When using Cartomizers on the GLV3 which feed system should you use....Bottom or top feed. I assume it'll keep the carto wet all the time. Or is the GLV3 not the right device to use with cartos?

Top feed IMO just because of how cartos are built, and the should work just fine. work just fine.
So if a GLV3 Mini top feed only is ordered does that mean the device can be separated and used by itself. So what your essentially getting is a GLV2 MINI and the Bottle Feed Housing? Is that what makes up a GLV3 MINI? Is the GLV2 MINI any different than the one that comes with the GLV3 MINI? Now that I've confused everyone, does the Carto need to have a hole drilled into it to work with the Top Feed system?
Yes. A "GLV-3 mini" is a GLV-2 mini plus the feeder. You can use the GLV-2 mini seperate from the feeder.
Top feed comes with a drip tip with a hole drilled into it for the tube for top-feed.

It's really a matter of preference. Also, from my understanding the bottom feed system is better for those who may sometimes remove the feeder box and direct-drip with the GLV2 portion and the top feed is better for those who prefer cartos over atties.
Personally, I think it's pretty brilliant that Jay offered one or the other or both.

I wonder if you drill a hole in the carto the same size as the feed tube. I think this would give you the option to use your own drip tips. I use drip tips on my cartos......I don't like those flat plastic plugs.
In the GLV preorder video, Jay said the bottom feed option is not drip-friendly because of the hollow connection. If you take the feeder off, there has to be a hole in the connection for the feed tube and you would end up with juice leaking out if you over-dripped. The top or bottom feed would probably work with cartos without the feeder. I dont know if the top feed has the adjustable connection or not. The tip for the top feed actually looks pretty decent, but there shouldn't be any reason you couldn't drill a hole in the carto or your own drip tip.
This may have me thinking now. I like to use cartos exclusively. It would be nice to use my own drip tips. Maybe I'll order one and give it a try. I'd really like to see a GLV3 Mini in someone elses hand first. I'm curious to see the size first. I'd really like to see a GLV Supermini......That would be a closer for me.
I use cartos on my other bottom feeders and it works great so I'm hoping it will be the same with the GLV.
Jay how for up into the atty/carto does the needle go in the bottom feed version?
