That Phoenix is a 510 threading. What are you trying to do? Do you want to use the Phoenix or the smokeless Image cartos. If you want to use that Phoenix, you need a kgo battery. if you want to use a SI carto, get a X2 battery. SI just announced today that they are getting the Phoenix next week.

Personally, I would go the SI route. They stand behind their products and have the best customer service in the business.

They are having a good sale right now. 21% off. Code is independence. You can get a 1300mah x2 for $24, a 900mah for $20 or a 650mah for $16

Well I'm trying to get a good vape! You recommended them to me! I am new and had no idea I needed a different battery for them. Like I said I really like the cartos you recommended though. Guess I will have to pick up another battery for my Phoenix thingy. Don't tell my husband though

How many do you have? You simply bought the wrong ones, you needed the 808 ones. Did you buy a box? You can get an adapter that would allow you to use those on you battery instead of buying a new battery

My V2's usually only last a week or 2 then I have to change out the coils. The process is not that dificult to do and is way cheaper than buying new ones all the time. I tried boiling in the past but with coils in cartos or atty's this can be a hit and miss effort. I have ruined many coils doing the boilouts. It also degrades plastic when you apply heat and makes it prone to cracking. I have had better luck flushing with vodkaand then rewetting directly to the coil with PG. Give it a shot or go back to the cartomizers with poly for cheaper throw away pricing:)

I clean and refill my cartomizers weekly and have no problems with them from the process. Boiling didn't work for me, and trying to dry them did make them harden up too much to be really usable. So here's what you do to clean cartomizers without doing ANY damage to their function:
1. Go to Walgreens and find a little package in the children's medicine section called a bottle syringe. It has a syringe with no needle, a little brush, and a white triangle rubber thing. It's about $3
2. Use white vinegar and hot water in equal parts, usually about a quater cup of each
3. Attach the cartomizer to the white triange (fits perfectly and it doesn't matter which way the carto goes in)
4. Stick carto in the water/vinager mixture and pull the plunger, filling the cartomizer about 10 times in and out with the water mixture to clean it completely
5. Rinse the cartomizers in hot (not boiling but tapwater hot) using the same method
6. Blow out the cartomizers
7. Allow two full days to air dry
Fill just like they are brand new. This completely gets rid of any juice you may have had in there, and my cartos normally last a month or more

Like lannister and a bunch of other vapers here I've been a Boge man since I started. I'm not a cleaner of them so I couldn't give any experience either way in regards to that; at $1 a piece I just toss them and grab a fresh one. They work great in my Phiniacs and after 20-40ml though them I'm tired of those flavors anyways and its time for a new one.

I have to say I love my Boge 1.8 Ohm LR cartomizers. They are simple, cost effective and provide a consistent vape without too much fiddling and fooling around. For any newbies I would suggest giving them a try. They give you the benefit of changing juice flavors with ease and having a few in your pocket pre-loaded is easy enough. Additionally once filled correctly they seem to never leak like many tanks do.

Boge 1.8 Ohm LR on an EGO pass through 3.7 v with a simple drip tip gives me a consistent vape day in and day out.

I never had the motivation to clean a cart.... that would be like trying to reuse a paper towel.

Unless you are dead out of stock. But don't let that happen.

Tried cleaning carts again as was suggested on the thread and once again - fail. I'm done trying. I did however get a free 510 threaded little jobby E-Cigs Electronic Cigarettes and now I am able to try out the bottom coil Phoenix clear cartos that I got with a 510 thread. Really good - I can taste my juisce right away with a healthy hit. Finally I hit pay-dirt. Thanks for all the help guys :)

In my opinion the Phoenix bottom coil xl's are the best there is at the moment. Awesome flavor, dependable and very easy to clean.:)
