Boge carto issues, just this batch or still a problem?

[CarbonThief]

I posted a thread in the PV: cartomizers thread, which not many people look at it seems.

So just generally, what has been recent experience with these cartos? Good, Bad, mixed?

Other thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartomizers/361038-new-batch-boge-lr-cartos-33-33-33-so-far-quality.html

Thanks for any feedback.

[JUDGMENT AFFIRMED]

Hi Carbon
I finally tryed Boge Dec. 1st. Hated cartomizers in July and haven't used till now.
Started out with 2 that were great, but the 3rd was just ok, then the 4th was bad. Juice just wasn't getting to the coil. No 5 im using now and its good.

Thanks for the reply Judegment, that seems to be the way this box is going as well. 2 OR 3 PER EVERY 5 decent or even good seems to be par for the course with Boge now, will definitely try something else next time. ViviNova I think is one, Smoktech another I have heard good things about. I wonder if cleaning the ones that taste bad straight out of the box (filled with juice of course first!) with Pbusardo's boiling method will help or if they just should be thrown away when that happens. I will test my next couple that happens with (fingers crossed that it DOESN'T though of course). I could see that completely wetting the filler and drying it out could "prime" it for soaking up the juice and wicking it to the coil better, as I think this is the problem, not getting to the coil and the dry filler is just heating up/burning.

Thanks again,

Carbon

I got a few boxes a couple of weeks ago of Bogie SR from a B&M and so far all that have used has been good to go

I've never seem to have the problem that many have had with boge cartos. Except for attys, that's pretty much all I use. I get an occasional dud but not often. About a year ago I got a box that just wouldn't absorb liquid. I let the supplier know (can't even remember who it was at this point) and he replaced them and they were fine.

I don't disbelieve other's have had problems with them. It just doesn't seem to be the case for me. Hope I don't jinx myself.

I've been having good luck with the 3Ω Boges I'm using. It's been spotty on the ST Ressurectors tho.

 

[CarbonThief]

Thanks Caridwen, just unlucky here perhaps. Thanks to you as well Talonius.

Still, worth trying some other carto brands I believe. Won't give up on the Boge's altogether though. When they are good, they are great!

 

[Kemosabe]

all the recent boges ive gotten have been fine. ordered from surevapes. black and SS, LR and SR. all fine. so far. ive been through maybe a dozen.

Tried my first boge 3 ohm yesterday and it sucked. Flavor was so so and vapour was very little. I'm going back to my smoktech xl's. They're flawless for me so far. Luckily I only bought a 5 pack to try.

I've tried others and do like them. But I'm buying cartos for two people and it's just cheaper and easier to get the same brand. I've tried the tanks/clearos and always just go back to cartos.

Is there a big difference between Boge and Smoktech when you have a good carto from both? I've been using Smoktech and have only had one dud so far. Hate when it happens though because juice is wasted!

I've been using Boge xl sr punched in carto tanks exclusively for 3 months with no issues. I use a small syringe to make sure they're fully saturated and then put in the carto tank. No issues whatsoever and they last for weeks with great vapor and taste.

Lol, I couldn't tell you what a good boge is like, it's 0 for 1 so far. On the other hand I'm at 12/12 for smoktech and find the flavor pretty good when I take a hit back to back with my atomizer and then the tank.

I have a tank, haven't tried clearos, but I like the tank for how long it lasts without needing a refill of course. To ME, the flavor is somewhat muted and the vapor production quite low compared to the cartos, so I break it out just on occasion and mostly because it LOOK SO AWESOME.

But yeah, cartos are what I like the best, so far.

I've seen on a few prominent vapor reviewers that the latest (newest) Boges have been iffy lately, haven't noticed it myself because I've never bought any, but its in the grapevine. If you wanna try a different brand, go ikenvape. They have outstanding reviews from a lot of high profile reviewers and I am waiting for mine to get here now! Gl!

 

[Kemosabe]

i dont believe in giving up on boges. i do like smoktech too. if boge made a EMDCC, i bet it would be proper.
i do hear that ikenvape cartos are fantastic.
anyone know how good vision cartos are?

actually, come to think of it...i do like smoktech cartos better. more vapor production and TH.

i have never understood how a carto can last "weeks". i know clear liquids makes them last longer but....maybe i just vape much more than them. i go through 6 ml's a day (mostly clear liquid) and i get 3 days out of one. been using them for a year and never had a dud.

12ml through a carto seems about right. the reason why they last me weeks is because i will rotate flavors so frequently. i probably average no more than 1 or 2ml a day of the same juice.

some cartos will last seemigly forever though. my gf has had single cartos last for over a year. shes got probably 20 in rotation at any given time and only goes through 3 day though. and she prefers very low wattage too, so thatll prolong life exponentially.

After a year and a half of good Boges, I have finally gotten some that are not up to the usual standard. I used to get 3/4 days good use out of them now 2 days max.
