Bad Carto's or lack of experiance?

[ride_k2]

I recently got back into vaping 7 months ago and have had to go back on the Analogs due to my frustration lately with cartos.

HELP!!!!!!!!!

I started with general cartos then a mini-sub tank from mom and pops vapor shop and their pre-punched boge 3.0 cartos. The juice was around 50/50 and the cartos lasted me 2+weeks of chain vaping. Great experience!

Next I purchased some pre-punched (single punch) from electronic stix, they all worked flawlessly...

Since then:

** Boge 3.0 cartos (electronicstix, mtbakervapor and other vendors) , with ibtanked tanks punched with a Tiny Mite Carto Punch. I have also even enlarged punch holes also = **Cartos will not feed, they will burn, scratchy throat 80/20, 65/30, 50/50 all same results.

Even w/ using cartos by themselves without punching/tank, I run into the same issues.

Ill open a carto and then draw air.. they are all very restricted. I might get one in a pack that I can work with.

Bogegate???

Ive been trying to find some Ikenvape cartos but they're always out of stock.


Im so tired of carto issues..I'm thinking about getting a HH357 and a AMP tank.

I need suggestions...

Please Help!

I had a hard time following your description. All I could gather was at one time you were having an enjoyable vaping experience and then at some point everything you tried hit the fan. Is that a reasonable synopsis?

I don't have a clue what's going on. It does seem like you've been only using one brand (Boge). Sounds like you need to try a different brand out. The idea of the Ikenvape cartos is a good one, but as you said they are not easily available. Perhaps try some Smoktechs. I use the 3.0 ohm single coils from here when I can't get my Ikenvapes - Tank Replacements

I'm not sure where you're going wrong either. I use Boge SR cartos that I get from surevapes and punch them myself. For the most part they work flawlessly. I might run into one bad one for every 5 or 6 good ones. Not the best ratio, but not 4 out of 5! I would be frustrated too.

I have to tried Ikenvape cartos either, but I intend to. You can sign up as I did to be put on an email notification list for when they come back in stock.

In the mean time try watching this video. It has everything you would ever want to know about cartos from priming to punching and everything in between. Someone really should put this video in a sticky somewhere...

Sorry for my unstructured post. lol

I just have gotten so many bad Boge carto's, I'm crazy frustrated.

I have tried Smok cartos, They just don't produce enough vapor for my liking.

Just ordered a HH.357 and going to try straight dripping for a while.... Will see how that goes
