Hi, I'm still relatively new to vaping and I have questions about cartos. I'm starting to think cartos might be what is giving me issues, while I was blaming the juices and other things. I use the word issues as a figure of speech... no real trouble here. Just a learning curve I guess. ....By the way, I'm using Boge 3.0ohm (std res) cartos, and Boge 3.0ohm XL cartos on a Provari mini at about 4.5-5.0 volts.
How often should I change to a new carto? Currently, after I fill a carto the first time, I'll basically use it until it shorts out and my Provari mini gives me an "E1" error. Then I toss it and grab a new one. I think I'm a heavy vaper. I don't know what is average, but a after one "cigarette break" at work (7-10min) I'll start getting a dry, weird taste, and refill it when I go back to my office. I take about four breaks a day, plus lunch, and about a vape every hour that I'm home. All total, I'd guess I refill the same carto 12-13 time a day. I do this each day, and really don't change cartos until I get an error. Is this right? Should I be changing them after "X" uses? or just play it by taste? ...I don't think the later works, because I just quit smoking and my tastes are all over the place from day to day. Evidently I don't know what anything really tastes or smells like... lol
Also, how full should I fill the cartos? I heard somewhere the Boge's hold ~20 drops, so that is what I count out the for the first fill, then after that I go for the "snow-cone" look. Trouble is, they are often, well... "gurgly?" after filling them. They don't draw well and taste kind of bad until they start drawing well. If I don't fill them up that much though, they start tasting dry and weird before I'm "done". I tried carrying two and swapping out, but aren't they supposed to last longer than an analogue? I'd smoke two analogues in the same amount of time...
I have some CE2's on the way to try, and as soon as they are back in stock, I am going to get some CE3/Phoenix's and a Vivi Nova to try as well. I've only tried dripping once before on a 510 atty that came with my starter kit back then, and it tasted like an electrical fire. Never tried again.
I like my Boge's but I'm thinking I might be happier if I was using them differently or using something else entirely. Any thoughts, suggestions, or advice? And what is your delivery method?
Thanks!
