thanks, I am using a provari with a 2ohm boge at 3.8V.

the smok that came with the tank was better I think. I do find that they seem to work better with full flavored juices like watermelon or a space jam than more subtle flavors .

What about the juice's PG/VG?

Everything else looks good. Unless you're vaping 40/60 - 0/100 it sounds like a technique issue... you may just be drawing too hard/fast. I had similar problems.

I never tried Boge's but the Smok's are my backup when I run out of Iken's. The Fusions will be very similar to the Smok's, but with much, much better flavor. Some people report that they last longer, but I haven't seen that yet. The Platinums will be a much softer hit & they may be a better carto for you. I haven't tried any slotted, from any company, so I can't comment there.

My suggestion would be to work on your vaping technique. Slow down, don't hit it so hard, just take nice long & even pulls. Aim to see if you can hit that 16 second cutoff on the Provari... I haven't met anyone who's done it yet.

intersting thank you... the tank that is giving me trouble has suicide bunny's mothers milk. i dont think i have the lungs for the 16 sec cutoff!! i will give it a shot :)

i just timed myself, if i take one long pull without the first one i usually take im at 5.7 seconds

The goal isn't to hit it, it's to aim for it. Try all day taking just the single draw & how long you can do it. If you draw a little softer, you can get an extra second or 3 out of it. By the end of the day, you'll notice that your cartotank is behaving a little differently. ;)

hello there ikenvapers... so I've got a question, I recently made the move from clearos to carto tanks and so far I am struggling to find a carto that performs like I thought they would. Not enough wicking to flooding, super burn taste vapes etc...

I have some Ikenvapes on order. Are these cartos that much better? or am I doing something wrong here?
The only other option I have is to start rebuilding...

Wow! What a catch-up!! Fran and DP are shoveling too much, OZ lost his nuts, DP is looking in his drawers, KD5 is... ummmm.. :D, Bov is eating like a squirrel and 5card likes being locked up in a padded room. :lol: And a really scary picture!! you all are NUTS and I love it!!!!

I've been MIA because Feb. is a good/bad month for me. Fun but expensive. Wife's B-day, Aniversary (30th this year with my lovely lady!!! :)), and V-day. Usually we take a trip down south where it's 80 degrees. But stayed home and just doing a bunch of special things. Hope you all are doing well! You're sure having fun!!

Sam Sounds like Oz has you on the right track. It's critical what your pg/vg ratio is and the number of holes/slots and their sizes. Without a doubt IKV cartos will taste better and last longer I've had a few fusions last over a month. And I've heard of others where they last longer.

My first quick fix while you're waiting on IKV cartos is to take one of the carto types that have burned on you and punch another hole in it , or make the existing one(s) larger, and see if it works better.


Have a great day all you nuts and good morning Fran!!!

I'm going skinny dipping...it's 30 here!

Pizza, we just wanted to add some more fun for your special month! Happy Birthaversary Valentine's Day to you and your lovely Missus :lol:

Pass the pasta! I'm in on that dinner! Shoveled another sheet ton of snow this morning to clear my parking spot so I'm not blocking Ms Katie's exit from the toasty garage. Who's got the hot tub for my back?!
