I've enjoyed the few video reviews on this great little product, and thought I'd add a very quick testimonial and a tip.
- This carto really does last a looong old time. I'm fairly heavy on the vaping and the juice lasted almost two days.
- LOADS of vapour, and a really great throat hit, if that's what you like. Which I do.
- I found the hit pretty strong, so I think I needed to vape less than I do with my regular Tornado atty.
- The flavour seems different, even with ordinary tobacco flavour at 18mg... which is what it's filled with when you receive it. It's not unpleasant, and reminds me of toasted sesame seeds. I'd emphasise the 'toasted' flavour as opposed to the acrid 'burnt' taste you get when sucking on a dry cart.
- It makes a fair amount of noise as you're vaping, as if it's getting really hot, but the barrel of the carto itself doesn't get unduly overheated, so all good.
- The flattened mouthpiece is good too. I prefer that type to the round type.
- Much as I liked the flavour. I'm fonder of the normal flavour I get from my regular tornado atty, and from my Mini. So I wondered if I could "freshen" it up a bit, by adding some menthol flavour. I don't have menthol, but I do have choc mint, and as I'm not a fan of too much mintiness, I mixed a little 18mg choc mint, with 11mg regular tobacco flavour. Purely arbitrary, the last dregs I had from two different bottles of juice.
- GREAT TIP FOR FILLING. I saw a video on how to fill a regular 510 cartomiser with just a dropper from the e-liquid bottle on YouTube. I'd provide the link but I'm darned if I can find it!
- Anyway, you take the empty carto, and hold it upright .. but with the battery end uppermost.
- Then take the loaded dropper and press gently it against the larger hole in the battery end.
- By squeezing the juice in very slowly and gently, you can successfully fill the carto this way, without the need for a syringe at all.
- Mine took a lot of juice. I loaded the dropper (A longer dropper from the 10ml bottles of red label, about half full) up three times before the juice started dripping from the mouth end. In hindsight, I put in too much, it leaked from the mouthpiece end a fair bit and I got messy, I'll stick to two dropper fulls next time.
- I did this yesterday, and I'm still vaping away at the same refill. That toasted flavour has gone now, I think due to that bit of mint in there.
- It's a really easy method, and I hope this is useful to folks
- One last thing I thought worth a mention, when the carto is fullest, i.e when I got it new AND when I refilled it, the juice leaks out of the battery end a bit, and I had to wipe both Carto and battery a few times, where they screw together. No real biggie though/ Generally delighted with it. I hope the atomiser bit in the carto lasts a good while, If it does, I'll switch to cartomisers and never go back! So much cheaper.
