Boge Carto not working like it should?

[shizzz]

Ok i got my Boge F16 in today and i have filled the carto up with juice and saturated it pretty dang good, but i am having an issue. I keep getting a really dry burnt taste after about 4 puffs... I am using a 65(VG)/35(PG) blend... The only way that i can get that full flavor taste is dropping more in the carto and letting it soak up again. I have tried shaking the carto and i know its full cause i can see its really saturated with the liquid when i take the drip tip off.. What do i need to try? the carto has 2 holes punched in it. I have already filled the tank thinking it was working is the liquid to thick? Please help!!

EDIT: I just took the condom that comes on the end of the carto and i covered the bottom of where it screws on to my device so no air could be drawn through. Then i took a couple quick puffs on the tank without it screwed in to my cig and it has definitely pulled in more liquid. I saw some bubbles. Maybe i need another hole or a bigger hole? How can i punch a bigger hole? Whats a common tool that i might have laying around to do this?

Are you using a Boge Carto TANK or just the carto? They do both.
First fill on a Tank carto, I normally Slow drip about 30 drops of liquid. 10-stop, 5-stop, 5-stop.... You have to let the NEW material saturate and that takes time. Proper saturation takes 15-20 minutes. Yes you can FORCE fill it with a syringe, but it still needs to disperse.

I vape 50/50 with no issues

If you are trying to use a Punched carto without a tank.............scotch tape over the 2 holes

I am using
Boge F16 Cartomizers (2.7 - 3.1 ohm) and Boge F16 Cartomizer Tank (Clear)

I waited at least 30 minutes before i even tried to vape it. The first couple tokes were really perfect but its just the ones after that that suck. I was just watching this video A PBusardo Tutorial - How I slot my cartos!.wmv - YouTube and i wonder if i should try to do it. i have a Dremel and it looks like hes making the holes pretty big. I bought 15 carto replacements so i have a couple to mess with. What you think?

I just realized that the carto that came with the tank is reading 1.7 on my provari. I am burning it at 4.4 on volts. Is that too high? maybe thats why it does not taste that good?

Quite possibly. Turn down the voltage to 3.7V or so and try it out.

yeah i did right after i posted but still the same issue. I am trying to figure out an easy way to get the juice from the tank back into the bottle so i can try another carto. I don't want to waste my juice

Try sliding the cartomizer down about halfway into the tank like you would to refill it. Put a drip tip on top of the tank and hold it there tight, then try pouring the eliquid out of the tank through the drip tip. That was the easiest way I found to empty them when I was using carto tanks.

Worked perfect! What do you think about slotting holes with a dremel like in that video? These cartos already have holes punched in them. i was just going to make them bigger maybe instead of the dremel just use a nail or something?

A regular sized carto holds approx. 1 ml juice. Even on it's own without a tank, if properly first filled, it should last at least an hour or two of good Vaping. I use the condom method for first fill. As for your PG/ VG ratio it shouldn't present any problems with your tank.
Realize although the upper portion of the carto may look filled the bottom portion is prolly not. Try the Taryn method- using centrifugal force to force the liquid into the bottom of the carto.

Ok so after tinkering with it for a couple of hours i figured that i would try to make the holes bigger. once i did i get a really good flavor from the juice. It seems that the hits are kind of air'ey though. I guess it just because i went from an iClear to this with the iclear you have to take a drag and with this you just have to lightly inhale for it to work. Thanks for the help
