What do you mean by wasting them? If thats what you like best I would just stay with it, I have wasted so much money trying cartos and always go back to the 1.5s because of the same issues you have had with others

I don't know about the tight pull, but to really get warmth, you'll need a VV device that can handle more than 2.5A output. Something like the ProVari v2, EVO, forthcoming SmokTech VMax, Buzz/Infinity Pro, or a stacked mechanical mod that takes a pair of 3V batteries (use with 1.5 or 2.0ohm duals). That will push the dual coils to levels where the vape is nice and warm. I personally use the EVO at medium (4.7V) with 1.5ohm dual coils, and when my ProVari gets back from being upgraded I'll probably use that at around 4.5-5V.
I've tried a bunch of voltages with different cartos but keep coming back to a 1.5 ohm dcc with an AW IMR 3.7 volt being my sweet spot. Heat, draw and flavor are just what I like. All the new choices keep me interested but I always come back to that combo, so I finally bought 50. Now it's time to thin the herd!
24 hrs later...
Worked better, but getting very hot and almost burns when hit harder at the end of the 24 hrs. I tried to run extra juice so that the gunk would drip out and even blew a little out and it still is doing this for me.
I got 6 days out of my first one. I did go through 3 different flavors in those days, and usually try to keep only one flavor til the atty or carto is no good anymore to avoid flavors mixing and creating any kind of clogging issues...
Next I will boil (something I could not do with the SS with black tape on it since I did not want to be vaping any residual glue from the tape)
Oh...if I boil mine the glue will melt? Oops I do that a lot.
I boiled and dissected. Some gray gunk came off when I rubbed the glue against my hand. I'm hoping it was just because it was hot...the rest of the carto looked ok. I tossed all my other cartos so I'm vaping it anyway! I guess I would rather smoke glue than tobacco.
I just chunk them in the trash when they go bad, lol. Still more cost effective then playin dice with atty life. Drop 10 bucks on an atty to have it die in 1 day... that will make yah mad. Spend $2 bucks on an atty straight from china and it lasts 4 months. You never know, but at least with a cheap carto you are not loosing much, even if it is DOA.
I had a couple of Boges that lasted me at least 3 weeks! I didn't even have to clean them. I just kept them topped off. When I dissected them they were just a tiny bit burnt. I'm very impressed with Boges!
Stownz you have a LOT of mods! Do you use them all?

Update:
I just got 13 days out of that CCV! Unfortunately, the next one only lasted about 3 hours, and then got a light burnt taste and I could no longer stand it!
Either way, approx 15 weeks of cartos for around $22 is not a bad deal!

Im using the Provari Mini and with 1.5s at 5.0V they jsut seem to get way to hot and do not perform as well....it seems anything above the 4.6V they seem to just crap out but yet they seem to do way better than the 2.0s and 2.5s on any voltage.

That may be that particular carto or batch of itself though. SmokTech's QC has been pretty shoddy of late, and I currently have several packs of DCT cartos that are all over the place; some don't wick properly and burn, particularly at high voltage, some wick too well (not enough filler) and flood, some work fine but clog up after only a couple of days even using the same juice I got a week and a half out of previously ... it's just a mess. SMK really need to get back on the ball.
The CCV XL Smoktech 1.7 ohm cartos and the MadVapes Smoktech 1.7ohm cartos.
Yuck
I know a lot of people like those but I keep hearing about bad batches lately.

I love 'em - you could swap or PIF them and just disclose that they seem to be bad batches. I'm still thinking there's a reason they tasted bad - was it a burning flavor, an off flavor or what? Maybe there's a solution so your money wasn't wasted. Hard to return them I assume.
That's a good idea. Maybe I'll end up doing that. I have a lot left. When was your last batch ordered?
It was a chemical taste, really bitter and sour. I can boil them and then flush them and they seem to taste ok, it's just a pain and I worry why the polyfill tasted like that in the beginning.
