This thing is performing like a champ with just one punched hole 50/50 grants vanilla custard with a 1.7ohm single coil. Very impressed with this and it hasn't even been 24hrs yet. I can't wait for my second one to come in June and extra tanks.

What did you use to punch that?

Okay. I'll do everyone here a favor regarding Boge SR Cartos. I was going to keep this to myself, but then I'd feel bad about it.

Laser cut, with a 2.3 to 2.5mm hole, and they wick incredibly awesome. I disturb the visible material with a needle a couple of times for thicker juices. Helps ensure it wicks like a madman.

Can be bought here in a 5-pack with a free bottle of juice:

Boge 510 3.0 Pre Punched Stainless Cartomizer 5 Pack - 1 Hole

Or here in singles for a higher price. Why you'd want to do so, I'm not sure.

The hole is a tad higher up than I'd like, but it's tough to complain when it's a perfectly cut hole.

I did not have any leaks in mien while it was sitting in the box, however I think using a pipe cutter which slightly curved the cut end inward caused it to not have a connection with the brass ring. :(. So I never got to try

I really wish the Ravens had worked better for everyone. I am thrilled with the 4 I have in service right now.

For some reason I thought this thing was supposed to cut out when the battery's were low? I just pulled them out to test them and 1 was at 2.5v and the other was 3.2v.

What type of batteries are you using... The black AW's shut down on their own. I don't believe... Someone correct me if I'm wrong...That the BB does it on its own.

AW IMR batteries do not need a protection circuit as individually they can safely discharge up to 10 A without suffering thermal runaway - which is why they're preferred for mods that allow high wattage vaping..

Normal batteries need a protection circuit that prevents them from suffering thermal runaway when the current draw becomes too large.

Either type should work fine in the BB :)

They will both work but the red ones will drain themselves very low, lower than recommended. Where as the black protected ones will cut themselves off after dropping to a certain voltage(I believe 3.4 volts is its cutoff) so just keep an eye on your voltage with the red ones till you get an idea of how long they will last before needing to recharge. Then you can just go by a time frame for when you need to swap batts

That's the answer I'm looking for thank you

Ah man. My 3 day old carto was kicking fine yesterday, and now it's burning.

Got a question though:

I use 75/25 juice but I punch (well, lately) 4 holes in the bottom of my cartomizer with the Supco line tap valve (Bullet punch)

The holes are much smaller than those from my Siam punch, but it doesn't deform anything.

I get zero gurgling, no juice in my mouth, nothing. 3ohms at 4.5-4.75v. I find myself having to push on the face of the tank often (the past 2 cartos).

I prime each one with about 1.2ml of juice using the condom method and most of it gets absorbed too.

Could too many holes, 4 in this case, reduce the lifespan of a carto even if it isn't flooding? Mine's tasting pretty dry.
