LOL! Hey, do you think I would like these at 3.7V? Do they deliver a punch?

I just set my pv to 3.7 volts for you and it hit great. Lots of vapor and at 3.7 volts it was pulling 1.09 amps. A little cooler than I like but still at a workable level. That was 3.7 loaded volts.

Thanks 5card! How would you rate TH from 1-10? Thanks in advance.

Hard to say VP, I have followed your observations and have come to understand your likes with HV vaping. So I cannot pronounce myself there. I will say this though, they are worth trying, and I believe you will be pleasantly surprised and pleased, if nothing else, you'll get a free drip tip in the process :) My review is forthcoming...

Switched are you vaping here or just hyperventilating?

OMG, that is freaking hilarious!!! :laugh:

Switched, you really need to make this your permanent avatar, for sure!!!

Brings tailpiping to a whole new dimension. Dontcha think? :lol: It's just in the prototype stages at this point. Maybe someone will improve on the design.

Edit: It provides a reckless nose hit :lol::banana::lol: Yup! it has been saved to my desktop. :)

Disclaimer: I recently had to switch to all VG liquids as I have developed a sensitivity to PG. All my liquids now are roll your own.

As in the past I still cut my VG with distilled water and these all VG mixes are very similar to what I used before wrt liquid viscosity. For comparative purposes only VG is known to:
  • had a certain amount of sweetness to the vape. This is a moot point here;
  • produces more vapour than straight PG liquids;
  • produces a milder throat hit than what is produced with a PG blend; and
  • diminish flavour delivery. Although the latter may be true, rolling your own alleviates this conception.

First Impressions
  • the cartos metered in at 2.6Ohm, they are designed for 3.7 – 4V vaping;
  • they are stainless and come fitted with a drip tip;
  • they are only slightly longer than a normal carto (2mm);
  • they take 30 drops on a fresh charge;
  • the polyfill batting seems normal complete with protective sheating. However, as others have observed, it does seem to be “looser” compared to other cartos I have tried; and
  • the centre post seems to be adjustable. I have played with mine in both directions and nothing happened?

As a vaper I am critical wrt equipment. I believe when we receive our package from the postman, whatever we receive should be ready to go without having to fuss with it, whether it be a device, atomisers or cartos. No fussing with these cartos, they simply rock! :thumbs:

Discussion

These cartos where tested on both the eGo at 3.2V and my box eGo at 3.7V with an AW 18650 - 2600mAh power source. The liquid used was RY4 and Blackberry Menthol @18mg. The liquids where all VG at a 80/20 ratio VG/H2O

Others have described the draw as loose and I support these findings as well. However, as I do not like an airy draw as discussed in previous reviews, the draw on this cartomiser is anything but airy. Loose yes, but not airy, if that makes sense.

I installed the RY4 freshly charged carto on my eGo and gave it a priming puff. I then took a normal 2-3 sec hit. Wow! I am impressed. Full flavour was delivered with a decent throat hit and plumes of vapour, although the latter is to be expected with my mix, I believe from my experience, they are great vapour generators regardless.

Vapour 4/5
Flavour 4/5
TH 2.5/5

I then installed the BB Menthol one on the eGo. Same observations as before, with the exception of a greater throat hit, expected with a menthol vape.

Vapour 4/5
Flavour 4.5/5
TH 3/5

The cartomiser delivered straight out of the box, as one would expect a carto to work. One did not have to go through any funky taste etc... the liquid flavour was fresh and precise. The draw was extremely smooth, full and easy. I believe it has everything to do with the looseness of the filling allowing unrestricted wicking to the atty. This coming from an all VG liquid is something indeed.

Next in line was my 3.7V eGo. Same results as previously discussed, but a much warmer vape. Increase all ratings by 0.5.

I have not tested them above 3.7V at this time. I particularly do not want too LOL. I want to enjoy these here for another day :), before I stepped them up to 4.2 and 5V, because as we know once we go up we can't come down.

In conclusion I will follow up as the testing continues. IMHO these cartos absolutely rock. These cartos are easily kept moist. I believe this is by design, so kudos to the developers. I add 10 drops every so often just to maintain them moist. Sometimes I will get a gurgling sound, which tells me they didn't really require a refill.

I didn't understand the need for such a contraption, dripping a carto. Many have adopted this habit with the E2s (shakes head), what is the purpose of the E2 if you are going to drip with it. These on the other hand are just a convenient way to refill as required. Furthermore, what really like about these, although using all VG liquid, not once did I have to blow in the end for the liquid to find the batting.

Yes folks we have a winner here. Well done, and Isaac, you better bring in a ton of 'em because they will not last.

I agree. These cartos are very well made, and perform like a champ. I personally think they're just a bit better on a 3.7v mod which can deliver voltage around 4v rather than on something with a bit less power like the eGo.

I do almost wish there was a mm or two more between the top of the filler and the bottom of the drip tip, though. You will overfill these from time to time when you are topping it off, and end up with a little "juicy mouth". :)

Awesome review especially with stocking up with a ton of these....... and I couldn't agree more with the above statement.... the main reason I started using drip tips on a carto is for ease of use when ready to refill.... so I don't have to bring an extra tool with me on the go to pry that rubber cap off.... :) I just pop off the drip tip and I hold it in between my lips when in the car... then drip a few drops, pop the drip tip back on and I'm good to go..... plus if you kinda overfill it, the drip tip helps keep the e-liquid from getting in the mouth when puffing.... so yea with drip tips flying standard with these cartos is simply a sweet idea..... :)

Bump on what AngusATAT said,,, I'm really enjoying mine in the 4's range big time, just a really smooth, plumes of vapor, great tasting carto from 4-4.8 with 4.3-4.5 being my particular sweet spot on these. I just want some Iken juice to drip in them haha

I agee with the 4 range I been running mine happily fom 4.2 to 4.6.

A follow up from the 3.7V experience, these cartos remain relatively cool even taking multiple hits (3-5 sec), and remain cool under normal vaping conditions. I am not sure what the latter means, not vaping it like a freight train is probably as accurate a description as I can come up with.

After 2 days of enjoyment out of these. I decided it was time to step them up a notch to 4.2 volts regulated providing 3.99V under load, with and without cone on my VV eGo. I did the with and without as not everyone has a VV eGo so *I want to provide the info for the 4.2V un-coned as well.

There was not a large difference uping the voltage wrt performance, with the exception that they run a little hotter and go through juice allot quicker. This was with and without cone. There was a definite increase in TH however and that number can be increased by 0.5 on both liquids. A little more with the Bb Menthol.

Often there is a flavour change when uping the voltage this was not noticeable and the flavour remained true. This of course is entirely subjective and you mileage may vary as I am 100% VG now for the lack of a bater word. That being said, I have had no problems with wicking or the material feeding the coil adequately. However, I am also cognisant that VG does not wick as well as PG liquids and take that into consideration on my pulls. The construction of these permit the use of all VG liquids and because vapour production is greater with 100% VG liquids, taking shorter pulls provides the same feeling of "fullness" as longer pulls with straight PG liquids. <---- I hope this makes sense.

The draw on the RY4 carto is starting to stiffen up, and that is the result of the particular flavouring I am currently using. RY4 from Xtreme Vaping. This particular flavour has clogged my regular attys quicker as well, so it is not attributed to the cartos themselves as the Bb Menthol has remained unchanged.

Tomorrow I will raise the notch to 5V and see what transpires there. I believe the RY4 carto will not perform as well, but as stated that is more to do with the liquid used vice the carto.

Disclaimer: This is my first review using 100% VG liquid so YMMV, on the other hand folks who strictly use VG as well, will be pleased with these cartos. :thumbs:
