Cartomizer....rye or the kaiser

[CloudCuckooMan]

So I have a quick question about cartos. Specifically Boge LR 510's. I've generally had good experiences with cartos. I fill up with the condom method and let them sit for 20 mins or so. Its always been good. Recently I got a 5 pack that just taste nasty. I have vaped on them for awhile to see if I needed to break them in or something but that didn't help. I've never had to break in a carto before either. The website said they were Boge...they don't have anything written on them they are just all black. But I think I remember getting all black ones before...anyway....Did I just get a bad batch? The juice flavor is there.but underneath a taste of...wet rag or something.

You might have gotten a different resistance than you expected. Anything on the box or do you have a multimeter?

I buy 3.0 ohm for 5.0v, 2.0 ohm for my 4.8v ni-mh batteries, and 1.8 ohm for 3.7v. I got some 1.5's once when I expected 2.0 and put them on a 4.8v battery... tasted pretty bad.

Hmmm...well it seems most places I order from have two options. Standard 510 Cartos and LR 510 Cartos. So maybe some vendors have a different default ohm for their LR cartos? That would make sense I guess.Let me look. The ones that taste bad were from NLV and their site says their LR's are 2.0-2.2 and most of the LR's I've gotten in the past were from Puresmoker and theirs are....lol i accidentally typed pukersmoker.com while trying to go there....theirs are 1.9 to 2.1 Does that make sense? 2.0-2.2 on an Ego tastes bad but 1.9-2.1 taste fine. That can't be right. Right? I've used a standard resistance carto on my ego and it didn't taste bad. So...i'm not understanding something

No. Those are close enough that they should be really close to the same. I've had really good luck with consistency and flavor with the boge cartos. I suppose a bad batch is possible, and I remember reading about some that had tighter filler on another forum back in June. The solution for those was to let the juice soak in longer than usual.

weird. well if these new fluxomizer deluxe's actually perform like the old ce2's and don't leak I probably won't need any cartomizers ever again. got some on the way now
