Am I going backwards!?

[chykensa]

Having travelled the well-trodden route of eGo batteries and clearos, then a Mini Nova, then Novas, alongside a Vamo now, I find myself strangely attracted to the simple pleasures of the cartomiser.
I use a DCT for my own VC mix, and love the airy vape which is full of flavour. I also have an XL Cartomiser (Boge) which I am using for the same mix at home.
WIth payday approaching, I am considering what to buy next, and I have to admit to thinking about a box of XL Cartos, along with a box of pre-punched ones for the DCT.
Am I doing things the wrong way around, or have others discovered the humble cartomiser after trying all the newest gear?

I'm still a fan of Cartos! I do use other things too but keep coming back to carto tanks! This ones my favourite at the moment with a lr punched boge in it

Nowt wrong with carto tanks ... I always have one on the go, despite the rebuildable family

Whatever works for you!

I'm a firm believer in the 'If it works for you then it's right'

One of the joys of vaping is experimenting and trying out new set-ups, but I bet the majority of folks here have a set up they keep going back to.

I've just experienced a Busardo style epiphany with a Natural/RSST set-up, but that has not stopped me picking up my Jacvapour cigalike for a quick hassle free vape.

Going backwards would be reaching for an analog

So vape on Andy

Totally agree Andy. I was thinking the same last week.
I have minty flavours in the carts and some tobacco with mint in a double coil clearo and that's it for the last month.
I find that you need a high PG juice in the carts or they don't work as well. I have heaps of juice in the draw 40-60 and 50-50.
Sometimes the simple things are best. So the OH says. Lol.
I mix menthal or polo mint in seconds and am out the door with a spare cart in me pocket. Simple.

Mind you, I'd prefer to pull all my nose hairs out with tweezers, than going back to cartos

I'm even more backwards as I still prefer using a cartomiser without a DCT. I find using them in tanks stops them heating up enough for me.

[Perpetua]

I've normally got a DCT set up on the go Andy, it makes a pleasant change vape wise from the Nova, Evod or a rebuildable. It's not a backwards step to use carto's, rather nice to have all the options we do now.

When all else fails I head back to the humble carto for ease. I had a chest infection recently and they were the only delivery system that I could get any flavour from. I have a drawer of them for when I have a melt down with rebuildables and Novas. The only problem I have with them is having to top them off frequently.

I know cartos can be a bit of a faff to fill and get the hang of, but I feel a bit sorry for the newbies that don't want to try them as the clearos are so much less faff

Clearos are less faff sometimes, but can be a bit hit and miss, cartos generally just work

I find just that - my clearos either leak, don't fit into the Vamo with enough airspace to function properly, or the atty heads in my Nova isn't the correct ohm rating for a good flavour. At least with a carto, provided it has been filled and allowed to rest correctly, does just work.
I'm glad I'm not alone in singing their praises, although I quite understand how some folk find them a faff.
Changing the orientation of this thread slightly, where is the best place to buy them in bulk (like boxes of 25 or so)? I pay about £7 for 5 at the moment, but I'm sure some cattle-rustlers on here will know where I can get them cheaper than that! Don't mind waiting for a couple of weeks if they arrive from the other side of the world either!

I bought 10 of the above from Vaporbreak. Dave

I wouldn't go quite as far as that
I don't use them much now, but I got through shed loads when I started. Like everyone says - they just work and they are not bad. The real cure for cartos is to get a Spheroid

[Kbee]

I got some cartomisers out of the cupboard the other day - was fed up with leaks, bubbles, gurgling etc with my clearos (though have had a couple of Evods for a few days and, fingers crossed, they're performing well so far)

I like the draw from a carto but find the flavour is not quite as 'pure' as from a clearo. A slight faff to fill, but once you have they just work.
