So, I received my Old Goat bottom feeder the other day (I'd say last Wednesday or so) and it's been great. Bit of a learning curve so far as how much and when to squonk (love that word) but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Works beautifully with a Boge carto, and it lasts me more than a day before I have to fill it again. To quote, or at least paraphrase, a deeply beloved movie franchise: "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."
I have found one drawback, and that's more attributable to my lack of forethought than anything else. I work as a landscaper, and I had my mod in my pocket so I could grab a quick vape here and there while raking out a bunch of mulch. Long story short, I'm doing my thing, when all of a sudden I smell my e-juice drifting up out of my pocket.
Fearing that it had leaked somehow, I pull my mod out, and find out that all of my raking activity must've tripped the on-off switch and the thing was pocket-firing for a while. The carto was almost too hot to touch, and smelled like a mixture of my GR Burley and burnt plastic. Eccccch. It still fired; I could hear the coil heating something up in there, but there was no way I was vaping burnt filler. So, I have now officially killed my first carto.
From this experience, I have learned a valuable lesson: either take the battery out while working, or leave it at home and take an eGo instead.
Still, all-in-all, I'm enjoying the bottom-feeding experience so far. Now I shall have to focus my efforts on acquiring a Reo, right after I stock up on juice and start dabbling in some DIY. And get my hands on more cartos. And try out some tank systems.
Siiiiigh. Might be a while then.
