Yep, that would be a great analogy. Very stiff and tight draw no matter what you do.
Definitely not the Pluid LOL. But yes, it does feel like you are vaping with no power
As of now, no fix. But I am sure Isaac is analyzing the cartos. Let's give him some time, he will be back on here to let us know. He already offered to send them back for a refund. Not sure about you guys, but I don't know of any vendor that would take back cartos. Every vendor I have seen online states " there is no warranty " on cartos.
Just want to thank you Isaac for the great customer service.
I'm with you new2vaps. Just wanted to comment to let him know others were having the same issue. I ordered based on the reviews of his products, but more importantly, on the reviews of how he handles problems. I'm not concerned he'll do right by us, I just hate he had a manufacturer screw him like that.
I agree. I just don't understand why the manufacturer would modify a good carto design. If it's working, leave it alone lol
New2vaps this was a very nice post and I agree since Isaac has to be reeling from this. Obviously, I do not know what he is up against business wise but he also had the previous problem with the Fusions. It is my understanding and I could be wrong here, was Boge did not cover the Fusion problem for Isaac. I would be very concerned for him if Boge does not cover the Platinum problem.
I went so far as to offer Isaac privately if he could mod the Fusions so I know for sure they will work I will accept a swap. I am storing these for future use so I also indicated I could wait if this was possible.
If someone posted instructions on how to mod the Platinums, I would even go so far as to try modding some on my own to see if they work in an effort to help this terrible situation.
Hopefully, this would help since I ordered more than what I am seeing posted in this Thread.

They're not good at covering mistakes they make. I don't use platinums that often and I haven't found any Fusions to be suffering yet but if I do I'll just fix them myself. After he's done repairing the Fusions he'll start on the Platinums. He just can't catch a break. Ome thing I know, after all the yrs. knowing him, He will mot let his customers down.
So I just received my order of LR Platinum Punch 2s and am a bit distressed seeing this thread. I am guessing this is happening with all platinums from this last batch.... should I be sending these back without even opening a box? I'd love to hear Iken come back in the thread and comment some more on the issue.
The Manufacturer added a membrane that wasm't supposed to be there. You probably got one of the last orders because he was pulling them from the shelf to remove said membrane. You can try one to see if yours are the same (which they probably are) and he will cover that one too. If they are just send them back for a full refund minus my kickback Just kidding, just joking. He's got you covered. When it rains it pours.
I'm in the same boat...just received two boxes in the mail last week. I guess I'll try one and see how it goes.
Sure, There's a post Isaac made here on fixing them. It would be better if you don't know how to just send them back. It's very easy to ruin a carto if you pierce the inner tube. Luckily I didn't get any.
Here is the post he made.
Hey guys,
I'm sorry for the MIA, I have been spending time repairing the 510 Fusions. I had no idea that the same added component was done to the latest Platinums. The gall of Boge for attempting to "enhance" our models on OUR lines is appalling. The Good news is, is that I can fix them. The bad news is, is that it is time consuming. At this time, I have no choice but to offer RMA's and refunds unless anyone is up for modding.
What they did was add an extra layer of protection for scorching around the coil just underneath the insulator that is causing the liquid to stop flowing. It runs from the coil to the port so it's set pretty low right. On the Fusions I have been widening the port to 3mm while piercing the sheet which had tested 100% successfully with a spiral saw. Though I'm fairly certain that a pin will do with the Platinum but I haven't tested it yet.
No worries on emails guys, you will get a reply in just a few moments.
Cartomizers or not, we always have your back.
Sincerely,
Isaac

Hey guys, yes it seems to be hit or miss. I'm having feedback from all around indicating they're perfect and also the tight draw effect.
I opened a few and it seems like the placement of the extra component is different than some. Some are coming down near the port as most are raised up above. These ones perform fine. The S series does not suffer from this effect as they minded the placement due to the slot. I encourage people to try atleast one of their of order with no worries that if they fall victim, they will be compensated for the entire order.
As much as this kills me in more ways than one, Boge has yet to respond to any of their own modifications or trying to work together. I'm going to give them a few days, but as the streak has been going, we may have to discontinue our relationship. By them not taking ownership of this. I am starting to think they are sabotaging our products to under perform. There are shady characters out there who are ruthless and money talks. This was why I tried keeping our factory partners under wraps. It's all speculation until we get a straight answer. Our lines are ran and maintained by select individuals. There's no reason to have these crazy incidences from the 510 Fusion to the 510 Platinum occurring. For future development I have a primary goal in mind, but to reach it while maintaining IKV we're going to pair up with a different factory for the time being while the real workings begin after we fix this mess.

A few stabs with a pin should break the barrier, but I'm not too sure as I can't find one!
I like speed and efficiency, by piercing the sheet with a hand drill, putting it in only a few millimeters. Even halfway through the cartomizer is too much. I picked up a spiral saw to expedite the tedious process and the results have been outstanding. If you want to attempt this, you are more than welcome to but only try out a couple. Because I don't want to pay too much now
Because the policy on anything from here is almost wide open for the refund.Ok I was on the phone last night with a friend and he has successfully did it with the platinum V2 and a pin. I have to give it a go in just a few moments. He said that he used a pin and did not go directly into the middle, but off to the sides slowly and felt his way through delicately. NO force needed just the opening. I'll give it a go and will report back.
Correct sir!
GOOD NEWS! It DOES work! In the words of Lofty, I almost went into a vaping coma here. Nothing beats standing over a glass table with 4mm pyrex bodies and small parts to feel light headed.
Ok This is what you do, take a safety pin and go in completely side ways on the inner outskirts of the laser drilled hole. I went in at 5 points to make sure it works on each side. Just slide it in from the sides only. Don't go directly into the batting. I'm trying to think the best way to describe this, if you see batting bulging from the other side, you would be doing it wrong. Just stick to the outsides of the holes and poke through. Remember, don't go into the filler (batting) Please keep me posted Oz
I'm willing to try this but I don't understand what you're saying: what do you mean by '5 points' and not going directly into the batting? If I put a pin in the hole, isn't the batting right there?
