Draw: The draw on the ones I have used so far have been perfect. Not too tight not too airy. I did have 2 that the little center tube was pulled out above the filler. I was able to use a pair of tweezers to push it back down into place pretty easily.

Flavor/Vapor: These seem to produce even better flavor than my regular cartos. I am not really an atty fan, so not sure how they will compare there. The vapor is vastly improved over standard cartos. These are running at 2.5 ohms and I am vaping them at roughly 5 volts. This is producing much better vapor than my standard 3.5 ohm cartos running at 6 volts.

Refilling: These are no harder to refill than any other carto. In fact, they are a bit easier due to the larger diameter. I will say this though, if you don't want to deal with a plug and the "O" ring for the air holes you should refill these with the thread end in a 6 mil empty juice bottle. This way you will catch any juice that leaks out. I have only refilled mine once so far with no problems or diminished flavor or vapor. Time will tell how they hold up with multiple refills and cleaning.

Overall impression: I really like these. I just placed an order for some more. With at least a 2 mil capacity there is no reason even a heavy vapor can't get all day out of just a couple. Much less vaping gear needed for a day at work.

With the Darwin, I can adjust the power level for these cartos and find a good vape. With the eGo-T 1000mah batteries, it just doesn't seem to put out enough power to let these cartos shine. I wouldn't recommend these with the eGo batteries. I've gotten great results with the dualies and the eGo. They don't hold as much juice, but it's a better vape on those batteries.

I have to agree...With folks that are accustomed to HV vaping or simulated (LR attys or cartos) HV vaping, these are not going to compare with an LR carto or atty, and wil be dissapointing to anyone for that purpose. They are rated at 2.5 ohms and will work similar to a standard 510 on an ego battery....
