Just started with the lavatube and for now I am using a 2 ohm cartomizer. I made my own drip tip out of the black rubber finger grip tube from a pen. I am adding liquid after approximately 20 puffs just to keep that fresh full taste of flavor. I will be getting 3 ohm boge cartomizers, and a drip tip in soon and I will be ordering a tank as soon as I can. Will having the tank solve this for me?

Puffs are so subjective. Keep the carto wet. Don't worry too much about how much juice you are going though. If you are getting consistent symptoms of nic overload, consider a lower nic juice.
First and foremost, our objective here is to stay off the death sticks. Whatever works.

4.2V at 2 ohm is a hot vape. The wick is probably having trouble keeping up with you, and isn't drawing the juice fast enough. Also, with that hot a vape, the flavor is taking a hit anyway.
If you don't want to refill every 20 puffs, try removing the carto and flicking it like a mercury thermometer to force the liquid down in the carto. Then wait a minute for the wick to absorb some new liquid. Just as much trouble as refilling IMHO, so....
A tank will definitely help. You will definitely get a cooler vapor with the Boge 3.0, and thus more flavor, but the wicking delay will still be there.

fill as often as you need just dont flood
keep the cartos filled and they will treat you with with better flavor and longer life
higher voltage will burn through juice faster but will give you better hits
the carto tanks will feed the juice for you and stop the constant refilling
congratulations on your new lava tube

You really don't need the LR cartos now that you have HV. IMO a 3ohm carto at HV gives better flavor than a LR at a lower voltage.
Try a 3ohm carto and bump that voltage up. See what happens.

Thanks, and I am vaping pretty much constantly so that probably adds to me being bothered by refilling. I did go from 24mg down to 18mg of nic so I can vape more cause I like the taste.
spaceballsrules had it right. I would suggest considering, on your next order, getting XL or Mega cartos. A world of difference when it comes to re filling.
What is the PG/VG of your juice? You don't want it too thick (too much VG) or it won't move quickly enough to rewet the coil area. And I also avoid all opaque or cloudy juices (typical dark but sometime light) that drop flavoring sediment in the stuffing - sediment will crap up a carto quickly, clogging the stuffing, baking on the coil, ruining airflow, wicking, vapor and flavor at an accelerated rate
And in general, the hotter you vape the faster the coil will vaporize juice AND the easier the carto will singe (so it becomes more critical to keep the carto damp.

Typically, people go with 70/30 or 80/20 (PG/VG) with cartos. The tank will make PG/VG inconsequential.
Another thing that happens is that some juices have sediment which clogs everything up and slows wicking.
Flavoring used in juices can also affect the overall viscosity. Light juices, typically the fruits and such, are thinner, and darker juices, such as tobacco, are thicker.
Great "tip" on the rubber finger grip drip tip! I use atty/carts during the work day but prefer cartos around home but the ends are not comfortable on my lips. My intention is to order drip tips on my next order, which I'm trying to postpone to get my newbie spending under control, so after reading this I've added a rubber finger grip to my carto and it not only makes it more comfortable, it's giving me a shot-gun hit of vapor. Love it!
