Hey -- Ive been an ecig smoker for about 6 months now and love it.

I started with the Mystic eCig from the gas station, and I went through dozens of the batteries.
Then I started buying my own juice from Johnson Creek, its really good!

I recently bought a Johnson Creek VEA for my honeymoon. Its a lot bigger battery but I dont mind, it works pretty good. The cartomizers made for it are amazing, but $10 + $5 for 5 is way too much. I tried using TEA bags to roll my own, but it's really tricky to get that original "hit" im looking for.

I just bought some BOGE 510 cartomizers for my VEA, and it feels like Im sucking in too much air, I get a hit, but it's too "Airy". It doesnt seem this way with the VEA cartomizers.

Is there another Battery I can use with these BOGE 510 cartomizers that would be really good? Or some type of adapter? There are so many parts now I dont know what to look for.

I am looking for something to give off a nice throat kick more than anything. I cant figure out these cartomizers. Some seem like they have a wire down the middle tube (The 510's), others like the Mystic get power from just screwing into the base and there are no wires.

Id like to re-use these Boge 510's since I got quite a few -- Any advice for something that has a bit nicer hit please let me know!

Hi aniyishay, Congrats on the honeymoon, and the vaping! The reason the coils are different is that some are vertical (winding up) and some are horizontal (on the bottom). I prefer horizontal myself, for even heat distribution. There should be a whole bunch of batteries you can use that are 510. There are also different 510 cartomisers. So you could try some other 510 cartos with your VEA, or get a different battery for your VEA cartos.
Alternatively, have you tried buying juice and refilling your VEA cartos? Refilling cartos is easy peasy. Really. You can drip or use the condom method. I prefer just dripping.

Here's a video. Skip to the one minute mark. And she just puts a few drops in. You can drip in 15-20 drops. She's using a different type of carto but dripping is the same for cartos. I like this one because she explains clearly.

Thanks for the reply, I have been refilling my own Cartos, they take about 4 refills then they are no good anymore. Ive never seen the condom method of refilling thats funny :p

So do you think the reason it feels like Its a lot of Air sucking is because of the Cartomizer to the Battery? Its really strange why it feels so much different, I even put a plastic gasket inside the Cartomizer but it didnt really do anything :p

Welcome to ECF and congrats on your marriage. Carto is a metal tank with airway, element and filler inside. Clearomizer is a metal or plastic tube with airway, element, wicks and NO filler. When I use carto+ tank with light juices it lasts 80- 90 ml- with dark juice 50-60 ml. As for filling google "PBusardo Filling Boges for a detailed and highly regarded method to fill cartos properly. First fill of a carto is so VERY IMPORTANT and will determine the longevity of the carto. MOST important is keeping the carto fully saturated. That's the reason many Vapers eventually add a tank to thier gear.
Good Luck.
TH is determined mainly by the amount of nicotine in your juice and the PG ratio. High PG enhances TH.
