See and compare for yourself but I think V4L Coolcarts may be repackaged Boge kr-808s

At the end of the day I'll also be on the Dripper Squad with you, NebulaBrot. While this carto isn't as horrible as I imagined it...no comparison. The VapeMate, so far, is the best alternative for dripping and driving. I have one (older) Ikenvape 3.5 mini that won't accept any drip tip except for a whistle-tip. Great atty so not going to toss it. I saw a guy named Cappy (?) on YouTube had an extra long needle tip and I've seen you post the link for the bottle but never Smokie's demo. This is quite a find. I imagine this would work like that: Lurer Lock bottles? I got a couple to fill my tanks.
You know what Drew says - cartos need to be broken in. Was this your first fill? Maybe this is one of the type that is better second or third time around?
Coolcart - check. Will give them a try. Thanks, Mark!
Sewknitty, I can't marry my mods, as they are all my guys! My (soon to be) Darwin will be my Knight in Shining Armour tho.
Carts? Did you say carts? As in polyfill, blue foam, screws, straws and the like? I can't see ever using those again (ok, except for an emergency) and I doubt I would try one on my (upcoming, soon to be) Darwin Knight. But then again, I'll prolly be curious.
My wife uses the Bloog Max Fusion KR808 set-up. She likes something that resembles an analog and the convenience of pre-filled cartos. I've used her pv a bit. Their pre-filled really aren't too bad tasting (compared to some that I've had) and the little spaceage looking PCC for her mini bloog batts is kind of neat. But, if you can drip and don't mind filling your own cartos, I wouldn't recommend them. Pricey and completely unnecessary. If you want KR808's, Drew has some noname batts and decent cartos in his store. Pretty sure that you won't like them as well as the CE2 Tanks and regular atty's. Kind of a waste of time on a Darwin. If you want to try something new, i would encourage you to try the 901's with a drip shield (to keep them from leaking). The drip shield tightens up the draw a little (for the better IMO) and keeps the juice where it belongs. I like the flavor from a 901 better than any of the others.
Should do just fine. Those are double the price but they also have alternate caps. The racer edge ones don't leak but the little red caps can get lost. I haven't lost any yet and I have 6 or 7 of them. I loaned out a bunch and never saw them again
Gotta order some more.
Kat, I have a co-ed stable of mods! The Reo has to be a female because she models a Twisted drip tip that exactly coordinates with her color combo so well. The Darwin, Silver Bullet and - out of respect for Fono - the Phidias have to be male, as does the Big Daddy because he's named Big Daddy! My JamBox is absolutely a petite female and I like to leave the Big KaZoo's options open. I do live in NY, after all. With that figure, of course the Omega is a female!
Imagine a Reo + Darwin combo for a moment...ahhh, what brilliant offspring they would be! I'm so fill-free it's kinda ridiculous but smart vapers far and wide are still relying on cartos with fill. Either they settle (sorry
) with a lesser vape experience for the convenience or I'm just being a snooty patooty. So, I took some of the cartos out of my cart but left in the 801s and the 801 Drip-O's. And, ya know what this means, right? It'll be forever while I go back and forth (and forth and back) adding stuff in and taking it out of that damn cart tonight. I'm gonna need more caffeine.
Okay, Ms. Kris, then that carto's not for you then. Win some, lose some.
Vapin', I think I might pop a kr-808 pack back in my cart. I mean...so many people buy these and I'm thinking that's a result of their mini days or they're sawesome (super awesome). I mean, for awhile after graduating from the mini I had an adapter to still use the 4081 because I liked 'em. And they're sold out of the Drip Shields. It's no wonder. Everybody (but me) seems to have snagged one!
Nebula, double the price you say? So trying yours!

Just don't forget to make sure that you have an adapter to fit them girlfriend.
You may be right, SK. I'll give them another go though 8>)
Am I the only one who has not tried 901?? Lol, I bought the drip shield, but keep forgetting to throw some 901 attys in my cart. I'm a bit curious why they are so popular despite the leaking problems they obviously have...anyone??

Dude...adapter is my middle name.
Nope! The leaking problem is why I haven't...well, that's not the only reason. They're just long 510's so they must REALLY be like vaping pencils. I do hear they're supposed to provide great flavor but let's think about that for a minute... Dimensions of a 510...giant hole...okay, where's the flavor-bringing part in that?? I'm still trying a couple, Kris. Ikenvape also has a 901 carto I might try to. Wonder if it has the infamous hole.

The greater the distance between your mouth and the atty, the cooler and more flavorful the vape. I'm vaping just below 5 volts most of the time into a 3.0 Ohm BE112 (801 penstyle class atty). I just love it. When I have a weak juice or a really layered flavor, I put on a 901 and really notice the difference at the same wattage. Go figure. It's really hard for me to get into the 510's like this. I just don't have the need for a TH, if it means giving up the flavor and texture of a really good juice.
Okay, but we have the magnificent 801 for flavor and it has no troublesome hole. I've also read the 901 is good for throat hit...maybe the diameter has something to do with that... Whatever...it'll still be like vaping a pencil for sure. And, a hole-y pencil at that!
As much as I like the coolcarts when I buy several sample bottles of new flavors (and I do buy a lot of them) I always try them first on my 3.7 volt batts with a 901 atty. This seems to be the best for me for getting the best flavor then decide whether to put that flavor into cartos or use a 510 atty or stick to the 901. Different juices perform better in specific applications for me. I have some that are so so in a carto and great on a 510 and many just the opposite. It took me a while to figure out the need for many different types of cartos or attys. Seems as though no one sells everything I use.
Quick question, I havent tried the mini map tanks yet, I've heard they are better a lower voltages to prevent wicking probs or burning taste. I usually vape around 4.5-5 volts, Are they good at these voltages? Thanks anyone who can answer. And will they work well on my soon to be delivered (hopefully) Darwin?

I haven't tried one yet Mark. But, from what I have read, they go through kind of a break in period on the wicks and the second or third tank runs better at higher voltages. I read the same things about the floss-less cartos all the time. The theme seems to be leaking OR wicking problems OR both. Some people are saying you have to burn in the wicks to season them. It all sounds like more work and trouble than dripping to me. Drew mentioned the other day that was looking into some new tank style units and would get back to us when he had a product he could recommend. I'm going to wait and see what he comes up with. He's one for one on this Darwin. I love it.
Yes, to the mini tanks at higher voltages. That's been my finding anyway. Ymmv. In fact, I actually prefer them to the 5ml at any voltage, probably because wicking is mega-reliable. I never had a break-in period with my mini tanks and if you run hot water over the wicks and drip a bit on the coil, you can avoid a lot of break-in disappointment with any ceramic (I've found). Again, ymmv.
Edit to add: that hot water thing is not to get any mysterious fluid or evilness off the wicks but is based on the same principle of breaking in cartos. Blot well, then fill with juice. I'm too lazy. I get a ceramic. I fill it. I vape.
And, 901s...for flavor. Is that because you've never tried an 801? That's a serious (as opposed to snarky) question, Mark. And, how did you start with the 901? I tried my first 801 because Ikenvape was out of 510's but not the 801s. As I searched for reviews I noticed some vapers were kinda nutty about them. Now I'm one of those nutty folks.

These BE112's are penstyle atty's. But they just don't bring the edge out on my lighter flavors as well as the 901's seem to for me.
Speaking of my loud juices. Have you guys ever tried the Absinthe from Totally Wicked (Decandent Vapours actually makes it over in the UK... But, TW sells it in the States)? It's one of my favorite "uniques". You know you're liking something when you go right for the biggest bottle every time you order it. LOL

They both work really well, Kris. I prefer the mini because I only want 5ml of the same juice if it's a Trapped in Traffic Day. The 5ml loves my usual juice - 60/40 (PG/VG) -from my daily vape vendor - but a 50/50, more viscous, juice from another vendor does well in the mini but not the 5ml.
I started in October 2009 vapeing with KR808 and cartomizers, it got me completely off analogs within 3 weeks, then i went to a 5 volt mod with an 808 connector, then to a vari volt mod late last year that had a 510 connection. With that vari volt was the first time I even tried atomizers and have only tried the 510 and 901. With what I have been reading lately I will try the 801 next for sure and possibly the BE112. Will have to find out where I can get a stealth 510 to 801 adapter if they are available, I believe I read that the BE112 will fit on a 510 connector so no adapter needed for that, right? Been vapeing a while but haven't tried everything I would like to yet. The only thing I have gone overboard on is juices, I think I have over 1000mls in about 35 or more flavors, thats been enough of a drain on the old bank account as you can imagine. Now that I have all these juices I plan on trying more different equipment.
