Boge 510 carto atty "mod"? Failed... Just curious

[tsunami987]

So. Got a nice new shipment in with some amazing copper creek juices. Tried to fill up my first carto with house blend. Used the condom method, but most likely did it too fast (didn't know you need to watch and make sure juice doesn't come up the tube). It worked wonderfully for about 15 minutes, then BAM! The dreaded singed polyfill vape. tried to flood it with some more juice, kinda helped but not enough. More or less, my first carto was unvapeable.

Now, from misreading a post when I was just starting out, I thought cartos were great for dripping. I realized that's impossible in their stock state. I found some vids detailing how to remove the poly-fill and use them for dripping, but none for boge's specifically. I decided to go ahead and give it a shot... I mean really, how hard can it be? Most of the cartos in the various vids look similar (lots of v4l's). As it ends up, it seems like the poly-fill is attached a bit better than those in the vids. Pulled out the little tube and what I imagine is the coil.

After all that backstory, heres my question... Has anyone successfully "modded" a 510 boge carto to be used for dripping?

Yes and I used the videos. It was linked in an ECF post and pretty sure it was a members video. Mind you I did not use a new carto. It was slightly used.

I haven't done that mod before. But I just wanted to share that I do use my cartos on my REO and I don't prefill them. I just feed from the bottom like it was an atty. There's a little bit of learning curve (the poly soaks up the fed juice a bit so you have to feed a bit more often at first) but vaping has been so hassle free for the last few months. Lovin' it!

I re-read your post and mine really doesn't relate to you at all, sorry. But Here's hoping someone will come along with something that can help you out. =D

last night I took 2 semi used 510 boge 3.0 cartomizers, followed the videos that use the v4l cartos, got my polyfill out good without bringing up the tube or coil, dripped a few drops down in it, vaped...and NOTHING! what am I doing wrong? is there a certain way you must drip in the cartomizers?

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I figured I'd give what insight I've gained from using the clear resurrectors. Two of the ended up coming apart, apparently enough to shed enough juice so that they ended up burning. Took the polyfill and diaper off, but unfortunately the diaper seems to be vital enough that I get no more than a 1-2 second vape before the vapor stops. Now... With the diaper still on in the next one, I can definitely drip, but it doesn't seem to work well enough to be a decent option. I either have to take off the cover and drip directly on it or drop about 4 drops down and get maybe 1-2 hits before it dries up. I think if I could find a material to slip inside the coil that won't burn it would work fairly well, but at the same time... My atty still works great, and i'd rather drop 8 bucks for an lr atty than try something that may just burn up and give me some nasty fumes.

Dying2Live, you may have either removed the diaper somehow or potentially disconnected a wire or something. They'll still give vapor, but it will be next to nothing compared to a normal carto or atty
