Boge cartos, VERY little vapor

[zerominusone]

I have some brand new Boge cartos (got 'em in the mail yesterday) and I filled one with about 20 drops of Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured (100% PG) and then about 20 drops of Red Oak Tennessee Cured (100% VG). I've been mixing these two with no problems since I've started vaping. Anyways, there is a ton a flavor when I vape it but hardly any vapor at all. Anyone know why or how I can fix it? Oh I filled another with Cinna-Rollz from digitalciggz that is a 50/50 mix and I get a ton of flavor and vapor from it.

Sounds like you might have flooded it. I use Boge 2.0 cartos, and generally fill with @ 25 drops of juice. (Sounds like you filled with about 40 drops.) Make sure the center tube is clear by blowing out any excess liquid.

I remove the mouthpiece and drip down the sides until it stops absorbing. I didn't think it had too much (flooded) but I blew it out from both ends anyway. No juice came out, only air and after I blew through both ends, the vapor amount isn't any better.

What battery are you using Zerominusone sir? Gen 1 or 2?

 

[zerominusone]

It does the same on both kinds of batts.

That's odd Zerominusone sir. Could be two reasons. 1- not making good contact with the post, 2- if you have a multimeter around check the ohms, could be a bad carto.

it sounds to me like your'e adding way too much. as far as i've always known 808 reg. sized carto's hold about 1ml-20drops.

when i fill my boge lr 2.0 carto's i fill them with about 15 drops to start, take a few puffs, and then drip another 3 or 4 in. and then drip from there.

If there's no juice sitting puddled on the top and none coming out of the battery hole, it's full. I've done it like this since I started and never had any problems ever before, with none of my cartos. Some of the Kanger ones I got when I first started would only hold about 20 drops but all the other ones I've used (Boge, SI, a few others) all held around 30-35 drops.
Anyway, it may just be a bum carto. I'll fill another one with my juice and hope for the best. Thanks everybody for trying to help.
Oh, Morandir835, it would only work with one of my SI batteries so I popped it up a little with a nail and it worked.
