Okay, quick update on the Boge cartos vs. CE2 R6... the Boge's are sometimes snap-crackle-popping a little too hard, and a couple times I've had a hot ember singe the tip of my tongue. Most unpleasant, and an issue I never experienced even with my usual top coil CE2's.
What is proving to be the real deal breaker for me here is that my wife (who has a super sense of smell as it would have been featured in the show Heroes, as well as delicate and hypersensitive sinuses) has been complaining about horrible burning smells and she's even choked a few times. Her eyes were red and got a headache, and the only difference was the Boge cartos. Same batt, same voltage, same juice... the Boge's are the only thing that changed. I think she's picking up some of the singed polyfill or something. (which may be what is also causing the embers that constantly burn my tongue)
I must admit I am often getting dry, scratchy hits on the Boge, even with a freshly charged carto that has been soaking for a few hours. After a day of using the Boges, I can say they are nowhere near the clean, consistent and high quality vape I was getting on the CE2's, so I really hope LF starts carrying them soon. (or a non-RoyalSmokers equivalent)
I have been wondering about tank atties, too. Sadly, I have been unable to try them because all my batteries are 901/808 thread and I don't like having to use adapters. I want to grow my e-cig stash with a Firefly at some point in the future, so maybe I'll get some of your new tank atties to try with it when I do get it.
And oh yes, there is a new version indeed. The so-called Smokeymizers are a different carto with a bottom coil design and bad leaking issues (at least on the last version I looked into). After ironing out all the problems CE2's had with the wicking, primer, soldering, cups and a whole host of other issues, by the time I first tried them the main complaint was that the tubes cracked all the time. And boy, did they ever. Half came cracked, the other half cracked within days.
A couple months back they fixed that by making new tubes of a near uncrackable plastic. It still gets a bit deformed over time and does not sit as snug as it should on the battery end, but by that time, chances are that the coil has seen so much use, cleaning and dry burning that the carto needs to be retired anyway. With the newest version, I've had no leaking, cracking, wicking, gurgling or flying hot ember issues with them. Just mild wicking issues every now and then when the juice level is low, but I just turn my ecig upside down for a second or two and that fixes it. So far, for me the CE2 R6 are about as good as it gets without direct dripping.
As far as I can tell from the picture, the new CE2 design is a LOT like the new LF clearos (with the exception that the mouthpiece is also the plug on the LF version, whereas I can use any drip tip to top the standard CE2's). If you would only bring those LF clearomizers in 808 thread, I'd be more than happy to give them a shot.
Or hey, if you start carrying high quality dual coil versions, I'd be one very happy camper. XD
