Dating back from early 2014 (IMO the best mech tube mods that I bought)... 7 of my 11 various VapourArt GP PAPS setups - 2 V3's, 4 X's, TiX#11 (SS, Alu Bronze, Titanium), 4 Herons, SNP, 2 custom Senio Drippers, GP and Signature Tips. Missing in picture is 2 X's, a 2.1, Piccolo 3.1, 2 Spheroids, endless extra switches, tubes, accessories, adapters and spare parts for all of them. The Herons and Spheroids were borderline for my DL vaping style so they didn't get used much. The very limited production TiX with all its many included accessories has never been used. Most of the use they saw was with buildable drippers and rda's.

I have actually never had or seen a carto. How did they work? There was like matrass foam around a coil or something?

You could carefully remove the filter and drip juice directly on the coils...easy way to try a new juice without WASTING a new carto (especially since the flavor was so hard to remove :)

BTW2: 2/3rds of the Fun of using Cartos was Dreaming Up Ingenious ways to Fill/Clean/Dry them.

Like this...

Laugh if you will but I actually tried taping them to a fan! (and then there was the Tayrn spin) Cartos can fly really far....ask me how I know?

these new vapers don't know nothin bout boiling an atty
lol, yeah. When the supersmoker came out in like 2007 or 2008 I figured it was smart, but probably still didn't work as well, so I wanted to wait a few years. Only to still end up with a Joyetech eGo C type. :rolleyes:

Carto's look like nifty systems for the time. But, so you needed to punch a hole in the side to check if it still had some juice??

You punch a hole in a carto before you put it inside a carto tank, so the juice can get from the tank into the carto. You can also buy cartos with holes pre-punched.

Carto Tanks were Epic.

Because you could go from a Carto that held 15 or 20 Drops (that wouldn't get you thru a Day) to a Tank that held 4 ~ 5ml.

And Carto's that you Didn't Punch could be used on Cig-a-likes for more of a Stealth Vape.

Psyclone Mods 22mm Hadaly RDA's, 24mm Kryten RDA's and accessories for them dating back to Jan & Feb 2017.

Eight 8 of their cans came with 2 Hadalay's & 6 Kryten's... and lots of boxes for various color caps and DT's for both. Pics I took of some of them.

The Hadalay's were short lived in my vaping despite the great flavor from them. The Kryten's saw longer use, but all of them went by the wayside to make room for the endless replacement atty's I always seemed to keep buying year after year.

Not one of my stellar buys for making coils way back when... an Artistic Wire Professional Deluxe Coiling Gizmo. The AW was a try it, toss it in a box and never use it deal. I liked my old ways better.

And about the same time I used a vintage Fuller Brush Hand Crank Drill that worked just fine for making twisted ready wires for coil building.

I did use the AW gizmo for coils for a while, not a total waste for $5. Went on to use it for copper jewelry as well :)

You bought yours for pocket change compared to what I got soaked for one shipped off of eBay in very early February 2014. $18

Proof that this is true in my case this time...

The AW, one of the many useless things I bought in the, once, endless quest for the best vape possible. I spent some time as a gullible budding vaper listening to too many people. I finally quit listening when I saw this:

"The biggest and most common mistake is buying product after product searching for that perfect vape
instead of learning how to get that perfect vape from the products you already have."
@tj99959

For anyone that doesn't know what a AW coiling gizmo is...
