510 Cartomisers

[PTJD]

Well, I ordered a few packs and for some reason not impressed. Just did not get the smoke I wanted.

Thats odd most people seem to think they are getting better vapor production and flavor from them.After seeing how they are constructed I can see how they could possibly put out more vapor as the element is in the middle of the poly fill and not just trying to wick liquid from the end of the polyfill.Flavor would be subject to a lot of variables.I just ordered one box so I could see for myself ,I am still not able to see how they could be cost effective unless you are one of the folks who throws away atties at the drop of a hat.

I don't understand it either, from what I have seen anyway. I await further feedback Mike.

For Jim it is no so much the atty that goes bad but the filling that becomes stale. Well at least that is my understanding, and it makes sense.

I think part of my problem is I'm used to my whistle tips and the carts I got were round tipped. I still have them so may give it another try.
I guess I can pop the end cap off and insert a whistle tip.

I got mine today.They put out a fair amount of vapor I would say not much different than a 510 or 901.I am having trouble getting liquid in mt mouth as there is no baffle and I might be overfilling.I got the ones with the rubber plugs from ElectroNicStix.A whittled down 901 tip will fit nicely and helps with the liquid.They work good enough in my opinion the only reason I would not switch to them is not being able to change the filler.I think someone has had success cleaning the filler and reusing the carto's a while longer ,I think they used Everclear or Vodka.

I tried on my Safe Cig, and failed pulling the filling out screwed up the atty. The coil is not as solid as with the coil of the 510.

I have used the hot water alcohol enema. It cleaned the cart but it takes for ever to dry, so I gave up on that idea. I suppose I can use the oven on a low setting, too much trouble for me. Having said that, recycling your spent cartos, providing you didn't run 'em dry, is stretching your dollar IMHO. But not for an initial outlay...

They are for sure not for everybody.

Yep, I agree!

They're ok, not much different than 808's.

So far I have tried the SLB (SAILEBAO) TYPE WITH THE BRASS CONNECTOR and the BOGE 510 WITH THE ALUMINUM/SILVER CONNECTOR and I thought I would like the brass one but they were hard to fill (liquid didn't want to soak in) and didn't draw well or produce much vapor.The Boge ones with the aluminum threads were by far the best I got two weeks of use from each one don't know about the SLB ones as I just started them today.I don't think I will changhe from 901's but if were to recomend one it would be the Boge.
