Yes the juice is Alien Visions.

I tried Flue Cured which I thought I liked but because the taste is so clean I have quickly become sick of it LOL So that's why i'm mainly using Gorilla juice.

Don't be put off, get the clearomizer ones with the ropey coil things inside. Very very nice, I must say.


Thank you very much for the recommendation. I guess I gotta try this out! ;)

I can never get ce2's to work correctly with thick juice. And it sucks, because GJ is one of my faves. I find that after a fill or two I get a bunch of thick dark colored fluid building up that will not wick. I don't know if it's me or maybe I should try some new ce2's. I do find that a slotted carto in a tank works great.

What PV are you using? What tank system and carto? I've had nothing but failure with the Smoketec DCT and thick juice. Enlarging the hole didn't help at all, but I do have a Dremel. I'll get some new carto's if I can make this work.

Right now, a LavaTube is my main squeeze. I have 6 different tanks, but my GJ is in a j-tank. I'm using standard resistance Boges at around 4.5 volts. But none of that matters. The important thing is to get the juice to flow into the carto. Here's a video!

I do find that I need to take a dry hit every once in a while (once a session, basically) to get some extra juice to flow up to the top of the cart. Maybe I make my slots too small. I use two slots for thick juice, one for thin juice. There's a learning curve, like pretty much every new thing I've ever tried vaping related. Don't be surprised if you have to throw some cartomizers in the trash.

Also, since you have a dct, standard Boges won't work in there, you'll need the xl (extra long) ones. Or use the dcc's or resurrectors from Smoketek.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to give it another try.
What I don't understand is that this thing was hitting real stiff even when I soaked the carto manually with a syringe. It never tasted dry, more like it was clogged. Maybe I got a bad carto. The spare I got was DOA, so I couldn't compare it to anything. It was a 1.5 DC Smoketek that came with the DCT and I was running it at 3.7 and 4 volts. For some reason, it doesn't work with my Baby Bullet at all. Can't figure that one out. It won't even fire.

I have been wanting to start a thread like this. Cuz, for me the CE2 is absolutely wonderful. I can't stand polly fill cartos any longer. So dry and tasteless in comparison. You're right OP, CE2's give a full rich smooth taste. One poster complained about spitting and eliquid getting on their tongue, I had that problem for a while - the vape was so good I put up with it until I figure out the fix. Definitely do not fill too full, and when the spitting starts happening just unscrew the CE2 and blow it out, screw it back on and you're good to go.

I ordered some new ones last week and the post office lost my order, along with my new juices. So, I'm stuck using my EMDCC's and really missing my CE2's until I get some new ones.

They do crack after a couple of cleanings (alcohol) and leak at the base when that happens. But, I just toss them once that happens. Still get to run through at least 15ml of juice at least, before having to clean them. I get mine from Lecig, and they are 3ml XXL - sort of confused about what other ones are out there. I got some fluxomizers and they aren't close in performance.

I've been wanting to try these out too. I actually did a long time ago and was impressed by the taste and vapor, but they only lasted about 1 day before tasting burnt. Hoping these new ones (after a year) are vastly improved.

From reading these post I think I'll try the VISION Stone II when it comes back in stock and the Stardust as well. Is that a good start for these?

Long time boge carto fan here > I cant like em too much. I have a ton of boges patiently waiting to be filled:p

I had rather mixed feelings about them at first, mainly due to figuring out how to make em vape sensibly. Two words: middle o ring. mine have now lasted me well over 6 months (3 packs) , and after about 720ml of juice and monthly cleaning, they're still vaping strong. Try that with a carto! Nothing else out there compares IMO... Yet.

WOW, how long are you getting on each one? About....And where is the best play to buy. Many stock them, but some have better shipping (better as in cheaper-I dont care if it takes over a week) and also some have coupons, others dont.

Just figured I'd ask because I know where to get the best deals on the stuff I currently use. not sure when trying something new.
