OK, so last night I hooked up a carto to my bottomfeeder. Now I get it. I understand the big hub-bub. I really like the harder draw. When I smoked analogs, I rolled my own, and I rolled them tight. This feels a lot more like that. Plus, though I have little experience with it, I assume the carto also absorbs any excess juice you may pump into it instead of leaking it out. So far, I'm really digging it. Of course, I need to get myself a LR carto to try next because I've grown accustomed to the LR atties already.
