First of all, can't believe how fast I received these. Ordered on Friday night & they were in my mailbox on Monday!
If you've only been using regular cartos, you'll sure want to try these. IMHO I believe these provide a much better experience. So far I've only vaped these mega cartos at 3.7 - haven't found the need to up it to 5v yet. So here are my initial impressions compared to the regular cartos.
1. Bigger capacity. I use the carto condom fill method from battery end and these blanks take about 1 1/3 ml of
juice. Since I don't count drops or measure precisely, this is an estimate. I use the condoms from the old cartos which hold about a ml & the fill was just short of 1 1/2 condoms worth. The megas are just a bit taller than the regulars & I think they have more filler (at least they look that way!)
2.
Enhanced flavor. I haven't had these long enough to try a lot of different flavors in them yet, but so far the flavor seems better at 3.7 v than with the regular cartos. I also think the flavor seems "smoother", but not with a loss of throat hit.
3.
More Vapor. OK, my mixtures vary anywhere from 35% to 100% VG & so I've always had a lot of vapor with the regular cartos. But these have MEGA vapor.
4.
Cooler carto. The carto shell itself doesn't get as hot as the regulars, but I still get that warm vapor that I love with cartos.
5.
Easily removed cap. No tools required on this soft rubber cap!
Just as with all styles of cartos, you can see ever so slight variations from carto to carto as far as the inside appearance goes.
I debated on whether to include a comparison here to some of the other vendors' newest cartos since this is the NHaler subforum, but figured comparisons will be ultimately be made by most consumers any way. So, I'll try to word my comments in an appropriate manner.
If you've tried some of the other higher resistance cartos, you'll find these quite similar in performance. In fact, the outer packaging is the same with each carto in its own cellophane wrapper and the condoms are a bit taller, thinner, and have "nubs" rather than plugs. There are a few small differences. The soft end cap on the Mega cartos is not quite as deep as the others. Which is good for those cartos that have a higher (taller?) level of filling. Also, the hole on the battery end is slightly different. Size seems the same (smaller hole than on regular cartos), but the cut is a little different. Not sure what that means in the grand scheme of things, but there it is. However, the 4 notches at the bottom of the carto are identical.
I've found that some of my "other" higher resistance cartos were better on my Xhaler at 5 v as opposed to 3.7 v. Granted, a lot of variables here with different juices & just the differences from carto to carto. But I haven't had Drew's Mega cartos long enough to really evaluate that here.
And did I mention that I like the look of the stainless carto?
Wow...sorry for the wall of text. I don't post much...just don't have the time. But since no one else had posted about these Mega cartos, felt the need. And Drew's prices are great!
