Finally got to try my first MOD (a misnomer IMO, since I've not done anything to "modify" this device) now that my batteries arrived.
I bought a Bolt in gun metal 'cause it was a sexy looking device, and the only tanks I could find to match (in gun metal) were the "SmokTech U-DCT 6ML tanks" with the 1.5 ohm "SmokTech CE2 DCT-2 No Filler Pre-Punched Cartos". Perhaps I place to much emphasis on the aesthetics of my devices, but that's just how I roll.
Unfortunately, the carto that came in the tank was only good for a couple of draws before it went dry and acrid. It wicked horribly, and though I tried everything from twirling the Bolt like a batton, to numerous unpowered draws, nothing helped. Admittedly, I didn't try one of the replacement cartos out of fear that I would go through the effort only to experience the same thing, but another non-filler carto from my back-ups might prove more efficient. I'll find out once I'm done vaping this tankful with my current setup...
...so, instead, I replaced the "CE2 No Filler Carto" with a fresh "Boge 1.6 ohm Cartomizer" that I had on hand with the same flanged bottom. Though they looked to be identical in dimension, and the flange did fit the bottom of the U-DCT Tank, the Boge carto sits up about a millimeter over the top of the tank (instead of nice and flush with the top of the tank). The included drip tip for the tank was also VERY hard to get into the end of that carto, so it would appear that there's a tiny difference in diameter between the two (the original CE2 being slightly bigger around), though it hasn't caused any leaks so far.
If we put the cartomizers themselves aside, the tank itself is amazing! I love the weight of it, certainly the look of it, and the bottom locking ring gives me a great deal of peace-of-mind in that the tank won't slide up or down on the cartomizer. It's a rock solid tank. It feels and looks like glass, but I'm quite certain that it isn't given the $14.95 CAD price tag, and the fact the the seller's description doesn't mention what the material is (I've no doubt that it's polycarbonate).
Anyway, with a conventional carto, I've been vaping it and loving it all morning. And now, some pics...
