i've been using the same boge i got a week ago constant chain vaping.

edit: from 310 vapers, same old condoms and same white disc.

I pretty much chain cape myself. Bought my first pack of 2 ohm carts, using two of them ( different juices) for about two weeks now without issue. Ordered some Xxl, hope they're just as good. Battery is ego twist at 4.0-4.2. Sometimes I'll put them on my jaunty neo batteries ( I think 3.7 v) when I switch to an atomizer periodically, but the boge is just IMHO the best cape I've ever had.

Ok, so those of you getting more than 3 days out of the boges -

what wattages are you all running your cartos at?


I figure sharing wattage is more useful for figuring out failures and stuff rather than "i have this PV, this carto and this voltage" because it takes all the variables into account with one number. If we can get some wattage/longevity data maybe we can actually start to draw a clearer picture.

I usually run my boges at 6.7-8.3w.
3-5 days is usually my best, sometimes less than a day with non-carto friendly juice.

Calculator here - punch in any of the two variables.

What about you?


what's the best alternative currently?

I'm not sure to be completely honest. I've tried smoketech, kanger, ikenvape, resurrectors, a bunch of no-names and I always came back to the boges but now I'm not really sure what to do. I'd absolutely use nothing but Ikenvape fusions though if they were more consistently available.

I think I'm gunna go on a clearomizer kick for awhile, and never buying boges again purely out of principle.

I run LR boges at 3.7 volts. Depending on carto resistance and battery charge, its between 6-7 Watts.

Using a carto by itself not in a tank has always yielded less run time in my case. Getting 30ml through one in a tank and maybe 10ml without a tank in my experience.

yes yes i know higher than what is recommended to be safe wattage...especially with stacked batteries.
but it's what works for me, okay?

by the way, only these boges can handle that. i tried a few 1.8 - 2.0 ohm attys and they all got fried at 6v.

i really feel like these are the highest quality cartos i've used thus far.

i got some boges from a coop and some boges from surevapes and they are all the ones without the separate buttplug (the one piece bottom cap) and they have all so far been hit and miss, more miss than hit. most meter at 2.8 or 2.9 and a few have metered at 2.2-2.4, they are all supposed to be 3.0, i know there are small differences in the resistances and ill tolerate .1 or .2 either way, but .6-.8 off? additionally, these are only lasting me about 1 tank (regular phiniac) when the ones i was getting before were lasting upwards of 5 tanks. ill be trying kangers very soon myself. i dont care about the extra cost if they last longer, its worth it.

Well, the Xxl boges came, and there,s a slight plastic taste. Really discouraging. I'll buy more of the standard size ones that I LOVE and see if they're consistently good. I'm not willing to spen d $$$$ on any more xxl's though.

I'm on brand new XXls myself (tonight) since my SR order came through. Two of them are rocking...not sure about the other 23 but I am hopeful.

I usually run about 5 to 8 tanks in rotation with boge SR cartos, 3ohms, I vape anywhere from 7.5 to 10.5 watts, depending on the juice. I had about 20 boxes from Vapor kings, and about another 10 from Surevapes, some juices kill a cartos in 3 days, I have one particular juice that kills a cartos, well renders it useless, with in hours. On the flip side, I recently just pulled a cartos from a tank the other day that had gotten me a solid 2 months of use, and just today I pulled another cartos, that wasn't dead, but just in prep for a trip, that had given me a solid 6 weeks, the cartos that got me 2 months was a bananna juice, usually vaped at about 9.5 watts, the other was a watermellon juice that usually was vaped at 10 watts.

I've used Boge cartos exclusively since I started vaping over 14 months ago. I started with lr's for my ego batts. Now I use sr's for my VV mods. I have ordered them from a dozen vendors over time. Now I order them directly from BogeTech. I have noticed no difference since day 1. Infrequently, I'll run into one that won't wick properly, sometimes a couple in a row. It's just the luck of the draw. There will be some inconsistencies, but, in general, they have always worked very well for me. I have stuck with them for a long time and will continue to do so.

They don't have a site. You have to go through alibaba.com and deal with a rep from the company.

Thanks. Someone with a shop here bought 1000 boges at ali b. aba and the are fakes.. really bad ones because they dont even work or work for about 5 hits.. So there are useless. I gues it wasnt a rep from the company she dealt with.
