Premium vs Reg Cartomizers?

[MikeDeason]

ok so I got some pretty vague answers on the difference between Premium and Regular juice but I loaded up on Premium juice anyway. It's cheap so what the hell.

As far as the cartomizers...what's the difference exactly.

Filler material?

Capacity?

Different atomizer?

Premium sounds better and now I want them.

 

[Sense Field]

I'm wondering the same thing.

I know it's supposed to be different juice...but is there something different about the cartomizer itself?

Is it the lower ohm caromizer that I've heard others talk about? Do the Premium cartomizers run down batteries faster?

If they are different cartomizers...are they going to be used for the regular juices also?

The premium cartomizers offer better vapor production and flavor reproduction. Their resistance has changed, capacity and filler are similar, atomizer has similar design with better profile. If you're running from battery, the premium is better. If you're running from a PT or high-volt mod, avoid premiums.

As far as exact materials - I'm not sure why anyone really needs that information. If someone does, they can reverse engineer them easily enough. If the information will be useful, the reverse engineering would be trivial.

Mainly wondering if the filler material has be changed so it can't burn.

Anyway, I vape mostly through a PassThrough so I'm glad I didn't order one! Why no PT on Premium???

Got lucky for once!

No such thing as a filler material that can't burn. Or anything else on earth either. Eventually the planet and everything on it will be consumed by our sun. The elements were created under heat and pressure and therefore are subject to destruction by heat and pressure. They can be made less likely to be consumed under... less severe conditions. The bottom line is that some idiot somewhere is going to do something stupid, and we're walkin' the same road all over again...

The premiums are designed to run hotter at lower voltages. All PTs are out of spec with any current carto design by definition. Running cartos designed for even more heat at low voltage/high instantaneous current requirements is counter-intuitive.

Are they the same cartos that Vapornine has been talking about?

Try em, taste em, experience will set you free, as everyone has a unique take

Surprisingly enough - the Vapornine's have a different resistance. So that'd be a "no".

Mike...since you are local, if you want some Premium Cartos to try, just shoot me a PM.

 

[Reverend]

Hey just a question related to the cartos, something confuses me. A couple people on here state that the pre-filled cartos last about 3 hours, others say all day, and it was my understanding that they were the equivalent of a pack of smokes.

Which is it? And do premium/reg make a difference?

 

[bornagainst]

Reverend....it all depends on who you talk to and their personal vaping style. I was a pack and a half a day analog smoker, and am a deep, heavy vaper. I go through 2 to 3 cartomizers a day.

Also take into account that I always refill early, and don't wait until they are dry before topping off...so in actuality, it's less.

Too many factors to just say that a cartomizer is one pack of smokes, and almost everyone here will give you a different answer.

Check the V4L subforum more deeply, and there are MANY threads regarding the difference between regular/premium.

You have almost answered your own question. If one carto = one pack of cigs and you smoked 1 pack a day, conceivably you would use roughly one carto a day. A 3 pack a day habit would be 3 cartos.

As Born said, too many variables.

I've been using the premiums on my pt. I haven't had any problems.

What's your take then on the atty filler substitute MarineLife (aka Blue Foam Mod)

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/73833-blue-foam-mod-rocks.html


Sure all materials burn, but not all would burn at the temp an atty runs at . It's a lot cooler than the sun .

 

[Belletrist]

considering how difficult (if possible at all?) it is to replace the filling in a carto, not sure it's more worthwhile than just... being cautious?

If you're running from battery, the premium is better. If you're running from a PT or high-volt mod, avoid premiums.

I have to disagree with this statement, with a caveat - if you're using a premium carto on a PT, you have to be more careful about overheat and running towards dry. A premium on a PT is like jumping into an ocean of vapor and flavor. It's amazing, it's wonderful, and it absolutely makes every juice I own from multiple different vendors taste better. It also runs through juice like a Hummer through gas, so be extra careful to refill like Chicago voting(that is to say, early and often).

If you're not vigilant about your refills however, you will burn those suckers out in no time.

 

[Adrenalynn]

Anytime you're pushing out-of-spec devices further out-of-spec, you're taking all kinds of risks. If you need to ask, you need to find something else to do... (re: premium-on-pt)

re: blue-foam : are they all created equally? What's the MSDS and exact materials construction? At what temp does it burn? At what temp does it not burn but off-gas? What's in that gas?

actually, i don't like the prems on PT a bit. but i much preferred standards on PT to battery (or 5V to 3.7V, i reckon).

Personally - I haven't experienced THAT big of a difference between regular and premium carto's... I would characterize it as maybe a 20% improvement in terms of performance. They do seem to heat up quicker and therefore kick out more vapor without having to "prime" them with warm-up draws. For me that means I can use shorter draws with good results.

In terms of the age-old question of how many cigs = 1 carto, I'm of the opinion that 1 carto is notably less than 1 pack - the way I vape, at least.
