What's a cartomizer?

Simply put, it's one combined unit for both the cartridge and the atomizer. The big difference between a cartomizer and an atomizer is that an atomizer has the heating element on one end and the eLiquid on the other end (in a cartridge). So an atomizer relies on "wicking action", similar to an oil candle, to get the eLiquid to the heating element.

A cartomizer is constructed much differently. The heating element goes down the center of the cartomizer, from one end to the other, and the filler/eLiquid is contained in a cylinder all the way around the heating element. The entire center of the cartomizer heats and because the eliquid is all around and close to the heating element, you don't have to "top off", it's able to use all of the liquid.

Our cartomizers are easily refillable, just pop the rubber top off with the end of a paper clip, and put about 25-30 drops of your favorite flavor eLiquid right in!

Cartomizer Pros:

• It can hold more eliquid. A cartomizer holds 25-30 drops of eLiquid in a single refill. That's the equivalent of about one pack of traditional cigarettes.
• They're faster and easier to fill. We've tested dropping 30 drops right in a cartomizer all at once, waited for it to soak in and starting vaping right away! You can fill cartomizers fast and a refill lasts a long time.
• It's much more efficient and the vape is better. As mentioned above, the heating element goes from end to end and the eLiquid is all around the heating element. So, the eLiquid is held close to the heating element all the time making heating more efficient with no need for frequent "top offs."
• It costs less. We're selling cartomizers for half the cost of atomizers, with a 5 pack of cartomizers available for just $15.99 at http://www.americaneliquidstore.com/products/Joye-510-Cartomizer-%252d-5-pack.html.

Cartomizer Cons:

• It's not easy to change flavors or drip. Unlike an atomizer, you can't pull out and replace the filler, so if you like to change flavors frequently you'll need a few cartomizers - one for each of your favorite flavors. Also because you can't pull out the filler, you can't drip. However, because cartomizers are so inexpensive and hold so much eLiquid, having a few extra around isn't a major problem.
• Cartomizers are a fraction of an inch shorter than an atomizer/cartridge. With the eGo batteries, that's just a bit short to accomodate the tapered cone and takes a little getting used to - but we think it's well worth the effort.

Finally, we'd like to point out what we feel is the BEST thing about cartomizers... If you pair a cartomizer with an eGo eCig or eGo Battery, you have a solution where you can confidently carry just one ecig and a single filled cartomizer. Both the battery and the cartomizer will last all day, or even several days! If you were a two or three pack-a-day smoker, this is truly convenient.
