General Carto Question

[mooreted]

These cartos have a thicker veneer on them. They fit tight in the cone and cut off the air flow.

 

[BigJohnJ]

That is true mooreted, in fact I had to order a new cone when I switched to the Boge Carto's. My original cone was for 1st edition Riva's and my batteries were SE. I guess I just need to figure out which carto to use, LR or SR 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 and move to lighter juices and see how that works. I do thank everyone who chimmed here all your answers and comments were helpful.

tj99959, I have tried that little trick and it does work on some of them. However, I have had a few that I just couldn't get a paper clip to push thru. It felt like the little tube had moved and I was hitting metal at the bottom instead of going all the way through and coming out the other end. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yup, the paper clip is hitting a big ole lump of charred juice that has attached it's self to the coil. I use a sewing needle, others use those plastic toothpicks that you get at Wallies, just peck at that lump of juice and break it up.
So what if you ruin a carto or two doing it, you were just going to toss them in the trash anyway. You will save far more than you ruin.
To tell you how well it works, the carto that I am vaping right now has been on my PT since July.

I run an unbent paper clip through mine every couple of days just for good measure. Makes them last longer.

That's kinda gross, TJ, lol.

Since I've been cleaning mine out w/ very hot microwaved water w/ a syringe- The center hole has stayed extremely open for me.

Also, cleaning the whole area at the battery thread area- keeping those little holes open and lifting the post up, has made a good performance diff for me.

Generally, higher pg, lightly colored juices are best for cartos. Yes, you can use the opposite and still get a good vape but, your carto won't last as long. As well as clogging it quicker.

Well just put a new boge carto on last evening. used it for about an hour. made sure the center hole stayed open using a paperclip. after a hour of vaping this morning it is now completely plugged. I pulled the stuffing out and it looks like the center tube thing melted causing the thing to plug up. I could not even get a sewing needle to go through the end after removing it from the carto. Looks like it is goodbye to boge after these six are used up and back to Geniune Joye. Thanks for all the help you all have been. I just don't understand why the center tube would melt like that.

 

[carpedebass]

Yet another reason why I can't stand Boge cartos. Sorry they didn't work for you. They sure didn't work for me either in ANY sense of the word. Lots of folks love 'em...I have yet to see why for myself.

 

[BigJohnJ]

So what brand do you use carpedebass?

 

[mooreted]

That's not good to hear. I just ordered a pack of Boge's.

 

[BigJohnJ]

mooreted I hope you have better luck with them than I have. I have ordered from 4 different places thinking a different supplier might have better product but they all seem the same. I do like the price but I am going back to the joye carto's. they cost more but in the long run will be cheaper.

So what brand do you use carpedebass?

May all day vape is eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartos from Vaping Zone. My evening vape are seal modded Fluxomizer Deluxes from GotVapes.

 

[BigJohnJ]

Thanks, I may have to move on to the dual core style. have been reading a lot about them on here.

 

[BigJohnJ]

ooooops. dual coil..............

 

[carpedebass]

ooooops. dual coil..............

I make that mistake all the time. Give the Vaping Zone EMDCCs a shot. You can order one at a time or by boxes of five. You do have an eGo right? If not, you may need a 510 to eGo adapter.

I've gotten all my Bogelr's, since March, from a reputable supplier- Vapor Kings. Not even one was bad, they last very long, and they OHM at 2.0 exactly.

Excellent!! I'm glad they're working for ya'!

I have used 3.0 ohm Boge's for over 6 months and guess I am fortunate as to have had no clogging nor hard draws at all.....and I use only 100% or 75% VG juice........

When filling I make sure no juice goes in the center hole, and when topping off, again, no juice goes into the center hole....

each carto lasts from 5 to 7 days and still works well, just looses flavor.....never any burnt taste as I keep them wet.....

 

[BigJohnJ]

I am using the Riva so it is close to the Ego. I have tried the 3.0 Boge's, got lot better flavor but still plugged up in less than 24 hours. I do have some old RY4 sitting here that is 100% PG. I will give them one last try with that juice and see if I get the same results as I have. My everyday juice is from either MadVapes or FSUSA and is either a 70 to 30 ratio PG and VG or 50/50 so I will try the 100% PG just to be sure.
