I'm really curious about these, but I'm worried that 1.7ohm cartos will blow up my Sidesho batteries... Any opinions?

Yeah imo 1.7ohm is a little low for batts under 650mah. Not saying it won't work, but I would imagine your batteries would suffer a shorten life using such low ohm carto's on them. However. the 1.7ohm would work great on the mod you were talking about getting. I haven't tried the Ressurectors, but CCV does have good prices and a guarantee, can't complain there. I was thinking about trying those out in my tank if the new Flux Deluxe CE2's didn't work out. Just so you know, the Ressurectors are just 1.7ohm XL smoktek single coil carto's. Madvapes sells them as well.

Thanks! I guess I could get them and try them on the Sidesho, and if they don't work right, I'll always have them for the Infinity when I get it.

Definitely feel your pain I've been going through all kinds of cartos trying to find what works.

The stainless steel CE2's from nhaler (i ordered the non-xl kind, 2.4-2.6) work flawlessly right out of the box for me on my KGO as long as I'm not using thick juices. I tried some 100% vg juices like bobas bounty and it would take forever to wick which sucks if you want to take more than one vape in 20 minutes...

Seriously though with PG or thinner juices they are amazing, the throat hit and the flavor are intense.

I've also heard great things about these:

IKV 510 Platinum LR

Plan on ordering some soon.

I use the 1.7 boge from crystalclearvaping.com and have yet to get a bad one. Use the code ecf5off and get %5 off your order.. that would make them a bit over $20 shipped for 3 boxes AND Andrew includes a drip tip of you choice. Super place to buy cartos. Many MANY of us buy from him. They work great on my egos and my 3.7 box mods.

He'll also throw in a syringe and needle too. And shipping's free in the continental US.

Over the edge...
Sorry to hear your frustrations. I have tried cartos but use carts now. I find refilling carts very straight forward, haven't tried traveling with them. There is a 1 ml cart that might last a little longer BreezEsmokes - Premium Electronic Cigarettes, but you would have to deal with cleaning attys and you didn't like that. Just trying to help. Hope you get over the current hump. :)

JustaGuy and I agree. I'm back to carts with no complaints. Beats the alternatives.

I use Boge cartos almost exclusively. I only use PG based juice, though (nothing higher than 30% VG). Anything thicker just will not work for me, in ANY carto/fluxo/clearo.

I hope you find something you like. I have been through plenty of frustrations vaping and I've been close enough to quitting myself. I'm glad I kept with it though because I finally found the combination of equipment I'm happy with.

801 and Mega 510 atties do well with their native carts right out of the box for me...
Love the 801...more winds in the coil...nice big shallow bowl...huge bridge, etc. They do a really fluffy misty kind of vape.
I just overfill the native cart...slap it in, and good to go for an hour or so.

For me, the smaller 901/510 stuff....the carts need alot of modding to get going good (bluefoam,ptb,etc)...and only hold a few drops anyway so might as well just drip. Smart carts and stuff like that on the 901/510...hit and miss for me...just not consistent without fiddling to get it just right on every fill.

On regular sized vertical coil cartos...I'm kinda torn on the vertical coil stuff like the Boge. I do like the way they vape, but as often as they have to be topped off...why bother with a Carto? Might as well drip...so the 801 with carts wins over these for me. I've not really tried the fatter eGo sized vertical and dual coil stuff yet...I hear they're much better in terms of top-off frequency...to the tune of 'all day long'.

On horizontal coil cartos...like KR808-D1, 801 or fusions, etc....now they can go a while without needing to be topped. Nice stuff.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all your help. I think I'm gonna try crystalclearvaping because I've gotten a lot of recommendations from them on here, and through PMs. Once I get my Infinity I'll have a lot more options, and maybe try 808s and 801s. It's just been a battle these past few weeks; I've been dealing with a lot of hardware issues and this Boges thing was like the "last straw" and I snapped. I just gotta wait it out till I get the Infinity. Can't freaking wait! Thanks again everyone!

My little boxmod is about the size of a box of matches. BTW, thank you for the tip on the Hotbox, lasttango. Pyramid tea bag filler in a 510 atty and a 3 mil bottle of juice and an extra battery. I'm ready to roll. Light to light, right, LT? Doesn't get much easier than that. I have a USB charger I can plug into my cigarette lighter if the batteries get low. Still beats the alternatives, IMO.
