Who'd you rather? Boge or Bauway?

[icemanx3]

Hi all...I am going to grab 2 more atomizers just to have in case of emergency. madvapes sells both Boge and Bauway 2.5 ohm units. I kinda want to see what LR is all about, assuming 2.5 ohm is "low" resistance, since my RoughStack kit came with 3 ohm. I'm kinda thinking it probably doesn't really matter which brand.

So, who'd you rather?

Thanks a bunch!

I'm a fan of Boge myself, i don't like many of Bauway's products, but it's all down to the individual product really, why don't you try one of each and see what you think ?

2.5 ohms is NOT low resistance. 1.7 or so is...but I would not even believe the 2.5 claim...

I would not touch either! I bought this Bauway kit from madvapes: 510 eGo Kit

The batteries have a ~4 second cut off that interrupts me mid draw unless I pulse the button to get around it...very annoying! I have not tested them on a meter but they barely put out enough power to get any vapor going. They are simply very weak.

It came with 2 atomizers that I really don't know if they are Bauway (it's a Bauway kit) or Boge or what, but one of them had a black rubber seal (ring) at the connection end, the other white, with a larger hole, so they were not even the same! One had a resistance of 3.4 ohms (pretty high for a 3.7 battery, especially a weak one) and the other had a resistance of 4.9 ohms! That one has to be run on 5+ volts to even function. Neither of them perform very well at all...even on a better battery or 5 volt passthrough.

I'll stick with Joye from now on. At least 6 out of 10 of their atomizers work.

I love using low res attys on my roughstack. I have had good luck with the 1.7 Ohm attys from Madvapes but I really like the attys from Ikenvape the best.

BAUWAY toootally. No second thoughts about it. Their atomizers are work horses. And since you're gonna get LR, that's all I use from Bauway and they kick my ...!

I really like how the Bauway 801 cartomizers vape. I like that they have the traditional tip, are easy to add liquid to and it's a great vape on a 5 volt PV. However, they are "hit or miss" on quality. I've had several that were DOA but MadVapes replaced those.

Ok interesting. And thanks Quexos for clearing that up. I wasn't sure when people say LR what the actual ohm range value should be. So it sounds like anything well below 2 ohms would be considered LR?

I am on the waiting list now at MV for the Bauway 1.7 ohm 510 atomizers. I guess I'll give it a shot.

I really appreciate everyone's feedback on this!

Yeah, I think that would be a good assumption. I think I have seen them rated at 1.7 - 1.9. And normal atomizers at 2.2 - 2.5.

That said, the 2 atomizers that came with my Bauway kit were both crap and had high/very high resistance. If those were the same as the Bauway attys Madvapes sells outside of a kit...they are junk and the 2.5 ohm claim is BS. They may be the SLB atomizers they show as 3.2 ohm, though I have no idea why they would toss those into a "Bauway" kit. either way, one was junk, the other was junk on anything lower than 5 volts...translation, they were both junk considering they came with a 3.7 volt kit.

All I use are authentic Joyes (2.1Ω) I buy from LiteCig. The imitations just don't cut it.

I don't quite get your '6 out of 10' comment. I've only had 2 bad ones in over a year. Bad meaning they only lasted for about 2 weeks.

To the OP, a standard Joye will probably feel like LR if all you have been using are knock-offs (it actually is LR in comparison).

Recently I bought 10 (2 x 5 packs) Joye 510 atomizers from Heaven Gifts. Upon first use when brand new...2 were DOA, totally cold and dead. 1 had a resistance of 4.9 ohms and popped instantly the first time I tried to use (pretty much DOA). 1 will glow red and get hot, but produce only the tiniest little puff of vapor and has an extremely hard draw...feels plugged up. 6 worked ok...2 worked really well.

In short. 10 new attys. 4 were completely unusable. Only 2 were really good performers, and only 2 more were what I would call "good". 2 were ok at best.

Of the 22 or so atomizers I have owned since starting vaping ~7 months ago, that has been a pretty constant scenario. Buy 10, get 4 good ones, 2 crappy/leaky/fiddly ones, and 4 completely dead ones.

Time for a new supplier.

I have had good luck with the genuine Joye attys from Cignot. So far the only under-performing attys I have received came with the Rivas. Switched them out with Joye attys.

To the OP:

If you're talking about a 510, then regular = 2.1 to 2.5 ohms, LR = 1.5 to 1.9 ohms. You really need a meter to get the full story on an atty, it doesn't matter what they sold it as, they turn up at any rating and you have to sort them out according to what they will work best on, for example an eGo, or 3.7, or 5 volts.

A lot of atties are coming out faulty now, with the airways plugged up. They meter OK but the pull is very hard and they produce little or no vapor. There's no fix for this, they are DOA.

Honestly, I haven't had ANY atomizers die on me. Bauways haven't had any more problems than Joye's but I find that the Bauways REALLY deliver the throat hit and vapor so much more. Joye's tend to work fine the first couple of days then drop off in production for the rest of their life span. But seeing as I've never had one die I can't say what their lifespan might be VS eachother. Both have proven their quality, just bauway tends to give a better vaping experience. The Joye does what it's supposed to do, but to a very minimal extent.

This is the quest - better performing & longer lasting attys. I haven't had good success w/ Bauway ..low vapor, short life. I've tried everything except the new CE2 (version 4). I HAVE had pretty good success w/ Boge cartos (reg. = 3 ohm; LR = 2 ohm). They last about 1-2 weeks & a 5 pack sells for about 7.95. These days I'm using the boge cartos LR & reg. 510's from Joye Tech. Joye's LR 510's haven't lasted long for me. SLR is crap. Expert brand have a wide bridge & produce tons of great vapor, but only last a few days ($6.95 each). They are top notch performers for 2 days. The best combo of performance & life-span remains 510's from Joye w/ attys, and boge LR cartos. But, like most, I'm always looking for better. Companies like Joye & Royal Smokes are always looking to improve product.

Why, they're Joye, all suppliers have the same thing...unless you know one that puts every single atty on a multimeter before shipping.
