Okay I'll have to give bwb root beer a try. To be honest with you, all of TV liquid that I've tried, which is about fifteen flavors or so, is really full of flavor. I haven't tasted any liquid from any raved about supplier that even comes close to the complexity, sweetness, and rich flavor as Chocolate Amaretto Cake or Geoffs Blend. It's gotten to the point where, short carto life or not, I'm spoiled from vaping their liquids. Liquids from other suppliers, even when they taste good, aren't as sweet or nearly as rich. It's as if they're good but missing something, I've even added sweetener but it still doesn't compare.

have you tried kick bass vapor, i love their liquid. i have not vaped anything from them that i didnt at least like. most of the the flavors i end up loving and could easily be an all day vape :)
i run their liquid almost exclusively in my cartomizers, and i have zero issues. both 60/40 and 70/30 pg/vg ratio, never had any problems with either ;)

Yes, I'm vaping OMG right now, and while it's very good, I still have to add sweetener to it. I've tried hbn, omg, and gbc. I think they might have the best of both worlds, flavorful yet not too hard on carts. However, none of the ones I've tried are as rich as TV liquids, imho.

I truly resent your statement! I have several eMDCCs that I've vaped for two months. Granted, they are now at the end of enjoyable. But six weeks is a given for the ones that are still in use. I easily get a month thus far, seriously...

"End of enjoyable" not acceptable to me. Neither is spending time cleaning or otherwise maintaining atties, batteries, steeping, using a centrifuge or anything else that makes vaping more complicated than it already is. Please qualify claims of a long lasting attie with your vaping style that might make you unique among ecig users. Try to be as honest as you can so that you are the most helpful you can be.

IMO and we all know what opinions are like! :blink:

for the price of the cartomizers, i just open a fresh one every 4 or 5 days ... i have some floating around that i have had for a couple of weeks, and they work just fine, but i do think i'm starting to notice a slight taste change...so since i can pick them up so so cheap, i'd rather just start a new one as opposed to messing with cleaning :)

and for what it's worth, i love royalsmokers clearomisers too. i've been vaping the hell out of them! don't understand why people do not like these things, i love em :)

I'm SO glad you started this thread - this is a question I should have asked months ago. My BIGGEST problem has been with short lived cartomizers. When I have time I'm going to read this entire thread - although I've read some of it and will say this.....I've don't think cleaning them is worth the trouble. Never has improved one very much for me. I've used Boge & Ikenvape and still have never gotten over a week on a carto. I even started dripping because of the carto problem but I can't spend all day with a bottle of juice in my hand (I'm a heavy vapor). I am beginning to suspect it does have something to do with the VG/PG ratio. Anyway, like I said, I'm going to go through this thread and see what advice I can gleam from it. Again - thanks for bringing it up and thanks to all that have replied w/ideas, thoughts, suggestions.

I am officially retiring a carto (that still works) that is 1 Month and 2 1/2 weeks old. I used Peach in it, never cleaned it. The flavor is dropping but the TH and vapor are still strong. :vapor: :toast: :vapor: I'll keep it around and play around with it with different juices until it dies.

I think I've killed only... 4 cartos since I started using an eGo instead of my 510. Then again, I'm a dripper at home, carto-user when I'm mobile/distracted.

OK I've also experienced that peach and menthol flavoring doesn't clog carts, I've tried several of both and while I can't say I've even tried to keep one going for a month, I did notice that I threw them out because I just wanted to vape a new flavor or it didn't give us much of a throat hit anymore, ie performance drops. Keep em coming, the list is getting longer...

This thread starting to go the way of the dinosaur... So...

Letting everyone know that all three of the KBV liquids i've tried: omg, hbn, and gbc do not clog cartomizers, I've been vaping omg from the same cart since Wednesday on my SB with Liquinator mod and it still hits like new, same experience with the other two KBV flavors

I get a couple weeks or more out a standard Boge carto. I use a PT at home and a 3.7 box mod and a roughstack on the go.

I poke the center hole out when it gets pluggy and keep them wet with 4 drops down the sides at the first hint of dryhit.

I like the clearo's and have had luck with them modded a bit but man do those things use the juice!

Maybe it's just me but it seems they use up twice as much juice as a regular Boge.
