I can easily get Royal Smokers XL (1.8 ml) ultimate clearomizers, CE3 XL Smokymizers, Giant AP 2ml / 3.3ml, XL (3.7 ml) turbo giantomizers, dual coil (5ml / 3.5 ml / 1.6ml) cartos, and triple coil (1.8 ml) cartos. The dual coils and triple coils all have wool-type filler material.

Which of these are the best?

I want to be able to use them at 4.2V. The longer they last (number of refills), the better. Flavor is important to me. The amount of vapor is somewhat important. And I don't really care about TH.
 
I am a BIG fan of the DualCoil Cartomizers, but they literally draw twice as much power from the battery (at 4.2V it will draw 2.8A) so they should only be used with "big batteries".

Except for the CE2/CE3 clearomizers, the main difference between the other cartos you mention is the amount of liquid they will hold between refills...Everyone's taste is different so you should probably try several different cartos and decide for yourself what you like--each has its own advantages/disadvantages and your own tastes may change from day to day. Try just one (or perhaps a box of 5) of each of several and then order more after you figure out which you like best.

Happy vaping!

I love my DCs @ 4.2v! I got tired of the fiddling with CE2s. Like Thulium said, they drink liquid, but it's totally worth it!. I have my DC mounted into a DCT MAP tank and it's been going for 7days, never dry. I use it on my 18650 VV boxmod, so no worries with battery drop-off through a 24hr period, either. W1n!!

+1 on dual coil cartos. Everyone has their preference but these are for me. They take a bit more work as you want to keep these wet by adding a few drops every now & then. Clearos are easier in that respect as you can fill once & vape until empty but vapor production & flavor lacks.

Tasting the filler material in single coil cartos drove me to dripping, but the dual coils are sweet. If you like the duals, consider adding a tank down the road.

What 4.2v - how many mah? One rebrander claims their slim model is 4.2v which is marketing BS - all 3.7v batteries including all KR808D-1 slim minis are 4.2v right off the charger - but they are called 3.7, not 4.2

Whatever cartos you get, LR is for batteries 450mah+, not for slim minis. I consider LR to be below 2.4 ohms

If you have a 510-threaded mod or that clone Ego 3-stage etc, also try the most popular LR 510-threaded cartos, Boge 2.0 - the simplest & most popular
