The Ce3's hold a nice amount of fluid and I really like them. You have to hold them upside down and inject the juice into it using a blunt needle. It isn't that hard to do. A lot of newbies like the cartomizers. If you were a heavy smoker, I think I would recommend the CE3's. Look under the stickies here on the SI forum and they will have some videos you can watch.

You can refill the tobacco flavored cartomizers with any tobacco flavor you like, basically, and re use them until they fry. I did that at first. It is the same price for blank cartos and pre-filled cartos so that is what I did. I bought 5 Ry4 cartos and 5 Freedom cartos and refilled them with the Ry4 juice or the Freedom uice. After awhile I just used any tobacco juice since I am not that picky on the flavors being blended a bit:)

You will get much better flavor from the CE3's. The nano's are another option, which is kind of a blend of the carto and the CE3. But they are prone to coming apart at the base. If you have a way to prefill and store several ce3's, I would go with those. The keychain case seem like a nice way to store several prefilled. I may switch back to the ce3's once I run out of my stock of nano's. Since I now have a keychain case to carry some prefilled ones around.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Another vote for the CE3, bar far my favorite so far. I keep 15-20 in use and fill them "bulk" using larger syringes, like 10ml or 20ml to make it go faster. They last a long time, just retired the last of my batch from when they first came out! You can't go wrong with them, at least in my opinion.

I defer to the experts on the CE3s, I (gasp!) did not try those. Just want to tell you that it's my belief that we should always keep a few cartos tucked away in case the unthinkable happens with our "stuff". Personally, I use cartos quite a bit, they are trustworthy and never leak a drop. Backups, backups, backups.

Since Smokeless Image is having a GREAT sale going on right now through Monday (26% off everything), you should get a few of each to try for yourself. A 5-pack of blank carto's, a 5-pack of CE3's, a couple of nano's and maybe an X2 clearomizer.

Everybody has their own personal preference of which they like better. Me personally, I like the nano's, others absolutely hate them. I've had about 12 nanos and none have failed me so far. I also like the X2 clearomizer because it has a warmer vape and very easy to fill. I have a couple of pks of CE3's too. My inventory includes some of each. There are so many options that you shouldn't limit yourself to just one thing.

Just my :2c:

Me I like CE3 and waiting on T3 to be available. I've use carto when I first started. I like it because it is foolproof easy to fill and carry around. The problem is short life and hard to change flavor. CE3 I think you know how good these are from all the posts here. I like the idea of just try everything and see it yourself too.

You have a very good point, Get both and see for my self. I allready have the nano's. Later I will get the X2 and Clearomizer.

I haven't tried the nano's, yet, and may not. That said, my favorite delivery device from SI is the clearo; but I find them awkward on the 78mm batts. I do indeed like the CE3's, and for all the reasons stated above.
BUT, I use the standard blank cartos all the time. They are the best 808 cartomizer on the market, and I can stand it if I run out of CE3's or clearos (gasp!), but I must have cartos from SI at all times. For ease of fill and use, they can't be beat.

I like CE3's, but there are a few negatives when compared to cartos. They can leak if you are unlucky. They need to be cleaned out every once in a while. Even then they build up with gunk on the coil. I had 2 prematurely die I think because I did not clean them out properly.

The cartos are made of steel. Flavor is not as strong, and I feel like I am sucking through cotton when I vape. They are basically bulletproof, no cleaning, filling is easy, and I have never had one leak [unless I fill poorly].

Even with the negatives, and the extra work in cleaning them out, I prefer the CE3 just based on the strength of the flavor and vapor production. You are effectively using more juice per hit. But it is the best I have tried as a newbie. [CE3 > x2 clearo > carto.]

That said, for my sister, I just ordered her a ton of cartos. She wants to try e-cigs, and the definitely liked the CE3, but did not like the work that goes into it.

If you want easy, cartos are the easiest to fill, no cleaning, and durable.

If you want the best vape, CE3 cannot be beat.

Definitely try them all, find the one that works best FOR YOU, and stock up!

EDIT: I am not as experienced with the x2 clearo. As I said above, the hit is not as good as a CE3, but still good. I have only refilled mine twice so far, and will clean it out once the tank is near empty. So many toys and juices to try out. I think it's half the fun. :)
