Premiums vs. Cool Carts

[uzzaperez]

Maybe this has been done and I missed it. Feel free to link other threads.

Now that the Premiums and Cool Carts have been out for awhile, which do you prefer and why?

Please only vote in the poll if you have been using both and have a reason for your preference! I'd like to see results that aren't skewed by voters who have only tried one or the other and liked it so they go ahead and vote. Only vote if you're familiar with the differences from using them please & thanks!

I'm voting it depends, which is why I'm curious as to the experience of others.

I originally started trying both. I preferred the Premiums for a long time at 3.7 volts, I just felt the performance of the Cool Carts, while a great improvement over the standard, produced a little less consistent vapor than the Premiums.

But at higher voltage, say on my PT or a mod, the Cool Carts...um, coolness...becomes more of a factor and I'm really liking them a lot. But I'm stocked up on Premiums, with no regrets, so I haven't had as much experience with the Cool Carts as the Premiums and now I'm curious as to what others have to say.

Most likely I'll be ordering a stock of Cool Carts to compliment my stock of Premiums.

Standard cartos and edition 2 cartos aren't in the poll because I could care less about them and their relative degrees of suck-ness.

I think it also depends a lot on the juice and how much delicacy you're trying to reproduce.

I have to say premiums for the juices and the vapor temperature that I prefer. I like all different types of juices, and I like hot vapor, the cool carts just don't give me that and I really do not care for them.

I prefer the premiums because they definitely have a stronger TH than the coolcarts. I don't use the PT much so that isn't a consideration for me. In fact, I was trying to use up my stash of old carts but have given up. I've gotten too spoiled by the new XL/premium cart combo.

i prefer the cool carts, because the flavor is better, throat hit is the same as the premiums, and they dont burn my lips. also the coolcart with a passthrough is the beez kneez.

 

[uzzaperez]

Hmmm....so this is why V4L continues to carry both types...

I like my vapor warm, and vapory. Premiums all the way. I have 4 coolcarts for backups only.

For me the premiums have a better 'mouth feel', the cool carts are cooler [ don't get as hot ], but they just feel bulky vaping them. Just my

premiums for sure........ the cool carts are inconsistent (sometimes good vapor but most of the time its okay- but better than tradition old style cartos) and I wont be getting the cool carts again.

I prefer cool carts because of my vaping habits, I vape in sessions, and the coolcarts do not burn my lips after 2 long drags. Prem. carts do tho. I like cool vapor anyway, so it goes great with smilin.

My preference would be Premiums. TH and flavor are seriously lacking with the Cool carts in my opinion.

You can always use a drip tip for that

I have herd of them and never seen them, I do not know what they are either!

Hardcap premiums. The best performing 808 cartos I have tried, from V4L or any other carto vendor.

have you tried any of the soft caps?

 

[uzzaperez]

Re Hard Cap Premiums: I'm pretty sure those were Cool Carts, but peeps didn't like the hard cap so they soft capped them and to distinguish them from the other Premiums they started calling them Cool Carts due to the fact that after the Hard Cap Premiums were in circulation they started to develop a reputation for running cooler and having cooler vapor than the other Premiums.

Re Drip Tips to resolve the heat issue: They keep the heat from your lips, but they don't keep the heat from damaging the carto. If it is hot enough to burn your lips, you are probably starting to impact the carto life and the flavor of your vape is probably changing as some of the sock/filler gets damaged. That's why I was thinking, though I tend to prefer Premiums so far, maybe Cool Carts are a better choice at higher voltage...maybe not.

I don't even know what cartos are what anymore....

All I know is that I like, and use exclusively, harp-top premiums.

 

[GiMante]

I definitely like the warmer vapor.
