Carts = cartomizers looking at COV I assume regular size means short like a single coil 510 and XL means the longer version please correct me if I'm wrong....

Ok, Cartos are a horse of a different color. There seems to be a little more variance in diameter. For the most part they all have the same diameter. Clearomizers are wider and well as some of the XXL and larger. If you are not sure, I would contact the seller about the specific Carto you are looking at purchasing to make sure that is is 9mm in diameter.

All of the cartos at COV will fit fine in your UFS. Another supplier I would check out is Welcome to SmokTek - The Better Smoking Alternative - Your source for personal vaporizers, e-cig supplies and e-liquids

As for performance, I have found that LR carto's do not compare to LR atty's or especially the Iatty with a LR coil. If you want something to compare to the Iatty, I would try a either a SR 510 single coil at 6v or a dual coil at 6v. In this configuration the carto will stay wet in the tank and crank out the vapor.

1 last warning. If you like 100% VG juice, It will not flow well into the carto unless you thin the juice a little bit. I have found that a 30 part juice to 1 part distilled water will not affect the flavor, but just make it flow a lot better.

I already have a UFS so I take myself out of this run.

Speaking of attys for the UFS, I saw this video the other day and did the same but instead of a tank I used the UFS. The results were good, not great but fair good. Maybe some adjusts here and there and would be a great solution. Maybe If more of you try this some great ideas may arise. :)

I don't understand the language but is very self explanatory.

What do you think?

Oh wow now I have even more to think about... I am 100%very VG all the way and all coffee flavors... I would like to run the UFS in full mode not Shorty mode .... I also can't afford to spend 20 bucks for 1 Atty either the HH is way out of my budget... and to even spend 8 bucks per Atty seems a bit steep... I was looking more at the 5 packs for 12 bucks kinda gear... or is that just not an option with the UFS???

I've heard (but not tried) that the dual coil atty will fit (it's longer). I use the DC Carto (LR, two 1.5ohm coils) and it works perfectly, in fact it sticks out far enough that you can add a second top ring (piece above the window) to get a 10ml tank and still have it sticking out the top.

That is totally an option if you are willing to stack batts. Try taking 1 bottle of juice and doing the 30 to 1 water dilution ratio and pick yourself up a 5 pack of stickerless standard 510 cartos, 3 ohm. Do you have 3v batts? I used to be all about lr with a big batt till I got my GG. A 3 ohm carto in a tank with 2 3.2v LiFeP04 batts is the most satisfying vape setup I own. This would allow you to keep the UFS in big mode.

Your only other option to keep the tank in big mode and use standard size attys is to pick up the atty extender and mouthpiece (which is OOS at COV).

If you have 3v batts, just pick up some stickerless standard 510 cartos and have a ball.

All my batts are 3.7v as I only use AW IMR so I purchased the new COV DCA 1.5 ohm, the Joye 1.5ohm & a 5 pack of the regular size 1.5ohm DC Cartomizers.... should be a good starting point I hope....

Went to order another UFS this morning as a backup and saw that they were out of stock. Figured "ah well" that's OK. I've been watching them since they hit the site and was also surprised that they lasted that long (2 days). Anyone know how many UFS Bruce received today?

I say today because just a little bit ago I checked the site again and it said that they were back in stock so either he received them in today and had more to offer or someone cancelled their order. Either way it was snag-city for the Repent meister.

As of the moment of this post they are still in stock. If you wanted one and thought they were sold out.....HURRY!

I love the DC 1.5 oHm cartos in my UFS. Tons of vapor and flavor at 6.4v. Not nearly as finicky as an atty can be, especially for the UFS newbie.

The following is the way I do things. (I'm describing me using a DC carto at 1.5 oHm and at 6.4v). You may do it differently and that's fine but if you're a UFS newbie give my method below a try because at least it's a starting point and from there; adapt, improvise, and overcome.

I would recommend this route for newbies. Go carto first.


  • Pre-fill carto with juice, insert into UFS, close juice control by screwing counterclockwise like you were removing that part. It will stop though when it bottoms out against the carto, effectively closing that section off. Close air control by screwing clockwise until the control ring stops. You have now covered the air intake holes. Juice and air are now "turned off".
  • I always work with the UFS unattached from my GGTS or other mod. I do it this way so when I'm ready to attach the UFS I can do a final inspection by looking for leaks.
  • Assemble UFS to either GGTS or other mod, open air intake by unscrewing the air control ring. I open mine all the way. Open yours consistent with how stiff or loose you like your draw.
  • Vape your head off and enjoy. Leave juice control turned off right now because if you open it prematurely, the juice has no where to go since the carto is full of juice and you will flood the UFS.
  • When you start to get that dry carto taste, open the juice control and watch for bubbles. Open juice control a little bit at a time and dry vape (taking a vape but not hitting the fire button) until juice is fed into the carto. Sometimes a little turn goes a long way.
  • If you have the air control wide open and the juice control wide open and are dry vaping and are not getting any juice into the carto most likely you have a vacuum lock issue. Simple to remedy.
  • FIRSTLY, close down the juice control all the way then open up again slightly, maybe one half turn to start (as you are learning). Then remove mouthpiece, remove the new top cap, and unscrew the top tank cover about two times (revolutions) and look for bubbles. If no bubbles unscrew a few more times. Typically you'll see bubbles now. Close top tank cover, re-seat new top cap and mouthpiece then try to dry vape. You should be OK now as you've broken the vacuum effect inside the tank and the juice can now flow.
  • The reason I said to close the juice control and then open slightly is because if you left it open it will have let in too much juice and the UFS will have a heavy gurgling sound when you vape on it. This is the sound of a flooded UFS. Don't worry, alternate between dry vaping and hitting the fire button as you vape and you'll pull that extra juice into the carto and it will be vaped up. I've had a lot of success in this method.

You can practice your juice control this way until you have an understanding of the "mechanics" involved. Cartos are more forgiving if you open the juice control too much as you can dry vape the juice into the carto (and thusly into the carto batting) and then when the gurgling is (mostly) gone, fire away and vape.

Remember that all cartos and attys are different and you most likely will have to manipulate what I've said to suit your vaping style and even your altitude.

Thanks guys I appreciate the advice .... I understand the mechanic's and function of the UFS and as a GGTS & iAtty user have lots of practice with my air control ring so no worries there... I think that the DCA 1.5ohm from COV, the Joye LR 510 and the DC 1.5ohm cartomizers I have coming should work well for my first uses with the new UFS... I am glad I kept the SS drip tip I bought when I had a MAP TANK...

You sound like me man! It is good to hang onto things when space allows! I know I still have the box and user manual for my first Browning Hi-Power purchased in 1974 for $112.50 at a Western-Auto Store. My wife is most irritated at that one I think. But as I tell her, you never know when it may have to go in for warranty work! :laugh:

I would suggest you start out w/cartomizers first on the UFS and try out the DC atty last.

I got the SS Ming tip for the UFS as well as the SS screw on tip. Mostly use the Ming.


There you have it MrKrinkle - some like the SS Ming, others like Imeo's. I got a SS Ming and got rid of it the same day. I loved the way it fit in my mouth and the vapor, but couldn't abide the looks of it on my GGTS or UFS. But thats just me and how my tastes run. If I could get past the looks of it, it is a great tip.

I do plan to use the cartomizer first as its a cheaper mistake to make my first go around with the UFS but can I ask why do you suggest this as well for the same reason or is there another reason you suggest this???

It is a cheaper mistake. Also the carto is already primed, you can tell when it starts to wane better than an instant dry burning atty. Easeier to suck up extra juice into carto than a regular atty. I just find it IMO the easiest way to start out w/a UFS. The DC atty is the hardest to keep both coils wet while not flooding. Especially if one has never used a UFS before. Hope this helps.
