Well lucky me, I have one box of Boges from Stormy amongst my 8 boxes but I have no idea which box it is!
I noticed something odd the other day while changing out a carto. I always fill my carto's using the Taryn spin. 8 drops, spin, 8 more dorps, spin and so on. With a brand new carto, when I put the first 8 drops in, the juice sits there and doesn't soak in until I spin it. On this carto, however, as soon as the juice hit the filler it was absorbed. I believe that the problems stem from faulty filler material. I've never seen this happen until this particular carto. very strange.
I have 2 boxes of Stormy's and 4 boxes from GP, haven't had to use any of either yet. I did open one of each, and the thread ends look the same, but the insides don't. The filler material on Stormy's appears to be thicker, and the center tube just a wee hair smaller than the GP's. But like I said, I haven't needed to use any of them yet, so I don't know if mine are in the questionable batch. GP's are marked "510 Stainless 2.0 LR" and Stormy's are marked "510D 3.0ohm".

Is nobody else using the newer Iken V2 Gold Cato's in there tanks ? I find these super and a step up from the Boge's myself ! I get more flavor from these then the Boges, if you can get them try them when Issac opens back up ! to each there own I guess though, some may prefer the Boge's

Do they both have the blue eyes? I love that. Mine that has more siamese is so nervous. she is afraid of everything. The other one is just very layback. She will get on the arm of the couch by me and meow at me to put my arm down so she can lay on the arm of the couch and not have to hold herself up. expects me to hold her up there. they all have their own personalities.

so the V@ gold cartos fit the same in the tank? Problem is you can't order from him. It's been a long time.

IKV cartos are the same size as boges. Jon originally shipped gold or platinum (can't remember which) with the Lavas. He stopped using them because of problems with them over saturating & negatively affecting the draw

I dont think they where the latest V2 Golds that Jon had, not positive, but like I said it is a personal choice, I buy in quantity most of the time when I decide to buy and still have some of these and I like these over the Boge, the filler is different from the original V2 Gold as well. Issac should be opening up soon so you could try them when he does and make your own choice, but again they are different then the original ones from way back, and have a similar filler to the Boge !

MWA said something about them having better flavor a few posts back. I'm pretty happy with the boge. So I have never tried anything else.

A lot of people say that. In my experience, I can't tell a difference. I can also say that I had the same problems with the IKV's in the Lava that led Jon to stop using them.

I'm happy with my boge, but a week or so ago someone mentioned about a longer one that would fit the bigger tanks, I think it was but it doesn't help if he is never open. There are lots of suppliers. So if he doesn't open soon people will just stop trying him.

I highly doubt that, he has a huge following and is one of if not THE BEST suppliers when it comes to cartos and Atty's that ECF has, in fact so popular he sells out in a flash. Issac should be opening soon, and have a large stock when he does !

Ya you where using the old V2 Gold Carto that had the filler that would collapse when it got very wet, that has changed since
