I voted it depends..

Used premiums first for a bit and they got too hot for some juices on my PT.. I switched to cool carts and they 'were' great for my PT and most juices (chocolates not so good on them) so I have been using them since.. Flavor was great and so was vapor and all, plus they lasted a lot longer than the premiums..

Now I voted depends because my recent 2 pack order of blank cool carts seems to be different than all the other cool carts I've bought.. After a couple puffs they suddendly lose flavor and even adding drops to it doesn't bring flavor back :(.. They are acting differently with vapor too.. Seems to me like they got a makeover and it wasn't a good one IMO.. SO if this is how they are now, I will be going back to using premium blanks. Or maybe buying old flavors with the cool carts I know worked great for I do like them better..

more like for cave men......i dont like them they burn out faster, i rather have the ones that will last longer...with the long cut off of the V4L batteries ill just take a longer hit of the cool cart even though i dont see a difference in vapor production myself.... i actually get more vapor from cool carts cause i can hit them longer and more frequently

Cool carts are girl's cartos....

Manly men use the premium hard-tops......


:D

thanks for the info! to go one further from my initial question,, do both these premium blanks and the cool carts blanks have a buttplug at the battery end instead of the little nub that is (or was) on the premium hard top carts? just curious, because refilling on the ones with nubs are a pain and messier than the carts that have buttplugs. thanks again in advance!

My cool-carts dont have .... plugs :(.

So far (and i'm not a veteren) I really prefer the premiums. I've got some pretty wicked juice, and the cools just dont cut it as far as flavor, vapor, and TH go. They're hit or miss on my PT and just plain old boo-worthy on my XL v4l batteries.

But the cools DO come in the best colors. (Royal blue, light blue, red, copper and silver. OH-SO pretty! Looks SO COOL with my black batteries! SURE WISH I COULD GET THOSE COLORS IN THE PREMIUMS! (MAKES PUPPY-EYES AT STEVE :D)

Comparing a freshly-filled carto of each type... Premium is slightly better IMHO. Warmer vape, slightly easier draw. Seems to produce a bit more vapor.

That said... at least in my limited experience, in terms of lifespan and reliability, the CoolCart seems to be the winner by a long shot. I bought a box of each, and most of the premiums totally burned out in under 24 hours, giving off the smell of burning fabric, despite keeping them topped off and moist. They seem to stop wicking properly after a while.

The CoolCarts, on the other hand, seem much more reliable... I've topped-off and refilled these things so many times its crazy. I've gotten used to the slightly different draw, and learned that I get just as good vapor just by taking it a little slower. Love them. The CoolCarts are juggernauts

Our experiences differ a fair bit there. I go through CoolCarts pretty fast where they just clog up and won't atomize any more. But a hundred-plus many times refilled Premiums (that still have the glued caps) from back in April-ish are still going fine.

Heh - interesting! Sounds like results vary greatly from batch to batch. I did find it odd that so many of my premiums burnt out in exactly the same manner. I also found it odd that none of my pre-filled carts have burned out in that way, even though, from very casual examination, they seem to be the same build as the premium blanks. But again, my experience is limited to just one box of each type of blank. Out of THESE 2 particular boxes, the coolcarts were definitely the winner

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the 6 boxes of CoolCarts I just ordered are from the exact same factory lot as my first box of juggernauts. ;)

... Out of curiosity, do your "hundred-plus many times" refills include boiling them out? Or just constantly refilling without any cleaning needed?
