lo-res 510 cartomizers?

[col. forbin]

what's been your experience with them? and which ones are good.

i love my 510 cartos but would like a little more throat hit. i'm correct in assuming the lo-res would provide that, no?

I can't speak from experience with LR cartos first hand, but I do know they will provide a stronger TH. They are designed to provide a 5v type hit on 3.7v devices. Just be sure you're using them on a mod. They won't work for cigarette style batteries.

I've used them on my RiVa. It's actually pretty good and I credit them for the actual nudge that got me off cigarettes completely and solely vaping. Despite having smoked for 35 years, going through two packs a day, I couldn't handle them for prolonged use. My chest started to feel really tight, the same feeling you get with a night of debauchery filled with chain smoking cigarettes. Supposedly they will take a toll on a battery, both shortening the length of time you get on a charge and the overall lifespan, but I haven't noticed a problem yet with my four days of use (although I also coupled it with a 5V pass-through so it wasn't a 24/7 LR attie/battery combo).

SS, where'd you get yours? My first experience with cartos was bad...real bad. One out of five worked and those were regulation cartos. I'd like to try them out again, but I'm hesitant. I love dripping, but ya' know...gotta drive sometimes. Thanks!

I got mine from Nhaler. I have to admit, the first one I used, I didn't like. With the benefit of hindsight from my vast wealth of four weeks experience, I believe I had underfilled it. In addition, it got HOT!! So the next time, I made sure I put a lot of juice in it (I think it will hold about 1.5-2 mL, and this was just a regular, not one of the megas). I wasn't obsessive about refilling it, but with any slight perception in change of change of taste, I put more fluid in because the higher voltage does seem to go through fluid faster than at standard eGo/RiVa power. In addition, I kept the soft white top off and used one of the plastic drip tips, and it was perfect.

good thread, lets keep it going, I want to try the LR.

I get mine from Clouds of Vapor and really find their customer service and response time superior to many other companies of dealt with.

any word on the LR 501 cartos from MadVapes?

You could also look into getting a 5V pass through. You could then use the cartos you have. I had a pretty nice setup. I got the 5V passthrough from R&R Vaporz and the 2A AC/USB adaptor from MadVapes so I could be plugged into the outlet rather than risk my computer's USB port. If you spend a lot of time in one place, that's a great way to go because it will use all your regular 510 equipment and eliminates the wear and tear on batteries. I happen to have just used my regular attie and cartridge on this, but a cartomizer would work as well, again with the proviso to keep an eye on the liquid.

i ordered some from provape yesterday. they've already shipped. they're on sale btw, as are regular 510 cartos.

I ordered mine from ProVape as well. I had no complaints about them. I got them for the commute to work as I'm a dripper.
