Boge Cartomizer Thick Juice

[wrecks]

I just switch from tanks to Cartomizer and boy the a difference. Warmth and flavor consistency. Alot more maintenance though.

Is there a trick to fill thicker ejuice? That is my only issues. I have certain dark juice at 80/20 and it seems to just sit on top of the filler for a long time. I would spin it around to help it soak to the bottom, but I know it hasn't absorbed right, because I get an immediate burn taste.

80 VG/20VG? That's pretty thick for a carto.( It's also a bit too thick for tanks, BTW). I use type B on 3.7v and I love them, but 70PG/30VG is as thick as I dare put in the tank.

Cartos and tanks like 80/20 or 70/30 PG/VG.

You can also thin them out to desired consistency with a few drops pf distilled water or vodka or plain PG.

I fill my Boge cartos with a syringe and an 18g sharp needle. Then I just drip to top off.

 

[wrecks]

Nah, it's 80PG/20VG. Maybe I distilled water.. Just didn't want to dull out the flavors.

 

[Katya]

Then it should be OK. What kind of cartos are you using?

 

[wrecks]

Boge LR 510 carts. Juice was double flavor coke. I would drip 2-4 drip initially and it just sits at the top, unless I do that twirl trick. Maybe I got to be more patient and was anxious to use them since I got them yesterday.

I like the type-b tanks, but they are inconsistent for me. Will only use them when on the go.

If your juice is heavily sweetened and thick, it may just not agree with cartomizers... I use light, barely sweetened and almost colorless juices. All those additives just clog cartos and atomizers.

Try filling with a syringe and needle, if you can, or poke the filler gently with a sewing needle to facilitate saturation. The Boges take ~ 30 drops of eliquid--if you underfill, they will burn on contact.

Will give that a show. Don't have a high gauge syringe, but will try the needle trick.

Was wondering if I warming up the bottle under hot water will help kind of thin it out initially.

80pg/20 vg is not a thick juice- I use 50/50 and they work fine. Don't use any water.

Never tried doing this. It should be warm enough in Hawaii to make your juice nice and thin....

Aloha!

r77, it's the viscosity of the juice that matters most, not the strict PG/VG ratio. Good Prophets' 100% VG juices are thinner than some of the PG/VG blends from other vendors...

Colorings and sweeteners make juices thick too...

I always wonder why people mix at 50/50. More vapor?

More vapor, also more suitable for direct dripping; you need a thicker juice for that.

Some people like the sweetness of VG.

Yeah, the nights are cool...

I use a bunch of Boge 2Ω cartos with everything up to 100% VG from Alien vision .... No problem you just have to be patient.

I like to fill them over time and let them sit overnight before I fire them off for the first time.

 

[Godzilla]

once you have filled them once, the subsequent fills soak in a whole lot better, so just be patient as someone else mentioned. Sometimes, with thicker juice, it takes a good 20 minutes to allow 30+ drops to soak into a new boge carto. Soaking overnight is not a bad idea either. I find boge cartos to be one of the best, most consistent vapes for the money.

I DIY, vape all the way to 0PG (likely about 90% VG, there's some alcohol in the flavorings), no issue.
On a fresh carto, pop the top off, tissue on the connector, fill the mouth end to the top, let it sit and soak. Repeat -- after two rounds it should be OK for a couple of puffs, then top it off one last time and you ought to be fine.

For the first fill I use the condom method to dampen and move the filler a bit. There on, topping them up with drops is fine. Using 70/30 PG/VG

I always do my 1st fill with a 1ml syringe with a 21G needle.
Boge 510 LR can hold 0.9ml.
Refill are made with 7ml bottle with the dropper, as soon as I feel flavor change.
My base vary from 50%pg 40%vg 10%H2O to a 80%pg 15%vg 5%H2O
