It is BOGE. They are my favorites as they are around 2.8 - 3.0 ohm and run cool.

The V4L CoolCarts are BOGE I believe from other posts I've read.

The IKV Mega 808's are good too and I just ordered some more today for my Buzz ETA Thursday! WooHoo! Can you say NIC OD????? :p

hey my bad is it Bogo or Boge??

Not funny Bovinia, and yes Samsmom, I also like them because they run much cooler and run great at 4.76v, all of mine are mostly at 2.9ohms but iv had like two 3.2ohms and only one at 2.2ohms which is where the buzzes varivolt capability Really came into good use, I turned it down to 4.05v and it was hitting the same as a carto with 2.9ohms at 4.76v, this wouldn't have been possible with a fix voltage mod.

Hi NoMatches and welcome to the Buzz Army! I ordered mine this past weekend and got my shipping notice today. I am a big V4L user but realized like you that the taste and performance was much better with the P/T at 5 V.

I ordered the native 808 since I use mostly 808 cartos - I like V4L cool carts and BOGE 808's. If you order the 510 native you need to get the 510-901 adapter.

901 and 808 are the same so anytime you see something that is 901 it will work on an 808.

Hope that makes sense.

I actually ordered the native 808 like I stated earlier but ordered the 901-510 adapter to use 510 cartos/atttys. So I am covered no matter what I choose to use! I also like the IkenVape 808 Megas and those will probably be replacing my Cool Carts as they hold more liquid.

Best of luck! Everyone here is so helpful!

OK.... I really don't want to have to place another order elsewhere.... and this is one of my suggestions to Mike. One stop shopping. Make it as simple and easy as possible. I guess I'll get the 808 native and a 910 to 510 adapter. I've gone back and forth on this one isuue about five times now! ACK!

I'm going to give you the best advice I know. I have 65 boxes of assorted cartomizers from different manufactures and vendors. I use Ikenvapes now because for me they are the best but that's for me and the juice I use. Plus they last longer than anyone elses for me. Instead of trying to find everyones favorite carto that might not work for you. Find the person that uses the same PV at the same setting with the same juice you use and find out what their favorite one is. Believe me thats how I ended up with all these is by listening to people that claim to have the best but they use different juice and devices than I do. Good luck. BTW your connector choice is a good one. Good Prophets has any adapter you can think of for 99 cents each so that's no biggie, oh and very low shipping rates.

Unfortunately this is something you'll run into often. It has been a thorn in the vapers side from the beginning not to be able to order everything you need from one place! It's even worse if you DIY your own juices like I and many others do.

If you find later that you can't live without a 510 native, the Buzz is fairly easy to change the top cap on and you can get a 510 cap from Mike.

Finally placed my order. Got the 808 with 901 to 510 adapter. Black baby, black! I think I have a multimeter hanging around here someplace. If not I'll go to Radio Shack and buy a cheapy multi meter, always good to have an ohm meter around too.

I can always get the voltmeter when I get around to ordering my Infinity.

Congratulations Nomatches! I have 2 friends here that ordered theirs last Friday. One of them got shipping notice yesterday and the other today. I told them both that they are going to be loving life by the weekend. I hope that you will love your Buzz as much as I love mine. The Buzz Army is great about answering all of your questions (yes, you will have them) and being here for support.

You characters do make me chuckle! Thanks for all the confu... er... I mean help!

I have a party to go to Sunday night, my sis, my best friend, it's her B Day and I'd love it if I had my Buzz for that. Mike... you listening? LOL... I'm usually not far away from my USB bypass, so a night of partying and cocktails, I'm gonna need my Buzz! I guess if I don't get it I can still go out to my truck and take a few vapes with my automobile bypass, but that sort of defeats the whole idea of vaping!

My family knows me as a chain smoker, and I've been one my entire life, even in the womb. I want to whip out my Buzz and "blow" them away! :vapor::p

I'M STOKED! :headbang:

Harbor Freight has Digital Multimeters on sale for $3.99! You can splurge and get the lighted LCD display for $6.99. They seem to work fine. The internal resistance is high at 1.0 ohms, so your attys always read exactly 1 ohm higher than they are but for a basic DMM, it works.


It's a digital for that price? Wow. Actually being an old timer, I still like the old analog meter, particularly for measuring changes in voltage. It's just instrisically more user freindly when tuning something up. The old meter movement... it just gives one a better feel than watching numbers jump on a digital display. My brain has analog wiring I guess.

Great start Mike! Nice to know you are listening and have an open mind. Your designs are innovative. Be sure to be innovative in your entire approach. You seem to have the engineerring down pat. Keep that open mind when managing the rest of the operation, and your engineering driven company will flourish for sure.

Even the Fortune 500 companies have reps, R&d driven, marketing driven, financially driven.... the ones that strike that balance are the ones that find themselves on the most solid ground and in a position to grow. Being ahead of the competition in terms of innovative engineering is probably the best advantage a company can have, and you seem to have that. Be a leader in marketing AND engineering... well, that is tough to beat.

Maybe when I do my review, it could be helpful for other newbies. But.... is there any way I can get my Buzz by Saturday?:p Nudge, nudge... does she go, eh? (Monty Python ref)

That link will be VERY helpful for those like me that were confused. However, it is still a generic public service announcement. I stil would remain unsure of where to go and what to buy in terms of Notcigs products. Take that format, condense and customize it to Notcigs products... then it's a killer. That link is informative and educational. It still leaves a potential customer wondering how and where to buy. What I suggest is a very condensed version of that, focusing soley on mods and Notcig solutions. Right there on your site.

It's a project for sure. I think if you were to create an outline for it, there might be enough volunteers in this forum to do more than half of it. Heck, I think I might be able to create an outline and format for it. If this is something you think you have an interest in... maybe we should talk some more. Let me know by PM.... and no, I'm not looking for employment, just discussion. Could be a fun project. Just a thought.. ot a group of thoughts. Call it a "thought cloud"! LOL...
