510-T Atomizer with 510 Carts?

[CrowingOne]

Hey everyone. I've been messing about with vaping for about a year, but I never really got that into it until my girlfriend recently used them to quit smoking (finally!).

Now that at least one person in the house is vaping regularly, we went ahead and placed an order for some new atomizers and other goodies which arrived here this morning. I have a question I've been searching around for an answer to all day both here and with the mystical google-fu.

My only concern is that we bought 510-T atomizers instead of the standard 510s. I immediately noticed how different the coil-stuffs looked. We went ahead and very carefully tried using the 510-T atomizers with a filled standard cart, and it seemed to work okay (and, perhaps, even better). But the important question: is there any danger/warning for using the tank atomizers with the filled carts? After a few drags we saw no issues (no burning, no visible/taste-able warning flags).

We're going to place an order for the correct tank carts after the new year, but in the meantime can we use the atomizers while we wait, or is there a danger/health/whatever risk?

Thanks all in advance, and happy New Year!

You can always just direct drip.

Actually the LR 510-T atty is one of my favorite dripping atties (wick plate removed)

Looks like this inside with the plate removed.

You drip the juice directly on the coil.

But is there any risk to using such a setup (tank atomizer with standard carts)? We're happy with the result, we just don't want to cause any safety/breakage issues.

A cartridge will not wick properly on a tank atomizer. Get a drip tip to use with them.

Cartridges are about the worse way to vape anyway, so get rid of them.
Your other choice is to use cartomizers.

Im lost are you talking cartridges with polly in side? If so what ever works works. But IMO this is not such a good set up thats why Cartomizers were introduced to give a better product over those. Direct Dripping is much less hassle over constantly refilling the cartridges.
They are one of those things that we get as a starter and quickly see that they do work but there are much better products available.
But to answer your question if the atty is getting juice it will produce vapor It does not know you are using a cartage instead of a tank.

Awesome, thanks Buzzzlove and tj for answering!

This is temporary and part of a "new beginning" for us and vaping. It just needs to last long enough for a new order to come through with more efficient/correct parts.

We're going to try to Cartomizers and maybe even dripping too, but as they stand we're happy with the atomizer+cart setup for the time being.

The only big deal using the tank atomizers with the standard stuffed carts is that you need to refresh the juice a bit more to keep it on top. Fine with us for a few days. We actually found that the tank atomizers produced better hits/vapor/taste than the standard version.

Thanks everyone!

I'm a fan of tank & atty systems, unlike most people. I've never tried a tank atomizer with a cartridge before, but if it works then keep on going. You should definitely give the proper tanks a try. I find they taste much better than polyfill. I don't use the 510's though, but since the 901 tanks can be used with 510-T attys, I'm not sure there's much of a difference in taste.

Cartomizers are good to have. I always have at least one filled as a backup. But I find the taste of a tank to be superior and the throat hit is much more smooth. Of course, everyone has their own preferences.

Good luck!

I would suggest lots of research here and youtube are a great place The Guide To Vaping Electronic Cigarettes and eLiquid
The Vape Book
Heres some more great informational sights. I would compare the system you are using to rubbing sticks to a lighter to build a fire. To a Cartomizer and tank system.

This is our place (cart and addy both) and we're doing what works best for us. I'm sure we're good going forward, and atty+cart is how we're good for now. Drip/Carto/whatever is down the line.

I really appreciate it all! Thanks for everything!
