best cartomizers for standard 510

[ropetrick]

I've been searching the forums for a day, and I'm still unclear on what will suit me best, so let me tell you what I'm looking for and maybe someone can help.

I'm looking for the best experience on standard 3.7v 510 batteries. Prefer soft cap.

I have tried two cartomizers: Boge and smok Tech 3.2 ohm cartos, both from MadVapes, both soft caps. The Boge is very airy. The smok Tech is better, but tends to clog easily. Neither provides much in the way of throat hit on a battery, but both are fine on a passthrough. The smok Tech are almost impossible to clean for some reason, but that's not a dealbreaker given how cheap they are.

So, to summarize, I'm looking for better TH without endangering my batteries with over-low resistance. I'd like decent draw but not that sucking-on-a-train-tunnel feeling. Ease of refilling is important to me, and ideally I'd like to be able to clean them a few times before discarding. In a perfect world, they'd be portable to my passthroughs as well, but this is not a requirement.

Any ideas?

You might want to check out Welcome to IkenVape for their superior cartomizers. You might want to try the premium cartomizers, I belive they come in at around 3.2 ohms and should fit your vaping needs. If you are using these on a standart e-cig battery the resistance might be a bit high for you.

also check out http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ikenvape/141429-comparative-ikenvape-carto-review.html for some more information on their cartomizers. Best of luck!

Try Boge LR cartos. These are at 1.5 ohms and provide good TH and flavor. Refilling is also easier. Have been using them for a month. This is bcos LR cartos at best with 3.7V devices such as Riva and Joy ego. I have tried standard cartos as well but has to drag my lungs out to get decent TH.

I believe what you are experiencing is the difference in voltage between your 3.7v battery and the 5v passthrough.
3.7v x 3.2 ohms = 4.3 watts
5v x 3.2 ohms = 7.8 watts

To duplicate your 5v passthrough experience using your 3.7v battery you need some 2.0 ohm cartomizers but these are not recommended for standard 510 batteries.
3.7v x 2.0 ohms = 7.8 watts

I personally don't care for cartomizers but like to be around 5.5 watts so I don't risk burning my juice and use 2.5 ohms.
3.7v x 2.5 ohms = 5.5 watts

Hope this helps....

Thanks, CritterBuddy! So what is the ohm rating on a standard 510 atomizer?

Ikenvape looks great, but everything is out of stock.

Anyone know where one might find a 2.5ish ohm carto? I'm just about sick of leaky carts, and believe me I've tried every piece of advice I can find to stop it. Maybe it's finally time to move up to a new PV, though I'm trying not to be one of those people because I'll get obsessive and go too far. In every other respect, 510s work fine for me.

Ikenvape is usually my go-to place but they go out of stock quick because their stuff is too good.

Try Welcome to MadVapes LLC they have a good assortment of cartomizers, I think even the boge 2ohms. Might want to try some of their juice too it's killer ;]

Ropetrick,

Here you go! IkenVape's Premium Platinum 510 cartos. 2.5Ω.

 

[CritterBuddy]

Been thinking of trying these myself. At least they are in stock.

IKV 510 Cartomizer Gold V2 Drip-Style

 

[ropetrick]

Don't know how I missed those drip-style cartos. I'll give them a try.

Thanks, guys. You are awesome as always.

I've been using 2.6-2.8 ohm clearomizers, bought 'em from Mad Vapes, and love 'em!

Another option for more throat hit is to raise the PG ratio in your juice. More PG gives more TH. More VG gives more smoke.

I am new to vaping, and keep seeing mentions of reusable cartomizers for 510s. I have a Riva 510, 3.7V and would like to find some reusable cartos that hold a lot of liquid with a good TH. Are the ones mentioned above reusable?

Where can I get them at a good price. Please be specific re the manufacturer and model/ name, etc. Thanks so much!
