Well I started the poll after 1 week of using cartos (specifically, 510 cartos from litecig, hardcap). I voted less TH and flavor. After more time with these cartos, I would modify my position somewhat and say this:
Dripping produces better flavor and TH than either cartos or carts (basically anything with filler).
IMO, in addition to diminished flavor and TH, I believe every filler adds at least a little "flavor coloration." In other words, the fillers add a subtle alien element to the flavor. I can tell polyfill from blue foam in a blind test 5 times in a row; I've tried it.
The thing about cartos versus carts is this: cartos give you the option to vape a lot longer without refilling, and you don't need to mod them. BUT, if you choose to vape them for hours, without periodically topping them off, you're going to be vaping with diminished flavor and TH. That's why I would modify my opinion: I discovered that the TH and flavor are fine IF I put 3-4 drops into the carto every 30 minutes or so. In other words, it's kind of like cart or atty dripping, just a bit less frequent.
The bottom line is that none of these methods allows for constant vaping for hours at the SAME level of quality. Currently, with every option, some fairly frequent liquid refresh needs to be done to keep up the quality of the vapes.
I have decided, for now, to get a drip tip and use that for at home and in office vaping, and use cartos for the road and when I'm moving about.
That said, I should be receiving an order of the Vapornine premiums cartos today, so who knows, maybe that will change my opinion.
