So how long does a fully loaded carto last at 5v? Do they outlast a loaded 510 cart? The one thing about 5v vaping is that it runs through the juice like a freight train!! I feel like I'm refilling the 510 carts every 5 minutes!

I'm trying to figure that out now.. Seems that a carto lasts half the time on 5v that it didn on 3.7v, but that is just one day of testing.

At 3.7v a carto lasts me all day.

I can't compare to a 510, but I hope that helps..

I'm using carts and the whistle tips from the 901's instead of that little white cap (that's so hard to get off and back on). Gotta get the ones that the wadding chamber pulls off of.

All of these have the cartomizers. 901 and T-Tips

I tried the freezer for 20 minutes and it didn't seem to help.. :(

Hmmm... I thought the opposite might work too, but I just toked up a cartomizer nice and hot and it still didn't come off very easily.

Word of caution though, if you are going to go naked with the cartomizers you might want to cut off the sealed end of the rubber cap of the cartomizer and slide it back on the end to protect the lips a little (or go with the 901 tips as posted earlier, but the rubber sleeve is a little easier for me since I don't have any 901s). Those suckers can get hot!

If you use this refill method I found in another thread you can get 30-40 drops in a clean carto: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/47584-my-refilling-trick.html

I use one of those big squeeze paper clip things with a string attached and do three at a time. What works for me is 12 drops, cap, spin. Repeat. Repeat.

I rotate 2 cartos throughout the day so they don't get to dry and I'm set til I get home from work.

I use RN4075 mouthpieces on mine, but funny thing CaSH......they fit kinda loose on yours, and nice and snug on some blanks I got from a forum member. hmmmmm....no bother. Your special blend cartos are excellent by the way.

+1 ... They do get hott! Huey's idea of the rubber sleeve is an EXCELLENT one!

Any of you carto refillers and drippers know where to find a 10-25 or so ml version of something like this?:

This is similar, but with a metal tip: 15ml needle tip bottle. I use it to fill regular carts (I haven't tried Atomz yet, but I plan to soon). They're on sale for $1.80.

Here's another, slightly more expensive, but I've heard that this bottle's top will fit a typical 20ml plastic e-liquid bottle, though I haven't tried it, so I don't know how well that works.

Great! Thanks, those will work great. The I have been having a hell of a time hitting the spot in my atty. Out of four drops, maybe two of them hit the rest end up leaking out or getting on my tongue (yum!).

Mostly with the little bottles, because I get shaky when I have to squeez em so hard. Gonna have to start bringing alcohol swabs with me to get the gunk off my fingers.

Been using a paper clip to guide the juice down, but thats not always practical.

I was reading through another thread were people had issues with cartomizers at high voltage and wanted to post some pictures of one of my cartomizers after 5 days of use.

As you can see it looks pretty normal. I don't let them get real dry, when I notice a change in flavor, I swap them out, so it looks like I am good to go! It is important to know that I am using blank cartos, so pre-filled ones may be different...

The wife and I went looking for some. Was hoping to find some in the craft stores... actually the selection of ANY types of bottles stunk.

Gonna try and hit some hobby stores later this week.. Really getting sick of having to get everything shipped.
