LR attys and Carts... My findings.

[br0kn]

Since no one that replied to my first post asking questions about LR attys and NOT dripping, I figured I'd post what I've self learned...


1. Overfill the cart, and get used to that bubble sound when your vaping:

Most people who use LR attys are dripping, I'm not, so overfill is pretty much manditory.

2. Refill the cart every 3 mins or so:

The second you start to taste something different, the atty had burned out the top of the cart's liquid.

3. I can see how dripping would be more effective, but I can't afford it:

I live in the US's 2nd poorest state, we make NO money here and I can only throw money vaping's way every week or so... so I work with what I've gotten so far.

Yes, most of the flavor's I've ordered are better on a regular Atty, but I don't get the VP or TH I do with an LR atty.

Can't tell you how long the atty is going to last, since I've only had it a week, but so far, the short list above is all I've figured out...

you can drip with what you already have. use an empty cart for the mouthpiece. remove it, drip directly into the atty, replace the mouthpiece. vape away. if you want, you can make a larger hole on the top of the cart, so that you can drip right in, or you can order a drip tip for a couple of bucks with your next order of supplies. regardless of how you choose to do it, you can drip with what you've already got, and to me, it seems that dripping actually wastes less juice than carts (thus actually being cheaper). just my 2 cents.

My experience is that LR510 atties just don't wick well enough for carts to keep up with the supply of juice needed. I HAVE found that LR901 and LR BE112 carts DO wick adequately to use with carts though. The LR901 with a "D" shaped 901 cart will work really well, BUT use the 1.7ohm type not the 1.5ohm type

I used atomizers for over a year. I always had trouble with overfilling. I guess I was doing something wrong but atomizers would not last me very long. Then I started using cartomizers. You only have to fill it up the first time and it last hours. I use much less eliquid with cartomizers. One will usually last me a day or two but at .80 (Eastmalal) this is much cheaper than atomizers.

Dripping is the lest expensive method. It's also the most effective, but requires you to remove the plastic cart to drip, or get a drip tip. Some people see it as extra effort to drip; I think it is easier than messing with cartos. Most atties will last you at least a month, if not more, assuming you are good to them (clean/blow out and don't overheat them). To each their own.

Make your own juice, instead of buying the overpriced stuff all over the net. If your paying more then .10 a ml, you are paying waaaaaaaaaaay too much.

You could even get you some gold plated bottles, then put your DIY mix inside, and still be cheaper then half of the suppliers.
