Has anyone else had this issue? any solutions? thought about drilling out the holes a bit to allow more airflow... I mean usually I can get like 6 or 7 days out of a carto with other juices, but I only vaped 3 ml of boba's out of this one and the draw got tight. The same for the gorilla juice. Maybe it's time to try out some atomizers, but I don't have the money to order any right now. This is my first bottle of Bobas and I am loving it. Hoping I don't have to switch juices again, cuz this is the one for me.
Boba's clogging cartomizers?

I cut my boba's down with some PG juice I like so not sure about "straight up".
I have noticed you can keep a carto too wet. That causes the filler to swell and pinch off the air tube.

yeh, I had thought about cutting it down with some 555 that I have boat loads of, but it would be a shame to mix in such a sub-par juice. I shall try it an see if I like it in a small quantity, but that could be a way to tolerably get rid of it. I checked my tube and it isnt pinched, but my 510 connection has black gunk coating the area where the air holes are. The only way I know how to combat that is by cleaning the cartomizer. I put on another carto with some torque 56 just to make sure I am not crazy, but the airflow was much better even with a 4 or 5 day old carto.
A couple drops of distilled water will thin it out, that's what Ben(AVE) suggests for those finding it too thick. I've done it and it works, though after a while it will diminish the flavor - I only water down as much as I'll use in a day.
It's a carto design flaw. They should use a more rigid tube to keep the center air passage open when juices cause the the stuffing to swell and restrict air flow.
I've read a sharp 18 gauge needle or similar sized sewing needle can be used to root around in there and open it back up, but you have to be careful not to damage the coil. I've not tried it, myself.

As an old kr8 user a straight paper clip worked fine for me. Haven't tried on boge lr's.
Mudflap is right though. Go slow and be careful. Also misalignment of the tube can also cause some draw issues. Moving it back in alignment can help too.

What always confounded me was tight draw on a carto when I could see clearly all the way through the air tube, no clogs in the intake holes above the threads, and no indication that the insulator ring had shifted upwards.
If there's a way to monkey up the inner workings of a carto or atty, I'll find it.

I vape Boba's daily in my REO with a Boge 2.0LR Carto. I have had no problems with it at all. I don't dilute the Boba's with anything. I use all my cartos for 7 days, I toss the old ones out and put new ones on each Sunday. Works well for me.
For sure, that was it. Thanks a bunch, just had to jimmy with it. Man, it didn't even seem like it was swelled up or closed off cuz I could see right through it, then jimmied it and voila, it widened the tube and increased my airflow!
Thats what I do also. Works fine. I have been mixing BB+GJ+Distilled water.
this is my way to a better airflow.
just use a big paperclip and spin the carto 2 or 3 times.
works nice.

I use BB exclusively but with an atty. I stare 5 stainless steel dual core cartos I traded for some juice I didn't want. One of these days I'll have to try one I just haven't had the inclination to do so yet.
I'd get a MAP tank or something similar for Boba's. Its my favorite and I stopped wasting it on CE2's and other Cartomizers. Now I only use a MAP tank or LR306's. Tastes fresher that way too. I couldn't believe the taste contrast.
