Premium Cartoz and mixed emotions..

[newb]

These do not last me too long at all compared to the old style...

I vape it for less than an hour and its time to change it or top off..

At this rate, I would really go through 3 to 4 cartz a day vs 2 max!

My pros & cons:

Pros -

• Still more convenient on the go
• Flavor is still there
• easier to remove mouth end cap

Cons -

less capacity - spinning or not
lasts half the time of old ones (or less)

So the pros still out weigh the cons... All I would like to see is longer lasting performance and maybe a little thicker or more absorbant batting..

My blanks ordered last week went dead on me beyond repair after second fill each... Maybe a bad batch but my prefilled need to be refilled alot more often then I would 3 or months ago.. I vape at the same rate too..

Every premium I've used holds more juice than any reg. carto I ever used & I have hundreds of cartos. I've never had one go bad after the 2nd refill. Are you cleaning them properly? I don't know what happened but my experience is completely different. The only drawback I've found with premiums is that they don't perform as well on the 5 volt PT. I use reg. cartos on the PT. I hope you figure out the problem.

The only issue that I have had with new premium cartos seems to be they are a lot hotter with my chain vaping then the old cartos. I just use it as a reminder that I am vaping too much.

I'm a darn newbie (my first actual day vapping) and my first cartomizer (?) is still going strong after 18 hrs.
I would like to have more draw on the cart if anyone has any suggestions.

Ray

can you explain what you mean by "more draw"?
Hard to offer suggestions without knowing exactly what you mean.
Is it hard to get air through it?
Are you getting too much air?
There are number of ways address these kinds of issues if given more data.

I don't refill often to lazy but the premiums compared to the regulars imo is no brainer.I don't even use regulars anymore except the other day got one as a freebie and thougt I would try it hardly no vapor compared to prem. and I like as much vapor as I can get and premiums imo most of them have better flavor.I have noticed some of them don't last as long,but some do.

They seem to drain batteries alot faster though.

You can't have it all

 

[keyzygirl]

I agree,I like them,they work great!Just sayin.

Yeah... I like my batts to last as long as possible. I've stuck by the regs. I prefer them. Stocking up before they're gone forever... I don't mind having to wait for them to warm up to get a lot of vapor.

 

[keyzygirl]

I have quite a few old style and I like them,I use alot of premiums but I had to get a mod for them.It lasts longer.

How long do batts last on regs and how long on premium?

I haven't had any problems with battery life, got a normal manual kit the other day and my batteries seem to last at least 8 hours or maybe a little more..prem carts seem to last me a day and a quarter to a day and a half or so.

I haven't timed them Wolf sorry... but as a rough estimate with my shorties I would say they die about 20min sooner with the premiums. Not a huge amount but a difference non the less.

The only thing I liked more about the regular cartos was that the 555 flavor was good. Those are gone and can't be bought anymore though. I'm still trying to find a new flavor I like as much.

Ah well, I was just curious since I'm kind of new to this, well at least with one that I actually like and have found I haven't been disappointed by yet. Tried vaping last year with a different brand and batteries always going defective on me put me off the whole thing until now.

My major Con is the soft caps keep slipping down inside the cart.
I have 5 of them, and they all do it...

It's really annoying!
