Agreed! Nothing like a fresh carto. Luckily I can hot swap a new carto into a tank in about 2 minutes flat! I don't put up with that icky flavor anymore.
I just have 3 or 4 loaded and primed, then just grab a new one. On the weekend I reload any I put in the reload tray.

It's a delight. Especially when you see it priming right and know it's going to be a good one from the get go. Simple pleasures.
Also, a carto with 6 or 7 mls of juice already through it seems to hold its worth way better than a clearo that's had even one tank go through. The drop off in performance from cartos is nowhere near that of clearos imo. Just noticed this again as I tried a a BDC clearo for the first time recently. 'This is great. Wow, these have really improved. (2 mils later) Er, what just happened.'

My first carto tank is on it's way. Used to Protanks. I'm hoping the flavor will be better with it. I've read mixed reviews on here..some people say the flavor is better on clearo tanks, some say it's better on carto tanks. What do you guys think?
I, too am looking forward to tasting my liquid on a fresh carto.

I use a couple of clearos, a few rda's on my Reos, but the majority of my mods have cartos & tanks on them. They may be old school, but darn it, they just work, and work well for me.
Those clearos are such juice hogs! I love the carts, but don't know who makes a good one and what will fit on an Ego?
You can do this with a 35mm std. length carto and a 15mm dia. tank. This s/u happens to be a 1.7Ω SmokTek carto and a IBT tank. There is a collar on the ego to hide the ego threading.
That's my problem with cartos. 3 days and I'm replacing. Tried the new BVC Aspire and I'm sold after two weeks on the same coil.
Why can't we get a carto that lasts? I would love to go back.

I changed my DIY mix, more PG and a little less NET, and am now getting about a week. At less than $1 each, that is liveable.

Bernie, maybe that's what I'm missing. I vape 50/50 and have zero luck with a carto from more then one manufacturer. Now that I'm mixing my own liquid it might be time to try them again. I'm sure I have 15 or 20 laying around here somewhere. I simply love the taste of a fresh carto.
I went from 50/50 to 60/40 and from 15% NET to 10%, really helped on the life of the carto. Just mix a small batch and try it. Hope it helps.
I also punch a 3rd hole to make sure it stays moist and does not dry out. YMMV

Burnie, found the cartos now just waiting for some time to mix. Thanks for your insight.
I run 70/30, and still the carto is junk after 3 days. So I don't think it has anything to do with the mix unfortunately.
I'm waiting on a delivery of ikenvape Platinum K's. If I don't get better results I'm out.
FYI, you can try dripping two or three drops of juice down the center hole, then blowing really hard from the top end. It will clean out the brown gunk and make it taste a whole lot better. I extend the life of my carts by 3-4 extra days by doing this. I love my cartos, new or battle worn!
Never heard this before. I'll give it a shot when my current carto goes bad (probably tomorrow given my typical 3 day lifespan)... If this works, I'll be very happy to be able to extend the life of a carto, even if just a couple more days.
