I got mine today, too... but from a different supplier. I'm sorry! I placed the order the day before you put them on your site!!

Hey, anyone come across a "bad" one of these cartos?

I filled a new one this morning, and stuck it on my eGo, and when I pressed the button it started SMOKING out the bottom.

So i took the cap off the carto and pressed the button again to see what was going on in there... and it lit up like a christmas tree. Like, molten-lava orange in the center. :blink:

...what was that all about?

I pitched it.

Yea.... It happens. Not a lot. I've been using cartos almost exclusively, for almost a year and a half. I've had that happen with one carto. It was also BOGE.

I recently (as did many) got a bad batch of cartos (the battery killer kind) from another vendor. They were a different make, however.

Boge has a pretty good track record. They make one of the best cartos on the market.

But do, please keep me updated. If the QC is slipping, this is something I need to be aware of!

Thanks dooter! and mwa!

I have now used 22 low res and 10 regular res boge 510 cartos and not 1 has been bad yet. (Knocks on wood)

Now that I said that, the 8 new ones I have left will explode like firecrackers. :facepalm:

Can someone tell me what brand has been referenced as the battery killer carto? Or how to identify them? Are they the gold threaded cartos? I have seen a few people mention 510 cartos, that are not boge, that have killed batteries. I am always looking to try new things but I don't want to try the battery killers. lol.

If it shouldn't be posted here, please PM me. Thanks

Hey Type...
The ones I'm referring to were from Trueman e-cig, and were available through a few suppliers. They we're my favorite carto for some time. One of the deciding factors for me to switch back to the 510! Then the QC began to slip, until it fell of the deep end. The 808d-1 cartos they offer, are allegedly free of this defect. They had golden threads (the 510s), and were available in a variety of beautiful colors. It's truly a shame.

The supplier I used to get them from no longer carries them. They are scarce these days... and for good reason.

Ah crap! I forgot this thread was in the LF forum. I went to "my posts" to find this again so I could post that I cursed myself by saying I had no issues. Because now I am having issues.

The cartos that I am having issues with are not from LF. I got them from a different vendor. Because of that, I am moving my issues out of the LF forum.

I posted a new thread in the general forum that covers what I had originally posted here:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/143878-boge-510-lr-cartomizer-problems.html

Ty, sorry for posting in your forum directly. But, I certainly appreciate your comments. It shows that you are dedicated to your customers. I am a LF customer, just not these particular cartos so I don't want to associate the issue I am having with LF.

I am sorry to hear that.

I don't think there is anything one can do, but mourn the loss. And so many from the same box! I havn't heard of this from anyone else, but right here on this thread, so that is very uncommon. Looks like you took one for the team!

I'd offer you some, but im all out. I'll hook you up on your next order one way or the other though. Send me an email at work, and I'll sort you out manana!
