The only issue I have so far is the fact that I have only used the Boge carts in my syringe tanks. These tanks I think are for larger carts. Im not sure what Im going to do with it. I can either get the longer carts or I can just cut the tube shorter to fit my Boges. What to do???
Thanks and do let use know what you think of them. And, if you regular carto's work OK with the tank.

I have used DC's before and I think they eat up the liquid too fast. I got a Smok Tech 2.5ohm carto last week as a sample from Joogler Juice. I might try that in the new tank.

I've used Smoktech 2.5s in tanks - they work fine. 1.7 ohm resurrectors from Crystal Clear Vaping might be another option - they hit harder than the the Smoktechs and they're not as thirsty as a dual coil.

I'm using resurrectors now but will probably go to dual coil when I run out of these.

edit: If you do go with the resurrectors it's probably good to know they're about 1/8" shorter than a Smoktech 2.5 - the 1 5/8" tubes I used on the Smoktechs were almost too long for the resurrectors - I ended up cutting new 1 1/2" tanks since I had a buncha syringe tubes leftover.

The smoke tech single coil 1.7ohm carto from madvapes work really well and 7.98 for a 5 pack. but you will need to take the black wrapper off. Or the Resurrectors are also 1.7ohm's but you can get them in S.S. and they are very good also. Let us know how long the new tank is.

I like the idea of cutting the tube shorter. I may try a few of these myself after I hear how you like them.

Have you or anyone else been having problems with the Boge 3.0's? I have been punching my holes the same as always. Also using the sames juices as usual. In other words, I've been using the same technique and equipment that have been making providing me with a near perfect vaping experience. I have been having wicking issues much more often.

They just won't wick the juice in. I've tried all the tricks, pulling air into the carto by sucking before I turn on my pv, priming with a few drops, fully filling the carto beforehand, no wicking, just burnt taste. I had 4 in a row I had to throw out. I put a cut condom around them and tried them out of the tank to be sure. They were no good.

And I've had a few that overwick for no reason at all.

The thing I have always loved about these is the consistency. I am getting really discouraged. I have tried lots of other cartos, but I want to keep using my Boge. But this is getting expensive. I'd say 20-30% of them are not working properly. I have tried 3 different suppliers with the same results.

I don't want to debate technique here, I know what has been working flawlessly for me; I just want to know if you are experiencing the same problems as I am.

OUCH! Have you been using these all along? Any definitive time line demarcation? How 'bout lower ohm cartos?

It's really odd that you're having both starvation/'burning' AND over-wicking/flooding! Then add the fact of three diff vendors... Sure sounds like a carto QC issue.

Please keep us advised as to any new discoveries. Hopefully someone can determine the cause!

Yes, I've been using them all along, since I started vaping, and I've always loved them. And now I love them even more in my tanks.

I'm getting pretty po'd at these cartos. I was just gonna place a big order with Boge for a couple hundred of them, but I am concerned about their QC. When the overwicking happens, it's usually around the 3rd-4th fill, and it gets out of control. I can block the holes by pushing the tank up, and it's good, but then, as soon as I push the tank back in position, it starts overwicking, not really flooding.

I've got several cartos that are still vaping like new after a couple weeks. And some non-vapable from the getgo. I got my 1st 2 cartos that wouldn't wick about 4-6 weeks ago. Then it was clear sailing until the past few days. I don't think it's the suppliers; I agree with you that they're dropping the ball in China.

I've got about 6 new boxes of them. I'm going to keep track of them. I'm hoping that I got to all of the bad ones at once.

Edited to add: I don't use the lr's.

You're not alone, I've been having the same problem with mine. I've tried 4, and only one vapes well. The filler material also is pretty frayed on most of mine, and doesn't look near as nice as other cartos I've used. I'm not sure if it's a QC issue or not. The odd thing is, even just filling one without making a tank, they don't seem to vape as well as I would expect. I've used the Boge 2.0's on my KGO and love them, so I'm very surprised that I've been having troubles with the 3.0's.

I also have some Smoktech 3.2's coming in that I'm going to give a try. I'm mainly using the Smoktech 2.0 dual XL cartos and absolutely loving them, but a 3 ohm is nice to conserve battery usage when out and about.
