Boge 510 Cartomizer spitting juice out the hole - wtf?

[darlasue]

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?

I only used carto's for about a month or so but I have had that happen a few times. The 510 carto's that I used were very noisy (crackling sound), which I actually liked because I could REALLY tell that they were working.

I use the boge's exclusively, although I've tried almost all of them.

When first firing one up after filling (or refilling), it is normal to get a little juice in your mouth (or potentially i guess, your eye). After a few drags, this goes away.

they do that when they need cleaned, or are about to give out from my experience with them.

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.
