Before I begin let me say I know I am in the minority here.
Heck I just might be the only one ..... I don't like them ..... actually I think they suck.

I have 3 different kinds from 2 different vendors.
I have Short black ones and the XL in black and steel and they all have the same issues.

1) Big one, the flavor sucks. No matter how long you let them soak the first 20 hits are terrible :(
Then they are OK for a little while before the flavor is gone again.

I had one with Boba's and one with Gorilla juice loaded. After a couple of hours I could not tell which one was which .... WTF :(

2) The draw is super stiff compared to a Boge Carto ....
3) They cost more and perform worse than a Boge Carto ....

I know some or a lot of you love them, thats fine I guess.
I hear things like "awesome", "amazing" and "not in the same league as a Boge LR carto"

Well that last one is right, the Boge LR carto wins hands down IMO.

I wan't to like them, I tried for a month. I've used 17 of them but most only last a couple of hours before I throw them out :(

I've tried 3.7, 5v and 6v. I've tried over filling and under filling them.
I've let a couple soak overnight before the first hit .... still retched nasty flavor .... Yuk.

There is a point where they are better than a single coil .... but its a tiny window from maybe hit 20 to hit 60 .... thats just ......ed.

I gave it my best shot. Movin on .....

I put my boxes of them up on the shelf for my "end of days" or to swap stash.

The reason I didn't care for them is they seemed to be juice hogs, and needed topping off far too often. I could have lived with that if they were producing plumes of vapor, but it was less than the Boge's. Oh, and they scorched my juice something awful.

The Boge's are my sweet spot for vaping- I don't think I'm going to look around anymore. Second runner up was the Vortexes- but they're sort of a moot point with a Reo. For atty's I stick with the Extremevaping 1.7 ohm.

yeah well, to each, his own

i happen to like them, only issue i have had is due to threads on 2 out of 15, not perfectly straight when on batt connector

they are thirsty, i must admit, common sense though, 2x the coils = 2x the juice ?

on a side note...my taste buds may be fried, but, bobas and gorilla juice taste very similar to me, i love them both

just my 1 cent worth, i dont think i qualify for 2, lol

hey big hitter

i am vapin on some ikv-ry4 right now and its smokin up the room !

tastes pretty damn good too, but thats probably thanks to isaac and his most excellent brew, lol

since i hear the praises of the boge, how about steering me in the right direction...

exactly what are they called (comparable to my duals) and where can i get some (vendor specific), i would like to give "the best" a try for myself

maybe you have enlightened me, lol

Well I gotta agree with big hitter they won't work on my vv VMU and when they fire it won't go above 3.8 so for me it's fail because I get plenty of throat hit and heat but average vapor if I had a straight 5v regulated mod I imagine it would be a different story
On the other hand ikenvape is going to design and betatest some custom American built DCs so there may still be hope
Shout uot to 5cardstud for letting me get a DC free to try

I love these things. I bought a 5 pack awhile back when I got my honey beez juice and I've had one last 2 weeks still giving great taste/th/vapor. I compared them to a ikv lr carto and I liked the dual better. I bought like 20 ikv cartos anyways though because they are great and I love supporting all vendors lol.
