Wicks vs Carto's

[Ginsu]

Just curious. Which has a better throat hit and a better taste of the juice .........
Wicks = recommended Ohm for good throat hit / Flavor
Carto's = recommended Ohm for good throat hit / Flavor
* Hope i got it right

Thanks in advance

I only use wicks, but from what I've heard cartos provide a much fuller flavour. I just can't get away from the vivi novas and stardusts.

I like 801 fusion standard 2.8-3.0 also SmokTek 4.5 carts. Ive tried wick systems and find them to be inferior. But that is just my opinion. I use a phionac Tank most of the time but I like my Siam Cubed, also IBT or Little Mamma

Throat hit comes mostly from nicotine and VG, so as long as you have a decent battery either will suffice. Which has a better flavor is very subjective. Some like cartos, some prefer wicks. Try both to see which one YOU prefer. In order to recommend an ohm, we'd need to know what device you have, as it will depend on the voltage of your device as to what ohms you will need.

I've only used cartos, but I have a Vivi nova tank I'm waiting to use once I get my Provari....on Tuesday yay!

Throat hit comes from nicotine and PG. VG provides more vapor. My target wattage is at 9 or so. Provides great throat hit and vapor with 70/30 PG/VG with barely 6mg nicotine. Low nicotine because I'm trying to get my body to ween off of nicotine. At times I hit with 12mg and it's damn satisfying.

Stardust is really good. User-friendly too!

Wick tanks, at least where the Vivi's are concerned, darken the color of your juice as you work your way through a tank's worth. It's clearly visible if you decide to top off half way through; you can actually see the color variation between what was there and what has been just added. For me, I was vaping Alice in Vapeland's White Rabbit - normally amber in color, turns a darker brown when I hit the half full/empty point. This hasn't happened to me while vaping HHV's Cinful Pear, however Cinful Pear is pretty much a clear juice to begin with.

Cartos are harder to fill, but the juice color remains consistent throughout.

Wick tanks have to be tipped to keep wet (as the tank gets lower), cartos have to be dry pulled on to keep the polyfill moist, or you'll get a dry burn. Each have their pro's and cons. With cartos, you can hear the juice vaping...with wick tanks, it's pretty much silent.

100vg juices may be difficult for cartos due to their thicker viscosity. No problem however using 100vg in a Vivi tank.

As far as throat hit is concerned, I think that has more to due with juice ratio and voltage setting.
