Got my Boge Cartos...came with no instructions! Help me please?

[Landhew]

I'm thrilled to have gotten my Boge cartos in the mail today. I ripped into the package, and now I'm looking at lots of parts and no idea how to use them. My device is a Riva 510. I have 3 boxes of 5 cartos, what looks like a mouthpiece (it looks like a cartridge almost), and a syringe and needle. What do I do now?

Here ya go, this is what I use, the condom method

 

[Landhew]

Thank you!

 

[Landhew]

I have to say my beautiful pink Riva just started looking like a chimera. Pink batt, black carto, metallic light pink drip tip...lol! If someone sees me using this driving down the road they're gonna call the cops on the blonde in the mini van smoking a crack pipe.

It sounds like you ordered from CCV. The mouthpiece is a drip tip. The syringe and needle are used in one way of filling the cartos. Lots of ways to fill though. Pop the white cap out of the carto, put about 1ml of juice into the syringe, inject The juice into the carto around the edges. Let it sit for awhile then top off the carto. Put the drip tip on in place of the cap. The drip tip is optional for easy topping off.

Alternative to the condom fill is a top fill.

Remove the translucent end caps (condoms) and you should see a standard cartomizer -- 510 battery connector at one end, and the mouthpiece at the other.

The mouthpiece has a white rubber insert, hole in the middle. Pop it out with a paperclip, tack, fork tine,...

Put a tissue over the battery end, lean the carto about 45 degrees (diagonal), drip liquid into it. Rotate the carto a little and repeat, twice, so you have juice saturating all the filler.

Wipe the tube, blow through the mouth end into the tissue, to clear any excess liquid.

Put in on the PV and vape. Replacing the white rubber end cap is your choice -- if you have problems with getting liquid in your mouth do it, but after a while you get the hang of it, and it's easier to just leave out the rubber tip.

Syringe and needle aren't needed with standard boge -- you just want to thoroughly soak the poly filler surrounding the central tube, top it off when you notice it is running dry (less vapor/flavor). After a bit it becomes easy to refill with them still attached, once you get the hang of how much liquid to put in.

On the first fill you may need to top it off again fairly fast. What I find is that the first draw or two tends to pull the initial liquid in, and it needs a bit more to really get going.

I condom filled for months, but found top fill simpler and faster over time, less mess. Both ways work fine.

Just curious, you really found top filling to be faster than the condom method?

 

[markfm]

Absolutely. Since I tailpipe, the mouthpiece is open, fast to top it off. With condom fill I always had excess juice to clear, thread cleaning, condom cleaning, while with top fill I often don't even remove the carto from the pv, very fast to drop new liquid in, it's become very quick.
Both ways are fine, top fill became my habit over time. I vape about 6 ml/day on a vv pv, so fast and discrete became important.

I just pop off the end cap (if it's a soft cap, this is MUCH easier) and then drip 3 drops on the SIDE and NOT in the middle, turn it, 3, turn it, and let it sit, then I do that until it ahs about 25-30 drops. Then look in the middle and if you can see right through it, it isn't flooded and it's ready to go!

It is faster because it's less messy and easy to do. I wasted a lot of juice with the condom method.

 

[Landhew]

I condom-filled first, made a mess! I'll try the other ways, lol!

I did order them from CCV. They seemed to have the best price, plus a coupon code!

... drip 3 drops on the SIDE and NOT in the middle, turn it, 3, turn it, and let it sit, then drip 3 drops on the SIDE and NOT in the middle, turn it, 3, turn it, and let it sit, then drip 3 drops on the SIDE and NOT in the middle, turn it, 3, turn it, and let it sit, then celebrate another birthday!

No thank you, I'll continue to use the CM!

 

[Credo]

Not sure if this already got posted but I gave the method a try and love it! Really nice if you like to fill a bunch at once and go....

I do this the first fill, and replace the flat tip with a drip tip. After that I just keep them wet. It's good to keep the vertical coil cartos like the Boge good and wet if you can. The drip tip makes it easy to pull off without tools and stuff and inspect or drip in more drops.

Tried the condom method, but I have to agree that the top method is actually painless and not messy at all.

 

[Levitas]

Honestly, I don't get the mess? Are we talking about having to wipe the sides and give it a quick blow into a napkin before it's ready? Are you guys spilling the condom afterwards? If there is any juice left in the condom, I generally use that to top off the carto when it needs it. But, whatever works, works.

I think I pushed the condom too hard and it shot RIGHT out of the carto LOL

The best and easiest way that I have found to fill cartos is to use a syringe to fill from the bottom up; starting with the needle inserted all the way to the bottom of the carto, squeeze out a little juice then pull it out and turn the carto a lttle and re-insert and inject a little more juice, then raise the needle up from the bottom a little and inject a little each time moving it around the carto. As soon as you the juice saturating at the top of the wicking material stop. Next look through the tube in the middle of the carto, if it is clogged (can't see all the way through it) get a straight pin and slide it in and out of the tube, wiping the excess juice off on a tissue, until you can see through it. If you can see through it and it does not gurgle when you draw on it you are ready to go. If it still gurgles even though you can see through it keep sliding the pin through it and wiping off the excess until it stops gurgling. If you fill it right you will not have to use a pin to remove excess juice in the tube. Once it 's filled I just top it off occasionally by dripping directly in the top. You can then start vaping immediately, no need to wait for it to soak in (it is already drenched). After filling like this a couple times you will know exactly how much juice to use. I've found this to be the fastest, easiest, and cleanest way to fill cartos.

The 3 boxes and drip tip and syringe gave it away. lol They are one of my "local" vendors. Good to do business with.

i agree with this. i think the people that make a mess out of it are going way to fast. i also think you can get way more liquid in a carto that way then you can with the top fill method. well at least in a reasonable amount of time anyways. i do use the top fill method sometimes in between the condom fills to top it off though.
