10+ year vaper seeking setup upgrade advice/suggestions...

[panda530]

Hi Fellow Vapers,

I used to be an EFC member but couldn't recall the email I used to sign up so I had to create a new account. I've been vaping since August of 2011 and during that time my vaping products evolved but not as fast as most of you. I believe it was 2013/2014 when the SMOK & Boge 510 tank cartomizers came out and that's where I'm stuck. I'm pretty picky I will only use the Boge 510 XXL Pre-punched SR 3.0 OHM cartomizers. Unfortunately, they are getting harder to find. Can you guys give me suggestions on replacements that would give a similar vape? I use the Aspire K4 battery and preferably want something I can use with it and I use homemade caramel candy ejuice (70P/30V) 24MG nicotine. Thanks! I included a pic of my setup.

Welcome back. I have just recently returned and am amazed at how much has changed and how much I have remained the same. I am looking forward to reading the responses. I just wanted to say hello.

 

[panda530]

Thanks Rat2Chat2. I know, right? I think the last time I posted was back in 2015 lol.

 

[Rat2chat2]

Well, we are both sort of taking a stroll down memory lane. I want to find out about all the new stuff but I can't say that I will change what I am using because I have gotten along fine for years. I guess that is another sign I am getting old because I don't change as easily as I used to.

For Sale - Any Interest In Some BOGE F16 Cartomizers?

not exactly what you specified, but might check with this guy.

I’ll leave it to others to provide input on possible replacement setup, I’m still living in the past too.

 

[panda530]

If you don't mind me asking, what setup are you using?

 

[Jwaterski]

Subtank plus most of the time, I do have a couple newer mods, by my standards, one of the original aegis 100 mods, and a asmodus, don’t remember the model, out of production now though. And a few older back-ups, even a mech squonker, not much to go wrong there even if everything gets banned

 

[Rat2chat2]

If you don't mind me asking, what setup are you using?

Don't mind at all. I have a bunch of reo's when I want to squonk. A bunch of eLeaf Basics I use outside when I'm working on something cause I don't care if I break em or lose them. Just around the house, I am still using an old Sigelei Legend that I have used since 2013. A couple of Digiflavor Helix's which are almost impossible to find but are so easy to use. A couple of years ago I bought a CoolFire z mini which I like very much and use when I am walking because it fits in my pocket so nicely. I am still basically using what I purchased when I first started vaping. I know that sounds boring but if it ain't broke. . .

Bet you hate you asked? heehee Sorry if you weren't really asking me. I just thought I'd answer anyway.

 

[Jwaterski]

I did use cartos for a while back then, and really don’t know of any newer gear that would be the same, but I bet someone will have some ideas that may work.

 

[panda530]

Nice! I'd stick with my current setup but not many vendors carry the Boge cartomizers anymore so I'm afraid I won't be able to get them.

Do you think everything is going to get banned? The whole thing makes me so mad. The ejuice company I used to buy from closed after the PACT Act and I've used the same flavor/vendor for 11 years now. I bought the recipe from the owners for $400 so now I can make it myself. I just don't get it. Vaping 1,000 times better than smoking, why would you ban a product that's helped so many quit?

Thanks. I guess it's my fault for not upgrading sooner lol.

I love to hear shout everyone's setup. I'm also glad to hear I'm not alone in nor wanting to upgrade lol.

I used some eleaf’s for quite a while, good little mods, just wanted something with a little longer battery runtime, external batteries seemed to take care of that. Reo’s, way better than the squonk I have.

 

[panda530]

My first ecig was Blu, the setup looked like actual cigarette just with a blue tip. I remember the batteries only lasting 15-45 mins. God I'm getting old .

 

[Rat2chat2]

I started out with a cigalike too. Still have them. Used a coupon just to see what an electronic cigarette was. The best coupon I ever used and the only thing that helped me to remain smoke-free for almost 9 years. I used to say I would go back to smoking if I got sick and was told I only had six months to live. I doubt I would now. I don't really want to know. heehee

I got banned for creating a second account and it took a bit of doing for the admins to straighten it out. Just sayin...

Maybe @classwife can help you get your old account back?

So since you're using carto tanks, I guess you need something modern with a tight draw.

Problem with buying any cartos you might find, once those are done you'll be back here looking for a new tank again. Best to just nip it in the bud and start your transition to a modern tank now.

I would suggest the Innokin Zlide tank, 22mm/2ml version, not the 25mm/4ml version. The 25mm/4ml version will work on the K4 but there will be overhang since the K4 mod is only 22mm but it does hold 2ml more juice, so that's your decision. Some people hate overhang.

Because shipping of vape gear is a shyteshow in the USA due to PACT Act, order it from China and wait 2-8 weeks for delivery. Just be patient You likely wait that long if you order it from the USA anyhow, plus you may have to sign for the package and you will pay more after shipping and taxes. Here's a link to the 22mm/2ml Zlide in SS color. Use the dropdown menu on the right above the "add to cart" button to select other colors and/or sizes.

EDITED TO ADD: But I'll be frank with you, using a 70PG juice in many modern tanks might prove to be too thin. If you find that you can't use a modern tank without flooding and/or leaking using 70PG, you may have to make your juice a little thicker, like 50PG.

Hi Fellow Vapers,

Welcome and glad you joined.

 

[somdcomputerguy]

Welcome to ECF, panda530. I mix my own liq and wrap my own coils for use in RTA's. The PG level in my juice is around 75%. I have found that just a bit more cotton in the wick helps with the leaking issue.. YMMV though.. Check out this thread for some great pics of others mods - Picture of Your Setup Part 3!
