I ran across some additional info, followed up on it, and successfully removed the hard cap from one of the Boge hard cap cartos. The cap came off cleanly, easier than I anticipated. It was actually more work to remove the glue residue from inside the carto than it was to remove the cap. I finally hit upon using a sharp pair of scissors to scrape the glue off, while holding it at about a 45degree downward angle, which worked out just fine. So I will retract my comments about why anyone would want to use these. I have been using the cartos mostly with drip tips, and once the hard cap is removed, these become excellent drip tip cartomizers, with all of the same performance of the soft cap Boge cartos. I also suspect that if you have any spare Boge soft caps lying around you would be able to use these, which would convert them into soft cap cartos pretty simply. Since the hard cap removal only needs to be done once, I can now see why someone might want to save a buck and use these instead!
I also ran across a couple of vids showing how to clean the cartos using a turkey baster and hot water, which is pretty darn close to how I clean my attys using the modified baby booger sucker! Horaay! Cleaning them will be a lot easier than I thought! Haven't had to clean one yet, more on this later as the need arises!
BTW, Lava Flow vapes sweet in this carto, especially on my 5v pass through, and I don't have to power wash an atty afterwards! I do have to watch it closely though, it's pretty much all PG and the carto cooks it PDQ @ 5 volts. Got my first every slight taste of burn using this combination. Fortunately, I caught it immediately and quickly refilled and soldiered on!
One final item worth mentioning. I've been asked about how the vaping may affect my blood sugar levels, since I am a type 2 diabetic. I recently did enough research to discover that if anything vaping actually lowers blood sugar levels. It's also a great way to avoid the weight gain normally associated with quitting smoking. When I get a craving for something sweet, I can enjoy vaping it, instead of actually eating it! You gotta love that!
