Boge 510 LR Cartomizer Confusion

[vermeer]

I've been using the Boge510-LR Carts--these are great at 3.7--so I thought I might give them a try at 5 volts, even though I was advised that this will surely shorten the life of the cart--but wow--so far so good---great vapor and throat hit......on this one cart. Another doesn't want to work at all; I'm guessing the protection is kicking in. The confusion is why this one cart works at 5 volts but not the other. They are from the same order. Is it that the ohms are not exact on each cart?
Also: has anyone noticed that sometimes you just get a killer cart or atty that just doesn't want to quit? Gotta love that.

I use 2.0 Boges on 3.7 volt devices and 3.0 on 5 volt devices. I think 2.0 at 5 volts is just burning the juice.

I had my provari set at 5.0v with a 2.0 boge but it tasted way burnt so I switched it down to 4.0 and it was incredible.

The ohm rating can vary on each, some advertised at 2.0 may come in at 1.9 and others at 2.2 but it should be close and shouldn't make a huge difference with small variances. The only way to tell with each would be measure them with a meter. If it's actually 2.0 ohms or close to it and your using it at 5 volts that should be a pretty hot vape, keep it wet.

What PV are you using? Some times resistence does vary among cartos. Could be that you are drawing too many amps for the switch.

Well I'm using a 5V Box Mod--one carto works - and great, and another trips the protection.

If you have a multimeter, you might want to check the resistance of your cartos.

That said, I agree with posts (above) that 2.0Ω is way to low for 5v use (with cartomizers). You'll burn the juice and the filler in no time. No cartomizer can handle 12.5 Watts... If you need high wattage, I recommend high quality atomizers.

I don't know if this helps. I set my buzz to 5 volts....put on a 3.0 Boge and I get 4.9 under load.
