Through all my tinkering and experimenting thus far on the vmax I must say that the 'best' vape I've yet experience with an absolute minimum of muss and fuss, are the 801 Boge Fusions (2.9ohm - single coils) in a DCT. It has become for me the standard by which I compare all others. While the DID does match and even exceed the quality of this vape, I can see how many would simply not be interested in the time, effort and learning curve inherent in the RBA options.
I want to once again thank VAPNJ350 and Freddie for turning me on to these cartos. They're simply fantastic...if you can find them. Not many places stock them.
I've tried many hole configurations as recommended by both Freddie and J and it is apparent that not all hole methods are optimal depending on your
juice viscosity. The perfect hole configuration for my somewhat thinner tobacco
juice is 3. 2 small ones on the bottom directly opposite each other, one small up top just below the top seal. When I punched a 4th hole in the middle I'd get flooding or excessive gurgling, although the 4 hole setup and/or larger holes is good for my thicker juices. I'm getting an absolutely fantastic vape with this setup and the Fusions have been both consistent and last longer than any other I've tried (Boge, Kanger, ST in both SC, DC, low standard and high resistance). Takes me less than 2min's to punch the carto and fill the
tank so this for me gets the nod as to the vape quality/effort equation. I have yet to try the vivi's and E2's.
