I was using a Janty Dura when I last vaped. So, my question is - what's new? What have I missed. Particularly in terms of performance - have there been breakthroughs?
The Janty Dura is a 510 model, and those perform pretty well.
What issues were you having?

no filler cartos.
Whereabouts does one find a no-filler cartomizer?

Well... things that I came across today that I've never heard of....

Cartomizer - apparently a combination of the atomizer and cartridge. What's the good and bad with cartomizers?

Dripper - Drippers?

Automatic Feeding System - eh? I saw this in a review for the "GG AVS for GGTS".

Low resistance Attys: What's up with that?

So what's the advantage to a big device like the GLV posted above? Bigger longer lasting batteries? 5V v.s 3.7V? Better vaporizing with more voltage?

One thing that I recall as bothersome was the cartridges and the cartridge material. There was a lot of experimenting going on when I quit with alternative materials. There was concern about the normal cartridge material burning during use and related health issues. At the time I gave it up, no suitable solution/alternative seemed forthcoming. So anything new here?

I love cartos. They hold more juice, hit and taste better than a 510 atty (IMO) and you get a box of 5 for $8.00.

Dripper - Drippers?

Dripping directly on an atty wick. I personally don't have time to mess around like that.

Automatic Feeding System - eh? I saw this in a review for the "GG AVS for GGTS".

The GGTS (Golden Greek Telescopic Storm) is a really expensive nicely made Greek mod. They also make an AFS (Automatic Feed System) that hold 3 ml (I thinl) of juice and automatically pumps it imnto the atty.

Low resistance Attys: What's up with that?

Low resistance attys allow more wattage to the coil supposedly emulating a higher voltage. Don't see it myself. Wasn't impressed. They cost more and burn out faster. Lots of people swear by them though. Go figger.

So what's the advantage to a big device like the GLV posted above? Bigger longer lasting batteries? 5V v.s 3.7V? Better vaporizing with more voltage?

The GLV 2, 5 volt fits in the hand like a dream and with a standard atty or carto will kick your ...! Me likey!

This is one reason I like cartos, the messing with carts and fillers. As far as health issues associated with burning the filler, just don't. Keep that sucker wet.
 
I also attempted vaping a little over a year ago with a DSE901 starter kit but didnt succeed until I tried again a few months ago. There's so many improvements now! These new things may have existed a year ago, but are not as prevalent then as they are today:

-Mods: Vaping above 3.7 volts (often at 5 or 6 volts) and superior battery life.
-cartomizers: "disposable" attomizers, often pre-filled with juice, but you can easily refill them. They last anywhere from 1 week to about 3 weeks. They don't hit as well as real attys, but are super convenient !
-The eLiquid ! For me, this is the greatest improvement from about a year ago. Now, people have really nailed the flavor and the throat hit.
-T-tips/zip-tips: You put them on your atty instead of a regular plastic tip with the small opening. Increases the size of the opening so you can direct drip without removing the tip
-Low resistance atomizer: an atomizer with lower resistance so you can experience the feeling of higher voltage on a regular 3.7 volt device

Good luck, if you have more questions, please ask :D
 
How do higher voltage devices improve the experience?

Since they have more power, they produce much more vapor that yields (IMO) a superior taste and throat hit. Not everyone prefers a high-voltage device, but I was truly blown away when I first tried my prodigy v3. I pressed down the button for about 1.5 seconds and got more vapor than I have ever seen from my previous 3.7 volt device.

If you desire clouds of vapor and super long battery life and are willing to spend $100+ and some routine maintenance, then a high-voltage mod may be the way to go.

If you want portability and something that is as simple as possible to use, then I would go with a regular 3.7 like the eGo.
