I was right, the Smuke carts are slightly larger. Todays measurement, repeated several times:

Normal flat: 0.55ml
Smuke flat: 0.6ml
Round cart: 0.55ml
Super-flat: 0.6ml

Naturally, measuring with a syringe is not the most precise, even if that particular one has markings that show 0.01ml. It's the best I have, though. I used water and filled to the brim, so that is not what you should try to get into the cart when you want to vape.
I'll use the same one to check how much fits into a KR8 when it arrives.

Edit: Just checked my cigar: The cart hols 1ml, lasts quite long, though, because a cigar is not the most vapour-producing device out there. Tastes good, though.

I can confirm 10+ drops in a 510 without leaking, but im sure it varies by the dropper. I use the small 5ml mix bottles that squeeze drops out, vs using an eye dropper which is probably larger.

Yeah, thats what I was getting too, 10 to 12 drops, after that, it starts
leaking all over the batt.
I was vaping last nite like a fiend! :cool: and watching the telly.
I must have gone through about 10cc of juice using my Prodigy V2.
I would get board and stick in a drop of mint than maybe a few drops of orange.
I find that I like the flavor and amount of vapor much better in the VG.

To me PG has the "smoke (fog) machine" taste and smell.
I used to have a fog machine for Haloween parties and used to buy the fog juice by the qt. it smells and leaves a taste in your throat just like PG e-cig juice. I find it unpleasant.
Cant wait to try those Mege 510 carts and attys :p

Yup, I can put almost an entire 1ml syringe into a kr808-d1 empty cart. (no leakage)

Do you prefer the cartomizers over the cart + atty design?

I know my Green Smoke PV is my favorite to have in the car when driving.
I can have it hanging out of my mouth like a real cig and dont have to press a manual button. Those cartomizers can last my whole trip home from work (about 30 mins.).

It's not all about how much they hold. If they don't wick you just keep topping off a cart half full of old juice.
My experience in chronological order of purchase/use:
NPRO(4081): small carts, but wicks the carts dry, pain to pop the cart and refill, swap carts.
401: small carts, but wicks the carts dry, pain to pop the cart and refill, swap carts.
901: easy to refill, holds more but doesn't wick as well and leaks juice.
801: Holds a ton of juice, and keeps on holding it, doesn't wick, always topping off, leaks.
KR808D: Kind of hit and miss on refilling, can't wait for one to die so I can see what's been going on in there. Hard to refill on the fly, but seems to work well. Kind of large diameter but I like with a 901 whistle tip. But that would be a mod of sorts.
510: Carts don't wick, dry atty tastes NASTY. Can't chain vape at all. Nice draw and vapor, but for only 2 maybe 3 draws.
.... Just my opionion

When I fill a 510 cart that has blue foam for the wick, i find that if I just dropper the juice on top and wait for it to soak in, only 1/2 of the foam actually gets the juice. You can see this just by pulling it out, the lower half is dry.
I take a toothpick, put a few drops on the top of the foam, then gently press the foam down, fill the top with juice, then 'fluff" the wick back up.

It's like if you have a sponge, and its floating in a bowl of water, you want to squeez the sponge in the water so when it expands, it's sucking it up.

Like I said, doing that way, one little piece of blue foam will actually hold more juice then you might think :)

I use a similar method when refilling my (standard) 510 cart (with blue foam filler). I drip, then use a safety pin to kind of pull up/"fluff" the foam, poke foam back down and finish filling. Alternatively you can use a syringe with a needle, poke the needle deep into foam and fill. Just filled 2 cartridges using each method. With dripping it took 12 drops (yes really I said twelve) from a 10ml plastic bottle to fill. With the syringe it was just a hair under 0.5 mls to fill.

I use a 3ml dropper bottle and my 510 holds 20 drops.
It always has, and it always will.

And when I use blue foam, I can fill it all the way without ever taking the blue foam out.
I just tilt it sideways and it will take all 20 drops every time.

Your mileage may vary, depending on the size of your drops.

I think the 801/Joyce302 has the highest liquid capacity. But it was a big disappointment for me when I first got it. I did not know how to use it. I could not get a good cloud of vapors at all. It is completely different compared to my 901, 902, KR808D1, etc. I almost give-up using it. It is probably known to some of you the trick I discovered. Using a manual battery, with the switch OFF do a quick draw, pause and then push the switch ON and do an an easy long draw. Now see a cloud of vapor...very shocking. I think the quick draw gets the heater chamber filled up with liquid (primed up) since the cartridge is such a big volume and that the liquid has a long journey to travel, almost an inch, it needs to be kicked into the right direction, so to speak. Since my discovery I do not have to top it off or do the drip. I just refill when the tank is almost empty ( when the vapor is half as much in density).
