Wouldn't the heat of the atomizer melt the glue? I have a zillion little peel & stick labels (for some reason these were $2.07 in January. I'll never run out of them) but I doubt they'll stick for long on a hot atty.

My cartos don't seem to get that hot. They tend to heat up at 6 volts but at 3.7, they do not. The attys, yeah they get hot.

Vapin some TV's butter rum and apple pie mixed together on a 510 carto at 6V's right now. This was always an okay concoction but yeah, very good flavors to vape on the warm side.
Chucklehead has me hooked on popping my top off and using a drip tip instead. I notice I get alot more vapor that way.


That's funny because that's what I'm using too. I ordered butter rum and apple pie the same day and couldn't find where I put down the butter rum so I refilled the carto with Apple Pie. Only took about 10 drops so was mixed with the butter rum. Not bad, tastes great all warm.

Have you all tried the new 510 cartos on your Chucks? I got some and they are great on my 5V devices. I haven't tried them on my Chuck, but they are higher resistance than the V4L ones, so I don't know if I'd like them at 3.7.

You need to try one on your Chuck....I love them on my Little Chuck :p

I don't have my inhaler cartos yet but the vaperking cartos are awesome. I actually am prefering them to the 808's. The draw is easier and since I've had this freakin cold/congestion thing going on, I have been using them exclusively. I couldn't barely drag off the other ones. I'll probably bounce back and forth again but I just gave up my adapters to hubby and need to wait till Jeff sends out his. I really don't mind. I have a buttload of the 808 cartos, figured my husband can use that supply up. LOL!

HEY POEIA, You will like this.

I got my Nhaler order. The 510 cartos from Drew seem to be identical to the 510 carto's I got from vapor kings. He had two color options, black and stainless steel. The box is the identical box my others came in so I am guessing they are from the same manufacturer....however, the stainless steel colored cartos from Nhaler are totally nekkid! No paper, no annoying glue that sticks to your lips during initial use.

You mentioned you didn't like the idea of paper in your mouth so I figured this little tidbit would be very much to your liking!

Well I'll be......

Though my biggest problem with those is sometimes the paper is glued over the airholes on the cart. I just push the paper down by each notch.
I just filled up some of those cartos with some new highvoltage juice I got. Then I remembered hubby has my adapters...duh. They are weird flavors that I am not sure if I'll like and I didn't want to waste on of my lovely 510 cartos should I decide I don't like peanut butter cup or black rasberry and cream. Been vaping torque almost exclusively, dang if I haven't blasted 3/4's the way through an entire bottle in a weeks time! I ordered four bottles, should have ordered a dozen during the restock sale!

He's out of silver ones and he said put it in the fridge for 20 minutes and you can peel the black paper off. Don't do it. I now have to buy some gunk-off stuff for that one.

From the Tasty Vapor forum, Bella Luce has gotten them from Vapor Kings, LiquidExpress and East Mall.
I'm fixing to open one up from eastmall right now and put some cheesecake in it. They are the same boxes that I got my orders from Vapor King and liquidxpress from so I'm thinking they are exactly the same. I will let ya know :)

Edit since I filled the EastMall 510 carto up:
Oh ya, exactly the same thing :) Lots of vapor, great throat hit and lots of flavor, LOVE THESE THINGS!!!
The East Mall ones are $4 for 5. Once I'm positive I like them (I've only filled one carto so far), I'll buy a bunch there.

Oooh, good to know! That is a super steal of a deal. I could afford to be less frugal and switch around my juices more. Thanks for the info. So aside from the glue gunk, how are you liking them?

The paper isn't so bad once you use them a few times. Basically fill it, get some juice on the paper and throw it back in a condom and leave it over night, wipe it off the next morning and the sticky edge of the paper is gone.

I hate to say it but talking about sticky gunk, juice and carto condoms just reads back so twisted

The paper was what I didn't like about the 808s. But with the 510 I am using a drip tip so it's not a factor.

I have one Delrin tip which is why I've only filled one carto so far (but I have 10 metal ones on order.) I'm finding them a little messier than the 808s. My first try was the condom method and, no matter how slowly I went, some oozed over the top plus the plastic top kept coming off with the condom.

On the next refill I dripped around the edges. Lazy me -- I didn't take it off my Chuck so I didn't realize I had overfilled it by a lot. Spent a lot of time mopping up the overflow.

I think I'm going to stick with the drip method but next time I'll put the .... plug back on first. I have a big paperclip that I opened up the end of to push filler around in my carts when the straw wasn't working well. Looking at it, I think it's just a tiny bit smaller than the hole in the middle. Dropping it in there during the refill should keep any liquid from going down the center.

East Mall has a rewards program -- you get 1/20 of your purchase in credit to use next time. I have about $4. They do have some funky math, however. If you order a 5-pack it's $4. But, if you go to bulk ordering, 25 are $25. I think ordering a la carte makes more sense.

As the cartos don't get very hot, I'm wondering if Correction Tape might be good for labels.

You forgot to add .... plugs to that list.

So, I fried 2 cartos yesterday. One in the morning....left my chuck in my front pocket with the button sticking out of my pocket so it wouldn't press by mistake. Sat in the car and was wondering what that noise was "hissssss" hmm..musta been something in my car, I thought.
Then I saw smoke....looked down and the carto was bubbling. I had just filled it and got me a perfect mixture of Butter Rum and Apple Pie.... booooo

Then, that night I was working sitting on my couch watching fringe and setting firewall rules for a security audit at work...all the sudden I'm wondering why I smell my butter rum...really strong...I ignore it for a minute....then it gets stronger...I look under my leg and there is my chuck...carto bubbling away, paper melting, the white mouth part a ball of plastic...foaming like a rabid dog. booooo


Poor cartos. At least I didn't blow up atty's

But the taste, the vapor, the consistancy.....it is all so worth a little extra juice.
Beecee, I warned my hubby about the switch. So far I have not had such mishaps. It would be cool if Jeff would offer that touch switch option where it only goes off if your finger is on it. I'd definately order another chuck or two if he did. I saw there were a few mods with this feature but I just can't cheat on chuck.

Touch switch would be nice or even a flip switch cover. I would def appreciate it even if the switch was 3 times the size and awkward, (awkward is an awkward word).
