The Mega Tornado Cartomizer is my latest foray into the Mega line and after my experience with the Mega Tornado Atomisers I wasn’t to hopeful, although the other cartomizers I’ve tried had been better than their atomiser and cartridge counterparts, and these cartomizers were no different, a great improvement.
They do still have a leaking problem but no where near as bad as the atomizer. I purchased them from Totally Wicked e-Liquid. Like their 510 cartomizers they are only available pre-filled. This time the only option is tobacco flavour at 18mg strength, but you do get a choice of black and white.
On opening the package I found 2 Mega Tornado Cartomizers in clear plastic bags, one of which had already leaked quite a bit of brown liquid into its bag, which didn’t fill me with confidence. As it had already leaked after giving it a good cleaning with a tissue I stood it upright on a tissue expecting to see a flood of liquid. After an hour however this didn’t happen. A small amount did leak out but only enough to leave a small ring on the tissue.
In case you are wondering, the size of the mega tornado cartomizer is the same width as the tornado and slightly longer than an assembled atomiser and cartridge. Part of the length however is the outer sleeve which doubles as the cone you would normally use. Once attached to the battery the whole unit is about the same length as the standard tornado with atomiser and cartridge.

So I screwed it on to a standard manual battery I took a few drags, and was greeted with plumes of vapour and a strong throat hit that had me coughing, mainly because I don’t normally vape anything over 12mg in strength and the 18mg that came pre-filled was a little to strong for me, which is also why it took me the best part of 2 days to vape it out.
One of the first things I noticed was that the Mega Tornado Cartomizer was a lot quieter than the mega atomizer and cartridge. It still crackled and fizzed but it didn’t have the same hiss that the cartridge produced as air was drawn through it.
I could also put the Tornado down on end and make a coffee without coming back to a stream of liquid running down the battery. There was slight leakage over time so still wouldn’t chance using them with automatic batteries, but the leakage was more akin to that produced by direct dripping.
Once I managed to empty the Mega Tornado Cartomizer I had to refill it, so headed over to youtube and watched a few videos on the subject. As with the atomiser it was recommended to stick to about 1.5ml of liquid.
The recommended method seemed to be to remove the cover in the mouthpiece followed by the inner liquid trap and then pierce the centre filling hole and fill with a syringe. I tried this but no matter how slowly I tried to fill the cartomizer liquid would simply flow straight out the hole in the battery end.
I then saw another method using a 5ml dropper bottle to force liquid in directly from the battery end, this time liquid dripped from the mouth piece. I then resorted to simple dripping a drip at a time on the hole in the battery end, after 10 or so drops once again liquid started dripping out the mouth piece.
After a while I figured my VG based liquids were to thick to soak straight into the wading and it was just running straight through instead of soaking in. So I hit on the idea of using a glass dropper to squeeze around 7 or 8 drops worth of liquid into the hole in the battery end and then lay the Mega Tornado Cartomizer on its side for a minute or so, and then repeat another 3 times. This method seemed to work allowing the liquid time to soak in.
Once refilled the cartomizer worked as expected the only problem was that the vanilla I used to fill the cartomizer was tainted by the residual flavour of the pre-filled tobacco, in the second cartomizer I used a stronger flavour in the form of Parma Violet which totally masked the tobacco flavour and produced plenty of vapour and the expected amount of throat hit.
Whilst a whole lot better than the Mega Atomisers I still probably wouldn’t use these on a regular basis unless they are sold unfilled. Whilst I don’t find the prefilled tobacco flavour unpleasant, I wouldn’t buy it out of choice and definitely not at 18mg strength, so trying to vape it out is a bit of a chore. Also as you can only really refill with 1.5ml of liquid and not the 2.5ml as advertised. While the whistle tip style is comfortable in the mouth I personally prefer to use the standard 510 cartomizer, which is also quicker to empty, holds around 1ml of e-liquid and doesn’t leak.

Following on with my investigation of the Mega Tornado accessories I purchased a couple of Mega Tornado Atomisers and a box of unfilled cartridges from Totally Wicked e-Liquid. After my good experiences of the Mega Automatic Battery I was looking forward to trying the Mega Atomiser, however my experience wasn’t so good with these.
On arrival as you would expect I was eager to try them out so I immediately unpacked an atomiser tucked a tissue into it and blew out any primer fluid. I then unpacked a blank cartridge and filled it with 40 drops of liquid. They are listed as being able to hold 2.5ml of liquid and as on average 20 drops equates to about 1ml I thought it would be under filled.
I then added a couple of drops to the bridge of the atomiser and eagerly pushed the cartridge into the atomiser, screwed it onto a standard tornado battery and took a drag. After a few drags I was rewarded with a good flavour, nice throat hit and clouds of vapour.
Whilst in use the atomiser makes quite a bit of noise sizzling and crackling away, and you get a hissing noise as air is drawn through the cartridge. It’s not to bad to start with but after a while the noise began to get on my nerves.
Eventually I put the tornado down as I normally do by standing upright on the end of the battery and went and made a coffee. Came back and picked up the tornado to find a stream of liquid running down the side of the battery.
Tornado Mega Atomiser Detail
Thinking that maybe it was a faulty atomiser I tried again with the second one, this time standing it on a tissue and watched the liquid pour out the bottom after a few minutes. Not sure if I had a faulty pair of atomisers or if it was a problem with the cartridge filler I thought I’d try replacing the filler with fluval and got the same result.
At this point I decided to do a little investigation on the forums where I found it was recommended not to fill with more than 1.5ml of liquid, and not to disturb the cartridge filler and even fill with a syringe so that liquid is inserted at the base of the cartridge, then top off with a few drops so that the wool is wet when it comes into contact with the bridge of the atomiser. This helped a little but if left stood on a tissue liquid would still eventually leak out.
Other advice recommended that you hold the Tornado horizontally while in use and the cartridge be removed from the battery when not in use and stored cartridge down, which indicated to me that leaking was a common problem.
Add the leaking issue to the noise they make and they are way too much trouble for me. I like an electronic cigarette that I can just pick up and use, without having to hold in a certain way, and that I can put down to answer the door or phone or simply make a coffee without coming back to pool of liquid on my desk or table. I definitely wouldn’t use them as my main device or carry them around with me.
Mega Atomiser Comparison
I may have just been unlucky and received 2 defective atomisers but judging by some of the forum posts I don’t believe I was. Having said that though many people think they are excellent and say they haven’t had any leaking problems.
One theory I’ve thought of is that maybe heavy smokers don’t notice the problem as they are constantly using their Mega Tornados so liquid doesn’t get the chance to leak out, while I quite often put mine down. They do produce good flavour and vapour so if you like to direct drip they could be good for that. I’ve seen people asking for drip tips for them so people obviously use them in this way.
If after this write up you still want to try them all I’d say is make sure you use a manual battery, as the chances of ruining an automatic battery by leaking liquid managing to find its way inside the battery is a fairly high risk with the Mega Tornado Atomiser.

Having purchased a Tornado compact kit and found a cartomizer that works perfectly with it, I thought I’d investigate some of the Mega upgrades for it, starting with an automatic Mega Tornado battery (also available in manual form). As I have a platinum standard Tornado I thought I’d go for a white auto Mega Tornado battery, plus a white cone, for a change.
As you would expect from the name, the Mega Tornado battery is larger than the standard battery and also stores more power. Size wise it is the same diameter but 25mm longer having a length of 95mm as opposed to the 70mm of the standard Tornado battery.
Power wise the Mega Tornado battery has a rating of 1000 mAh as opposed to the 650 mAh rating of the standard battery. In real terms this means you get more usage time between charges with the website stating between 12-24 hours as opposed to 8-12 hours.
In practice I found that if I used it as my main electronic cigarette, the Mega Tornado battery would last me a full day and quite often nearly 2 days, and I’d say I’m a light to medium vaper. Some days I’ll vape more than others, it all depends what I’m doing and how busy I am. A standard Tornado battery probably last me around 8-10 hours, I’d have to charge it once a day.
Regular & Mega Tornado Comaprison
As with most auto batteries I find you have to use a different inhale technique with the Auto Mega Tornado battery than you would with manuals in order to get the most out of them. With a manual battery you simply press the button and inhale, however with the auto you need to take one or two short primer puffs before your main drag. The primer puffs just pre-heat the atomiser, and is much the same method I would use when I smoked my hand rolled cigs so it feels fairly natural to me.
The draw is relatively smooth and you don’t have to suck like crazy to get a decent amount of vapour, especially if you take the primer puffs. Manual batteries though probably produce more vapour as you have more control over how long the battery is active.
Again like other auto batteries there is a small hole in the the top where the battery connects to the atomiser, this allows air into the battery so that it activates when you inhale. This hole can also let in liquid which can damage the battery, so if you direct drip then a Manual battery would be a better choice, as the battery is sealed and it’s easy to flood the atomiser when direct dripping which can lead to liquid finding its way into an automatic.
Regular & Mega Tornado Battery Comparison
If you are a heavy smoker then these batteries will probably be great addition to your kit, and as they are also available as manual batteries you have the choice of which to buy. For me though they are a bit to big and I wouldn’t want to use them all time. They are quite good for using as cigar though. I now tend to have it attached to a cartomizer with one of my fruity flavours and use it when relaxing in the evenings, I only have to charge it once or twice a week that way.

Automatic or manual battery, which is best? That is the question.
And the answer is neither or both!
Both have their place their and uses. I personally use both types of battery but my preference is for automatic batteries as they are closer to to what I was used to when smoking tobacco cigarettes.
On some sites and forums you may come across people who say that you should only use manual batteries, as automatics are too temperamental. So far I’ve not found this to be a real problem, although some automatics will activate on their own in wind or if subjected to vibrations or knocks, Titan 510 batteries are known for this.
How you use your electronic cigarette will have a bearing on which type of battery is best for you, particularly if you like to direct drip your liquid into the atomiser. The reason for this is that manual batteries have a sealed core, whereas automatic batteries have a hole in the centre to allow for air movement to activate the battery. If you add to much liquid at a time there is a risk that you’ll flood the atomiser and excess liquid can find it’s way into the core of an automatic battery causing it to short out and die. You don’t have the problem with manual batteries as they are sealed so no liquid is able penetrate them.
Manual batteries also allow you to control how long you inhale on them as they tend not to have a cut off period as automatic batteries tend to have,aA lot of automatic batteries cut off after 5 seconds on a continuous inhale. As soon as you press the button on a manual battery the atomiser starts to heat up so you can pre heat it before taking a drag if you wish.
From what I’ve so far you may be thinking that manual batteries are a far better option, but they do have draw backs as well. One is that you can’t just drop it into your pocket as you can with an automatic, as there is a high chance that the button will press against something and be activated. As there is no cut off you can easily drain a battery this way, and if it’s attached to an atomiser you may end up with a rather warm leg.
Another thing I have found with manual batteries is that they seem to heat the atomiser more than automatics, which can lad to an alteration in flavour to your liquids and also affect the wicking capabilities of the cartridge filler.
I have a Titan 510 with both automatic and manual batteries. If I use the automatic battery I can a longer time between top ups than I can with the manual battery. I also find that flavours are better and and the vapour not as harsh on my throat. I put this down to the atomiser not getting as hot.
The two batteries are rated at the same power levels so the differences in vapour and flavour are probably down to the way I use them. With automatics I tend to take a quick primer puff and then the main drag, but I don’t seem to be able to simulate this with a manual battery and am probably holding the button to long, but if I try to cut down on the amount of time I hold the button I don’t get the same vapour production.
For me personally and the way I use my electronic cigarettes the automatic batteries work best, because I prefer something that looks and reacts like a cigarette and find direct dripping annoying. For other people though the manual batteries are better especially if you like direct dripping.
So as you can see it’s not a case of one style suits all, and I would always recommend people try out both styles of battery themselves to see what suits their needs best. A lot of starter kits around at the moment will ship with 2 manual batteries, but I’d much rather see a manual and an automatic battery included as this could solve some of the problems people have when starting out with their first electronic cigarette.
I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while now but kept getting side tracked, but I’ve finally gotten around to it. What follows is my opinion of the Tornado electronic cigarette.
I purchased a Tornado electronic cigarette from TECC / Totally Wicked about 2 months ago in the form of the Tornado Compact Kit. The reason for the compact was simply that at the time they were on sale and I wanted to try it it before splashing out on a full kit.
My personal choice in electronic cigarettes has tended to be towards products that look and act like a real tobacco cigarette, but the Tornado doesn’t quite fit into this category, being much larger and not exactly cigarette shaped, so I wasn’t sure that I’d get on with it very well.
To find out if I had overcome my initial doubts you’ll have to read the review below.
The Tornado Compact Kit Contents.
Tornado Compact Kit Box
As usual with TECC / Totally Wicked starter kits the Tornado Compact Kit comes in a quality presentation box, with a magnetic fastening front. I personally keep hold of these boxes to store spare parts in. The dimensions of the presentation box are approximately L 10cm x W 8cm x H 5.5cm.
They are available in 3 colours of Black, silver and white with the presentation box coloured to match. I bought the platinum version so my presentation box was a platinum / grey colour.
All the Compact kits come with the bare minimum of components needed to start using the electronic cigarette. This allows you to try out the device, if you are unsure about it, without having to buy a full kit which in this instance is about £20 dearer. At the time of writing the compact kit is £29.99 while the full kit is £49.99.
The Kit contents:
1 x Manual Rechargeable Battery
1 x Atomizer
1 x Battery/Atomizer cover cone
1 x USB Charger
1 x 10ml bottle of 18mg Tobacco fluid
3 x Empty refillable cartridges
Tornado Kit
Tornado Electronic Cigarette Assembly
Unlike most electronic cigarettes which have 3 parts: a battery, an atomiser and a nicotine cartridge the Tornado Electronic Cigarette has 4 parts as it also has a cone that screws onto the battery and covers the atomiser.
The cone is there to improve the look of the Tornado, giving it a nice sleek look, and also to help increase the amount of vapour produced by the tornado. If you like to direct drip liquids directly onto the atomiser, then the cone also prevents any excess liquid, that may leak out from the atomiser, from coming in contact with your hands.
Assemble is still a straight forward matter of simply srewing the battery an atomiser together, slotting the nicotine cartridge into the atomiser and then sliding the cone over the nicotine cartridge and atomiser and screwing it gently onto the battery.
You will however need to fill the nicotine cartridges first, as they are supplied empty with a bottle of tobacco flavoured e-liquid. Again this is a simple process which the video below will demonstrate, the video is for the full Tornado kit but the assembly and instructions are the same for both the full and compact kits.
Using the Tornado Electronic Cigarette
If this is to be your first foray into the world of electronic cigarettes the first thing you’ll notice is that the Tornado Electronic Cigarette is much larger than a regular tobacco cigarette, it’s also larger than a lot of other electronic cigarettes and is also heavier.
The overall dimensions of the assembled Tornado are 118mm long by 14mm in diameter.
Tornado Electronic Cigarette Size Comparison
To activate it you need to press a button on the battery, which is positioned mid way along the length of the fully assembled Tornado. When you press the button it illuminates with a white light and makes a slight clicking noise as it’s depressed and released.
Once activated there doesn’t appear to be a cut off time limit as you tend to get on automatic batteries. This means you are able to inhale on the Tornado Electronic Cigarette for as long as you wish. It also means that if you simply drop the Tornado into your pocket or bag and something depresses the button, then it will not turn off until the button is released, this could lead to the battery being drained, or if attached to the atomiser a hot leg or fried atomiser.
One good thing with the Tornado batteries is that the increased size means they have a longer lifespan between recharges than electronic cigarettes designed to like regular tobacco cigarettes. My Super Mini Electronic Cigarette for instance will only last 2 hours at most with relatively heavy use, the tornado on the other hand will last at least 6 hours of heavy use, and if used like a regular cigarette taking 10-15 drags and then putting it down until I next fancy a cigarette a single fully charged battery will last me about a day. It’s all down to how you use it, but even really heavy users should get 6 hours out of a fully charged battery.
As you would imagine the Tornado Electronic Cigarette also requires longer to charge than a battery such as a Super Mini Battery, taking around 2.5 hours to charge on the supplied USB Charger.
The Tornado Electronic Cigarette uses the same atomiser as the Titan 510 so if you are upgrading from a Titan 510 then you can use your current atomisers with the Tornado.
If you have read my review of the Titan 510 you’ll know that I had problems with the cartridge system not being able to provide enough liquid t atomiser, and would need to top up the cartridge every 10-15 drags with 2 or three drops of liquid, although the cartridge holds around 16 drops. The Tornado has not improved this situation, and if anything made it slightly worse as the cone helps to hold heat in the atomiser so that it runs slightly hotter.
The 510 atomisers tend to generate more heat than other models which is why they produce so much vapour, this means in my experience that the cartridge can’t supply enough liquid to the atomiser unless totally saturated . Many people modify their cartridges with different fillers or springs to improve the liquid delivery. I tried a few of these modifications but none really worked that well for me.
If you like to direct liquid directly onto the atomiser though, then the Tornado Electronic Cigarette works well and delivers excellent vapour production and throat hit.
If you intend to use an electronic cigarette in an enclosed public space such as an office or your local pub, then the shape and look of the Tornado should make the process easier, as it’s not likely to be confused with a regular tobacco cigarette, and make it easier to explain what it actually is.
Conclusion
So what did I personally think of the Tornado?
Well when it first arrived I wasn’t to keen on it, as I still like my electronic cigarettes to mimic a tobacco cigarette and I couldn’t get on with 510 atomiser. After a few weeks though it began to grow on me, basically because I changed one component and began to look on the Tornado as a Cigar rather than a cigarette.
What component did I change? The 510 atomiser of course.
I purchased a 510 battery to 901 atomiser adaptor and of course a 901 atomiser as well. This made a world of difference, flavours were improved and cartridges seemed to work an awful lot better, I still couldn’t use all the liquid in the cartridge but I’d find I could fit 10-12 drops in the cartridge when it needed refilling instead of just 2 or 3 with the 510 atomiser.
When I feel like a cigarette I will still reach for something that looks like a cigarette and tend to use an M402 from Mirage Cigarettes as my main electronic cigarette when working or outside. The Tornado however I personally find great for using with my sweeter flavours such as strawberry or Lychee in the evening when watching telly or generally lounging around, treating it more like a cigar.
The 901 atomiser and adapter does however increase the length of the Tornado from 118mm to 132mm.
Update November 3rd 210 – I’ve recently tried out the Totally Wicked 910 Cartomizers and have found them to be a great improvement over the 510 atomiser and cartridge system. They don’t suffer any of the wicking problems. I use them all the time now and would recomend anyone buying a Tornado also ad a couple of cartomizers to their order and give them a try.
I’d also favour the the Tornado in enclosed public spaces where something like the M402 would attract to much attention and requests for me to put out my cigarette, not that I find myself in those situations very often, as I’m more of an outdoor person anyway.
So would I recommend the Tornado Compact Kit to anyone else? The answer to that is yes.
If this is going to be your first electronic cigarette or you haven’t tried the 510 atomiser then I’d definitely go for the compact kit plus a 901 adapter, atomiser and spare cartridges (901 Cartridges are different to 510′s) so that you can get a feel for the device and both types of atomiser. If you like the device you will of course want to purchase a second battery, so that you aren’t left without one when it’s time to recharge, at which point you could try one of the Mega Tornado Batteries or stick with the standard.
If on the other hand you have used a Titan 510 and are happy with the way it performs then I’d probably say you’d be better off with the full kit.
All in all this s a good device and if, unlike me, you don’t require something that looks like an electronic cigarette it provides much improved battery performance with sleek good looking device.

Tornado Electronic Cigarette Compact Starter Kit
The Tornado electronic cigarette is the next step up from the Titan 510.
It still uses the 510 line of atomisers but uses a larger, longer la...
If you haven’t heard of a cartomizer before, al they are is the combination of the atomiser and cartridge system into on single unit, this effectively turns your 3 piece electronic cigarette into a 2 piece device. I personally prefer them to the traditional cartridge system as they seem to work a whole let better.
I’ve had a Titan 510 for about just over 3 months now and couldn’t really get on with the cartridge system. I found that the e-liquid wouldn’t flow properly, and I would be continually topping up the cartridge up with about four drops at a time although the cartridge held about 16 drops. I tried various different fillers and modifications but could never use all the liquid in the cartridge, which seemed fairly wasteful to me.
The Titan 510 Cartomizer has given me a new appreciation of my Titan 510 electronic cigarette, as it holds more liquid than the cartridge system but doesn’t have any of the wicking problems associated with the cartridges. Even my thicker VG liquids seem to flow properly.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that the different flavours of e-liquids taste better through the 510 Cartomizer than the cartridge system, while still providing a good throat hit and decent vapour production.
Size-wise the Titan 510 Cartomizers are the almost the same size as the assembled atomiser and cartridge system, maybe just a mill or 2 longer, but it’s not something that you’ll really notice.
Cartomiser V Atomiser & Cartridge Size Comparison
The draw is also nice and smooth and not to dissimilar to what I remember a regular tobacco cigarette to be like. When you inhale the 510 Cartomizer makes a crackling / fizzing sort of noise but it’s not to loud.
They are available from Totally Wicked / TECC for £1.99 pre-filled with either their tobacco or Menthol flavours, at strengths of 18mg, 14mg and 11mg. I’m not going to state how long they last as I find that it greatly varies between users, as everyone has their own vapeing habits. But what I will say is that they hold around 20 drops or 1ml of liquid.
Now you might think that £1.99 seems fairly expensive compared to a regular atomiser and cartridge system, and if they were a single use item I might agree, but the 510 Cartomizers can be refilled. I’ve heard of people re-filling them 20-30 times before they die. I can’t really confirm this as I haven’t had mine long enough yet, but have refilled them about 6 times at the time of writing this. Also the more 510 Cartomizers you buy at a time the cheaper they get. Buying in 25′s costs £43.79 which is about £1.75 each.
All in all I am really impressed with the 510 Cartomizers and would highly recommend them. They will fit any device that uses a 510 atomiser such as the Tornado or Screwdriver. At the price it is well worth trying out 1 or 2 and making up your own mind.

Titan 510 / Tornado Cartomizer
The Titan 510 / Tornado Cartomizer combines the regular atomizer and cartridge into 1 single unit, making the electronic cigarette simpler to use.
There are plenty of electronic cigarettes available for cigarette smokers but what about cigar smokers?
Well TECC / Totally Wicked have come up with a product for cigar smokers in the form of the Electronic Cigar (RN-4062). It is styled to resemble a cigar from a distance with a brown body and a glowing red tip when inhaled on, close up however it is obvious it’s not real so you shouldn’t have too many problem explaining what it is if you use it indoors.
It uses the same technology as a regular electronic cigarette in order to produce vapour and deliver nicotine. And is made up from 3 basic pieces: a rechargeable battery, an atomiser and a nicotine cartridge.
The rechargeable batteries last longer than your average electronic cigarette giving between 4 & 7 hours use between charges, depending on your usage. The Electronic Cigar (RN-4062) is also longer than most other forms of electronic cigarette coming in at about 147mm, which shouldn’t be much of a problem for cigar smokers.
The TECC / Totally Wicked Electronic Cigar (RN-4062) is supplied with 2 pre-filled cigar flavoured cartridges which are refillable, so should you not like the flavour you can always refill them with an e-liquid of your choice.
All in all this is a nice looking product, at a very reasonable price, for anyone who enjoys a cigar. You may have to try a few different liquids though to find one that suits your tastes.
