Agreed, I think he has the best cartomizers and attys made. I have around15 different cartomizers from different vendors and manufacturers and not one of them compare to Ikenvapes.

How long have you been vaping you should know this is rebranded...ask the owner he will tell you his same cartos are being sold other places....

i've been vaping 50/50 watermelon bubblegum from fsusa on this drip tip carto for almost a week, but put 10mL through it and it still seems almost perfectly fine, you still havent told anyone what kind of juice, or what device you're using, everyone here is trying to help you help yourself, yet you seem intent on bashing vendors, maybe cartos just arent your thing, i know which of my juices arent going into my cartos, and which will work...the juice i'm using right now burns straight through this carto and im getting 25 drops on a refill, most cartos wont fit 25 drops period, I'm more than happy with my purchase, and so are a lot more people, and keep in mind isaac doesnt pay me i pay him, in return imo i get a great product and great shipping time...good luck in finding something that works

a little off topic....but 5card i've been wanting to steal ur signature, it has two of my top 3 suppliers lol

It's not stealing if I let you take it and anyone is welcome to it. They won't let you have 2 banners so I had to combine them. Wiz got it the other day. Any time Methic.

the only plastic in these (not 100% sure) should be the mouth pice the white plastic covering the wire coming stright up the middle from the positive contact, and a small plastic ring which seperates the positive and negative contacts at the bottom of the carto(the part you screw in) other than that theres polyfill, the nylon "sock" and the wire for the heating element

I can see a plastic oring right above the filler if you look staright down one and there is a thin layer of melted plastic on the sides to hold it in.

pb, I have a pile of these. Just got 3 more boxes of them last week. I just took a carto out of each box and looked in them. They don't have a plastic ring over the filler. none of them do. Are you sure you didn't get another 510 carto mixed up with the drip styles?
BTW, these are NOT standard Boge cartos. They have a looser filler, the isolator tube is made of a denser material and there are probably other differences I don't know about. I've used lots of Boge cartos from other venders and they ain't the same.
Don't know about that ring. None of mine have one.?.

There's no o-ring inside this 510 drippers, none. I have 200 of these carto's and not one has an o-ring. Considering the juice I use, 70% pg, 30% vg, dark colored liquid, I get at least 1 full week from this drip tip cartos.

I spend $4.00 a week on my carto a savings of $80.00 + per week. They have the best flavor of any I've tried. I've tried carto's from many suppliers over the last year and a half and these are by far the best on the market, meaning no fiddlin' around or moddin' them!
 
I technically got one dud so far out of my order of 23, but the others have been great so far. If you only bought 2 and are going to give up because of this passer, I think it's a mistake. I pretty much went straight from the mystery cartos that come with starter kits and Boge LR 808's with random vendors' juice to IKV and my own DIY blends, and the latter is way better to me. I remember getting a set of juices labeled 70PG/30VG and some were runny while others seemed like 70% VG. Or those could have had sticky caramel sugars that don't belong in an atty/carto.

These do take a little while to break in. The only real change I got is that they got less noisy though. The hit was just as good before or after they were into sizzling. I think you just had some bad luck and/or used some suspect juice.

Rebranded and the same? Not at all. Remastered is the correct word here. While the Platinum is a redefined work derived from Boge it's definitely not the same you can purchase from anywhere.
The V2 Drip style and Fusion are my personal creations while other manufactures try to duplicate it, they obviously cannot. One supplier even went forth and used my own photo, In the listing, they're actually using two different products in the same photo
:laugh: acts like that from suppliers is the stereotype your mistaking me for. In regards to a plastic piece, you have said you have found this in one and it is indeed the culprit while you had a couple go bad. Can you show me a photo of this piece? I wass on with my engineer via skype last night, he said it is totally impossible as plastic doesn't exist in the production. I'm not one for calling anyone a liar in the least, so can we please have a visual?
If you would like me to resend you two more test out that will not be a problem, though I do stick to our emails and recommend you use a different liquid so this problem doesn't reoccur.

Duplicate post. Waste not what not.
5Card I LOVE your signature and avatar! Your getting really good at photoshop!!




I just want to let this go on the record. I'm not sure how other suppliers treat problems, If they look for something to blame such as the customer or equipment.
When a customer approaches me with a problem. I ask a series of questions to troubleshoot for a solution to ensure product safety. I go through this routine with the hopes of not sending someone a replacement just for the product to fail again. I really am looking out for your best interest so we both don't lose out on the matter.

FWIW Isaac I did a little background search on subject matter last night. It does seem that PB is searching for Nirvana like a bull in a China shop. Unless he can come up with <<pics or it didn't happen>> I wouldn't bother.

You don't have to defend yourself here... we know the difference :)
