Ikenvape.com sells the best atomizers and cartomizers. I use both and have excellent results but getting his cartomizers takes alot of stalking his site. Sign up for his email notifications. His atty's are out of this world for production of vapor, flavor, and longevity.

If I can't get Iken's cartomizers, I love Boge brand. Most vendors carry them. If you get a box and like them, the cheapest place I've found to purchase them is greenhouseone.com. I usually buy 10 boxes at a time...cost with the cheapest shipping for 10 boxes is $57.60. If you have a true 3.7v ego battery (you have to test it under load and I don't know how to do it), then you can safely use low resistance cartomizers.

Iken's atty's are a little higher priced than some vendors standard gear is but it's worth the extra couple dollars. Isaac also has first class mail option so shipping is cheap. If you decide to purchase some, use coupon code ECF5 for 5 percent off. Every little penny helps.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi Pammers! Congratulations on quitting! After my first month, I pretty much gave up on atomizers, and switched to Boge cartomizers. They work great on both Ego & T-rex. Liberty flights carries them, as do several other vendors.
I never quite got the hang of cartridges and was tired of the leaking. Also, I seem to burn attys out quickly. Cartomizers solve alot of those problems. You can also add a cool "drip tip" to the cartomizer so it's easier to add fluid - cherryvapes makes cute ones.
Good luck to you!

Thank you, hairball - as someone who is currently housing 16 cats and 4 newborn kittens, I've conversed with hairballs many times, but never without using curse words.

I have my doubts as to whether or not my Ego is authentic. The vendor claims on his site to sell authentic JOYE products but I haven't seen it available elsewhere in purple and the quality does not match the first Ego that I purchased from Liberty Flights. Even someone selling knock-offs would claim they are genuine, right? How is a person to know?

I will gladly pay a few dollars more to get the best quality, in the long run it always turns out to be most economical route. I appreciate the information, including the 5% discount code. I see that Ikenvape.com sells an assortment of cartomizers for the 510s. How do I know which is the right one for my Ego? And.....do you know anything about the "Expert" 510 Atomizer that Litecigusa sells?

Thanks technovapir. I'm not sure I understand this whole dripping thing. Does it work with cartomizers but not atomizers and cartridges? I have seen the cute drip tips for sale, including a purple and blue one that would look great with my purple Ego, but I don't know how to use them. Can you direct me to a video or picture? Don't put yourself out, just point me in the general direction and I'll look for it myself. Thanks again.

Pammers, the true purpose of the drip tip is to put it on an atomizer and drip 3 drops of liquid through it directly onto the atty to vape. When you use a cartomizer, you fill it up with liquid, and then just top it off occasionally. The advantage of using a drip tip with a cartomizer is that it's easier to remove for topping it off, than the little rubber cap would be. There are several
videos about cartomizers in general - I think they're under the forum heading for equipment & cartomizers.
If I can find one, I'll come back here & edit my post to add a link.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXAwsqRI0E8&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
This video has lots of useful info!

5 cats, 6 small dogs, gerbil, a daughter, and husband...daughter and husband also qualify as pets...LOL.

You can use any of the 510 cartomizers that don't say LR 510. Same thing with atty's. I don't know bout the Expert 510. You might check their forum to see if anyone has used them or even post a question about their performance. I've purchased from litecigusa and have always had quality products delivered but never used any atty's from them.
