Ron Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 A special thank you to everyone who recommended the 510 LR Cartomizers for me to try on my recently acquired eGo. These things absolutely ROCK. After a few recommendations from kind folks here on the forums I was finally prodded into buying some when I watched the video review from bobthesalesclerk over on the electronicstix.com site. I filled up my first LR carto with BlueMist Caramel Tobacco last night and the first puff blew me away. I love how warm the vapor felt and my wife admired the billowing clouds I was producing. You were all right. I'm hooked! And to anyone who was on the fence about these, I'll add my voice to the chorus and say "Go for it". You won't be disappointed.
michealprater Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 The warm vapor is unbelieveable. Let me know how long they last you though. Mine seem to lose vapor production and become harsh after two days. That has been the only pitfall I have noticed.
Ron Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 The warm vapor is unbelieveable. Let me know how long they last you though. Mine seem to lose vapor production and become harsh after two days. That has been the only pitfall I have noticed. I've been told that they need to kept moist to extend the lifespan. I vaped for about two hours last night and only this morning did I begin to notice a decrease in both taste and vapor production. Sadly, I'm at work and my Caramel e-juice is home so I can't "top off". So I switched to a mega cart until I can get home and refill. So far, so good. I'm loving the warmth.
michealprater Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I keep them plenty wet, but it is almost like the gum up or something. The draw becomes difficult, harsh and barely any vapor.
michealprater Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 but all things considered, still better than smoking, and still cheaper. I love the warm vapor!
DAYVAPE Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I told ya so!! They are something! And it definately is a good idea to "top off" before each vape. Mine have lasted just as long as the others have so far.

DAYVAPE Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I hear ya! I just love cartos period! It's all I ever mess with anymore... I hated always wondering when it was time to add more juice, etc.... getting that nasty burnt taste from time to time, no thanks. Glad you like em and hope they continue to work out for you. Keep em wet!!
michealprater Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Found out that a 510 delrin drip tip fits tightly in the end of the low res cartos (both avail at madvapes.com) making carto topoffs a sinch!
thisbetterwork Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 LR cartos are all i use for my ego. provape has great deals on them too. if you buy eight 5 packs or more the price drops down to 6 bucks per pack.

I got the delrin drip tips at Dayvape's suggestion and they fit perfectly and work like a charm. I had to shoe-horn it into the carto the first time. Seemed tight, but that's a good thing for me since I like to "dangle" it between my teeth from time to time. And it makes "topping off" a no-brainer, especially when you don't have a paper clip handy to pry off the soft top.
DAYVAPE Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 They fit different from different vendors too I've found. But if it will go once... it will continue to fit better from then on. Good stuff!!
michealprater Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Should have know he beat me to it. I thought I was on to something new, LOL.
SterlingRoses Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks to this thread I ordered some LR cartos from ENS and I just wanted to add my OMGosh!!! Flavors that I have tried that were meh tasting are MUCH better now!!! Thank You for this thread and leading me to my new found love
DAYVAPE Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I will say this though... they will definately go thru the juice alot faster. I've also found myself switching them out more often than standard cartos because they tend to get a slight burnt taste after a while. I'm assuming this is only because of the resistance allowing the coil to get hotter, etc. But overall... they are great on 3.7v devices! Just make sure you keep em wet at all times!!

ThaHodgehound Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I have never been a fan of cartos until someone told me about the ones at eastmall.com and how cheap they were! Lr's were a buck a piece and regs were 80 cents a pop. So I said WTH and got 25 of each! 63 bucks or so shipped! They are amazing! Silver threads and NO funky taste or smell from them that turned me off to cartos in the first place. I have 2 LR's that I have been using for over 2 weeks now and still work great! I just tossed one of the regular ones I had been using on Jollys Tekk mod (5+ volts)since I got it.....over two weeks on that one too! I have not even used an atomizer of any sort since I bought these! They are really awesome!
michealprater Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I checked out eastmall.NET, but did not find any LR 510 cartos.

I like both LR's and regular cartos... but for different reasons really... they both perform differently that's for sure. I just know I've finally found what I LOVE... and what WORKS for me ALL THE TIME!! Edited October 21, 2010 by DAYVAPE
michealprater Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 sweet, I found them. what a deal! http://eastmall.net//Products/ShowProduct.aspx?pid=100002978
FTJoe Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I bought a bunch - rolling the dice to make up for the $17 shipping
DAYVAPE Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Wonder what the odds are of customs messin' with it??
FTJoe Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 LOL - the jinx is on!!! I thought they were mostly interested in fluids...
DAYVAPE Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I hope ... cuz I ordered just a few myself! LOL. No fluids or anything else... just cartos.
