Maybe you got a bad batch of carto's(??) I have heard there are bad batches making their rounds, i definetly recieved a few smoktechs that were WAY off on my multimeter (Which is a great 3 $ investment,IMO, and pays for itself by the time you find 2 carto's/atty's that are way off. Because, ya don't have to waste juice in them:)... It does suck when that happens though, for real...

The thing to remember with Boge cartos, or any vertical coil carto, is that the coil is about 1/3 of the way up the carto, so you cannot vape on it until it is empty. You must fill them more often to avoid burning them up. That is one reason that I use Kanger horizontal coil cartos. The coil is all the way at the bottom, so I can vape on it until it is 99% dry/empty.
If you are looking for a dripping atty, take a look at the HH 357. IKenVape has a great selection of attys as well, but the site is closed for maintenance ATM.

Well, everybody, seems that after all this trial and mostly error, Ive finally got it. First I went to a local store here. I was out of juice and curious to see if I could get a few fresh cartos I would have better luck. I went to E-city in laguna beach. I was very impressed, nice store, with quite a nice array of supplies and pvs and mods. They had a lot of juice too. Mostly heavy PG and pinkspot juice. The girl was very nice and helpful. She looked at my KGO with the phiniac tank. She told me it was flooded, so she cleaned it out, went to the back with a new boge carto that she punched with 2 holes. Put it back together and mentioned that the phiniac tank was extremely tight. SHe said that she had never seen such a vacuum, she than filled it up with a marlboro juice and it was working wonderful. THe juice was a 80pg/20 pg. mix. Very thin. I got home and as it got real low, I topped it off with a 50/50 mix and then it started getting dry. I got my order from phiniac with their carto punch and decided to take the plunge. I put 2 holes slightly bigger at bottom and one towards the top. Primed carto and pushed it in. Waited a bit to let it all soak in. WOW. Im in heaven. SO to all this, I guess you can put it up to practice and knowlege. You all helped me so much. I also got a new drip tip, the other one I had was a derlin and it seemed loose. I ordered the stainless steel drip tip from phiniac. It was a tip adapter for the murano glass drip tips. It is a lot more narrow and seems to fit snuggly to top of carto. Its real nice and not so wide and looks nice. Im going to use the 2 holes at bottom and one at top configuration from now on. I think that with thicker juice and the phiniac having such a vacuum seal that the top hole makes a big difference. Im using a 50/50 mix and was actually able to add some of my highbrow full vg. and its working great. Im crossing my fingers that this will be all. I had to top off juice and was worried about ruining all the work, but still no problems.

Hmmmm, maybe now i need.........

One trick that will enhance and fulfill your desire to get the most out of vaping VG is....................



wait for it....................
ATTYS!

Well, hell, you were right! I went to my local vendor to pick up some cartos and asked them about attys, I told them I had been recomended to try one. I bought a atty/tank, dang if I can remeber the brand, it is a CE2/4 not sure, I told them I heard there was some problems such as leacking, priming, getting rid of solvents, etc. He picked one out of the case, told me you just unscrew the drip tip, pour the juice , put drip tip back on Loosely, and enjoy. It was only 4$? He told me it can be cleaned and used over and over again and for a buck you get a new atty when it seems to be worn. Such taste, so smooth. Flavor does seem a bit more subdued, maybe not maybe its just the fact that is not going thru the filler. If this is what attys are like, than a nice rebuildable is in my future. Thank You Mr Mann!
