Shorty cartos on LP Grand

[gpjoe]

Just a quick question (and I am 99.9% sure I know the answer):

Can shorty cartomizers (or any other 510 carto) be used with a low profile Grand? I used them with my standard profile (don't own a LP), and assume that the lower height of the juice well on the LP would have no bearing on using cartos. Am I correct?

And as always - thank you

 

[JC Okie]

You are correct.

 

[gpjoe]

That's what I figured. Thank you.

and yet the Reo site says:

A low profile Reo grand has a lower profile juice well to accommodate larger rebuidable atomizers . If you plan to use standard atomizers and cartomizers you will want a standard reo grand

Not sure that this strictly prohibits the use of cartomizers, but why does it seem (to the uninformed) to state such?

The deeper juice well on the standard works better with the cartos 510, and 306 attys because they tend to leak out a little around the connection. The deeper well keeps the excess juice from going all over the mod.

I understand, but mine never leaked with cartos, nary a drip nor a drop.

You could also have juice running out of a standard profile Reo, you would (could) just have a lot more.

I guess my point is that they all have the potential for leaking around the 510. The way I avoided it was by doing a blind squonk - lightly drawing on the carto while squonking - when the airflow stopped, I stopped drawing and I never had excess juice run out and go all over my mod.

On the LP REOs, the catch cup is just whittled down a little. That's the only difference. And the catch cup is really just insurance against leaks. I would not worry about it at all. I never had leaks when I was using cartos and regular attys. Especially if you blind squonk you'll be fine. He still sells both kinds of catch cups, and if someone knew he/she was never, ever going to try a rebuildable, then get the non LP version. He's just trying to point out the difference with that statement, I think.

Yep - the taller catch cup is just delaying the inevitable if you're leaking when squonking. It's a degree of effectiveness/buffer, not a requirement. If you're a no-leaking-blind-squonking pro, you prolly don't care what the height of the cup is.
