Boge LR cartos changed?

[trichman]

I got a new order of the Boge LR cartos and they are not like the ones I usually get here. I noticed they have a Litecig label. You have to fill these very slowly. They take a long time to absorb the liquid and the draw is slightly harder. I condom fill and have never had any problem loading 20 drops at once and follow with 10 more shortly afterward with no juice coming out the battery end while filling. I also usually drip 10-15 drops when it would get low. The draw was very easy.

The new ones won't accept that much juice new or refilling. I have had quite a bit of juice leak out thru the tube due to overfilling because I didn't realize the juice wasn't being absorbed.

Have they changed them or did I get a bad batch. I got 2 boxes and they both are like this. This is the first issue of any kind I have had with any of your products in a year.

Thanks for your help.

I want to add that I am not complaining. The filling in these cartos may be an improvement in the material and I am all for that. They were just different. I think taste is the same. Thanks

all that im aware of different on them is just the name printed on the label.

Thanks Shawn. It seems that the batting is thicker or wound tighter. They take longer to load which affects dripping time when topping off and condom filling. That is the only difference.

I just ordered those cartos, and for me, they are a much improvement over some others I've had. I like the fact the batting is wound tight. They do not seem to burn the e liquid so quickly. I also like the fact they are printed, which is nice. I don't want to mistake one for a regular and burn out my standard batteries.

They work great on the riva anyway.

I am getting used to them. I usually get 50/50 juice so it is thicker. I may try juice at 80/20 to see if it loads and wicks better in them. I had one juice that wouldn't wick very well and I got the burnt cart taste after a few puffs.

I've been using boge LR's for about a year. I have noticed distinct inconsistency from order-to-order, and sometimes within the same box. The biggest inconsistency is the draw - some are great & others make you suck your lungs out. Next is vapor production, the lighter draw ones produce far more vapor. Finally, some are much easier to fill & take up liquid quicker - Again, these are the ones with the lighter draw, which also LAST longer too. My guess is mfg. inconsistency (they're cheap & from China). It seems last somewhat looser filler keeps liquid flow better, the atty wetter, producing better vapor and less rapid atty burn-out. I've had some last a month, while others last a couple of days. Also, they are mfg'd. with tolerances, such that 2.0 ohms rating really has a range of (something like) 1.7 ohms to 2.3 ohms - and those at the upper or lower limit will perform quite differently. Soooo, I never order more than 3 packs at a time, and if I get a 'bad' batch I use them to sample different flavors. I don't think there's much Litecig can do - except complain to the mfg. about consistency ...might help.

Thank you for that info. I usually order 2 boxes at a time. For several months when I started using them I got the light draw-easy fill ones and thought they would always be like that. I started spinning them now and get the juice to go down. Only problem is topping off because I can't always do that away from home. Now I will know what to expect in the future. Thanks

Ended up with 2 out of 5 good cartos with my first order of boge 510 LR's. I definitely want to switch to cartos since they are so much cleaner and easier than carrying bottles to work. Ordered some of the new dual coils yesterday, Ive heard alot of good things about them so cant wait to try em out.

 

[shawnp1]

all cartomizers can be hit an miss sometimes as they were designed as disposable items. i have been using the dual coils myself lately and like them. they seem to work very well.

 

[trichman]

My Boges all worked and vaped fine. It was just a filling issue for me. No big deal. Shawn can you enlighten me a bit on the dual coils? How are they different? Are they LR? I'll check your site. Don't know that I've seen them there. Thanks

 

[shawnp1]

they are indeed dual coil, and yes they are low resistance as they are 1.5 ohm.
