| I have finally found the answer for me. I had been having a tough time finding an e cig I liked that wasn't outrageously expensive to use ie; cartridges etc., gave me good TH and plenty of vapor. I have been using the Tornado from Totally Wicked and I am really happy with it. Combined with 36mg nicotine I get a great TH, it gives bunches of vapor, the batteries last me all day(sometimes more), but I am not a huge user. The e cig is well made and with the mega carts I only have to refill a couple of times a day instead of every few hours.
I am real happy with it(in case you couldn't tell  ) and I have to say the customer service there has been terrific. |

TW has them but they are not cheap and you have to purchase 10 carts at one time for $12.99. I'm also using the mega atty and carts on the Tornado. Like most 510 carts they don't wick fully, but are not doing too badly. I'll miss using cartomizers but I can get use to using the 510 megas.
Ok before someone tells me I can use cartomizers on the Tornado... no I can't  I've developed a reaction to something in the filler in the cartomizers. If it gets too hot my lips, tongue and throat break out with blisters. I've been trying to figure this out for 6 weeks and it's not the juice and only happens when I chain vape and get the cartos too hot. It's just gotten to be too much of a problem, the more it happens the worse it gets so as of last Friday I've gone back to attys and carts. Same juice as before and haven't had a problem since I stopped using the cartomizers. Hopefully they will come out with a mega 901 next as I like the flavor on the 901 better than the 510. |

If I use products with glycerin in them on my face I break out and guess what? My face is all broken out thanks to all this drippy juice (of any sort) and my grubby juicy hands. Lovely...NOT!

| Those 510 megas will do the same thing WW, send them to me. LOL ( I tell my family choc chip cookies are hazmat give em to me I'll dispose of them properly)
Have you tried the green cig cartos that le cig sells? If you change your mind I can drop you a 510>901 connector I'll even drill a vent hole for the cartos. If you're committed PM me and we can work a deal on your cartos.
I'm a really light vaper so I haven't had problems with any vaping stuff and I get by pretty cheap (cause I am) cause I cut all of my juices. Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the cartos, wear your scars as a badge of honor. bikes |

I never had to pay such close attention to my hands not having any oils on them and haven't been and these particular 510 batteries seem to have bigger holes and leak out more than others...it's a vicious cycle but I'll get a grip on it eventually.

| It's not the juice, I've try both plain VG and plain PG and combinations of both with no problem. Tried juice from 6 different vendors with no problems. Tried all sorts of nic strengths with no problem. Pretty much ruled out the juice as the problem. Plus I'm using the same juice I was using the cartomizers, but using it with attys and carts with no problem.
My reaction was so bad on Friday that I had to go to the Dr. I've been documenting all my use for 6 weeks and the exact conditions when I have a breakout and it's always on a carto that's been used for a day or so. I showed the Dr my data and a couple opened up cartos and he thinks that when the filler and or paper around it heats to a point it is putting out something that my body just doesn't like. I chain vape heavily and all the used cartos I opened up were brown and some slightly burnt. I'm just too hard on them I guess. I'm not having any problems with the attys and regular cart filler though.
I've never had an allergic reaction to anything in my life except for poison ivy/oak so this is very unusual for me. |

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the cartos, wear your scars as a badge of honor. bikes | I used the GreenCig carts first before the KR808 ones and they were just too much trouble to refill for me. I'm lazy LOL. I have a few different 510 attys, a couple 901s, and quite a few different battery options now. I still have my Joye batteries, but won't use them, have 3 different KR808 batteries, the Bartleby, the Tornado and bought a Laser Mod today, plus I have lots of adapters. So I'm set that way, though I very much appreciate the offer for help.
As for the cartos I still have. I'm going to get them together this weekend to see exactly what I do have. I have probably a dozen, different flavors from Vapor4Life plus 9 blanks from CH that have never been used. I'll let you know once I see what I have and we can work something out. |

| WitchWay, let me know. I haven't had any carto trouble and all of the cartos I filled are still working well. If you decide to get rid of your 808 cartos and my latest China order I think I'd be set til sometime in 2012.(step away from paypal) bikes |

I must say I'm happy with them, but I still find I have to fill the cart every couple vape sessions (about once an hour or so) because I start to get that burning taste. |

Do those batteries last as long as the ones that come with the Tornado? If so i will check the price out to see if they are less.

Thanks | Not sure if they last as long as the Tornado, as I've never used that bad boy, but I have three that are in rotation, so I get decent (combined) life. I'd say I recharge them all about twice a day. The key is the mega atty and mega carts. They keep the vapor rolling for about an hour or so, which is pretty nice.
I only vape occasionally at my desk while working. Most of the time i try to take a "smoke" break and head downstairs to vape, so I'd say my vaping is light to moderate. However, at night, while trolling this forum and others, I vape pretty consistently. Having three batteries in rotation always keeps a fresh one in my hands. I use a different flavor in each too, so it mixes it up. Currently I'm vaping Kona Coffee Mint (high), Marl USA (high), and chocolate dipped strawberries (high) that I picked up from strictlyejuice.com. I have to say the kona coffee mint is my fave right now. |
