help with the boge cartos!

[drewdav]

hey guys/gals, i was hoping someone could give me some tips on the boge cartos for the 510. i have been using the drip tip method primarly with my joye510 and have passed day 10 without an analogue (5X as long since i was 15 yrs old, yay!). i was using the joye cartomizers with the hard tip and using a syringe to refill them with liquid unsuccefully. after reading reviews on here, the boge ones seemed liked they would be my new best friend, but i just got them in the mail, and i am really disappointed. they don't produce nearly as much vapor, and i get almost no TH. i was wondering if i am not filling it correctly. any advice from other boge carto users would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!!!

Thats odd, because I have yet to have an issue using the boge soft top cartos, the SLB's are another story... I'll fill them using either the condom method or I'll pop the top and send about 20-30 drops to fill-er on up. Also you may have inadvertanly purchased the hv cartos, if thats the case the eGo simply cant supply enough power to get that coil hot.

hey, bro, thanks for replying. i am somewhat of a newb still, but the boge just arent doing the trick like i thought they would. they are definitely the boge 510 model, and i can hear them working (the "crackle" sound), but it seems as though they just arent heating it enough. i recently switched to part VG liquid which i am thinking is a mistake. but i even tried using an all PG liquid with them, and it doesnt really make a difference. i initially thought the switch to part VG was the "problem", but apparently it isnt. i have tried filling them from both sides and they still seem really weak. i end up just pushing the manual button way to long and am going through my batts way more quickly than i do when i drip. i have gone so far as to even flooding it thinking maybe it was just still dry, but no real success. i am using a 510, though and not an eGo (like i said, i'm still a bit of a newb). what do you think?

the Bouge510 cartoz are not awesome at 3.7v , they work OK, but not awesome... i only ever use them at 5v and 6v, they seem to perform MUCH better at high volt.

same thing happens to me with them at 3.7v, they crackle but don't perform very well at all.

Agreed Grimm a 510 carto @5 volts

I use mine at 6v and love them.

The boge LR cartos are the best ones I have used yet!

Exactly - and that is most likely the issue for the OP. What resistance are your Boge cartos. I run LR 2.0 ohm or 1.8 ohm and they hit nicely on an eGo and even better on a true 3.7 device. If the resitance isn't listed ohm them out w/a meter. Most likely 3.0 ohm which will give you a weak vape on a joye 510 type batt.

hey guys, thanks for the advice. i am unfortunately going to show my ignorance here. first of all, i don't know if i got low resistance or high resistance. i dont think it was an option. i bought from litecigusa. it's not indicated on the receipt. it just says boge 510 soft cap cartos. also, (again, i apologize for my ignorance) i don't know what "ohm" is, and i also don't know what a 3.7 device is. i am assuming that is voltage??? any clarification would be appreciated. thanks again. you guys are awesome.

LR is short for low resistance. Most sites will list the difference. If the one's you bought weren't listed as LR then they're probably not. Ohm is the resistance of the atomizer or cartomizer. 3.7 is referring to voltage.

look on the box, i believe they list the resistance on a sticker, probably says something like "510D 3 Ohm"

 

[drewdav]

so what voltage am i using with a joye 510?

 

[Liv2Ski]

Somewhere around 3.4V. which means you are getting around 3.85 watts to the element if they Boge cartos you have are indeed 3.0 Ohm. That will make for a cool sort of weak vape. Using 3.7 volts and a 2.0 ohm carto I am able to grab around 6.85 watts to the carto hence a hotter element and more vapor.

 

[Mr.Self_Destruct]

standard voltage is 3.7.

Definitely get Boge LR 510 cartos. They work very well @ 3.7.

I had the same problem with standard Boge cartos @ 3.7

so i looked on the box, and all it says is an emblem with "dekang inside", and a big "SGS"...? i ordered these from litecigusa. anyone have any advice for if i can make these work? also, gave in on an impulse and bought an eGo passthrough/stand alone batt that will hopefully be delivered tomorrow. will these cartos work better with that than the 510? i guess i'll find out tomorrow when i get home from work, but hopefully someone can give me some optimism/bad news while i wait? anyways, hate to beat a dead horse, but thanks so much for all your help.

You can go back to the litecig page and look at the ones you purchased. If they don't specify LR(Low Resistance) then you have the regular ones which are around 3.0 ohm and that's your most likely issue imo.

I purchased a bunch of them on sale for my Riva and experienced the same thing and basically stopped using them because of it. I was having to basically bust a lung to get somewhat of a decent hit. One thing I did that helped a little is hit the button and let it heat up a few seconds before taking a draw, but that's going to drain the battery faster.

I recently got a variable volt mod and broke one out again and at around 4.2v and above they start hitting and heating like a champ. I'm very happy with them now.

You could try the 2.0ohm LR version and that will help the issue although it'll tax the 510 battery alot and isn't recommend at the very least you'll get shorter battery life in between charges but you'll get a better hit and it'll heat up better. Your Ego Passthough should be ok with the LR version as 2.0 isn't that low, most LR Attys are rated between 1.5 and 2.0.

To answer your ? about the Ego Passthough. It should help somewhat as that's not going to deliver much more to the atty than your 510 but it will keep you from recharging frequently. 3.0 ohms is on the high side of what a so called regular atty is so you'll need to get into a much higher volt before they will start firing like your use to with a regular atty which is probably between 2.0 and 2.5.
