Hi, I have not tried any carto's yet as I am looking for suggestions. I have an Ego-T.
I'm looking for empty carto's and without filling and preferably with a mouthpiece (or please suggest a mouthpiece)
I would rather just pour the e-liquid in than use a syringe.
I have a 1100 mAh battery. I do not care about a lot of exhaled vapor. I prefer a cooler inhaled vapor.
I am also completely confused with ohms and volts.
Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

If you are currently using an ego-t, I would suggest Boge 2.0 cartos. As far as mouthpieces are concerned, pick up a drip tip to use with the carto. Just remove the rubber piece from the end of the carto and stick the drip tip in. There are many varieties of drip tips so just pick one that suits you. They are inexpensive so you might want to pick out a few. They have an added advantage of allowing you to color code your cartos so you know what flavor the e-juice is.

I would actually recommend against the EMDCC as a first carto. When you are a total newb, or at least when I was, I lacked the patience to ensure that cartos were full and saturated, and ended up burning a few. I think before you move to the "less disposable" cartos such as the EMDCC you probably should have some familiarity with the concepts of using and feeding cartos. Then when you do get the big ones, you will have the smaller ones as fall-backs or alternates.

Also I don't think a new user would have enough experience yet to know if they would like 4ml of a flavor in one carto.

I recommend the smaller Boges for new vapers... Boge LR as mentioned before is a great choice.

It's not that I am the opposite of everyone... really!

If you want something you can just fill and go with. Grab some stainless stell CE2s. Yes, you will need to use a syringe but you can get a nifty needle top bottle that will do the same job. There are tonnes of video tutorials if the instruction card is too confusing or written too small.

Fill it, give it about a minute to wick and you should be right providing you remember to tilt the whole thing upside down from time to time.

Why do I recommend these for a beginner? Because carts have a steep learning curve and you may have to burn out a box before you understand the cues.

My first ever CE2 is now two months old and still going strong. I refill it twice a day. Now that is performance!

If you do decide to go with the Boges be aware that the latest batch may need more refilling than they used to (loose filler).

These are all made in China.

I assume you mean where can you purchase them? Most of the online vendors sell these under the cartomizer heading. I will include a link to a trusted website I've used before, but there are literally scores of vendors who sell these. These are relatively new devices so what one person loves another person may not.

The main advantages of CE2 and CE3 cartomizers over the traditional metal cartomizers is that their tubing is clear so that you can easily see your juice levels and when you will need to refill. Also, these do away with the polyfill of the older cartos, which can impart their own taste to your juice. The older carto polyfill can also burn if the carto runs too dry of juice, a bad flavor that you can never get out. These new CE2's use a wicking material instead that feeds the juice to the coil.

Disadvantage is they have to be filled a special way, with a fine needle tip. Not that difficult, and there are how-to videos on most sites or you tube.

510 Cartomizers

I personally have started using these instead of the old cartos to test new juices that I get in samples or small trial size bottles. I don't have to devote an entire carto or tank for this purpose. I use the smaller size, less than 1 ml for this.

If I dislike the juice, I can withdraw the juice, rinse with water, and put another flavor in to try. They are pretty cheap, so I don't feel bad if I have to throw a couple out.
