Boge Carts - First Time Fill Idea

[onename]

OK, so was thinking last night about brand new Boge cart and filling it. What I thought was get a 30ml bottle of your favorite juice pop cap off the juice bottle and also top cap off the Boge. Drop the entire cart into the bottle and let sit over night?

What are your thoughts on this - good or bad?

Only thing that came to my mind was tainting the juice with the metal on the outer case of the new Boge

Yeah, don't know if I'd go that far..

Because???

I'm thinking it would mess your bottle of juice up. And overfill the carto too. It is very possible to flood a carto just like an atty and that would definitely kill it for sure.

I'm lucky I use a bottom feeding mod so all I need to do is pop on a freshly opened carto, do a few decent squonks (the act of squishing the bottle to feed the juice up) do a few pulls on it without hitting the firing button and the carto is good to go. I am really spoiled that way

 

[Dusty_D]

Because???

You hit on one and possibly the main reason, the metal of the carto reacting with the juice would potentially "taint" your juice. Two, you would over saturate your wicking material. Contrary to popular belief, the wicking material around the coil does not have to be "dripping" wet. Just wet enough to keep the material from being singed. Three, when you do over saturate the wicking material, it swells up, and constricts the air pathway that you need to take a puff, resulting in an super tight draw..

Hope this helps.

 

[Lori68]

Perfectly put into words dusty

Probably would be super messy too, getting the filler back in the cartridge I don't imagine would be too fun.

 

[kanadiankat]

Not to mention that it would likely destroy the heating element inside....

Yes, ty Dusty_D. That was what I was looking for is a more detailed answer.

LOL, I don't believe I stated I would take the filler out but OK....

 

[Cobber]

What about a 510 adapter fir the juice bottle? Screw on a carto and squeeze

I see no issues, provided the carto is stainless, and you can handle the mess while blowing out the carto. As for the heating element, well doesn't the carto soak in ejuice while in a DCT?

As for tainting the eliquid, again, I refer to the DCT. You may want to poor just enough juice in a separate container to fill your carto.

Yes, that is what I was thinking just enough to soak it and this is only a thought for a new cart, was just playing with ideas and could only come up with the taint from the metal. I do use the condom method right now and the boge has been running for over a week with no issues from topping up.

Never hurts to ask and get more thoughts that just one eh, thus this forum...

Cheers!

The heating element in a Boge carto sits in the center, with the filler spooled around it. When you fill one from the top - you put the juice in the filler - not down the center. The condom method does this automatically (sucks the liquid into the filler from the bottom).

The carto tanks work along the same method - but bring the liquid in from holes in the sides.

Again bringing into play the suggestion that you should never flood the centre tube. One could then say, I could blow the juice out, and then use it. But you have then effectively weakened the centre tube to the point where it could collapse and constrict the air-way, thus leading to an unsatisfactory vape.

It is definitely do-able, just not recommended. But hey, cartos are cheap. Give it a shot! It may very well work.. if it does not, you're out about $2. Carto + juice of-course.

 

[TrueNorthist]

Call me weird but I dont have any real trouble filling cartos anymore. I rarely get any on my fingers now. It is slow and fussy, but so am I. I have a old picture frame holder that I yoinked the pic out of and lay the cartos in for filling. Keeps them at the right angle and all I have to do is rotate them as I fill. I just have to keep an eye out for my little sabre toothed tiger and pop her picture back in before she notices it missing.

 

[BuzzKilla]

when i first started i was a carto fiend...

soaking the whole carto in a bottle of juice just means more clean up... meaning more time and unnecessary waste of juice...

best method i settled on was:
-keep silicon cover(connector side) on
-fill predetermined # of drops from mouthpiece side.
-put silicon cover(mouthpiece side) back on
-let sit on shelf for a while to soak in
-vape

only takes a few minutes to fill enough cartos for the whole day, and it's a no mess method... as long as you have figured out how many drops your carto can take without over saturating it...

no mess = no waste...
less time filling cartos, means more time using cartos

Bad ..... fill your syringe and fill the carto. Would take less time than letting a carto sit inside a bottle overnight, which you would then have to fish out later and clean up, and pray that it is still functional.

 

[DaveP]

I like this method.

 

[ChellyNelly]

Why, Dave? It makes such a mess and wastes juice, floods the cartomizer too which isn't great. I've heard of it runing cartos and batteries
