I really want to like carto's. My only experience with them has been less than satisfactory. Here's the carto's I got:

Blank Cartomizers for the 510!

I don't know exactly what brand/model that they are. All I know is that the draw on them is easy but the vapor is crap and there's very little flavor unless I use my strongest (cinnabomb) juice. There is also basically a non existent throat hit. I just want a carto that has the same hit as the cart/atty combo with the same flavor.

Can any of you point me to some carto's that will give me this? I don't understand much about the LR carto's or different wattage's and what they mean. Sorry, nooby question here :oops:

What kind of batteries are you using?

EDIT: The cartos in your link are most certainly SLB (the brass colored threads). I don't much care for them.

My favorite 510 cartos for the eGo/Riva class batteries are Boge 2.0Ω; I buy mine from LiteCig or Liberty Flights (don't forget to click the 20% off button in the upper left corner). Boge cartos have silver threads.

If you have a 510 battery, try Premium Platinum cartos (2.5Ω) or Drip Tip cartos from IkenVape. I like them both alot and they will also work great on the eGos; the vape will be a tad cooler than the 2.0Ω cartos, but just as enjoyable.

I second Isaac's (IkenVape) cartos. And now he is selling the V2 gold (drip tip) cartos without the drip tips... yay! Oh and... LR cartos now too... double yay!

I've tried that style of 510 carto before and didn't like them either. I hated how fat they were (I don't use round tips on atties, so using a round carto that's as fat as the battery was awkward for me) and also how little vapor I got from them. But I just got the Joye hard plastic kind (these) and I think I like them. The flavor/vapor is much better and I the fact that they're tapered a bit at the mouth end makes them more comfortable to use.

The downside is that you can't see the filler so the only way you can tell when you need more liquid is by taste (and then you really don't know how much more to add). So I find myself adding liquid way more often than I'd read you're supposed to have to. Also, since I don't have a syringe (the proper method for filling these), I do the initial fill with the "condom method" and then add drops as needed directly through the hole on the threaded end. Seems to work, but if you add too much, the'll leak out the excess.

Anyway, you might want to give these a try. I'm still trying to get used to them, but I definitely like them better than the kind you linked to with the rubber caps.
