I never used cartridges so I am no help at all with that. Hopefully someone that is familiar with them will chime in. I do use attys for testing new flavors but I drip 3 drops directly onto the bridge.
Ahhh... I see !!...you use attys for testing new flavors .....it's all starting to make sense to me now.

The cartridges don't seem to be as good as cartomizers.

Cartomizers seem like a better way to go!

anyhow....it's still all experimentation at this stage.

I may try and drip a few drops onto the atty's bridge and see what happens.

The first time that you use one you may need to blow it out first. May not hurt to give it a dry burn which is just very quick little bursts of power to the dry atty ( VERY fast presses of the button on your Ego with atty attached. Too long will burn it up) this will burn any primer fluid off that may be on there. Also you will need to prime it by placing a drop of liquid on the bridge and letting it sit for a couple of minutes. Then add your 3 drops :)

Save the cartridges and attys for your personal vaping museum.

With the fine cartomizers we have today, including the duel coil cartos ... why bother with anything else.

Cartridges (cartamizers) just make a mess and atty's - you have to be constantly adding liquid to them. Now this is just my opinion and a lot of people would beat me up good for this, but I don't think their worth the hassle.

It seems as though my atomizers are type A and not type B. I was told not to drip onto the bridge.
Check out the info on this page where I bought the Kit from.
Anyhow I don't care because I'm not going to ever use them again.
I tried them out today and got spaced out for 2 hours. :shock:
Here's a pic of my Type A atomizers.

ps; I took the photo with my macro lens on my camera!

WOW Sell! I am not sure that I have ever seen a picture quite that clear and detailed lol
I know that I have never seen an atty like that :) I am also not a fan of attys at all. I only use them to test new flavors because I do not want to fill a mega Dual Coil just to find that I don't like the flavor of the juice.
That really is a great picture!

I suspect you really know what your doing with a camera.TT

I wouldn't have a clue how to use digital cameras. I have an old obsolete 6 year old Cannon A 550 digital camera and I phoned Cannon Australia and asked them how can I take macro shots. The man told me how and said if I wanted a really good camera that does everything automatically then get the Canon PowerShot A2200 Digital camera - compact - 14.1 Megapixel - 4 x optical zoom. .....and I said to him, but that's only a cheap camera!! ....and he said.....you don't have to spend a lot of money on cameras these days to get an excellent one!
Well, when I get around to it , I'll buy one....it has auto macro adjustment.........it has everything!! and it's only just a bit more than $100 bucks!

WOW Sell! I am not sure that I have ever seen a picture quite that clear and detailed lol

If I took another 5 shots and re arranged everything I could have gotten even a better shot!!

I like your slideshow Sell :)
Thanks....there's a lot of different type of art there, some photos too.

Life is good with my original Buzz
DC Cartos and a Tank

you must tell me about your signature! and maybe some photos of it too so I can understand what it is.

Suggestion: Don't vape too much in the afternoon.

I only have about 10 puffs in the afternoon. And that's enough to space me out and make me woozy.

I have not used nicotine at all yet. I am actually hoping that when I get my nic flavored juices in 10 days time that the nic will be helpful.

When I first started vaping 2 weeks ago, I would have about 10 puffs a day and then get sick. I found the flavoring made me sick , so I vaped unflavored PG/VG.

It was a lot better vaping unflavored PG/VG juice and then I started to vape flavored juices again ,about 5 days ago and have not had any bad reaction except I can only vape a tiny little bit , otherwise I get sick.

I am really hoping that with a bit of nicotine in the juice, that it will make my vaping less sickening.

I think no matter what, I'll have to slowly get used to vaping.

TT,,, Did you find you had to adjust to vaping? Did you have any side effects at all when you first started vaping in your first week?

No, the only thing I encountered was dryness in the mouth and I used a lot of liquids to stay hydrated that first few weeks. But that only makes sense. The liquids (water, tea, juice, etc.) help flush the chemicals from the stinkies out of your system.

In real life I'm one of those people that make up their minds and then that's what they do. In business that trait served me well. My wife says it makes me a PITA.

I made up my mind in advance that I was going to make vaping work regardless of what I ran into. The day I started vaping all day was also the last day I smoked. That's how I do things.

And my wife is right about me.

But other than that, I'm a nice guy.

I noticed you used the word....stinkies.
So, do you find some juices stink a lot?

I encountered a very bad stinkie today. I mailed the juice in the bottle back to the supplier to show him that it was really bad stuff. It was a Juice ..... flavor called Mary Jane. It was putrid!! It tasted and vaped nothing like Mary Jane!! The only thing it did was make me real sick. I don't think I'll get anything more from that Aussie supplier....even the last lot of hardware he sold me was faulty.

I have heard that Mary Jane is not a good flavor from anyone. lol
Well if you hear of a good Mary Jane flavour, please let me know. I smoke Vietnamese Mint or sometimes called Vietnamese Coriander. It's tastes exactly 100% like Mary Jane. Pic attached.
