...do you mean cartos or carts...best in the biz for cartos is Crystal Clear Vaping ......
Carts here are cartridges that push onto an atomizer
Cartos are cartomizers which screw onto the battery
Where to get cartos depends on what model you have. And slim models should only use 2.5 to 3 ohm single coil cartomizers.
510 - most use Boge 510 cartos. Slim 510 use standard resistance 2.5 to 3 ohm and generally you can only find the ones around 3 ohm, not the 2.5. Fat 450mah+ 510-threaded models can use standard resistance OR the hotter LR low resistance 2 ohm Boge cartos.
KR808D-1 - some of the nicest are Bloogplanet/SmokelessImage/Halocigs G6 which may all be the same absorbent horizontal coil 2.6ohm ones. V4L WOW cartos are also good but hotter on the lips so use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece.
If you do not have one of those threadings then what do you have?

As always veteran dormouse hits the nail on the head!
I will add that VaporGod.com has an excellent deal on Boge cartos and some others that come with a free bottle of juice!! They have some of the lowest price cartos by an American company I've yet to find. Remember that most companies selling Boge, or Smoketech what have you tend to get them from the same manufacturer. So the quality should be the same but the prices may differentiate seller to seller.

i have experinece with boge and ikenvape cartos but i get a dud one or two per 5 pac and when i fill them i take a couple of puffs and i get a harsh burnt taste so i filled them up agian untill i over fill and they start to leek to make sure they are filled all the way and the same thing happens i generally dont like cartos im going to get another hh 357 but i like to keep a cartomizer handy when i dont want to fiddle with liquid but i dont want to buy cartos if they are not going to work thanks for the info tho guys
I've had good success with Halo (for K808 and 510 cartos), and Madvapes & Liberty Flights for 510 Boge 2.0 cartos. As I've learned from the good folks on this forum, it's critical to make sure that the first fill is really, truly full (there are different ways of doing this--syringe, etc. I usually just let it sit for a while). Otherwise you can burn an otherwise good carto.
you cant beat his carto deal...do you mean cartos or carts...best in the biz for cartos is Crystal Clear Vaping ......
first - I would like to add - slim ecigs use SINGLE coil cartomizers. There is no dual coil carto meant for slim ecigs. Certainly not the 1.5 ohm ones, and the 2.5 ohm ones are two 5 ohm coils and meant for high voltage mods 6-7 volts.
danielm - burnt taste is not a dud. Burnt taste is not filling to stated capacity of 1ml, not settling after filling, not keeping the carto damp, or using too thick juice that can't move quickly enough through the stuffing to keep the coil area damp. I have used over 100 Boges and never had a dud.
This is how I fill. You can fill other ways but you still have to fill to STATED capacity, cleanup, settle and keep damp. I use thin clear juices only. Thin around 80PG/20VG so they move quickly through the stuffing , and light clear juices that don't drop carto clogging flavoring sediment.

How I fill V4L/Volt/Bloog KR8 cartos and Boge 510 cartos
With the carto off the battery... Pop out the soft cap with an unbent paperclip in the mouth hole, very careful not to catch stuffing or the wire loop.
Shake and open the eliquid
Fill
Hold a bit of tissue on the threaded end hole (or use the carto condom spike to block the hole),tilt the carto, and add 18 drops per ml of capacity into the stuffing (Boges and most KR8 cartos are about 1ml). You may need to wait a bit for the first few to soak in, then continue. After getting the 18 in, wait 15 seconds or so then see how many more drops the carto stuffing will soak in easily.
Cleanup
Clean up the threaded end, tilt open end down into tissue, puff into threaded end to clear air channel (Boges and the KR8 cartos I use have a defined center air channel and I want to see light through that) While the carto is still open end down, touch a soft bunch of tissue to the top of the stuffing to get the loose juice - this will help prevent leaks.
Settle (first fill only)
Cap and let it settle - I lay it on different sides and on the ends for 15-20 minutes to make sure every bit of stuffing gets damp so I won't singe the carto. if you use thicker juice than me (I use 20% Vg or less) then you may need to wait much longer.
While vaping
While vaping, if the vapor gets a bit light or a bit dry or the carto is getting hotter than normal, I take the carto off the battery and add eliquid. Also, I use such light sediment-free juices, I can look at the stuffing and see if it needs juice because the stuffing goes back to near-white.
I often use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece on Boge and KR8 cartos (not to drip into since the juice would head for the central air channel). Easy to pop out to add juice.
