Has anyone experienced bad taste from boge tank 510 standard size lr and sr cartomizers? I just bought 30 of them and they taste really nasty to the point where its very uncomfortable to vape. I have filled them up properly, tried different juices and no change. Are there any tweeks to be made or just a bad cartos?

I gave up on cartos 8? months ago because of the QC issues. Supposedly they're okay now but from what I hear it's still hit and miss. From what I understand the carto filler nowadays is much tighter. After filling have you tried to "thermometer shake" towards the carto batt end? Add more drops afterwards. Do the shake 2-3 times and see if that helps. When doing the shake make sure there's a condom on the end.

You could at least offer him a napkin to wipe the juice off the walls...and carpet...and couch...and dog...

First fill of a boge carto I prime it with vodka until it runs out of the bottom. Then blow out as much of the vodka as possible (don't let droplets get in your eyes). Then use the drip-fill "thremo-shake" technique. It will take a few puffs to burn off the residual vodka but so far I've had 100% success rate with this method. (I use 70% VG juice)

I use a regular condom method fill and make sure it is saturated, and drip fill often if I am not using a tank, which I normally do.
I have had 2 bad cartos out of the box in the last month. I have about 10 boxes; just like getting new bad coils for a clearo, it can happen they are mass produced.
It could be possible you have some from the QC problem days? I dunno. If you are having that big of a run in multiple boxes I'd question the retailer you got them from. They would probably like to make good and get your repeat business rather than not.

Other than that I can only assume you have checked your voltage etc.
