Looking for the Boge LR experience? But better flavor and a carto that lasts much longer! I've been searching for a replacement for the Boge LR on an eGo type device. I've heard of folks getting their LR Boges to last up to a week...? give or take... That never happened for me. Mine lasted one day. Two if I was lucky. Before the taste went south and I tossed them. Couldn't live with that taste. I needed a better option.

(I know I really need HV for what I'm looking for, just can't afford it.)

I got hooked on the Boge LR cartos for their warm, easy draw, reckless TH, and good VP. And have been looking for this in Ikenvape cartos due to Isaac's reputation of making cartos that last.

I've tried most cartos out there and every 510 carto from Ikenvape. And a couple non-510 via adapters. He has some really awesome cartos. Always great flavor and VP. The Platinum came closest. Gold V2 (I think) and fusion were good. But not quite warm and/or airy enough. I thought the 510 LR mega was it, but I kept burning them. I haven't tried any that were "bad". All performed as designed.

But none, including 1.5 and 1.25 DCs from other vendors. None of of them hit my sweet spot. Very close, but I always went back to Boge LRs.

I beta tested the 1.6 SC and DC 1.6. Both were great! The SC was hitting it for me. Easier draw and warmer than the DC. But I only had one. And a mishap with a paper clip that put that one to an early death. I have been aching to try another.

I finally got the chance when I made an order and I asked Isaac about them since they were out of stock. He was gracious enough to add them to my order!

These have been reworked in a few different ways. (I don't know what all he did. But I do know the SCs are longer)

These reworked ones are even better! Very, very close to the Boge LR. Better flavor. Maybe not quite as much VP. But very close, if not the same. VP isn't the most critical facter for me. So I won't judge that. I just know there's plenty for me.

I'm in love!

And great news for me! At 5+ days of exclusively using one of these SC 1.6s. (I usually would have 2 Boges and alternate them), this thing is still kicking like the day it was born!! (That's double the savings in $$ for me. And its not over!)

Anybody looking for this experience on a 3.4ish device has to check these out.

I always have spares in my pocket, ready to use when it fails. It just won't happen. I'll report back as to how long it lasts.

Sorry Isaac, and to all, that this isn't a review like some of the pros do on here. I'm just throwing out my thoughts. Also, I was waiting to tell folks what I think after seeing how long it lasts. But, right now I have no idea when that will happen!

I know there are many like me. Can't spend the extra $$ for a HV device, but looking for that warm, airy, reckless TH, with great flavor.
Of course I've only tried one so far. But knowing Isaac's reputation. The rest will more than likely perform the same.

You have to try them if you want this experience from a carto and don't want, or can't afford, a HV device.

Hi Debb,

Click the "510 Cartomizers", then scroll to the bottom. There are two 1.6's. One is single coil (SC) and the other is dual coil (DC).

Here's the link for the SCs: IKV 510 Clear XLR 1.6

r77r7r, The first round was a limited beta test. Isaac can correct me if I'm wrong, if he reads this, but I think he put it on his site so we all would know they were comming "for real". I think he's now had a "production run" of them and believe he will be putting them up on the site real soon.

EDIT: I do not know, but it wouldn't hurt to PM or email Isaac. He'll let you know when they'll be on the site and maybe even let you purchase a few "offline".

I just got my SC and DC cartos on Thursday. Isaac, why do you do this to me? Another killer product that works like it should??? HOW COULD YOU??? I can't put these things down and now I'm regretting only ordering 5 of each.

I mean, I love my LR 510 and 808 cartos, but these are rocking my vape! I metered every single one and they all came in at 1.6Ω. They're all super easy to fill with a syringe or by dripping, the flavor is great and there is no burnt taste.

The clear tube is sturdy and the mouthpiece for a CE2 fits in the top snugly. I have no worries about it popping out and getting lost. The clear tubing is also perfect for writing on it with a Sharpie.

I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!

Thanks, Isaac!

I've wanted to try those, but I just gave up going to his site- He's always out of what I want. It's like the Reos, hear great things, stop by w/ money in hand, and "out of stock".

Follow him on Twitter or better yet subscribed to his newsletter. The newsletter goes out before it is publicly announced here. The early bird catches the worm :)

The difference between the SC and DC is price. If I can't afford a buttload of the DC's, then I can still buy the SC's and get the same rocking vape.

I'd never had much luck with LR's, but got 10 IKV Mega-510 LR's in a trade.

And, as always WomanOfHeart ... you're right. I'm running one on my Buzz with some IKV RY4 right now and its pretty fine.

I am a big fan of these new 1.6 ohm SC 510 cartos, IMO, they are better than the boges. They perform so well that I even use them on a simple eGo (3.3V) which is a good thing (Provari + Fusion are not very discreet @ work! :laugh:).

Yes! I agree totally blueberry! That's all I have is eGo's, so I can't crank up the voltage for some IKV's other cartos and get the same experience I need.

These are perfect for me!! And they last MUCH longer then Boge's and have a much better flavor as well. I changed around my juices, and tried some old ones that were on the shelf. These are awesome!

Good for you deadlili! These SCs are rockin! And I get a good 2-3 weeks or more out of them. Right now I'm rotating one with a LR fusion (which u may want to try too! They're close. Not quite as warm or easy draw, but a little more flavor.) When I want a little more flavor for a particular juice, I pick up the LR fusion. But 80-90% of the time, its the 1.6 SC.

And I don't have to worry every day if its going to crap out on me. It just keeps going.. And going...

OH! Every once in a while when the draw starts ti tighten up, I drip some higher PG than my normal in there and in its back to like day one! Awesome!!

You have to try them if you want this experience from a carto and don't want, or can't afford, a HV device.

Smart guy. That was the intended purpose of the LR attys and cartos. To mimic the vaping people were getting on their hv and vv mods. You are one of the first people I've seen that's posting about using them as they were intended instead of putting them on an HV or VV mod and stressing their equipment and batteries. Kudos my man. and a very intelligent post.
