Wow! I've never tried an all VG juice. Do you like the juice a lot? I've been wanting to try it but it sounds like a hassle.

Not much hassle if any , (you do need to give it plenty of time to saturate your Boge and don't chain vape it takes a bit longer to move through the stuffing)
It's not for everyone I guess but I'm vaping some Blue Mist Vaping 100% VG DK tab that is quite good right now in a BOGE 2.0 ohm carto. My moods seem to change at times sometimes a great TH is on the menu (then VG is not the ticket) other times huge plumes of thick vapor is nice then high VG shines.

No hassle, and no chemical taste. No PG acid stomach. No sleepy feeling. Better vapor. What a difference! :2c:

Personally I like Humco (= Rite Aid = CVS) USP Glycerin with 5% flavoring and the appropriate amount of Nicotine in VG. It's thicker than the PG liquids, but where it matters, a few drops of water bring it to the same viscosity as PG. Simple, cheap and clean.

BogeyJim, CE2 is a top horizontal coil carto with long wicks dipping down into the juice. They're a little finicky but can be very nice and cannot be burned. They come in metal and clear plastic barrels ("Clearomizer"), and different sizes. OK with any juice.

Thanks so much for clearing that up! I may have to get a 5 pack to see what they're all about.

OP im with you on not wanting to buy syringes man. but diabetics do it all the time. its not like its shady.

also thanks for making this thread. ive got my first order of Bobas on its way. i would have definitely made the same mistake as you. ive never messed with anything higher than 50/50 VG/PG but im excited to.

ive only used cartos so i dont have the option of dripping just yet. i hope the flavor is decent. glad to hear the volt cartos have been working. those are the same style cartos i use.

The clear plastic can crack, but the metal ones are like the ever ready bunny. Once the coil gets really grungy, you can soak it in alcohol or hot water, then even dry burn it, you can see the coil, and if you're careful .... it's baaaaaack! Some have given their lives for the cause, but we have some we keep loading up with different flavors and swapping with my wife that we've had for months. Their weakness is a tendency to wick poorly if the wicks are compressed. Most cognoscenti remove both the washer shaped insert AND the cup-shaped insert (careful, with hooked needle), then gently pulled up the wick on either side of the cup, just a hair to loosen the glass fiber) then replaced the cup-shaped insert LOOSELY. That gives you excellent wicking. The best way to fill is with an 18 gauge needle right into the tiny fill holes in the cup-shaped insert, or remove that, drip down the sides, then replace it. You'll see. Look on YouTube for tutorials. Worth the extra work. Or else just use as is and toss them if/when they don't wick well.

Oh, and the plastic ones, once they crack, you can use the innards in an improvised tank.

Damn, 12 bucks plus shipping for 5 cartos..

Whats the lifespan on these vs. a 2.0 boge?

I don't know how they are but they have cheaper ones at LiteCigUSA.

I've tried the Visions at Got Vapes and liked them. I just wash them out and reuse them. But I use mostly clear PG juice.

So this magic liquid cant be used in tanks, kills cartomizers, and can only be ordered through AV if you wake up at 5am and keep hitting refresh on your browser until it becomes available for a grand total of 5 minutes?

...its flavor should be bordering on celestial orgasm if you people put up with all that.

I've been rockin' it in a boge 2.0 for about a week - with no signs of stopping. I think your info is skewed

This outfit sells AV juice too. See if these links come up...
Alien Visions
I have several wicking devises from this outfit.
GV VISION ExTReMe & Ultimo : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
On this thread was mentioned a metal one of these, I could go for that for travel. The plastic is great for viewing but not a great 'pocket rider'!!
Or this:
Acorn Tank 2.4-2.6ohm
Or this set up for a tank
Ready Made Cut E2 For MAP Tank 2.4 ohm
As long as the wicks are wet, the 100%VG vapes great -for me.
I usually start w/ a 70-30 or 60-40 juice then swap to the Boba's. The swap is pretty quick.
Wet sounds like the key!
Hope this helps.

ok so I havent burnt a carto with BOBAS yet and have used nothing but DC 1.5 smoketech from Vaporjunction I have flooded them a few times but that was due to my wanting a bigger hit LMAO as far as the juice being good ITS SUBJECTIVE you decide order small then etc.etc... it is my daily its not to thick either...my method condom fill till carto is soaked usually two condom fulls, blow excess back into condom usually 1/3 or a little more comes back out...wipe carto off using 91% iso alch...punch hole using saddle valve ....put carto in MADVAPES chrome tank fill tank 2/3s close her up vape happily...I do not like clearomisers any longer I vape to fast I guess cause the wicking action even after the tips and tricks is to slow (burnt taste)....my 2 cents..

Absolutely, I can't taste it after some time vaping it. For instance, today, it's all I've been vaping, and it's getting pretty bland. I usually vape something else for an hour or so and slap the tank back on.

I've successfully been using it in the smoketech tank (madvapes, volcano...) by punching slightly bigger holes. I'll insert the dry punched carto into the tank, fill the tank, and place a stopper (like a carto condom) on the bottom, and do a bunch of dry pulls to saturate the carto. I'll let it sit a while and do it again until the carto is flooded, refill the tank, and get to vaping. Every once in a while, I'll take more dry pulls to make sure the carto is wet. I've noticed the carto starts loosing all flavor production after about three days.

I wouldn't really suggest a CE2 with bobas just because it's so thick and won't wick very well into the cup.

The best way to vape some boba's is on a fresh io6 atty. Unbeatable.
