Best cartos I've tried:
1)IKenVape-any of 'em. Really. Use adapters if need be. They taste very very good.
2)Boge LR-almost as good as IKV, but not quite. Also, their performance seems to drop off a little faster.
3)CE2- a real PITA to get working right, probably require a little moding. These taste very very nice, but have never kept up with my rate of vaping, reguardless of how I moded them or "worked" them (holding them at different angles, shaking, ect)

A couple of quick tips for the IKV or boge.
1)After the first fill, let 'em sit for a day if you can. Really let em get saturated, top em off again before use.
2)Re-top them off often. Don't let them get too dry.....this may require a little bit of effort, almost as much as dripping (and yes you can plug in a drip tip to a lot of cartos to make this easier.

One last thought: I'm an atty kind of guy. I tried to like cartos as much as attys, really I did. I love the idea of having a multitude of different flavors loaded in different cartos in my pocket while I'm out and about. I've tried a LOT of cartos. I mean a LOT of em. None have ever stood toe to toe with a good atty IMO. Attys just give better more consistent performance and taste. Also, attys last much longer, making them cheaper. To make matters worse, to get consistent performance out of a carto, you'll be topping that baby up all the time. You'll still have that dripper bottle in your pocket when you leave the house unless you are making a real quick errand. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people like cartos, and I'm glad there are a lot of y'all out there, because maybe one day someone will finally create a carto that I love as much as an atty, and I hope it does happen, I'd convert instantly with no looking back. I'm not trying to persuade you or anything, but maybe you should consider investing in a mod that feeds the atty for you. I know I've been uber happy with my bottom feeder, and I was once exactly where you were at. I spent a ton of money trying to find the perfect carto, only to realize that, when it comes down to it, when I started dripping, I got too spoiled by the great hits a properly wet atty can provide. Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Dual coils. They've ruined me for anything else, even the Boge LRs feel weak to me now (I still use em on my Joye 510s though).

In fact, I heard there was somewhere selling 15 Dual Coils for $20, and that the supplier was going to keep the sale going indefinitely. But I can't for the life of me find what vendor that was... Anyone that knows and lets it be known gets +25 Interwebz.

It's Crystal Clear Vaping - great guy

I was actually looking at that website, their dual coils are Advertised as "Mega Dual Coils," with nothing about the threading or anything. I assume they're 510 threading and will work with my Mega eGo, but I'm not sure. Either way, including a Syringe and Drip tips is a very nice perk, I hope they work!

They are 510. I have used the XL clear (mega) on my Riva. They're recommended for true 3.7v+, but many people are using them on eGo and Riva PVs.

I don't know if CCV has their payment situation fixed yet, but if you want to pay with PayPal, just wait for him to email you instructions - he ships really fast, and all the freebies and free shipping is great.
