I just use one of the clear plastic covers that come on the carts.

hey Pete: Do these cartomizers last long? I'm just trying to figure out how much I should pack in it. Sure would suck to have it fail with a bunch of oil in it.

Do you fill the cartomizer, smoke the oil and then dispose or do you use a single cartomizer for more than a full fill?


TThanks

Like lightbulbs, mileage differs (depends on the brand of the cart). I pack mine 0.3 at a time since theyre relatively easy to load.
You can always reclaim oil from a cart by flipping it and heating the side with a torch but gently or the reclaim will taste cooked.

I put 2-3 dabs (the size of the dabs use on my ti nail, i don't have a scale to weigh them) worth into a cart at a time. It gives me dozens of hits. I puff it down, then refill.
The carts last a while until the oil residue builds up at the bottom and they start to taste like burnt oil. I get at least a week of refilling it multiple times a day. The one i have on my pen now has been there at least 10 days and still tastes fresh.

Cyber Echo and Pete: thanks!

Cyber: Is there a brand of cartomizers that in your experience are more robust than others?

I picked up one of the Glass Globe attachments. It hits pretty much like ti nail and dome. I've never gotten hits this big from my pen before. It's very effective. My only dislikes so far are that it has an exposed coil set up very much like the g pen, and it eats up oil much much quicker than a regular cart.

It screws into the battery just like any other cart/atomizer/tank. The glass part slides off. You just put a dab on the nail, put the globe back on and hit it. Works pretty well.

i bought one of these exact tips for my ego twist... and i thought the plastic tastes like dookie and never used it again

The nails on these ones are ceramic. I thought it was plastic when i opened the package, but it's definitely not. I would have returned them had they been plastic.

azez - anything that's threaded for 510. there's probably an adapter for other threads too.

I really like that one too. I've almost quit smoking and vaping buds since I got it. I'm thinking of turning most of my last harvest to wax / oil now.

I had a little trouble cleaning the heating element after the first few days. It gets more harsh when you let it get too dirty. Last weekend I tried removing the heating element and soaking it in 99% iso until it was clean. Now it's as good as new. :) Hopefully it will always be that easy to clean.

Same here! I'm gonna dedicate at least half of next harvest to blast with butane.
Do the coil and wick pop out or did you soak the whole nail in iso? Thanks for the tips m314!

I just unscrew the little nail piece and soak it in 99% iso until it's clean. It has been working so far. I tried using a pipe cleaner on my first attempt, but I ended up damaging the coil. Good thing the replacements are cheap.

This one is nice too. This one has a bowl with a screen over the heating element. I haven't decided which one I like better.

Ok cool. Yeah, those coils are fragile. Here's the ceramic nails for a few bucks cheaper (plus free shipping) from http://www.stagvapor.com/#!attachments/c1yc2

That Halo Ti nail you posted looks like something i would really like to try. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link. How many nails have you gone through so far? I messed up my first one, but the others I've been using are still going strong. I wonder what the life expectancy is for these things.

Wow, i dont think i ever get that good of a return. I don't weigh, but i pack a 12" tube and use 2 cans. Get maybe 2 grams? back. I must be doing something wrong.

I just got the globe set up on Monday. I'm still using the same nail. I've used about a gram on it. No idea on how long they last. Seems like they'll hold up unless you mess with the coil/wick.
