Try the clear dual coils too, but use a drip tip instead of the whistle tip they come with. these things are off the charts GOOD!

Lol, i did the same exact thing ( i got a drip tip for fee with my order)

the whistle tip sucks, big time... little airflow and it sucks the juice right into my mouth... and the flavor seems off with it, but it could be that i was sucking up 30mg juice... burns like hell

When i tried the drip tip i was in heaven with it.

and hoosier also has the clear ones for pretty cheap. and you can buy as many or as little as your want (price is per carto)

another huge thing you can do to help yourself enjoy cartos.

between cleaning you might find the draw getting a little hard.

take your needle (mine is about 1 inch maybe a little bigger) and stick it in the tube, be careful not to break the wire.) not sure why this helps but it clears out the tube and it starts hitting great again.

I have some boge 2ohm cartos that I have been using for a while and they don't give the flavor they use to. is this normal? i cleaned them by soaking in iso alcohol blew them out and let dry over night. They seem to still be working properly, still sizzle some and good vapor, but lacking in flavor. Is there anything I can do besides replace them?

I had a hard time getting my cartos really clean unless I boil them. For some reason, they would hold onto flavors if I rinsed them out in PGA. So maybe try that? That's what worked for me anyways. :)
 
I am not fond of cleaning anything out with alcohol, I wont put anything in my carto's that I wouldnt want to ingest. . So, I am sticking with vodka.

BUT, that said, you need to make sure they are TOTALLY dry- because if they are not you are still getting some residue- have you tried to use an ultrasonic jewerly cleaner?

you can try boiling them, or using the ultra sonic cleaners. I haven't tried the ultrasonic cleaner yet. but i will lol, I've heard great things about it.

the thing with cartos is that you can't clean the coil like you can with an atty. so when they get covered with build up it's hard to get it off.
