So far they are awesome. I've had nothing but troubles with boges. I get 2 days max out of boges. I've been through 4 packs and only 1 has lasted a week. All the rest were done in less than a day to 2 days max. I seem to be the only person that gets flooding and dry hits at the same time with boges. For whatever reason, they just don't work for me and I've tried EVERYTHING and every suggestion from several threads I've posted here about boges.

So far I've tried 2 of the kangers(going on 4 days now) and both are going great.

Some things I've noticed.

No wait time after fill before using is great!
Tighter draw, but don't have an issue with that. Just a result of the design I guess.
Good flavor. Great vapor.
Need a little bit more time after several hits to wick.
Much warmer vapor.
Much faster absorbing filler.
They WORK!!

I wonder if the kanger vs boge debate comes down to differences in vaping style. I have no idea what my style is but it seems strange that people either love boge or kanger and have horrible experience with the other. For me, boges have been nothing but a frustrating waste of money and juice and kangers, so far, have been wicked.

Never used a kanger. Just tried looking them up. Are these fillerless? If so what makes them different than a ce3? I can't stand the taste of polyfill and always looking for something tank wise without polyfill. Do these kangers work in regular tanks that are made for the XL polyfill cartomizer?

Kangers are horizontal coil and Boges are vertical coil.

No, they have filler. The ones I use are horizontal bottom coils though and produce a cleaner taste than most polyfills I have tried. They do make xl but the ones I tried a while ago came painted. I'm not going through that process again.
The volts are even better than Kanger. Better quality control. I don't know who their manufacturer is but it's not Kanger.

I first ordered smoketech cartos. They worked well. No issues. They did seem to burn out relatively quickly, like two days of vaping one flavor, and with darker juices they burned out in a day. I was running those on just a regular old ego battery.

I next ordered two packs of Boge cartos. They seemed to have the same issue with the darker juices. Clear to lightly tinted juices they worked really well and I still have six of them in rotation. Running them on a 4.2v VV passthrough and in my 1300 mah 4.2v echo battery. On 5v they tend to taste a little burny.

The Kangers I ordered...a five pack of...they taste like crap. There is a horrible chemical taste that I just can't get rid of. I even tried soaking them before using them, letting them dry for two days, and they still tasted bad. I won't be ordering them again. I almost threw up from how bad it was. Some people seem to get good ones, others get really bad ones. I'm not going to waste the money on that gamble. I'll stick with the Boges.

Sometimes the coil on horizontal coil cartos can get pushed to the side. There's a fix by getting in there with a pin and pushing the coil back into the center. The best way to describe that taste is dirty sock and metal. I haven't gotten that taste from Volts though (yet) The kangers are awesome but their quality control can be crap sometimes. Never used to have any issues with Kanger until horizontal coils.

Sometimes the horizontals don't like 4.2v but that went away when I put them in tanks.

I have been using them in a tank. I just hope my experiences hold out. I'm impressed that they have lasted this long compared to the boges since I had such bad experience with them. I'm going to go through a few more and see how things go before buying a bunch.

But again, the comments here are the usual. You either love them or hate them.

Do they have limited voltage range like the Bloog/Volt/G6 horizontal-coil cartos? Those are good only in the range of 3.6-3.9V. You can push them to 4V, but at the risk of burning flavor, so really they're limited to 3.9V

I still used the 808D Volt and Bloog cartos on my Provari (with an adapter), and I do enjoy the vape, but the limited voltage range makes them less than ideal. They're definitely quieter than Boge -- no snap, crackle, pop, and I do like the draw (tighter and more analog-like than Boge).

i had exact same journey with boge and vision, the original packet of carts which were fantastic came unnamed and it took me a lot to find out in the end i had kanger , and they were great! i couldnt understand all the rave reviews on boge they did not compare with my original carts, and now i know what i had, i have kanger back in full swing, thank god i found out otherwise i may have given up on vaping!
