So ok I have only made the one order. I got 10 ml bottles and am regretting this but the vacation persists.

I got the applewood, the maple tobacco and the cappuchino.

Both applewood and cappuchino seems to do fine in my cartomizers and I'm also using a sapphire which is working fantastically.

Maple tobacco however is not doing so well. I can get a hit but more often than not it's just very weak and sometimes nothing at all. It does fine on an atomizer with dripping but I really prefer cartomizers for the convenience. I've read a lot here about the darker juices being difficult to use with cartomizers so maybe this is just a problem with the Maple? I haven't tried it in a sapphire yet.

I am contemplating my next order. Can someone maybe give me a list of which flavors are dark or not cartomizer friendly?

I almost exclusively vape malty toffee and use nothing but carto's with no problems. I also use nothing but reo's to vape and the carto's are just your plain old LR 510's. Although I did just recently try out some dual coils and I am finding it a tad more effort to feed. I wonder if its just the whole combination of pv, carto and juice to make it work nicely.

I also have an issue with my BWB Menthol and my Boge carto's, I could usually last like 7-10 days without cleaning and/or replacing my carto with my regular not so good menthol juice.. but with BWB Menthol after 2 or max 3 days the carto's are dark and they taste like some old sock juice and theres no way of cleaning them so they taste good again like I would have usually done , I know its not that bad at 1.50$ or so a carto, but still I'm wondering if there's anything I could do to get them a better milleage. I love my BWB liquids all 3 flavors are awesome but all 3 destroy carto's so badly it aint funny. Especially since in Canada the prices are a bit high on carto's and the shipping price is more than often more expensive than ordering from a US source. Maybee its time i switch to atties on my REO and that might help ... but i had no luck until now with atomizers... all 3 i had where destroyed within hours of getting them .... they all tasted like poop even tho i blew out the primer... I guess im just not an atty person but i want to enjoy my BWB's in my reo :(

That's entirely possible. My understanding is that thicker juices , like Maltys 30/70 PG/VG blend, tend to wick a lot slower than the usual 70/30 or 80/20 blends, since it's much thicker. 80/20 blends are pretty runny.

I haven't used a REO (just have an eGo), but what kind of attys are you using? Did you try flood priming them with your juice after blowing out the primer? If you're using LR attys, did you make sure to keep them really really wet?

Just curious, since I've been using SR and LR for a while now, and haven't had the problems other people seem to be having.
