The Copper Creek Chit-Chat Thread

[MustangSallie]

I will have to think on this. Because I bought the special carto tool from CC, I've been having ZERO issues refilling. Pop off the d.tip, insert the tool, slide the Phiniac up to about even with the top of the tool, fill to almost the top of the tank, then slide the tank back down. I don't think I'm pressurizing any juice into the carto as I never take the tool out until done, and I never take the caps off. Will have to think on this.

I think Drott is right. It's been my experience that the xl cartos clog faster. I still get a good life out of them, but a tank and a half on an XL carto is still 9ml. An xl carto is only designed to hold 1.4ml of juice and then toss. I know people try and get more, I do it myself, but that's not an entirely realistic expectation. One tank full is already more than Boge designed the carto to hold. More is icing, but one should be good enough.

From Boge:

3) We think the way of filling e-liquid into the cartos is crucial for their performance. For prefilled cartos, we use an injector to fill e-liquid deep inside the cartos twice. Each time the e-liquid is distributed evenly in three different places. In this case we can make sure that the heating coil is fully infiltrated before the users inhale. This is why our prefilled cartos perform so well so far. For blank ones, we are not able to control the users' way of filling. An user can get the burnt taste easily if the heating coil is not fully infiltrated. Please fill in the e-liquid correctly to ensure that all units work well.

4) VG e-liquid is thicker than PG one. It takes more time (maybe 5-10 minutes) for VG e-liquid to go through the fiber filler and reach the heating coil. We don’t know how our blank cartos work with other brand of e-liquid. We only know that Boge cartomizers, filled with Dekang e-liquid, are gold standard in the electronic cigarette industry.

5) Some users put our blank cartos into clear tank (like the so called DCT or F16) and find that they don't work well. This is quite understandable as our cartos are not designed to be used in the clear tank. Our cartos are intended to be used with 3.7v batteries only. It’s not recommended to use our cartos with other devices.

They go on to point out that their cartos are a disposable item, intended for one use only. Carto's were designed way before the tanks.

While it would be fantastic if we could continue to run juice through the same carto forever, it is just not what they were designed for. Dark juices do tend to clog them faster than light juices, but there is nothing that a juice maker can do about that. We don't have any control over the colors of our ingredients. I have asked our suppliers if it is possible to get clear flavors and the answer is no.

Personally, I am happy getting a tank of juice out of a carto, that is 6 times what the manufacturer designed them to do.

Well said. Thank you for pointing this out.

She had my dieing laughing last night. She got home from work, came to the mancave with the graham crackers and Nutella. She had a butter knife, though Im not sure what for. She started dunking the crackers in it. Then she looked like a little kid trying to fit her hand in the jar to get where the crackers wouldnt reach.

 

[Drottwiler]

Bamrz I see ya down there.??? for ya.Do you know if theres any vidos of making the coils on a screw floating around?I'm not being sucessful finding one.

 

[Bamrz]

OK, thanks to your, ............. ummm, ................. "support", hehe, I have a chrome "blem" Provari w./ large batts, and extender caps coming. I've only had my (first) Provari (silver) for about 3.5 weeks now. Love it, great, I finally get why people buy them. Can a guy (me) use some sort of matchie match excuses on the (new) wife as to it's purchase ?? Matchie match meaning, when we chose our rings, I wanted classic gold (old school) but she wanted silver-ish, so we chose Tungsten Carbide as it is very brilliant, almost indestructable, and looks like a highly polished Titanium, or chrome finish.

Soo, I'm thinking, "Ok, ok I can sell this, hehe". You know, the whole, "But you JUST got that OTHER thing, why did you need a NEW thing just like it" ? conversation. The chrome Provari would be a MUCH better match for the chrome (looking) Tungsten, IMO. Now she will most def. steal the silver Provari from me once I get the new one, but I think I can sell this. Women, matchie matchie, or is it hopeless for a guy to try and "sell" this ?

I'm in agreement with giving your wife the silver one before she has to steal it. And a Bella tank (with or without a Bedazzled tube) would just be more awesome.

Going to grab more coffee....

They really need to include a mini-spatula with every jar. Even my long fingers can't reach into all the corners!

There probably are, but I don't remember seeing one. I do remember hearing about doing it.

Happy Birthday Peggy!

She figured that would be a problem. The solution: A smaller jar. One where her finger WILL reach the bottom!

Happy Birthday Peggy!

Thats what Im talkin' about!!!!

1st weekend day of sunshine in a month. Yard is overgrown, mower is broke and I need to fix the ac gasket on the pop up camper. Sounds craptastic don't it?,

 

[stretchpants]

Maybe it's just me (lucky)but I have yet for CC juice to clog anything..I vape ccc non stop. I even set an alarm for 3 A.M. tor a quick ccc vape. I use boge cartos in many different tanks.Phiniac,Lava,Bella, and unique. Sometimes I punch 2 holes sometimes just one.I'm just random not scientific.Sometimes it's a 2 punch day sometimes it's just 1. I only vape a Provari and copper creek juices.

I'm rather hoping I'm doing something wrong but not sure. It's not even really JUST CC juice, as I've had issues before with a darker juice BWB Expresso, clogging up the works. So far I've been tanking CCCCC, Pastry, and Cool Aide. Using an XL Phiniac Tank, with Boge 3.0 XL cartos with 2 medium sized punched holes on the Provari. Yesterday, I honestly only got through one full tank of Pastry (and maybe 1/2 of the next tank) before the carto started to really tighten up. Then before I could finish the 2nd tank, it almost choked off and started sputtering.

Pastry isn't all that dark (or thick I think @ a 60/40 mix) of a juice. I'm almost done first tank of Cool Aide, so I won't know until I try and load up a 2nd to see what happens, but I'm starting to sense with the aforementioned juices I can barely seem to get 2 full tank fulls before I start to have issues.

I guess I had fully EXPECTED this if I were using a dark, gooey, thick mix, but hadn't expected to have to start tossing cartos so soon on seemingly easier juices. How about you guys ??

Happy Birthday Mr. FV and many many more....

Good Morning Posse!

Catch up time here, give me a few.

It's Mr. V's birthday today.

 

[stretchpants]

Me too. Just do it....

Tell her you bought the chrome one so you could give her the silver satin one. You said she was going to steal it anyway. You might as well just get it over with and it might get you off the hook on the chrome purchase.

And I see Tiff agrees...

 

[stretchpants]

Ditto. I forgot to tell him to blow it out..

Sounds like your flooding the carto on the refill. Do you blow out the carto after you refill, make sure the center tube is clear? I can get 5 or 6 tank fulls on CC 60/40 juices like chocolate ice cream. That's a fairly dark juice. I could probably go more, but I make it a rule to toss after about a week and that's how many tanks I go through of one juice in about a week.
