I've been holding off on ordering some IKV fusions for a while - I'm waiting for some more RY4 to get in, as well as some stock on some other items. I placed an order on another site for a mod and saw that they had some 801 fusions there as well. I have to admit I'm enjoying them quite a bit - and I can't stand cartomizers, usually. Is there a difference between the IKV ones? If they're better than these, I can see what the hype is all about. Either way, I'm picking some up on my next order. I'd really like to try these in a tank as well!

they are the same and only Iken makes the Fusions.
I hear you, i don't even vape the Fusions unless they are in my tank.
If i had to pick a carto alone, to vape, it would be Fusion.

I was fortunate enough to get some fusion carto's in my last order with ikenvape. Let me say that I have tried all matter of cartoos and attys and the fusion is simply spectacular. I am running it in a Depth Charge...which is really suiting me well because It is a smaller tank and I can slide it up and down for juice control as I need. I can flood the carto by recapping the top...or not if I slide the tank up so that the holes in the carto are not in the tank area. I usually like to flood fill the first tank fill.

They have been lasting much much longer than expected. I have been able to get weeks from my set up...using clear type liquids. Fantastic!

PS. I know it is after Christmas and I shouldn't be asking for special things, but I still have visions of a stealth adapter that works with the fusion...PLEASE Mr Isaac? :). Batts Eyes. :)

Just my two cents for tonight. After using my Fusions in a tank for months now, I loaded up a Fusion tonight to vape without a tank. Fantastic! The flavor is clearer out of the tank. But still more convenient in a tank. The best cartos.
I started making a very small hole for that reason. Mine work better with the smaller hole versus a slot or a larger one.

I got about 5 of them. I like the M1A1 the best. Here's another one I have. It's a Map tank but it takes some work getting a Fusion in it but I like Fusions so it's worth the work.

Then there's these two but they all have Fusions in them.

Hey guys,
...after about half a day they would cut out quite regularly
...after a day they become so tight they're almost not vapable

"I don't always vape cartos, but when I do, I prefer IKV."

I on the other had, almost always use cartos. I've tried a lot and the best I've found are the Fusions. I ended up ordering some quantity roughly equivalent to a ....-ton, and I've been using them almost exclusively (on a Buzz Pro, and an original Buzz before that) for quite awhile now. I even ordered my Buzz Pro with an 801 connection because of the Fusions. And it's the only combo I've ever really been 100% satisfied with.

So anyway, I've used a lot of Fusions, but never had the issues you're talking about as an issue with the cartos...it's always an issue with my juice (except for the odd and very rare occasional "bad carto").

With really clean juices, BWB Root Beer being one of the cleanest I can think of, I regularly and easily run nearly 30ml through a Fusion before the taste goes wacky and I know it's time to change to a new carto.

With really dirty juices, BWB Cola (oil based flavor I think) being one of the dirtiest juices I can think of, I might be lucky to get 8ml through a carto before it's junked up enough to ruin flavor.

And of course, there's everywhere in between, but how long a Fusion performs seems to be a direct function of the cleanliness of the liquid. Sometimes that makes me sad, since there are some dirty juices I really like, but by now I'm at the point where I can pretty accurately predict the life of a Fusion based on the juice I'm putting in it (as long as it's a juice I'm familiar with). I can't really predict it in terms of hours or days since I don't pay attention to that, but I know how many ml it is going to last me.

The real stand out thing for me is that the Fusions usually don't burn at a reasonable voltage. I've taken many cartos apart, and when they go bad I usually find signs of burning inside around the coil sleeve and even the filler. When I take an expired Fusion apart, I find that the coil sleeve isn't burned - it's clogged up with vaporized juice leavings (dark stuff that at first looks like maybe it's burned inside, but you can actually rinse off the coil wrap under a faucet and see it's not burned...burns don't rinse off).

That's just my two cents, but by now I've been through a lot of Fusions and never had a problem with cutting out at all, or becoming clogged unless it's due to a dirty juice that really needs a washable atty to get the most out of it. I'd suggest running the Fusions around 4 to 4.5 volts and evaluating whether your juice plays well with cartos.
