IKenVape Platinum Punch Substitute?

[kmayer29]

Been pretty much using IKV's XL platinum punches exclusively for a while now, but Isaac seems to be having some issues with them. I use thick VG juice, so I'm looking for a replacement cargo with 2 large holes (platinum punches have 2 2.5 mm holes). Anyone know where I can find this?

I'd suggest using some Boge XL from here ElectronicStix.Com · Single Boge 510 Blank Laser Punched Cartomizer For Tank Systems.

If these aren't to your liking, you may find something else here: Vendor List of Pre-Punched Cartos

Thanks, Baditude! Actually looked at your list yesterday. Sometimes I come onto this forum just to read your posts. You've helped me out before and we have similar vaping taste. I use the IKVs in an IBTanked tank. Only, when I recently looked to upgrade from an ego twist, I ended up going with the Vapor Shark DNA. Wanted something smaller than a Provari . Thanks so much for responding.

You think the one large hole is better than two small holes? I tend to use 100% VG juice. Shame the platinums are only giving me like one day until they start to crap out.

Never know unless you give them a try.

Don't forget, you can also do some primer puffs from time to time as needed.

Went ahead and ordered a 5-pack of those Boges. Thanks for the rec.
I do primer puffs often because my cartos seem to dry out so fast. Could it be that my juice is too thick? Been into Boba's Bounty lately.

Boba's is notoriously known as one of the thickest juices known to mankind. So much so that PBusardo often uses this flavor to test how well a delivery device wicks soley because it is so thick.

And he's all about Boges, right? IKVs are essentially the same thing I think.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that Boge makes cartos for IKV, to their standards. As I've never been able to get my hands on an IKV carto to do a side-by-side comparison, I can't say what the differences are.

Those Boges from electronicstix.com have been working great. Thanks so much for the tip, Batitude!

from what i gather, yes. it seems boge made at least the platinum line according to Isaacs specs for IKV until this last batch where boge added a thin layer membrane that screwed the whole functionality completely. there may be something new on the horizon, though. don't want to say too much as my information is limited and i don't know if i've said too much already.
