I have heard of this myself, but can't remember where. Either this thread or one of the others that's out there. Might be a good idea to check into also.

Yeah, that was it. I just watched the video. Gonna have to do one of those also. They are squeezeable which might be a plus if the carto isn't wicking. Also a little less muss and fuss when changing a carto. No plungers that can move around.
I think these are the bottles: Cylinder and Boston Round Bottles with Dropper Caps | U.S. Plastic Corp.
Excellent, let us know if it seems to help in that way. I'd try it myself, but haven't got to the point to try a tank yet, although I have a few ready. Yeah, I'm chicken. I'm just waiting till I get a good diy juice done, that way, if I get a bad leak, I'm not losing expensive stuff, or wasting cartos.
I test with 95%VG - 5% distilled water.
Hmm, that might be a little thick to work like I'm thinking.
My first fill was with AVE Hype 90/10 mix. Works great. Punched the hole (only one) by using the saddle valve and screwing it down as far as it would go. Left about a .5mm or so hole. The carto was filled prior to filling the tank. It has wicked perfectly for me for three days. Have gone through about 4mls without a hitch.
And, because I like to try to take everything too far... I haven't measured it yet, but I have something like a 15ml tank.
I saw this and am giving it a try...
Wow. Here's the video for people who haven't seen it -

Is there any of our ecig vendors that carries these bottles? US Plastics has them for $.25 apiece but I hate ordering just a few and nothing else, then paying shipping on something that cost a dollar or two. If there is an ecig vendor, maybe I could get 3 or 4 and some cartos, or something else I need.
NLV was selling a similar bottle mod with a ce2 inside. I bought one in mid August and it's still going strong.
I placed an order a few days ago from Welcome To The Only Vapor Shop In Indianapolis And Central Indiana....... and they had the empty 6ml bottles. I picked up a few to try, so hopefully they are the right ones.
I'm not sure they're exactly the same bottles but OneStop DIY Shop and Perfumers' Apprentice sell them - I bought a bunch of them from PA.
Neither of them sell cartos, though
Poking around in there a little I see the $12.99 tanks madvapes is also selling - and learned they're Smoktech devices. They also sell the punched cartos with the flange separately but they're $5 each.

Those look like the ones. Thanks.

As a follow-up, I got some Smoktech 3.2 ohm cartos in and have made a couple syringe tanks with them. I've only gone through about 5 Boge 3.0's in syringe tanks, and only one is still running well, while another one stopped wicking completely after my second tank fill. The other three didn't even last me a full tanks worth of juice before they stopped wicking.
A couple of things that I noticed between the Boge and Smoktech cartos:
A couple of things that I noticed between the Boge and Smoktech cartos:
- The filler material on the Boge's just don't seem to be a good pack and don't have a consistent look to them. When opening a fresh one and looking down from the top, the material often has several frays sticking out above the pack line. With the Smoktech's, the material has a very tight pack, and sometimes a few frays sticking up, but nothing like on the Boge's that I currently have.
- I use a syringe for the initial fill of my cartos. On the Boge's, the syringe is met with resistance going down between the filler material and the sidewall, and always ends up snagging. Invariably, I always end up with the syringe pulling a string or two of filler material out with it. With the Smoktech's (both the 3.2 single and 2.0 dual coil), the syringe glides down between the filler and the side wall very easily. I have yet to have the syringe pull any strings of filler material out on the Smoktech's.
I just ordered 10 6ml bottles to try. I figure I'll try using 1 hole in a carto, if it doesn't wick that well, I'll just give the bottle tank a squeeze. I'd rather do that than ending up with a flooding carto.
I agree with poolslime on the Boge carto filler issue. The filler does look different than it used to. I think that they have cheapened up on us.

I agree they probably changed something. Previously, I was using 2.0 Boge's on my KGO, and I didn't have the problems with them that I'm having with the 3.0's.
