I'll suffer through a carto on an extremely long drive... other then that I'm dripping at my desk!
interesting you say that. I have a problem with the cool carts on the wetbox. I noticed that the cool carts have smaller hole than the premiums, where the needle tip goes in, making the draw of the cool carts on the wet box VERY difficult, with virtually no throat hit.
I took a cartomizer apart and it was nasty in there.Black burnt material.That was the end of any carto or cart for me.Only used it for part of a day,so I guessed it does not take long before you are just vaping burnt cloth.Or that would probably be classified as smoking.To each their own,but you can't get that awesome taste yuo get with dripping any other way IMO.
The draw can be hard if you screw the carto on real tight - just back it off a little and it should make the draw easier. I prefer a draw that isn't too "airy", so that works well for me. I predominantly have been using Halo menthol flavored juices lately.
Cartos brought me back to vaping. I have 4 brand new atomizers that have been sitting in one of the drawers of my e-cig station for 6 months, and I know I will never use them.
I'm still expermenting with both. The first cartos I bought were premium and had a hard plastic insert. Then I thought I'd save a buck and bought some cheaper ones. The cheap ones don't hold as much juice and leak all in my mouth and the battery.
The premium cartos perform good at 3.7--5.0 volts. At 6v its like vaping fire. Suprisingly I've yet to "pop" one at 6V, but I only draw on it 2-3 seconds due to the heat. The flavor is pretty much gone at the higher voltage also.
I have been filling my 901's with the blue foam now for about six months and NOTHING beats it for flavor and TH. I use a mega 808 battery with the standard atty and a HV atty at 6v. I can fill up 10 carts with out wasting juice in about five minutes.
Filling cartos using the condom method, the drip down the side method, the drip into the battery end hole method all seem to waste a bit of juice and take longer. Then you have the put it in a sock and spin it, drip in more, spin some more method. I have slung juice all over the place doing this.
Maybe I just need to gain more experience with the cartos. I love the fact you can fit nearly a ml of juice in the premiums and they last a long time. Vapor and TH is close to my 901 with the mega battery, the taste is definetly lagging behind though.
For now I would have to say I like my carts better.

I don't see myself getting into cartos really. I like messing with my 3 piece (dripping and stuff) kind of fulfills my obsession with fiddling with something when I smoked cigs. But someone is sending me a couple to try out and we'll see if I like them. Maybe I will 
I bought a bunch of cartos a few weeks ago and thought I liked them for a couple of days. Then one day I dripped again just to change things up again and I can't go back to cartos. Just so little flavor and no th and hard draw... flavor only lasts a few puffs and then tastes burned. I am gonna have a whole bunch of v4l flavored cartos for sale in classified soon
lol
dripping is it for me... and juice box

Boge 510 cartos for the win! I think I'd be smoking again if I hadn't found them.
dripping ftw for sure - I have tried cartos and quite liked them but some started life with a very bad taste and had to be dumped. I also found they gave me more TH than I wanted.
I might still use one for long journeys but otherwise - dripper-fer-life.

i like both as well, but dripping on an LR atty is my favorite way to vape at the moment. i've been using 510 cartos for a little while with so-so results, but i just got some Boge versions and they're really good on my 5v PT.
i've got a V3 on the way, so i plan on dripping at 3.7v and cartos at 6v. i've got some Premium 808 cartos on the way too so i'm excited to try those out.

I do all three it just depends on what I'm doing. I like the 808 cartos better than the 510's for taste but dripping has the best flavor overall, it is just a pain unless you are setting in front of computer all day and have plenty of time. If I'm on the road I like carto's and my Hello 016 12 hour battery!
I'm anti-carto, every one I've tried the flavor was off with a chemical/plasticky aftertaste
also the pics of melted cartos are like a nightmare horror show if you cracked one open to see you'd been vaping that stuff.
not to mention the plastic mouthpieces with paper stickers ? that could never come close to a nice stainless steel drip tip

And yeah, I tried cartomizers, and I thought they sucked.
I'll stick with dripping.

Cartomizers are better. They last a long time and they can be refilled at least twice. I doubt they will make 3 piece units in the future.
Been dripping a 510 for a year. Tried cartos recently and with in a week went right back to dripping. Carto's suck IMO.
