I never used a caromizer before. Only regular 510 Attys.

So, I read about the new e2's and ordered 10 regulars from awesome vapers, along with my very 1st LR Atty. My next shopping basket will include the mega ego attys and carts.

Anyway, the Cartomizers work awesome with so many flavors. The juice that I am now amazed with is TV waffle. The Carto makes it taste way more flavorful. Not too sweet either. Great throat hit with the waffle as well. I was so un-impressed in a regular 510 cart, or even dripping with it.

The fruit flavors taste spot on, with good vape, and a very light TH which is nice sometimes. Now, my favorite juice tastes way off in them, but awesome in the regular atty. I think its important to try all juices in all equipment.

Back to the Cartos. I was a bit intimidated at first. That little needle thing they come with is a joke. fits on none of my bottles, or even the little syringe I bought at the drug story. And, the cartos did not come with rubber nipples on them, so I am hoping if I have a few loaded a few days that they dont dry up on me.

But is lasts me all day, and I never thought it would. It is so convenient when working at the office not to have to mess with messy, leaking attys.

I get about 35 drops in these regular cartos, and the taste is great. I took out all 3 rubber seals, and dripped down the inside edge of the carto. (no condoms came with it)
But these R-4's to me seem like the cats meow. We will see how long they last but 3 days so far on the one with waffle in it.

Two thumbs up for the new E-2's.

$10 for a carto? I'm going to buying some 510 carto's for the first time but they only cost about $1 so if they produce better but die sooner it's still worth it.

Correct me if i'm wrong but don't cartos burn out a lot quicker than regular attys? If so, i can't see how $10 for short lived cartos can be justified. Am i missing something here?

It is the other way around. Cartomizers are somewhere around a 1.50 or 1.75 a piece I think. Atomizers (used with a separate cartridge filled with polyfill and juice) last a lot longer if treated correctly. Both can go bad on you, and both on occation can arrive DOA.

Cartomizers are meant to be "disposable" but many on this forum keep them working for 2 to 3 weeks, perhaps longer if you treat them right. Cartomizers hold way more juice and dont get that burnt filler taste, at least the new e2r4s. Attys are good for dripping, and I feel I may never use a regular cart again.

Been using cartomizers for a while now, found that at least 1 out of 5 will crap out soon, however most always they will last for a couple weeks, and some last much longer but they will go stale so you want to replace them regularly. The problem is that you can't replace the inner, not easy atleast, I tried and never succeeded. If the inner gets messed up and you can't clear up the hole(middle) then it's done. The heating atomizer is fine, but you can't do anything to fix the filler unless you have a special way of twirling and placing it just right around the heating element. Would be especially useful if someone comes up with a tool that will do this for people. I and people I know prefer the cartomizer to the 2 piece for the great hit it produces. The cost makes it easy to just buy em and pop em on, not much hassle, and when you learn how to fill them it works out fine, of course most of the time you have to have a napkin to catch the overfill, which can be a pain in the ..., but it's fine. When you go out, you just have a few already filled ready to go, no problem. The world of ecigs has gotten much easier thanks to these cheap disposable cartomizers, I love em.
And even when I tell many regular smokers how great it is, 90% of them turn it down cause they don't want to try or even think another method might be better. I heard such an excuse this weekend... He said that if he quits smoking the chances of him dying will be much greater and that people who quit tend to die earlier... is this true? doesn't make sense, but he may know better, but I enjoy this and don't think I will die early because I quit smoking. Have you heard the same thing?

thought you have to keep LR attys good and wet, i thought useing cartos or carts was a bad idea with them.

It's a secret!

The E4 carto's come in a pack of five, usually around $12 a pack. So it's a good deal to avoid having to constantly drip or top off.

I was looking at cloudsofvapor.com where it says "Price per Unit (piece): $9.99". I didn't read far enough down to see it is a 5 pack they're calling a "unit"... my bad.

I noticed it says it comes with an adapter for a syringe to fill them with. Why do you need the adapter if you already have a syringe? I have both a heavier gauge blunt and a pointy syringe, wouldn't that work?

By adapter I believe they mean the crappy plastic needle attachment that will break the first or second time you use it. Blunt tipped syringe will work great.
