Ok - It looks like I may have gotten the correct resistance at least because there IS a sticker that says, "510D 2.0 ohm" on the box lid, though I think a previous responder said his said "510 LR" or something to that effect. I'll have to measure the resistance at work tomorrow with a meter to confirm and use an inspection microscope to look for the marking 'cause I don't see one with the naked (albeit old - lol) eye.

That all said, I reckon I should have mentioned that I'd initially used it with an m401 (2.8V) batt thru an adapter. I'd hoped for a better hit than usual with standard, approx. 2.8-3.0 ohm actual measured resistance, m-series atties. Wasn't very good and there were a lot of air leaks, too, that made the draw way to light and airy for my tastes. Sux having to wrap your index finger around the connector joints trying for a "carburetor" effect to get more vapor and throat hit.

So...I'd also bought a real, live 510 batt to used with these if the adapter bit was no-go. I built an adapter from the 510 batt to my m-series chargers and was finally able to get it charged up. Verdict: One HECKUVA lot better! The higher voltage did the trick...which makes me wonder even more about the actual resistance of the coils in these. I've modified m-series atties by removing a turn and a half from the coiled nichrome wire and those have been super good vapor makers with great hit. If the "Boges" I got are really "2.0 ohm" atties, they should have noked like a freight train on an old western movie. More to come after I get my hands on a meter...

My only complaint using this carto - whatever make it is - with the 510 Joye batt is that it is noisy as all getout. LOTS of snapping, crackling and airflow noise. Makes it hard to get away with "nokin' in the boy's room" at work without someone hearing all the commotion since they can't smell anything.....well, other than the usual odors from that sort of location...LOL!

Well that explains it. 2.8v? I dont even know why they make those.Its cheap but that cant satisfy anyone.

Boge cartos have silver-colored threads. If your threads are any other color, they are most likely not manufactured by Boge.

Boge cartos come in LR (1.5, 1.7, 1.8Ω), Moderate (2.0 and 2.5Ω), Standard (3.1Ω) and High (3.4Ω). They are great cartomizers. Boge makes cartos with 510, kr808D-1, and 4081 connections. Different vendors have them made to their specifications and sell them under different names.

I can't imagine getting decent at 2.8v. 2.0 ohms at that voltage equals less than 4 watts and the amperage draw is probably taxing the battery to no end. Even on a Ego/Riva type battery it's still below 6 watts, still a nice vape though.

They are noisy and airy in comparison but not to a major extent imo. Someone would have to be very close to hear it. The user hears it more because it's stuck in his mouth.

Katya is of course correct.

Also do not rely on the K mark and do not rely on box labels (may or may not have ohms stated.)

1.8 IMHO is too low. If you blow out and black crap is coming out, I don't think that is cool.

The ones I have in classifieds are measured at 2ohms. I like them in the stainless steel because I think they dissapate that high heat better.

Where did you get the silver cartos? I've been looking all over for them. Good Prophets are out and so is COV.

I got a bunch from when there was stock.

Dude you can also peel of the plastic and use goof off to get rid of the gum. BUT be damn careful not to get any goof off in the cart because it is toxic of course and you also should soap off the remains from the outside, also being careful not to get any soap in the cart because toxic it may not be bust tastes like ... it will!!! There yah go... lets call it the BOGEY mod :p

tell us what company so we don't order from them. I get mine from VaporKings and they ROCK. (2.0 ohm blank 510 cartomizers)

Ummm why not? A Boge 2ohm cartomizer is a Boge 2ohm cartomizer, it doesn't matter what reseller it came from. Sounds like the carts are just fine he just is new with them and was messing around with non 510 batteries. He is also comparing atomizers to cartomizers?!? Also anyone who uses these carts knows the LRs will crackle especially with some juices.

Now onto Rykk. Again you are confusing atomizers and cartomizers. Cartomizers are use a few times and toss products. You are not going to find a BOGE stamp on a cartomizer only on their atomizers, it is an unecessary factory expense. Even the K stamp is being stopped to cut costs. Good luck pulling out filler and trying to find coils to unwind LOL. What you have described in packaging and hardware perfectly matches what the LR Boges are and Katya was kind enough to provide specific details on versions etc. When you hookup your ohmeter don't forget to first check resistance between probes; cheaper units like mine have some. If I touch the probes together it is .3ohms so I have to subtract that from the measurement. I'm sure the whole forum membership looks forward to returning tomorrow to see your "yes they are 2.0ohm" post :)

The only place that I've ever been able to get 2Ω Boge stainless steel cartos is from PureSmokers. They were out of stock for the a while so luckily my last order from them was for 100 pieces. They just restocked within the past week so they should have plenty to go around for a while.

FWIW, just about every 2ohm Boge I've tested reads 2.2 to 2.4ohms. Also, silver threads for sure, if they aren't silver threaded, they aren't Boges. :)

Bianca try what I said in my last post. Touch your probes together and I bet you will see that extra .x right there :)

Darlin', I don't know nothin' about any probes. LOL I just test them with my ProVari. Probes sound like more fun though!

Hah and I intentionally held back from making any comments like that. I think we better take this convo into private. We can show eachother our PVs :p
