My first 4 months of vaping I only used Atties and dripped. I kept reading so much about Carto's I decided to try one. I just say the flavor is great!! But with my dark juices (waffle, caramel popcorn) It only seems like I get 2-3 days out of one MAX!!! So last night I broke out an atty and tried dripping, it was HORRIBLE seemed like I didn't get much flavor except a horrible burnt taste. I thought it mighta been the Atty so I broke out a new one, cleaned out the primer and attempted to drip again. Again, it was burnt taste without any of the juice taste. Am I just spoiled on the full flavor a carto gives out? Has anyone else had this same experience?? Would love to hear what your expierences are.

Are your atties a similar resistance to your cartos ? Its sound a bit like your burning your juice perhaps by using a higher voltage setup with lower resistance atties. Or perhaps your not dripping enough drops and running your atties dry that will also get a real nice burning taste. These are just ideas I could be off completely off base. Its just been my experience that dripping on an atty provides a better taste than cartos not worse but of course YMMV.

me too. Atomizers will always be flavor country for me. I dream of the day I have a golden greek.


In the meantime, I use dual coil XL Mega clear 510 cartomizers, the Drip On Demand system when I wanna try a flavor or just wanna taste the atty (too bad I can't use a 901), and my main squeeze...DCT MAP Tank....I do not really like the taste...but never having to fill and no leaking, and seeing the juice and sustained carto life makes up for it.

I'm using Ms. Ts Bananas Fosters Coffee with cream at 18mg. Thick stuff. Prodigy V1 at 3.7v. 801 to 510 adapter.

Im right with you . The first time i tried a boge carto is the last time i picked up a atty pretty much . I only use attys to test a flavor before putting it in a carto . Attys just annoy me because you drip a few drops which is already annoying then after a few pulls i take the next one and bammm horrible burntness scorching my nostrils . Then it always leaks ,gets all over me .Then i gotta consistantly clean the juice out of the connectors .Mess with dry burning and a whole cleaning process . Such a annoyance . I dont know how anybody use attys and nothing else . Carts are a waste imo also . Boge cartos are the way to go . I say boge specifically because iv tried almost every carto made and none compare to a boge in performance or quality control . Out of the 50+ boges i went through not one was bad .Its also the only carto where i dont have any wicking probs with 100% vg juice

I personally dont thing flavor is better in a atty either . It seems every flavor i use in a atty is too strong or off tasting but once i throw it in a boge its amazing and so much more levels of flavor come out . If there was no such thing as a carto i doubt id still be vaping .

i agree 100% with the above poster. boge cartos are absolutely perfect for me. the only time i use atties is when i test new flavors. i am also starting to have a secret-behind-closed-doors relation with gotvapes fluxomiser and vision extreme's. they give at least the same taste but more vapor= uses more juice compared to a boge 2.0.
i look at it this way: if everything else fails, i always go back to the trusty good boge cartos. (15 cartos for $20 from Crystal Clear Vaping and free shipping.

I have tried the fluxo's from got vapes and those were horrible imo . I could not get them to wick , the resistance was way off , got juice in my mouth and they leaked out the battery end after sitting for a few days . I found the smoktech dcc's to be not too bad but still no boge . The only carto i havent tried is the resurrectors which i hear good things about .

I use waffle, caramel popcorn and tasty finger and I too can't get more than a couple days out of a boge carto. After the first day, the flavor is so muted its almost not worth it. I went back to attys, I use a 901 and the flavor seems to just pour out. Dripping is a pain and a bottom feeder helps with that. I still use cartos but not as much.

Sometimes you can get a batch of bad cartos. Last week I tried some Boges and all 5 in the box were bad. Went through a lot of juice before tossing them out.

I noticed if I took off the cap and looked down inside the carto while pressing the button that I could see a red glow at the bottom of the center tube. This was the indicator the carto was bad. So I learned to test them before adding a bunch of liquid.

When I opened the next box they were fine. Just a bad batch in the first box I guess.
