A few quick questions. Sorry, I don't have to time to research this whole thread. Is punching holes in the Boge 510 cartos working better than Dremeling the slots? If so, how are you punching the holes? Thanks!

I've used both and for my juice the slot works better. I think what juice you use makes a difference.

They don't call me Big Fran for nothing.(6'5" 280lbs.) LOL

It is working fine. It's not leaking and it is very tight. I guess it just cut it to the right size.

Hey Fran when your done there. I have this square peg I need you to put in this round hole please. :laugh:

When I was dremeling the slots in my Boges, I took enough time with each carto to smooth down the edges as much as possible. I did about 10 a day for several days, making sure those edges were smooth. Time will tell if I did a decent job of slotting those cartos. Another SS 3ml and SS 5ml coming in tomorrow (my luck, Monday).

Well success..sorta

I got a one-handed spring punch from Lowe's yesterday and a clamp and also a regular punch tool.

Got home, saw that the one handed spring punch you push down on...ugh so I figured what the heck and I used a hammer with it and it made a small hole and then I used a nail I had and tapped with the hammer a little more to make the hole bigger and there ya have it, it was there. The carto really wasn't deformed, it had a very very small divet but hardly noticeable from looking from the side so I guess I didn't hit it too hard. The other punch tool didn't do anything as it wasn't really sharp.

So for the punch experts :) is that pretty much it? I don't really have anything to try it out on as I was using an old carto. Also what do you use or recommend for holding the carto in one place? The clamp somewhat worked but didn't know if a vice is better? They had a vaccum vice for about $20 but didn't know if that would work.

Also, question for anyone.....where do you buy your stainless steel cartos from, non-slit or non-punched regular Boge version?

Thanks for the help and info everyone.

Just ordered two more of these (1 black derlin, and 1 SS) That will be 4 total now. also ordered a DCT from COV to compare!

I did try the Dual coils for the first time today and will compare them to using my provari at 4.7 volts on a regular cart for flavor and th. the draw is a little tighter feeling than the regular...

YES these on a provari rock. Also love the LR's on my SuperMini GLV.....

Just thought I'd let you know that Good Prophets will be carrying the Boges for $5.99 a box starting next week I think.

Awesome, I think crystal clear vaping might eventually stock them as well if there is enough interest. I am sooo on the fence if I should\need\have to order the SS version LOL I don't need it but want it, but it will be so nice......

If I can get this punching carto thing down, I am set.

I tried the dual carto and prefer the Boge but just my preference. They weren't bad or anything, probably just cause I am used to the Boge and I don't need a warmer\hotter vape but to each is own I guess.
