Cartomizer suggestions?

Nothin' like a leg full of e-juice to start your morning!

Within about 15 min. of waking up and taking the dog out, my less than two week old 2.5 ml Vulcan Clearomizer decided to bust open and leak e-juice all over my pocket. It wasn't just the chisel tip came off, but the actual tube got disconnected from the base. Tried putting her back together and it just leaked. (Not saying ANYTHING against Vulcan Vape, probably not a good idea to keep a clearomizer like that in a pocket, so totally my fault.)

The Vulcan Clearomizer, however, was the first one I've had that worked well with VG-based juices. (My 510 tanks just don't seem to feed the thicker stuff real well, not surprising.) So, I'm looking to replace it with something that works with thicker juices, but is a little bit sturdier.

Anyone have any good leads that'd work on an eGo? I like the idea of a clear one, just because between that and my 510 tanks, I'm used to being able to see how much juice I have left. Thought about their SmokTech dual-coil carto, but there's no way I need 6 ml of liquid at a time -- I don't have a long enough flavor attention span for that, lol. I'm also not 100 percent sold on a cartomizer; if there's something that works with an atty that is gonna be better for me, I'm willing to give it a go.

Thoughts? What's worked best for you?

I don't think those are the original Clearo's. I've had 1 loose there also. There good but there VERY Soft sides. They like to be baby'd. I don't use 100% VG, but use 50/50 liquids. Go on the forum under the Atty/Clearomizer section and read some of the review's there . If you don't find what you need to know then ask your own question. I don't know if the Visions will handle Pure VG. I'll be using Visions from now on. They are AWSOME. Going to gat 2 more this afternoon to replace the 2 I BLEW out trying to use 6v, lol

Haha well THAT would have been a good and obvious first step, lol. (I"m blaming the two-month-old, he's warped my brain.)

I had 70/30 VG/PG liquid in it, and it worked wonderfully. Really about perfect. Maybe I need to order another and just be nicer to them, lol.

The Stardusts handle heavy VG fluid quite well, as long as you remember to keep the wick wet. I have used 100% VG in them with no problems. All the other clearos I have tried that with seem to have a problem keeping up. If I wasn't chain-vaping they did ok, but after a few draws I had to sit them down. Good luck in your quest!

Well I'll be sticking with the Vision from now on. I found my flavor, and I got my tank, now to build me a Box mod and I'll be a happy vaper, lol

Oh no! not good, though a week or two is a pretty good run. If you like them and treat them gently you might not need to switch at all.

I like the clear dual coils 1ml size, but i use 100% PG juice, so don't know how well they wick with VG juices.

The other thing i do is put at least 3-4 more holes in the tank cartos - the hole that is in them isn't big enough even for good wicking with PG juices.

+1 on extra holes in the tank cartos. With extra holes vg wicks as well.

@CES: I was alternating it with an atty/tank, so I was hoping for it to last a bit longer, and it was still vaping like a dream. But, I just need to be kinder, methinks.

Thanks for the advice! To be clear (Yeah, I'm a noob.) are these the kind of cartos you were talking about poking? (510 Tank Atomizer Cartridges, 10 Pack) or the clearomizers?

 

[Foxman]

Tham if your going with tanks, I THINK you'll have to go with the XL (extra long) carts. Vulcan sells tanks and XL carts that are ready to go. I could meet you in leeds one day and show you what I got. All my stuff iss from Vulcan.

 

[CES]

I was talking about poking more holes in the smoketech metal cartos that go in the tanks, 5-pack - 510 Tank Core Cartomizers - $7.75 : deejStuff eLiquid, The Apocalypse can wait... . i don't know anything about the cartos you linked to.

...and being gentle with the clearos. the plastic coming off is a known issue with all clearos of this type - they used to be worse.

 

[SammyT]

What you have linked to is a tank cartridge, not a cartomizer. Those are for the ego t. What we are talking about, vulcan also sells and it is a cartomizer tank, or DCT (dual coil tank) run with a smok tech dual coil cartomizer. Most people are phasing out of the ego t, and on to other things.
also if you have a dremel, you can use the cut off wheel to put one nice size hole in them, no need for a carto punch, or fighting with a trim nail

 

[tham0402]

Totally gonna blame the baby for me being a noob again -- got my tanks, tank cartridges and cartomizers mixed up. My initial setup was a 510-T so I've got a bunch of tank cartridges, and I had a cartomizer, which is what got jacked up. Haven't had a proper tank and didn't really understand how they worked, so yeah. Durr. Glad you helpful people are around

 

[SammyT]

no, what got jacked up was a ce2 I think... You'll get it eventually. We are always here to help.
