Getting frustrated with my cartos.

[Nodnerb]

I've been using a tank the past few weeks with boge 2.0 cartos. I've gone through 2 new cartos in the past week. They seem to only be lasting me a few days. I'm using up liquid like normal but am losing flavor and there is no crackle. I try prime the thing like crazy to get something out of it but it just seems dead....again. Not much for bubbles when I try prime but it seems fairly dry. There is vapor but it's virtually flavorless and if I take off the tip it is dry. I dripped a few drops into the filler and it still tasted flavorless and no crackle. Am I just getting unlucky with bad cartos? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've used the tanks for a while now, I usually have better luck completely filling the carto to start the draw process from the tank. If the carto gets dry, it's not usually long before it's pretty useless.

You don't say how you're punching, how many holes, what type of juice?

When you initially fill a carto, use the method below to fill the carto and get it completely saturated. Let it sit for about 5 minutes with the condom on it. Don't depend on the tank to do that for you.

I been using two juices, one is 100%pg, one is 70pg/30vg. One carto never worked well at all and that was a pre drilled(two holes) carto from happy vaper. The one i have in now is a few days old and I drilled one hole using a drill press. I've heard people having better wicking with one hole. Worked great for 3 days or so and now it sucks.

I do fill the cartos using the condom method before inserting into the tank and occasionally drip into the tip end now and again to make sure the whole thing stays wet.

Boge or Dual Coil?

 

[Nodnerb]

They're Boge 2.0.

I know there's been alot of back and forth mixed feelings with the Boge cartos. I personally don't get good results with them in my tanks unless I slot them. If I get a few days out of one I feel lucky.

I've heard good things about the dual-coil and ce2's, I just got a few to test out, hopefully someone else here can chime in also, hth!

Also, check out Ikenvape Fusions. They are the best cartos I have ever used; I punch & use them in my tank.

Cartos are cheap. I use them for three days usually before I pitch'em. My wife just screws on a freshie every morning. I buy in bulk.

Yep!!! Cartos and atty's can be a crapshoot, and cartos being cheaper, are the "best-bang-for-the-buck."

Eff it, just stock up!!!

Alright, thanks for the replies.

...another thing to consider...as a relatively new vaper, you may be experiencing the dreaded taste bud death...this occurs to almost everyone at some point, a month or so into their vape adventure as the taste buds attempt to renew themselves from being burnt by the funkies...results in not being able to taste much, at all, of anything...fortunately, it usually lasts less than a week...lemon water/lemonade, (real)fruit juices and just plain ol' water can ofter alleviate this problem(sometimes) as can vaping a menthol juice...may/may not be your problem but it is worth considering...........
