LUX XL Cartomizer

[Garnoch]

Being I posted about it in an unrelated thread, I guess it should have its own in case anyone was interested. Here's basically what I wrote...

I've only been using it today and I usually like to break them in for at least a full day so its a little too early but, here's what I think I can say about the LUX XL.... It tastes almost exactly like the original 902 carto, which I liked and a lot of people liked. To me though both tasted a little sweet almost like it wasn't burning as hot as an atty, where the new Sidesho and 902 cartos taste closer to an atty to me. That's just preference, but like I said, I still liked the old 902 and I do this as well. Burning cooler doesn't make sense though because of this... I assume because of it being 1.5 Ohms and dual coil, it does have a stronger hit and more vapor. A lot of LUX users are going to love these, especially considering it holds about 2ml of juice! I have a tough decision though. More juice and vapor, or the taste I prefer and my drip tip, which I love on the end of the LUX. Worth a try... Absolutely.

Day 2 update. As expected, the taste changed a little after a day+ of use, so what I'll actually say on taste is that it sits somewhere between the old and new 902 cartomizers.

Now onto the hit. Even though I said it was better because of it being 1.5 Ohms and dual coil, the first one may have been a dud so to speak. It was filled with Halo Menthol Ice. Last night I filled a second one but with Halo Tribeca. Holy $h!t, it made me cough and the vapor was intense. If Berube is using a LUX, he'll love these because you don't need to inhale as long to get a harder hit.

That said, I'm still not sure if I'll move to these over the excellent new 902 carto because of the reasons I originally posted.

I'm leery of mega cartos. From past experience, (not ModernVapor's cartos), a dud carto = 2-3ml of wasted juice and I really hate that, but with enough good feedback I'd try them.

I wish I understood the ohms when it comes to dual coils. Are they lr, or standard? I've read so many different explanations, but the science just goes over my head.

 

[Garnoch]

To clarify dud though, I meant that even though the first one was giving a harder hit than the 902, the second one blew the first away. I realize both had different juice, but I'm fully aware of what to expect from each juice. I know what you ken a though, because I've thought of that as well - but I've never had a bad cartomizer.

As for ohms, I honestly don't know the specs of all the attys or cartos out there, but yes, lower ohms is LR which is low resistance. Using a LR atty on a regular battery should have a similar effect of a regular atty on a higher voltage battery. Put that together with dual coils (two heating elements) and it should vaporize your juice quicker on a normal battery, which should equal less hit needed or a massive hit on the same length drag. Anyone is free to correct me if I didn't make sense.

So that "bum"carto that felt stronger than a 902 but not as strong as the second..... was perfectly fine. It was the battery. Finally had a LUX battery die. I'm actually surprised, but that being said, man do those things last way longer than any other battery I've had. I used the hell our of that specific battery.

I received my shipment of LUX XL carts yesterday. Man,this is what I have been looking for in a cartomizer. This is the closest to dripping on a SS atomizer I have found yet. Thanks MV for another great product. If you like a strong TH without being harsh you should try this cartomizer IMO.

thanks for your review

 

[Garnoch]

Two weeks on the same two cartos, each with their own flavor, and still going like new.

 

[Garnoch]

Oh, I should say though, make sure you take these off the battery to fill. Sometimes I don't but never had a problem. Unless you're really careful, its fairly easy to have juice drip through. I'm really liking these and how long they last. Next, I'll move back to the 902 and try to compare a little more.

 

[Natalia]

Thanks Garnoch, they're on my list for the next purchase. Glad to read your feedback

Garn, I have to say Tony is the bomb!! I sent my 2 dead lux batts to him and he called me personally and is replacing. Extremely generious as they were 4 months old. We don't know what killed them but may have been the mosfet chip. I was blown away. I ordered xl carots and can't wait to try them. I'm a Modern vapor man for life!! Also have some malibu ment. coming. Oh! I can't wait. You guys have been great here on the forum and I just want to say thanks again.

 

[Garnoch]

Hey, congrats, Joeman! As I say many times, you can't go wrong with their customer service and I love the hardware. Yeah maybe you had part of a bad batch. I have 5 LUX batteries and I think I might have been the first to order one and all work great still.

 

[Natalia]

Tony went way out of his way to help me a while back and I will never forget that. Good products are only as good as the people who sell them, and Modern Vapor has both covered.

(just a little love-fest for MV)

Nat, I never waste juice. I just pull out iwth a syringe or pull out filler and put into a syringe without a needle and squeese into my spare bottle. Great mixing as well.

Thank you joeman. I too have discovered the power of "reverse" with the syringe.

 

[kaeo773]

good tip, a good way to make every drop count

 

[joeman]

Another bump for tony and the gang at modern vapor!! I'm getting up early and heading to the p.o. Box to find my new batts and juice. Can't wait. My fellow vapor ordered some atty's from his supplier by mistake as he needed cartos so i am going to let him try the new xl's i ordered from you so he will find new love. Another customer for you guys. Thanks for the service!!

 

[Garnoch]

Awesome and let us know what you think - hopefully you like them enough to change your sig

 

[kaeo773]

we should should have some clear xl at the end of the week as well
