Hi everyone....

so... maybe it's the case of bad cartos..... or bad atties.... but lately... my vape production is fading bad on my 5v....
i got a box of 2.0 ohm cartos..... and the vape production is so so..... i tried 3.0 ohm... and all i got was burning ... taste.....yes... fraternity days...... great fun wasn't it?

anyways.... i'm using 50/50 mix and most of my liquids are fruity to candy....and some tobacco........

can anyone recommend or explaine the ohm and what would be a great combo for my 5V HP Saber Touch?

thanks!:vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor:

You shouldnt be getting burnt taste in a 3ohm since the 2ohm you have should be runnning hotter not colder . The lower the ohm the hotter/higher performance its gonna be . At 5v a 3ohm boge should be perfect . It should be a hot hard hitting vape with lots of popping sounds . 2ohm should be hitting even harder but might be too hot of a vape . ANything below 2ohm wont work because it will put out too much power/watts for your PV/cartos

Every once in a while, I come across a Boge 3.0 that had filler issues, just won't wick. It could be that you came across some of them. Otherwise, I'd have to agree it's too dry. Using a 3.0 at 5V needs lots of topping off to keep it wet. I love my 3.0's in a cartotank, never have to worry about it getting dry. IMHO, 3.0@5V is awesome!

I would be worried about killing your carto using 2 ohm on a 5 volts. Specified in the "Atomizer watts charts" it should give you 12.50 watts produced.

An atty of 2.5 to 3 ohms should do you just fine, or a 3.0 ohm carto. Just be warned, a lot of fruity flavors get killed on higher voltage mods

Interesting, I tought everyone agreed that on higher voltage you needed less nicotine and less flavor when vaping on it. I'm in the process of acquiring a 6 volts, think my lemonade or banana cream juice will taste less instead of my 3.7 volts reo?

I just picked up 200 boges . 150 sr and 50 LR straight from bogetech at .50 a piece or 120.00 shipped .Love my boges . Unbeatable performace and quality control

You got a source on those? That would be an awesome way to pick em up and SR and LR Boge's are pretty much my gold standard in vapig, and I can imagine 200 of em lasting me a year or so anyway

Dc 3v is gonna need 7v or more to get a good vape . A 3ohm boge at 5-6v is the best hardest hitting vape iv experienced and where i vap most of my juices . If you dont hear snap ,crackling and shooting vapor you havent experienced vaping . When a carto is working great imo you always hear and see that . You actually see vapor sparks shoot out the drip tip like asteroids . I always get it with boges and emdcc's . Id also say 90% of my flavors work best with this combo . I got the 200 boges from bogetech through alibaba .They have ""good"" payment options as well .

Agree, when using a carto in a 5 volt or higher having a tank is the way to go. Another option is the CE2's or CE3's. You go thru a lot of juice. When at 5 volts I like 2.8 ohms but my best vape is 7.4 volt using a 4.5 ohm.
