Ok, so I need some suggestions.

[WyattDerp]

Allright peeps of ECF, I need a Vulcan Mind Meld to help me. I'm currently vaping/aerating with a Riva 510, using drip tip and LR 2.0 atomizers and I'm just not seeing my flavors come alive like I want them to. I'm trying to decide between switching to cartomizers, SmartVapes drip atomizers (which I love dripping), All PG blends (but I love me some VG mashups), I'm just at a loss. What suggestions, other than switching to a mod or VV mod cuz I ain't gots the green for dat. Thanks all.

Aerating.....Like it!

Let's see....I am going to suggest you try some LR Boge cartomizers (2.0 ohms). The Dual Coils are good too but they will use your battery fast.
As for your juice blend, try some 70pg/30vg or 80pg/20vg blends. I am currently hooked on 80/20. The flavor is not muted, the vapor is there and the juice wicks well.

I have trouble with atomizers too. One day, I can get flavor from them and the next I can't. Some of it may be just a bad "tasting" day for me. Or my taste buds are adjusting. I'm not sure. But, I can say that I get the most flavor consistency from the LR Boge Cartos at 80/20 juice.

Hope this helps.....

If you want to try a carto, I would seriously try some Boge lr 2.0 cartomizers. IMHO, they are the best basic carto available. They are easy peasy, I've never had a bad one. Just about everyone seems to love them. Just keep 'em wet, and they are golden!

Great minds think alike. We posted 1 minute apart!

I too love my boge 2.0 cartos! dirt cheap, easy to clean (flushing with warm water in a syringe) and the flavor is amazing! Crystal clear vaping sells them 15 for $20 with free shipping and free drip tips! I like using the 2.0 carto on my riva with the cone.. to me, the cone makes a lot of difference in the draw.

Also the boge 1.7 carto is awesome too and ccv sells them for $21.50 free shipping and free drip tips!

I clean mine by plunging with a syringe too. I use a 5ml syringe, cut the end off a carto condom (the long end) to make a sleeve, attach the condom to the bottom of the syringe and attached the carto to the other end. The condom creates a seal and allows for plunging with hot water. Then I set them out to dry. Easy as can be and it works. I haven't killed a carto yet cleaning them this way.

Awesome, my local vendor has them pretty cheap I was just wanting some additional opinions from long time ecig users. So I think I will try Boges and see how it goes. I should've mentioned that I am currently using two blends of eliquid 65/35 and 80/20 and I must say I'm enjoying the 80/20 blend for the flavor. What is the best method for filling the cartomizer, popcap method or "sleeve" or "condom" method?

P.S. I personally prefer the term aerating so hopefully that might catch on.

 

[db13berry]

Good choice. I just drip about 25 drops or so into mine from the white cap end. Just pop the white cap off and drip down the walls of the carto avoiding the inner tube. I drop 15 drops and shake downward like flicking a thermometer, then add 10 more drops and let it sit for a few minutes. With higher VG blend, you will need to let them sit a little longer to saturate the stuffing well. When you are done filling and letting it sit, just blow out from the threaded end (gently) to make sure the inner channel is clear, wipe off the threads, screw onto battery and............ aerate.

Also to add, how does using a drip tip with the cartos work out anyway?

Like Sonny and Cher... drip, drip, drip, drip...

 

[db13berry]

Using the drip tip makes it easier to refill on the go. Instead of having to find something to pop out the white cap with, you just pull off the drip tip and top off the carto. You always want to keep the carto wet, so adding a few drops throughout use will help with the carto life span. Plus, the different colored drip tip are just...........fun. I also find it changes the vapor flow a little.

 

[WyattDerp]

Not to sound too much like a n00b, have you had issues with leakage from the carto using a drip tip with them?

I wouldn't assume you would since the filler would contain the liquid but just curious.

Thanks.

 

[db13berry]

No leaking at all. You do not want the juice to be pooled inside the carto. YOu want it to be slushy looking though. I leave my pvs laying on their side sometimes and no leaking at all.

 

[my4jewels]

I use a drip tip as a mouthpiece, but you can't drip conventionally with a carto that has filler like these do. When I want to drip, I use a 510 atty and a drip tip.

 

[WyattDerp]

Cool. I still want to drip with my atty but I didn't want to drip that way with a carto since I could ruin them dripping directly in the center.

 

[db13berry]

At the moment, I am doing both. I have my Provape loaded up with a dual coil, my Riva loaded up with a Boge LR carto and my other Riva loaded with a LR atty. All have drip tips. I have a red one, a white one and a clear one at the moment. Oh, and way too many bottles sitting next to me that I am dripping with. My end table has been reserved for just me at night. No one else is allowed to use it. If someone puts even a cup on there, it would just be too cluttered and drive me insane.

 

[WyattDerp]

db13berry, LOL. I've been reduced to a Nintendo DS case, and end table with a lamp and my Riva. VIVA LA RIVA! Thank you everyone for all your suggestions and help and I shall be purchasing los boges shortly.

****UPDATE****

Hello all, just an update. I ended up purchasing the 15 for $20 deal on cartomizers from CCV. Thank you all for your suggestions and have a great 4th of July. Be safe.
