And considering they showed up in my mailbox today... I agree! Very interesting! 
First impressions:
Once I got them out of the envelope, the first thing that crossed my mind is.... oooh, this looks nice. Kinda classy. Basically it's a long SS 510 carto with a shorty SS drip tip. I checked the resistance, and one measures 2.4 ohms while the other was 2.5 ohms.
Since these little fellas were designed for dripping, I forgo the usual method of completely filling a carto, and put it right on my mod and dripped 20 drops of my Amaretto Stone Sour from TV in through the tip. The bottles from TV have a pointy tip, so the drops come out small. I figure this is the equivalent of 12 to 14 normal sized drops. The mod I am using right now is a "3.7v" Big Brother with two high drain 14500 batts. I put fresh batts in the mod, and am getting 4.11v right off the bat.
I'd say it has a "medium" draw. Not too light, not too hard. Vapor production is really good, kinda like the mega 808 cartos we tried out earlier. juice flavor is on par with what you would expect from a cartomizer. So far, me likey.
I'm not sure if you should ship each of these with a drip tip when they go up for sale, though. If someone liked them enough to buy them regularly, they would end up with a boatload of drip tips.
The drip tips are pretty nice, though. They have a nice wide mouth to them, and are very easy to drip with.
Will post more later.

Cool Angus. You got in on it early this time. Did ya bribe the mailman Looking fwd to reviewing these as well.
Looking fwd to reviewing these as well.Well, considering how many times I had to wait patiently while the rest of you were posting about your goodies, I think I'm entitled, lol. By the time I finally got mine to try out, pretty much all I could say was "Yeah... what those guys said."
Update: These cartos really like to be wet and stay wet. I would suggest that others fill them up completely before using for the first time.

That's what I plan on doing How else are we suppose to know how much they take LOL. No seriously, they do need to be wet and topping off makes for good vapour.

No seriously, they do need to be wet and topping off makes for good vapour.I didn't fill it initially because I wanted to see how it handled being used just with frequent dripping. You just know that since it doesn't look like a carto, that someone is going to treat it like an atty.
Well I got mine and put some liquid in it put it on the Buzz and I got a small wisp of vapor and an awful taste. I turned the Buzz down and the same thing. I turned it back to 4.3 volts and it worked wonderful I turned it down a touch and back to nothing. I thought how can this only work at one setting. Well I finally figured out it was not connecting good. I took it back off and looked at the end and it's got the coolest little tube in the end with a slot on each side. I puled it out just a pinch and now it's working great. The draw is as Angus already attested to. I'm going to do some testing tonight and post some results tomorrow. I can tell these are another one of Ikenvapes great achievements. BTW I put thirty drops in mine.
Look at Angus busting out of the gate! Haha Priority.I'm not sure if you should ship each of these with a drip tip when they go up for sale, though. If someone liked them enough to buy them regularly, they would end up with a boatload of drip tips.

I'm glad your liking it so far, for the draw we used something brand spankin new. Check out the bottom center post when you get a chance. The drip tip is a solid standard my good man or how else would it be a standard dripping cartomizer?
This is what I tested on the 510 with drip tip from Ikenvape.
These are stainless steel with a 510 connection and a nice metal drip tip. The drip tip has a small o-ring to make it fit snug and not leak any air. These are the same length as a regular 510 without the drip tip installed but look much longer because the do have the tip on them. They are very nice looking with the shiny metal. The filler however comes up higher than a regular 510. Both metered out at 2.7 ohms. I filled it like any other 510 cartomizer with 30 drops of 555 and went up from there. I started using them like any cartomizer and then switched to drip. The draw is about like any 510 cartomizer. The vapor is very good which seems to be a trademark for Ikenvape cartomizers. From 5.2 volts to about 3.7 is where I found them to work the best for normal vaping. Above 5.2 volts up to 6 volts you need to use them as a drip but they still work great at this level with no burnt taste and plenty of vapor. I just made sure to drip and keep it wet.
From 3.7 down to 3.2 the vapor is still good but gets cooler and about the same as a regular PV. I didn't go any lower as 3.2 the production was starting to get weak but no one vapes at that level any way. Here are the Volt amp readings I tested them at.
6.0 volts at 1.64 amps
5.4 volts at 1.54 amps
5.2 volts at 1.49 amps
5.0 volts at 1.45 amps
4.5 volts at 1.28 amps
4.2 volts at 1.20 amps
4.0 volts at 1.14 amps
3.7 volts at 1.04 amps
3.5 volts at 0.98 amps
3.2 volts at 0.90 amps still produces vapor good but very cool and weak taste.
I'll post more as I use them more.

A quick note... these cartos seem to have an adjustable draw. (Thanks for making me look, Isaac!) Meaning that the center pin seems to "float" a bit, so you can tighten it down to tighten the draw, or unscrew it a little to make the draw lighter.
Nice little bonus feature, methinks.

I thought that was for adjusting the post for making contact. Great I'm going to play with that a little.
I got a dripper system on the way to use with these and after reading about the fantastic attys Iken has I'm going to try them on for size.

I'm telling you this baby really puts out some vapor. But your sure making it hard to chose. I don't really have to though because I got 3 PVs going. My main one has this driptip 510 carto on it the other one has a 801/510 fusion on it and the last one has the Mega 808 on it.
First off, Iken thank you for including me in the beta testing... And this is my honest opinion....
I love these cartomizers.... I would even say better than the boges. I've been a huge fan of the boge 510 cartos since they came out.... as a matter of fact the boge 510 cartos got me back to vaping cartos... previous cartomizers were not cutting it. But these betta 510 cartos are slapping the boges cartos .... all over town.
These drip tip ready 510 cartos have a smooth and constant draw... not like sucking on an open straw but with an easy draw to where it hits the coil, in the carto, just right for an even vapor production, so it doesn't burn and dry out the carto as easily as other cartos do... which in effect allows a longer duration between filling. Also, filling these bad boys are quick and easy. The flavor is great and constant just as good as the fusion 801 cartos. Also, I'm not getting that scratchy feeling in the back of my throat as I would get from the boges... I'm not referring to the TH from the nicotine but an annoying dry scratchy feeling.
For sips and giggles, I am currently using these cartos with a bottle Juice feeder which is working quite well. All I do is tilt the carto towards the bottle about .45 degrees and sqeeze a few time and I'm back in business.
I give this drip tip 510 carto a 12 out of 10 score (extra 2 points goes to the added drip tip)... I just can't find anything wrong with them.... Iken you just have to stock up on these..... I guess I'll give my other cartos away as a christmas gift...
Oh almost forgot the vapor production is just awesome.... and for a quick refill you can use the drip tips for refilling.... just tilt the ecig a little and drip 3 drops 1 every second for absorption purposes.... just dont forget to tilt the ecig.... you dont want to get the eliquid down the center or you'll have some leakage.... Other than that.....

Any idea when you'll have those for sale to the rest of us? Just checking, just ordered 50 of the 808 Mega's... Would like to get some of these new 510 goodies!
Ok great! I'll pack a couple in for you with your Big order! They typically go on sale 1 week after the trial and if they make the Betas' satisfied.
I want to be a tester, how does one become a tester? Recently I've discovered dripping with my new drip tip and love the cleaner taste. I'll gladly post a review since I've been using different models/set-ups over a year!
