Bad Cartomizer

[Kijuro]

I had just gotten a new box of Boge LR cartos. I filled it up using the condom method and waited 5 min, juice is a wonderful blueberry 70/30 PG/VG.
I got approximately 4 nice toots. On the next draw a slightly different sound and burnt filler flavoring.
Must of just been a bad one, first time this has ever happened to me.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? and should I have expected more than 1 bad carto over 2 1/2 months?

Ugh I had the happen the other day, right off the bat just this awful burnt taste, I was so bummed! It was a flavor I was excited to try. Still haven't brought myself to try that flavor again lol. It was a Boge 2.0

I know it happens, I'm not sure how often to expect tho. I've been vaping for almost 2 months. In all fairness I just started using eliquid a couple weeks ago tho, I was using prefilleds exclusively cuz I didn't know better yet lol

Welcome to ECF , but sorry to say , even with brand name carto's ( BOGE"S ) once in awhile you get a bad one . I personally don't use the condom method myself , but if it works for you , have at it . I just drop 8 to 10 drops in , let them soak in , then add maybe another 6 or 8 drops . If you blow lightly on the carto to force the juice down into the filler , it will take a lot less time before you can use it .

I had filled 2 Boge 2.0 LR Cartos with a sample of Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, and was really looking forward to tasting it. But, both of them were bad! Two in a row. Man, I was upset. However, the other 48 out of 50 I had ordered were just fine.

It's pretty much luck of the draw with any brand of cartos. I have learned, though, that taking a couple of short, quick draws, without pressing the button helps to distribute the liquid into the filler better, after the initial fill.

I didn't realize you can buy carto's in bulk - I have a Volt and have been using the carto's I bought from them. Are the Boge's better, or just cheaper?

Iva had one not want to fire with certain batteries in my box mod and then with other batteries it just tasted burnt. I tried to get the juice out but couldn't, I just ended up tossing it.

This happens. I have a Volt and use their cartos. I had 2 that did this in my last box of 5. Seems to be a way of life when it comes to these things.

Unfortunately your gonna get a bad carto every once in a while, just the nature of the beast. I don't use the condom method either, usually use a syringe on the initial fill up or do the drip method like Renzuli except I will (with keeping the condom on the battery connection) shake it like a thermometer to get the juice down to the bottom. Works like a charm for me.
