It says "Made by BogeTech." at madvapes. The boxes from Nhaler, Vapor Kings and EastMall have "DeKang Inside" and "SGS" printed on them. Maybe a second company has started making them.

My EastMall shipment came very fast. I ordered late Sunday (Monday afternoon for them) and I received the package on Saturday.


Bogetech is Dekang's hardware company..

That's some awesome shipping from Eastmall :)

Quaker, they've been tested and, apparently, they're all the same.

Just an F.Y.I. I've bought the "large" 510 carto's from 4 different suppliers. They all measure the exact same resistance, between 2.8 and 3.0Ω. and they all hold the exact same amount of juice. They are identical! The only difference is whether they have a soft or hard end cap. I also bought some from NHaler. Drew says that they are 3.4Ω. The ones I received are between 2.8 and 3.0Ω just like the others. So it comes down to price and shipping time. Clouds of Vapor has them for $7.49 for 5 and with the 10% discount using "Bigbuyer" they come to $1.35 each. Shipping is only $6.00. You also don't have to wait forever to receive them as you "could" from China.

PS. I received a "Shipped" notice one hour after placing my order! Take that China!!!!

Poeia, does Eastmall send you any confirmation on shipping? I just have a confirmation from Paypal that they got my money.
Ick, I knew they were hard tip but didn't realize they glue them in. Ah well, with shipping I still paid less than a buck each. I wonder if a little denatured alcohol on the tip of a qtip would get it right off. I guess I should go to the tipsntricks thread and make sure it won't kill me. Can't see how if you wipe it out completely and let it dry.
It's glue from China that is creepy. LOL!

Eastmall doesn't even send you to an order confirmation page once your order is placed, at least in my experience. Regardless, you'll get a shipping notice email about a day or two after you place your order.

If you're still a bit hesitant, just login to Eastmall.net and check your order history. You'll likely see your order with a status of 'checking' right now. ;-)

Synth, thank you. I did just that, said it was shipped and that they attempted delivery on Monday. Guess we were not around to sign for it and gosh only knows which door or building she left the notice in.

Guess I'll take the drive to the postoffice. It's a bit off a haul but it's a nice day for a drive in the country.

It's always a nice day for a drive in the country.


It was, slowed down to watch the little calves out in the field playing. Then I had to head east into South Elgin. Can't run out of proin for the big dog so I had to pick that up and off to the market. I forgot-while shopping after five is a headache, hitting the grocer in the daytime when all the rugrats are out is worse. I am not real big on other peoples children. Occassionally I'll run across one I like, it's a huge compliment if I like your kid. The one in the checkout line behind me.....well if it weren't against the law I'd of swatted his backside good.:evil:

I got my carto stash! So between the 510's and the 808's I have well over 150 cartos. I guess I am set for a wee while. LOL!

Yep, I'd love to smack some people's kids, and then move on to the parent.

Too busy texting or what not or on the phone to see that their child is running loose, yelling loudly, and being generally destructive in behaviour, then taking offense when someone mentions to them that they have to stop thinking about themselves for a second to remember they're responsible for how much of an ... their child grows up to be.

Call me cynical.

You have choices. If you are going to leave the hard caps on, go with the condom method and the Taryn spin. It's by far the easiest (Youtube, search for leaford double)

If you would prefer a different mouthpiece, step one is to get the glued one off entirely. Hairdryer, dipping in hot water, etc. Once it is off, you can replace it with a drip tip or an empty cart (the ones with no filling that came with your atomizers are good.) If you use a cart, cut off some from the bottom otherwise it will reach the filler and crush it.

While you can still do the condom method once the end has been removed, you'd need to do it from the threaded end*. Alternatives are syringe and drip. (Youtube, DoctorVapor Care and Feeding of Cartomizers)

If you drip it, you still want to do the Taryn spin.

Always put the .... plug and bottom condom on when dripping.

Replace the condoms and let them marinate overnight for best vaping.


*I haven't tried that yet. I've been dripping and flooding. I will change my ways immediately.


ETA: Most of us seem to prefer removing the end. That's why a few suppliers are getting them with soft, removable ends (and charging more for them.) But if you use the condom method from the mouthpiece side with the soft ones, the end keeps falling off into the condom.)

Stu, you'll have to do the condom fill thing with these. For the $2 dollar savings, they really are not worth it IMO. (trust me, I bought 55 of the suckers and I am kicking myself!)
The soft top mega 510 cartos from Drew at Nhaler are far better and you can pop the top with your finger and just fill directly. I have been using one of these for a good two plus weeks and it still isn't rank. The hard glued in ones I feel like chucking after a few days so spending the extra saves me in the end. It might just be me though.

I think I entered carto hore status, I just counted and have more than 150 blank cartos from various suppliers. I kind of feel a bit ashamed.

Well, we were having all the IL scare with the ban and I wanted to make sure I'd be set for a long time should it go through. I also thought my hubby would jump on the vaping wagon alot faster. He has two beautiful chucks and really hasn't used them much yet. As soon as he is not working 70 plus hours a week I'm gonna have to get on his as$ to start vaping. Right now, I am not gonna dare tell him what to do, he's a wee bit burnt out since he hasn't had a day off since early March.

Yeah, there is the break-in period that really sucks if you have to work alot or deal with a lot of extra crap. I agree when he's not slaving away with little to no time to himself, he'll be more receptive to the idea.

LOL Amy, settle down there and use what ya got. ;)

MadVapes also has the soft tops, along with a few other vendors that I can't remember off the top of my head.
CloudsofVapor.com
ElectroNicStix.com
Nhaler.com
VaporKings.com
MadVapes.com
CigEasy.com
CigTech.com
Price $8-$10 for 5 minus any discount code savings

LiteCigUSA.net received glued in by mistake but will have soft

I'm not sure which tip RockyMountainVapor.com has.

ETA: Price war coming? Vapor Kings' new batch are from Sailbo, not Bogetech. If there are two manufacturers making them, our suppliers might get price breaks.

I haven't been vaping my Tastyfinger since I got a new order (letting it age and making me use some of my other flavors) but I just decided to load it into a brand new carto.

I used the condom method from the battery end. 25 drops. 15 drops. 14 drops. 10 drops. Okay, the last 10 didn't all fit but it took 60. Then I spun it and the top was dry again. So I added what was left in the condom plus a few more drops. It is not gurgling. It is not dripping out the bottom.

I'm going to let it marinate until morning but this was pretty incredible.
