StephLK Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I use the eGo battery and I'm looking for some advice about cartomizers. I started with the CE-2 V-4 Ceramic Cartomizers (http://www.awesomevapor.com/CE-2-V-4-Ceramic-Cartomizers-for-the-510-and-eGo-NO-GLUE-OR-FILLER-GUARANTEED_p_199.html) and recently bought a handful of eGo Cartomizers High Capacity (http://www.awesomevapor.com/eGo-Cartomizer-High-Capacity-1_p_194.html). I like and dislike both for different reasons. The CE-2s were great, but were a chore to refill so often. The eGo High Caps are nice, but tricky to fill. Either they don't hold as much as they're supposed to or I'm filling the wrong because they start leaking everywhere, which is messy and annoying. Is there something that will work better with the eGo batteries or is there a better way to use or fill the eGo High Cap cartos? Any advice would be appreciated!
DAYVAPE Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 After trying MANY different brands... I'm STILL set and liking the 'Boge Cartos' (2.0/LR/silver threads in particular)!
StephLK Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 After trying MANY different brands... I'm STILL set and liking the 'Boge Cartos' (2.0/LR/silver threads in particular)! Do they work with eGo bats? Where do you buy them? Thanks!
DAYVAPE Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Indeed they do work on the eGo... Here is where I typically get them... since Chris is usually sold out. Cartomizers Edited June 30, 2011 by DAYVAPE
Kingbtheone Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 same here and same vendor. the 2.0's are the best, i recommend nothing less than 2.0 ohms for the ego battery.
mcquinn Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I like the Boge regular resistance .Good life and they work well.
snubber Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Would have to agree. Ever since DayVape got me hooked on carto's I've used nothing else except the Boge 2.0's. I usually get mine from Vapor Kings...they are marked with the 2.0 on them so I always know what I've got. Good luck and happy vaping.
Tony_C Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I like Boge's , haven't decided on LR or regular,LR has stronger flavor, warmer vapor, but regular the flavor lasts longer. I got mine from electronicstix also.
StephLK Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Okay - I've gone through a few threads and have an idea of what cartomizers I want to try. Before I order I want to make sure everything will work with an ego bat. If there is anything that works with an ego that I haven't included and you think it's a must try - please let me know and link to where I can buy it. (Wouldn't it be nice if all of these were sold in the same place?? Not looking forward to all the s&h) Or if I've listed something here that won't work, please let me know that too. Cartomizers I currently use: eGo Cartomizer High Capacity (1) LOVE how much jucie this holds. Leaks though and it's hard for me to tell when I've overfilled. Also really like the mouth piece - can't really explan why... CE-2 V-4 Ceramic Cartomizers for the 510 and eGo NO GLUE OR FILLER! GUARANTEED! Great vapor, warm and lots of it. Have to constantly refill though. Cartomizers on my 'to buy' list: Clearomizers XL (for 510 and eGo) Hopefully the clear tube will make it easier to see how much I can fill and the larger capacity will be nice. GotVapes VISION Clear Giant 3.5ml 510 Cartomizer 1 Piece [gv-visionclearomizer-3.5ml] - $8.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more This is more than I want to pay, so I'm on the fence about this one. But, it's clear, big and has a similar mouth piece to the one I use so this is high on the maybe list. C.C.V. Mega LR 1.7 (THE RESURRECTOR) Not much to say about this one. The review made it seem worth a try. :-) BLANK BOGE 2.0 OHM LOW RESISTANCE 510 CARTOMIZERS (STAINLESS) BLANK BOGE STANDARD 510 CARTOMIZERS (STAINLESS) Good reviews and seem like they'd be worth a try. Thank you all so much for your feedback so far! Once I've ordered I'll let you know how everything works out. :-) Edited July 7, 2011 by StephLK
DAYVAPE Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Looks like a mighty fine list you got going there! (especially the 'Boge Cartos' if I don't say so myself!) If I had to pick one thing on that list that jumps out at me screaming "NOOO, DON'T BUY ME!", I would say with certainty the ''GotVapes VISION Clear Giant 3.5ml 510 Cartomizer 1 Piece - $8.95'' Say what... $8.95... per cartomizer... say it isn't so?? I personally would want to make damn certain those perform as they are supposed too, and better than anything I've ever tried, before dropping that much a single carto... but that's just me. Oh, and I do know that the clear versions of cartos are definitely much weaker and apt to crack on you. I'm not knocking Gotvapes here... this is simply my 2 cents: In my opinion, sometimes they have a clever way of coming out with all these crazy/cool 'next best thing in the e-cig world' parts that look totally awesome! But, I feel like there are a lot of people drawn in to that and end up making some impulse buy and later regretting their purchase simply because it didn't live up to what it was supposed to do. Trust me... I've seen a lot of their 'wacky/cool' products that nearly had me pushing the 'Add to Cart' button more than once! Only to find out a few weeks later on someones video review that whatever it was doesn't perform as stated at all! All I'm saying here is to remember 'buyer beware' sometimes if you haven't seen or read a bunch of positive reviews from others about the product. On the other hand, you just never know, they might work like a champ and you will come back happy as hell about something and talking us all in to getting it too! In that case... heck yeah, buy one of everything and come back and give me a detailed report on each item. Would that be cool with you? Edited July 7, 2011 by DAYVAPE
JonHitThingWithRock Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 i'm gonna throw in another option, the smoktech dual coil cartomizers, they're 1.5 ohm resistence, so they hit a bit harder than the boge's, and they do change the flavor somewhat dramatically, but with certain flavors, it's a good change, and they're big and hold a lot of juice, i've gone a full day with one full carto. some people don't like these, but i've had good luck so far, just avoid the clear ones, you have to be super careful or they'll crack. I use dual-coil's for coffee flavors mostly, the vapor is too hot for fruit flavors imo, i stick to boge's for fruit flavors. Jon
fran1959 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I'm going to agree with Dayvape on the 8.95 per cartomizer. I use fluxomizers from the same place and love them, they are 9 or 10 bucks for 5. The LR carts are also the same ones I use so definitely recommend them.
StephLK Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Hi again! I couldn't afford to get everything all at once, but I do have 5 cartomizers that I can compare. Keep in mind that this is based on my own personal preferences. I've never actually reviewed anything before so I don't know if there's an accepted standard, but I thought I'd give it a shot. If this should be a new thread, please let me know. *Note three of these just arrived today so I am waiting to compare longevity until I can compare all five equally. I am starting with a new carto for each option tonight. On the second fill (if I remember) I'll re-review each to see how they stand up if anyone would like. Just let me know. *Pictures coming soon. eGo Cartomizer High Capacity (1) http://www.awesomevapor.com/eGo-Cartomizer-High-Capacity-1_p_194.html Hard to Fill - (1) - 2 - 3 - Easy to Fill Cool Vapor - (1) - 2 - 3 - Warm Vapor Holds Little Juice - 1 - (2) - 3 - Holds Much Juice Little Vapor - 1 - (2) - 3 - Much Vapor Little Throat Hit - 1 (2)- - 3 - Big Throat Hit Unaesthetic - 1 - 2 - (3) - Aesthetically Pleasing Taste (hit 1) bad - 1 - 2 - (3) - Good Taste (hit 5) burnt/dry - 1 -(2) - 3 - Good Observations: Underwhelming, but decent.

This is the first carto I ever bought and I haven't vaped anything but a carto since.

A BIG +++ for that. Doesn't look that smooth and not warm at all. The good thing about that is that it doesn't get hot, burnt or dry tasting, even if you're chain-vaping. Overall I like it, but it's not worth the high price.

StephLK Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 24 hour update: eGo Cartomizer High Capacity (1) No real changes. I've been using these for a few months and they endure well, minus the melting if you let it get too hot. Will take a lot of refills before you need to toss. CE-2 V-4 Ceramic Cartomizers for the 510 and eGo NO GLUE OR FILLER! GUARANTEED! Used this one for longer than the one above. Great endurance, lots of refills. Nothing changed from last nights review. Clearomizers XL (for 510 and eGo) Definitely moving down from my top choice. Maybe the first out of the box was just a dud, but I vaped it for a few hours last night. Being mindful of reports that it was fragile, I put it in a safe place rather than carrying it around with me in my car and to work. Went to use it again tonight and it's dead. I hadn't used even half of the juice I put in it. I have no idea what happened between it working last night and being dead today when I put it back on the battery. I'm disappointed in this one. There are 4 more in the pack - once I'm done with my trial of all 5 options I'll see if the next one works better. GotVapes VISION Clear Giant 3.5ml 510 Cartomizer 1 Piece [gv-visionclearomizer-3.5ml] - $8.95 : This one is growing on me. I toted it around with me all day today in a soft pouch I keep in my purse. It's seen at least eight hours of use and I've only used about a third of the juice I put in it last night. I've detached and reattached it to batteries, not been super careful at all and it's still working like a champ. I wish it had a smoother look when attached to a batt and that the vapor was a bit warmer, but this is really moving up the list. I won't say it's worth the money yet, but it's getting there. BLANK BOGE 2.0 OHM LOW RESISTANCE 510 CARTOMIZERS (STAINLESS) Haven't given this one a good workout yet. Project for tomorrow! :-)
