Been meaning to ask, do the Eastmall 901LR's come with a cart? And if so, do they work ok with a cart, or are they best used with a drip tip?
I only ask, as I've got a couple of Cisco LR901's, and they're unusable with carts, due to them running so hot and can't wick properly.
They work fine with a drip tip, but I like to use carts with blue foam where possible.

My EM LR901s are working fine with blue foam in a cart. However, they didn't come with carts. scylla

The LR901s that I bought from Perpie came with carts and very nice they are too. I think they are EM ones but Perpie could confirm. Lynda

The last batch of EM's LR901's did indeed come with carts as Lynda says Buck, although an order I did before re-discovering the forum, didn't. I'm thinking it could vary depending on whom EM get their stocks from . . . although with David having his own factory now, I'd imagine it will be cost efficient and ensure better quality control for him to produce as much as possible 'in house' . . . so that could change on our next order. Although never fear, being a compulsive hoarder I've some 901 tips that I can happily include in anyone's parcels if they don't.

Perpy, that's odd, the LR901's I got from the last EM order you did, didn't come with carts.

I remember now Chris, you saying that . . . there were two lots of LR901's on our last order . . . one lot came in a largish white box the others in a smaller white box . . . just been and checked my boxes.
The large box doesn't have tips and the smaller box does, not sure how that works quite.

Lol, I'm not sure how it works either - you would think it would be the other way round

If you want to use carts, my experience is to use 1.7ohm or greater LR atties, I've found 1.5ohm ones use juice faster than they can wick

Thanks for the info folks, being relatively new to the 901 it's always good to be clued up. And thanks Perpy, I'd like to take you up on your kind cart offer should the LR's arrive without any.

Cheers, i'll add some carts to my order.
i have another question on the LR901s.
The one i'm using now is a nightmare (Cisco 901LR)
It leaks terribly, through the hole at the side.
Does anyone's Eastmall's leak?
