I've been using a Boge F16 Tank with its cartos for about six months now, on all kinds of devices including my Vamo, and usually at around 8.0 Watts (or 3.68 Volts).
Though they seem to snap, crackle, and pop a good deal, they've always worked very well for me. I do saturate them pretty well. With the carto in the empty tank, I fill the carto itself until the
juice starts weeping out of the two holes in the carto and into the tank. Then, I fill the tank and vape away.
Of dozens of cartos, I've probably only had 2 or 3 that were duds. I've had so much success with them, that I've taken to using them in my U-DCT Tanks instead of the CE2 DCT-2 No Filler Pre-Punched Cartos intended for those tanks.
I find that once the F16 cartos are nice and saturated, they work really well. I've got an F16 tank and carto on my eVic right now that I've been
vaping for almost three weeks.
