Boge 510 Cartomizer spitting juice out the hole - wtf?

I've been using cartomizers on my Ego batteries - the first set up that has worked reliably for me. The cartos I bought came from MyVaporStore.com and have no idea what brand they are. They have gold threads, hard caps and have been working pretty well.

Last week I ordered some Boge cartos from litecigusa.net. They have silver threads and soft caps. I took the first one out, loaded it with juice and let it sit overnight. Got up the next day, blew out excess juice and tried it.

As soon as I pressed the button on my Ego, juice shot out of the hole in the cap and hit me in the eye. I pulled it off, blew it out (again), and tried once more. Juice immediately sputtered and shot out again.

Then I put it on a 510 battery I had laying around and....again the sputter sound as soon as I touched the button. This isn't a slurpy sound, but more like an electric spark kind of sound.

I had read in these forums that the gold-tipped cartos were not as good as the silver-tipped, which is why I bought them.

Has anyone else gotten a shooting carto?

Yep, I'm familiar with the slurpy, crackling sound. And I'm familiar with juice in the mouth. But this is different.

I usually hit the battery button about a half a second before I put it to my lips. The instant I touched that button, a little glob of juice shot out the mouth hole - like a bullet. My pv was a good eight inches from my eye, on it's way to my mouth. The carto was not hot - this was the first bit of power I put to it. The juice actually felt hot in my eye - but I don't have much experience with cold juice in my eye, so who knows? It burnt like hell - I know that much.

This is not from being too wet, or being dirty. Brand new carto and I blew it out thoroughly after the first juice-bullet. I wanted to be extra certain there wasn't a user error going on. Although, I have over-juiced the gold-thread cartos many times and they never shot at me.
