hum....I've used Boge 3.0 ohm carto's for over 2 years...used pre-punched and punched my own ... and never have to do a dry pull to get it to work....and bubbles are not an indicator of a properly operating Boge carto....I only see bubbles every once and a while...

I have learned that tanks can sometimes have a lower pressure inside them from vaping (kinda like a vacuum) and it helps to equalize the pressure. You might just open the filler ball and let the pressure equalize and see if that helps...

Releasing the pressure works temporarily. I guess the carto was just full though. After poking into the holes with a needle a couple of times, wicking is getting somewhat better.

I've always had the habit of both directions with a primer puff I guarantee if you'll puff and blow both ways lightly..you will see bubles. like when you were a kid in the chocolate milk. I always got yelled at for that lol.

You'll get some bubbles for sure...

Well, tried that, no bubbles. Some primer puffs every so often do seem to help wicking a bit.

Not going to debate bubbles....just trying to help the guy.....I know what works for me....if you want to primer puff then that's fine but I do not need to do any primer puffs....

I guess in this case, combining both of you guys' advice seems to be working...I'll update on how well it goes tomorrow lol. Primer puffs every so often helps a bit i guess, not TOO often in my case though.

I think the holes punched with the bullet are just too small. I used to get bubbles with the Siam punch, but it would distort the carto. I'm going to try using the Siam punch to enlarge the holes from the bullet punch just a bit. Instead of 2.5 full turns, I'll probably settle the point of the punch in the hole and give it about 1/2 - 1 turn or so just to widen the hole up a bit. That's just an experiment lol.

Search pbsaurdo video... "the hole is too small"

My Raven is starting to stumble...had a somewhat dry hit this morning. A couple dry pulls and it hasn't happened again. Looked at the coil with a flashlight, it is the dirtiest, most gunked up coil I have seen. Still producing great vapor tho...will keep it in till the dry hits become to much or the coil dies...

Well I might that've had success with the dremel slice :). Got the thin cut disc and tried it again form my last females attempts. I think the problem I am having is....age :). I can't seem to tell/see that the filler is exposed and it looks like metal still, I need a magnifying glass...LOL. I took a push pin and poked in the sliced area and sure enough I hit filler. So going to give it a try this afternoon when I change out the carto. Honestly I am not having any issues really with the cartos that are hole punched but not ever using cartos before this I want to make sure I am letting it wick to get the best taste. I have only used three cartos since getting the bb so I think they are doing pretty good. And really I should not have changed them when I did as the taste was still fine but for some reason I felt like I was suppose to be changing every 5 days or so :)

on another note, I lost my favorite drip tip :(. And even worse I can't remember where I got it from....once again...age

got some vape mail from germany, this carto is being made by boge for vape 4 me with a long slice shark laser cut into the side long ways, lines up great with the bottom of the BB tank so it wicks all the way down as the juice level drops.


really similar to the dremel wafer blade slice, just cleaner. it's working really well....

I assume their website is the only place to get one? If so is there a way to purchase where I can understand their descriptions, or a place here in the states to get it from :). I would hate to see shipping on a $2.00 item, even if I bought several not sure it would be worth it

I haven't a clue, i don't speak much german (wife dose) so yah, i couldn't find um to order at all. They were sent to us as a sample, but i haven't seen them before, and that makes me think they are being made to this vape 4 me's specs just for them. However, the same could be done with a dremel,, just not as prett-illy.
