I have ordered a BUNCH of cartos from puresmoker.com (1.49/carto, which is a pretty good price). they are listed at the "genuine joye 510 cartomizer" on the site. HOWEVER, when i ordered from another site and selected the "genuine joye 510" cartos, i got a much shorter carto that does not work NEARLY as well. PS sells THIS variety, too as the "BE Cartomizer". but since you really can't use the cone on the short 510 cartos on the eGo, i'm trying to figure out what these are actually called. anyone ever try them? they work GREAT.

as it happens, and after (literally) a couple of hours tracking it down, these are kind of new cartos. they are nicknamed "genjoye 510". AND as it happens, there are already knockoffs of these cartos. ugh. what a pain. it's hard to find them anyway, and ALREADY someone is making inferior knock offs. anyway, if you use them, let me know what you think. nothing tastes as good as these cartos. i just got an order of the knockoffs yesterday and was VERY disappointed. puresmoker.com has them. their customer service told me that they order directly from joyetech. (curiously, joyetech does not sell them direct yet on their website). they are slightly longer and slightly thinner than regular 510 cartos, so they work nicely in the eGo with the cone. i only saw reviews for them going back to mid september, and all the reviewers said they were new. they are kind of a pain to fill, but there are a few tricks i found that make it easier. they really, really make the juice tastes GREAT. i almost can't stand using my attys anymore.

Is it a case of not fitting right, or just fitting different?
I can use those short squatty cartos on my eGo, but they have to be unscrewed a little to make a better draw & I think the same thing with the cone.

What did we get you into? You sound like a genuine vaper now, electrowoman :laugh:

You've been seduced by the dark side of the vapor....

Some say "Come to the dark side; we have cookies".
Our motto:
"Come to the dark side; we've got really cool flavors!"

ba-dum-dum....:facepalm:


Well, if we got Electro stuck on flavors, then she's got me stuck on attys!
Just placed an order with PS for not only a handful of the GenJoyes, but I grabbed a BE & BE LR for kicks & some of the Carmel sumthin' that Electro reviewed. Hey; at those low prices, I had to at least spend more than what the shipping would be LOL

hahaha! now i'm an enabler!

Life was so much easier when it was just atty or carto.

Now, there's LRs, regulars, HRs, KR8 cartos (at least size wise), GenJoyes, BE510, E2 (4v is the latest? I didn't even know there was a 1-3v!), eGo cartos....and those are just the ones off the top of my head!

The whole reason MlrMan is my computer guru is I can't keep up with the ever changing world of electronics. Hell, try keeping up with the world of vaping! LOL
(but change does mean it's getting better & better! ;) )

the threads fit fine, but since they are shorter, the tip doesn't stick up very far above the cone, so it's hard to get a hit off them. thanks you YOU, MlrGrl, i did discover that the drip tips DO work on these, so that's a good solution for the dozen or so i ordered of the wrong ones. the BEs and the other "regular" 510s all take the drip tips. the "GenJoyes" don't take the drip tips because they're slightly narrower. this carto thing is really confusing, happy there are so many people willing to review them on youtube! just found more "genjoyes" cheap at heaven-gifts. they ship out of china, though, but airmail is only $3. the genjoyes were $1.30, and 6.50/box of 5. they also have tons and tons of eGo accessories there. i suspect it'll just take a lot longer to get them.

There's another work around for cartos on the eGo and for the LR306 with drip tip on the eGo, for that matter. The Riva 901 cone is a 1/2" shorter than a standard eGo 510 cone... same threads, just shorter.

so, ANY RIVA cone is 1/2" shorter? i don't have the black eGo, so i'd want to find red and silver. THANKS for the info!

Don't forget the Cisco LR 306 attys - those were the bomb at VapeFest - JKBonin tried to seduce me with one of them, but I resisted (still not sure how???)

vicks, just watched a video review of this, and it does look appealing. it doesn't look like it works w/the eGo? i know you don't use one, but did someone say different about that? quite intrigued by the MASSIVE amount of vapor i saw in that review!

NO!!!

The Riva 901 only, which is the same as the Defender (Vapornine) and probably a few other models out there. The idea was to use a 901 based threading for the specific reason you outlined... the regular 510 cone were too long for the shorter cartos. But, what I found is that the 901 Riva cone works well for LR306s too. The nice caveat is that it shortens the eGo's length overall, being that the LR306 is shorter than a 510 (as is a carto, obviously). Dig?

Long story made short -- I'm using a 1000 mah eGo battery with the 306 atty w/drip tip and Riva 901 cone. The length of the device is just a tad longer than a standard eGo 510 w/650 mah batt.

richie--did you find any other vendors that sell different colors? or, i guess i could order a riva?! hahaha. i'll do that if i have to! (hey, can ya ever have enough devices?! i blame MlrGrl for this!) i have the red and silvern (different than titanium color) eGo, and would rather just find a shorty cone in those colors. noticed the uk/aussie vendors are selling totally different colors than u.s. vendors.

:facepalm:D'oh! That was the one that was suggested I get if/when I ever get my Fistpack.
I'm going to start dreaming about that thing if it doesn't start becoming available soon....

the threads fit fine, but since they are shorter, the tip doesn't stick up very far above the cone, so it's hard to get a hit off them.
just found more "genjoyes" cheap at heaven-gifts. they ship out of china, though, but airmail is only $3. the genjoyes were $1.30, and 6.50/box of 5......i suspect it'll just take a lot longer to get them.

:blush:oh yeah; I forget that I use the whistle tips, which extends them out a little more.

$3? I never realized that. I have some things that I wanted to order from them that I'm not really in a hurry for, so I don't care how long it takes. Schweet! THX!

As long as they are used, no such thing as too many devices....or colors!! LOL

...and you forgot pink :p LOL or hasn't that one arrived yet?

I'm not familar who sells Riva's, but I know that Good Prophets has pretty colored eGo sets. It's been hard resisting buying a green one for game day

No, but I didn't look for colors either. I'm a graduate of the Henry Ford school of thinking, that is, "you can have any colour automobile you want... so long as it's black". LOL

The Riva 901 is sort of an oddball device, EW. It didn't take off as they expected, I guess. It's an East Mall device, I think. But, like all PVs the names change so many times from vendor to vendor that it's a PITA to figure out the origin. Unless somebody chimes in, the best bet is probably to shoot an email to whoever you buy from first...

edit --

Liberty Flights has them in stock in Black, Pink, Titanium and White. $3.27 ea.
