Heavy vapers- how long do your Boge LR cartomizers last?

[christian691]

I vape heavily- usually between 3-5ml a day on my SB with a 3.7v battery. I use Boge LR cartos with a J-tank and they usually last me only one day before losing all flavor. Vapor production is still there but there is no taste at all. Is this normal? I thought that as long as you keep them moist they would last longer

I don't use the LR's but tell people what juice you are using - what PG/VG, what color is it, and does it seem to drop flavoring sediment in the stuffing (because I use the standard res ones and I find more than 20% VG degrades my cartos faster, and so do juices that drop a bunch of sediment, clogging the stuffing. I use about 1ml to 1.5ml per day in the Boge since I vape another ecig 1/2 the time and I can usually get 10 days out of a Boge which is 20 days for me since I am using it 1/2 the time)

I use 80/20 PG/VG and stick to sweet flavors that are clear or pink. I don't think they drop a lot of sediment as the top of the stuffing is still mostly white.

Hmm - sounds like a decent juice though some people think sweet ones can gunk things up faster. The sweet one I use is probably sweetened with ethyl maltol and seems to be fine. got me - that is the thickness I use.

Could your carto be getting overly wet? I get best flavor after the excess wetness after refilling has been vaped off so it's nicely damp everywhere not sopping wet.

Christian, some of us are super-sensitive to taste and a carto doesn't last long. I can taste the filler breaking down the first day with most juices. I use cartos on the go for convenience but drip 95% of the time. The juice that gives me the longest carto life is JC's original line thin PG juices (Spiced Apple Cider) and Halo's PG juices. I suspect because the juice taste is so strong and super thin it overpowers the taste of the carto filler and the thin juice doesn't break down the filler as fast. The thinner and more flavorful the juice the longer you can enjoy the carto before it gets funky. You might want to try one of the CE2s or tanks if dripping isn't a fit for you. Good luck

Dormouse I use a J-Tank with punched cartos so they get fed automatically- they're not sopping wet but I'm pretty sure the cartos are filled evenly.

Boodle I wanted a setup that allowed for easy all-day vaping since I'm constantly driving and on the move. I might have to try something different if this is the case. Thanks for the tip about the Halo juices.

I am a little heavier vaper. I use a similar set up like you. Silver Bullet with a tank on top. I use around 7-10 mls a day. I love my Boge 2.0s but sometimes I can get 1 day out of them and others like 3 days. I use the same juice day in and day out.
Caramel Tobacco at 80/20 PG/VG. I am having flavor issues too so I got some Boge 3.0. I want to see which I enjoy more. The nice hit with the 2.0 Boges or the more flavor with the 3.0 Boges. I got a feeling I probably will stick with the 2.0s but I will never know til I try.

I guess I'll just have to try different juices- I think it's worth going from a pack of analogs a day to 1 carto per 1-2 days.

I was getting 1-2 days with the Boge LR and Johnson Creek 100% PG original.

I'm on my 4th day and still hitting perfectly using a SmokeTech DC Mega and Boba's Bounty 100% VG juice. I've run about 15ml through this one so far. For this noob, the clear carto really helps me to properly top it off. Usually around 10-15 drops to keep the poly fill what I like to call as marbled. Not soaked, but mostly wet with streaks of dryer filler showing up seems to vape perfectly.

Out of Boge, no matter what resistance I use, I can get up to 2 months run time. Alot depends on your juice. If I'm wanting to vape a coffee colored juice, I use an atomizer but for all others, I use a liquinator tank and don't have any problems.

See that's the thing- the juice I vape is either clear or slightly pink and it's not thick. I might have to try out those SmokTechs and see how they do.

And mafig- it's funny I watched that video last night. I'm saving the cartos that don't have any flavor and will try cleaning them.
