LR atty or LR carto?

[Nonamigo]

Hey ladies and gents. Could you please help me by answering a few questions?
At the moment I'm using my ego with 510 LR attys. Only dripping. But Id like to get more flavor. And I heard that cartos give more flavor than the attys. So the questions are:
1 is it even true?
2 how long do they last (510 LR attys)
3 will they fit under ego's cone?
4 do I need to clean them like I clean my attys?
5 what about vapor production and TH?

And one more question. People say that 901 carto is even better. How true is it? If I get a 901 to ego adaptor and the atty will I still be able to use it with the cone?
Thank you all in advance! Have a good time!

Here's my opinion:

1) LR atty's give more flavor than LR carto's.
2) I average 2 months from my LR atty's
3) Yes the cone will fit
4) You can clean them but I don't think it's worth it so I toss them when they taste bad
5) LR atty's give more vapor and TH than LR carto's
6) 901's perform the same as 510's for me, can't tell the difference in vapor production or TH and yes the cone will still fit

Also, just as important is to look at what e-juices you are using as some of them are very flavorful with good TH and some are.... meh, with not so much TH (*hello VG juices, yes I'm looking at you).

here is a pic of my eGo with my LR carto on it you can see the carto doesn't look out of place with the cone and stuff http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/members/shinypaladin-albums-stuff-picture29651-my-ego.html

Thank you very much. But still a few questions left unanswered
How long is cartos life span? I've heard it's only a couple of days. From where I'm from they cost around 2 euro each (3$ approx.) and LR atty costs 5.50 euro. LR attys that I bought lasts me over a month so far with no problems. So for the price of 1 atty I can get only 2 cartos. Atty lasts in average for 1 month and 2 cartos would last for only a week max so where is the catch? Why people are buying cartos if flavor, vapor and TH are better on LR attys?

You can also get LR cartomizers

well, that's what I'm trying to compare. LR carto vs LR atty

I just starting using LR carto's today but I got it because I thought it would be less messy than my atty-cart combo. So far this theory has proved true.

I'm using a dripping method so it has never been messy for me
Are there other reasons why attys are better than cartos or vice verso?

 

[Shinypaladin]

Also I have a LR Atty and personally to me they have similar taste etc. maybe after a week my senses are not as fine tuned as others yet. My carto is a boge 1.8ohm jobby.

Sorry, I was responding to this:

"Why people are buying cartos if flavor, vapor and TH are better on LR attys?"

oops.


anyhoo:
I think flavor vapor and TH is better in a standard cartomizer, though. I think that my juice tastes burned more often on an LR atty, especially if I don't let it cool between vapes.... I don't like to let it cool, I want to keep going so I don't use the LR. I think LR is supposed to provide better TH and cartos do seem to provide better flavor.

IMo, LR cartos are easier, less messy, less hassle, easier to burn and must constantly be replaced. LR atty's burn my juice unless I slow my vape, use more juice in general (again, imo), and the flavor is not as strong as with a carto (or LR carto)

It's really just preference.

Ahh see dripping would work for me at home, but when I am out and about the convenience of the carto works for me better. Its probably just a personal choice thing of course, everyone's circumstances and needs are different. I think it's just a great thing we do have these choices. I would suck at drip driving i bet.

Here in the USA you can get a box of 5 carto's for the price of one atty. My atty's last around 2 months each. A carto will usually last me a week or two depending on usage. So, I get about the same amount of usage from a box of carto's or a single atty. I don't really like using carto's but they're more convenient when I'm out so I do. I just can't wait to get home to my atty and dripping.
