Boge LR cartos?

[karmakatie]

I have and love Boge LR cartos, but I am starting to notice that some of them just are not wanting to absorb liquid!


Anyone else having this issue and did you find a fix?

The types of juice (dark or light) will affect the absorbtion but will eventually wick entirely. Also, if doing the condom method, initially the juice won't saturate the filler like that of using the syringe method. The idea of course is to saturate it entirely without excess and have found (the hard way) the best method is using a syringe. In fact, even after using it for a few days and filling by dropping in the top, I'll go back and use a syringe again, albeit not much is required.

It doesn't seem to matter what juice. I filled one up the morning with Boba's Bounty and it sucked it up and that stuff is thick. Later went to fill up a new flavor that is 17% PG and thin, it didn't want to suck it up. Oh I do use the condom fill method.

I have plenty of syringes, I will try that next time I load a new one and see if that helps. I have been using alot of Resurectors lately and they abosorb like crazy, so it may be I just got spoiled to that

I've noticed this too. I don't know if the filler is rolled tighter or if it's a different material. But there's definitely 'something' different going on with at least some of them.

Yes, agreed....I too have seen variations from Boge to Boge...must be how tight the filler is wound when placed in position. The syringe method (after lots of trial and error) has been the most consistent although some cartos seem to take a bit more time in absorbtion rate.

I have a Boge LR that wouldn't saturate until I dropped in a tank over the weekend.

Thanks for the input guys, I was thinking it was my imagination! They act like they have an oil residue or coating on the wicking material, the juice just sits there...... I really hope they don't screw these up.....

I don't care for the boge because they seem so tightly packed. I only use them because I have vv devices. I use a syringe to fill and it seems to work fine. I would rather have the smoketech but I want stainless steel for my tanks and the only ss smoketechs I can find are 1.7. Madvapes does carry them in 2.5 but they are the black stickers. I'm so tired of trying to get the stickers off that it's no longer worth it and when I use them, I don't use a tank. I'm hoping sometime (soon) they will come out with a higher resistance smoketech in stainless steel. I know the dual coil smoketechs come xl and in ss but I don't like using them in tanks cause they seem to flood so much.

I've switched to smoktech dual coils - lord I love 'em. But with any carto, including Boge, I've found that the best way to pack 'em tight with juice is taryn spin. Drives it right thru no matter how dense.

Boges definitely have a tighter filler than the Smoktechs...first fill on a Boge takes a bit of patience to get it properly saturated and a bit more patience when topping up...in my experience, that is just the way it is...........
