No filler Carto--

I'm pretty happy with the ones I've been using, pretty much the only carto's I use now. Not sure who's got them in stock at the moment I know vaperite and cloudsofvapor had them in stock recently.
They are called C-e2's you would want revision 4 (as of this typing). CloudsofVapor and VaporJunction have them, that i know of. I have not tried them yet, mine are on the way.
No filler in them now with the R4 versions just the wick, if you chain vape to quickly you might go faster then the wick can keep up with though, holding your pv upside down for a couple seconds will keep the wick wet though. I would also recommend doing a quick 2 second dry burn when you first get them to make sure you dont get any primer taste when you first fill them though.
As i understand it you can get a "burnt" taste with c-e2's if you vape to much to fast, not allowing the wick time to draw up juice (esp if using high vg juice)
You fill them, in fact you have to use a syringe with plastic or blunt needle to fill them. Many consider this to be the biggest negitive of the Ce-2's. As for how long they last i can't say sorry.
I find syringe filling much quicker and neater!!--of course working a a lab--I am not only used to using them--but have easy access to them!!--thanks soo much for the responses--now to shop---trying to find one place to order the supplies I need--
Vaporbomb.com has a 20ml bottle with a needle attached for filling the ce2 cartos. Will make filling quicker and less messy, I think. I am going to get one. I happen to like the those cartomizers. Can fill a few at a time and take anywhere. Just need to switch when one is empty and keep movin.
I bought my silver E2v4's from Clouds of Vapor. I got some regulars and some XLs in 3ohm. I really like these alot. No trouble with leaks or bad tastes. Easy to fill with a syringe.
I think they are currently out of stock at COV, but they should have more soon.

If the vendor doesnt say how many ohm's in the description its probably 2.5.. 2.8-3.0 seems to be the best for the ego.
The standard ohm for an atomizer or cart is 3.0 and that should work just fine but for an ego you can go lower. I am no electrical expert but lower ohms = uses more electricity(drains battery faster), gets hotter and produces more vapor (blows through e-juice faster) and some say lower ohm atomizers and cartomizers don't last as long. You will often see the lower ohm called LR or low resistance. I would suggest trying both and seeing what you like. Not everyone wants to be a walking fog machine but for some it is heaven.
I've been using the CE2s for about a month and a half now. I've had a couple that fizzled quickly, like after 2 or 3 fills. But I also have some that are still going for over a month, maybe 40 or 50 fills. I think it's hit or miss, the manufacturer claims they are good for 8 or more fills. On average they last much longer than that in my experience. There are some good threads on them in the equipment area of the forum.
I would advise boiling any carto or atty before using. Even if they have no filler there is usally some residual flux or something else in them. I'm way too sensitive to the foul taste that comes off of any so I just make it a regular habit to boil them first. When I boiled a couple yesterday there were three little back slivers that came out of them. One looked like a splinter and was about .5 cm in length.
The first E2 r4s I (and many) got were terrible and extremely inconsistent in their wicks length and nuber of wicks. One came oozing filler. Four of the regulars had tea colored, stiff, rodent urine smelling wicks. (I took them all apart.) This was when they first came out and several vendors were receiving bad E2s from China. Not their fault as the packages are sealed and hard to inspect. With new arrivals coming in the ones I received from COV were the true rev 4s but I still get residue taste if I didn't boil them.
The E2 r4s are still pretty inconsistent especially in length of the wicks that hang into the juice tube. Lots of people are working on mods for them to improve them. One thing I have done to improve wicking is first to boil them then leave out the bottom ceramic cup ring/sealer and slide the middle ring down to the cup. This doesn't keep the juice tube as sealed but I'm getting no dry wicks. In fact when I take the drip tip off there is juice on top of the ring around the edges and filling the cup but it does not cause it to act flooded. One of my C2s actually has a layer all the way across the ring with juice floating over it. Same results. When the reservoir starts getting empty and the wicks start drying I don't get a burnt taste due to the small amount of juice "floating". I'll get a more airy draw and then know that I need to refill. When I get the airy draw I can still get a few drags because of the juice that is floating on the ring.
I haven't had any issues with leaking but I don't turn it upside down and shake it. I doubt that the juice would leak out of it anyway if the juice is at least 50vg as are all of my juices I use in the E2. I do lay the mods with E2s down on their sides, though, and have no leaking issues.
I have the reg and XL, both in 2.x ohm and 3 ohm. So far there is not enough difference in the two to make a good decision on which to use on a 3.7. I haven't tried a whole lot of juices in them. And most of our juices have high percentage of VG. I haven't tried any 100% PG with them yet.
Taking out the cup ring also makes filling much easier and you can just drip the juice down the side instead of needing a syringe.
Hope this helps anyone.
