I've noticed that most of the Boges in my last 5 box order (bummer) is compressed farther down the tube than before. I've tried pulling it up a little, but it's tight and begins to tear.

Right now, I'm using some in house cartos from Stormy's Vapor Cellar that they procured from a manufacturer built to their specs. These things suck up juice immediately and the flavor is good. They create clouds of vapor. Stormy markets these as the SVC Cloud Maker. They are far ahead of the Boge in absorption and flavor, vapor production, and the price is about the same.

Dave that's great they are still working well. I may try them first before the ikenvapes.

I've been reading the BogeGate posts and had decided to try the IkenVapes and the smoktek. I have a couple of of the smoktek DCT DC tanks and the cartos for those are really good in taste, vapor, draw, and longevity. If Boge doesn't initiate some QC on their line and fix these problems, they will lose the business. We guys on the forums communicate really well. If it doesn't perform, we not only quit using it, but we blast it to the world.

I bought 6 boxes of Boge cartomizers from MVS. Out of those 6 boxes, about 7 cartomizers had a funny taste, had the coils crooked so the tube was clogged by the coil itself, or somehow refused to prime/burn. One in particular I must have put 15 drops into, including 2 down the vent tube, which I then blow back and forth to 'prime' the wick. I keep adding drops until they stop being absorbed.

One or two actually refused to prime this way, and got the burned cotton taste, and trashed a brand new one. That was after letting it sit 5-10 minutes if not more.

I'm so damn sick of wasting juice filling up new cartos that end up tasting like crap. With Boge cartos they don't have that weird flavor anymore (the ones I've had recently) but they seem to die much quicker than before boge gate. I bought 2 "BUD" cartos from Puresmoker (they are SmokTek cartos, built to Puresmoker's specs) and the first one was awesome, second one was awful. I'm just so tired of chasing a good vape. I tried to go back to attys and got an HH357, I kept getting the atty burp which is the most terrifying thing ever so quit using it. Are ViVi Novas any good?

I have been using Boge's exclusively for about 3 months. I use the xl sr punched. For the initial fill I use a syringe. I have had no issues and no bad cartos. They last for weeks in my tanks. My wife and I both use them without any issues. The only time I had a problem was not getting the carto filled initially by dripping so I changed to the syringe and no more issues.

Where did you find "good" Boge cartos at?
I gave up on them months ago and have tried Ikenvape and Stormys but nothing has come close to the Vivi Nova.
If I can ever get a good supply of Silica wick in, I doubt I'll ever go back to a carto again.
The Vivi Nova is that good !

I have been using boges for about a month now and havent had any problems with taste. I slot mine and they seem to still have that nice crackle/sizzle after a week of use in my tank. Now as i'm typing this i havent been keeping close track of mine yet. So i will start doing that. I know though that i have been using standard resistance and they've all tasted good. The low res not so much.. using mine on my zmax, with a little smok tank, and a SR boge from jvapes
