is there any reason the boge cartos would be better than my volt cartos? I just don't get much flavor from them

Filler, wick and atomizer placement may be slightly different, I haven't felt the need to tear open any cartos yet so I can't answer that definitively. That being said, depending on the resistance of the standard Volt cartos (likely 2.5-2.8) stepping down in resistance will raise the temperature of the atomizer, vaporizing more juice giving you more vapor and better flavor.

As far as which cartos to get, remember that Volt is 808 threaded, so you need to either pick up 808 Cartos (I know LF has 2.0 808 Boges, not sure about other places) or pick up an 808-510 adapter. You can pick one up at GP PV Adapters along with the 2.0 Boge cartos swedishfish mentioned.

I am a 25+ year. 1.5 PAD smoker and I am ashamed to have hung on to the habit for so long..it had a hold on me in the worst way. I struggled with my addiction, heard the warnings of my family and friends, saw the disapproving glances of non-smokers, making me at times feel less than human. I tried to quit. I tried patches, gum, homeopathic tinctures and still I clung to my addiction.

I am by no means an old woman but still I have seen people I love suffer or succumb to smoking related illnesses..lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, heart disease. I know first hand the toll that such an illness takes on the people who suffer them and the toll it takes on the people they love. I have seen the ravages of cancer and until you have sat by the bedside of someone you care for deeply as they lie on their deathbed you will never feel the full impact of smoking..and still I smoked. That is the weight of this addiction..the power that it holds over you.

I feel blessed to have found vaping as an alternative to smoking and for me the potential savings is just a bonus. I don't care if it costs me twice what analogs did, if it spares my children the pain of seeing me die a slow and painful death; if it spares the people I love from seeing me wither away, any cost is worth that.

I wish you well and I sincerely hope you reconsider taking up smoking again. I know its a personal choice but i sincerely hope you will reconsider and find the vaping option that works best for you.

I love Boge on 510 but Boge cartos are not my fave on KR808D-1 (thought I have only tried the 3.0 and need to try the 3.7 ones I got at Liberty Flights)

My faves are the HOT ones, Vapor4Life WOW cartos

I am just trying my first Bloog carto on my KR8 and that bottom coil makes the vape much smoother and maybe cooler which is not the reason I use a KR8. On my KR8 I want to feel the hit. The Bloog carto is nice in every other way and gives a real nice drag but does not seem to have the heat & hit of the Vapor4Life WOW ones (which I need a plastic drip tip on as a mouthpiece - a WOW carto will get too hot for lips)

And BTW I use juices with no more than 20% VG in cartos, often 10% or less. I avoid juices that drop a lot of flavoring sediment because that will clog a carto or atty. The thin juices I use flow easily through the stuffing and my cartos usually give me 7-10 days of good use (which is up to 3 weeks for me before I alternate vaping a pair - one on a KR8 and one on 510 devices).

i run my carts dry all the time and do get that taste in my mouth once i re fill the carts it still tasts like that i found you refill the carts until you get a pool on top the blow the liquid threw not on your battery hold the buttom to plug the hole then blow until you get the fluid to mist out of the little holes refill the card just so it is moist and then start vaping you might get the taste for a sec then it goes away. You attys that dont work after washing i just put them in some water in the microwave for 1 min then put them in let sit for a min then just blow dont put salt or anything in the water salt is an oxidizer and as soon as the coil gets salt on it it rusts and brakes once you add a battery power. I clean once a week and dont have any problems with it i would keep a few attys on hand any way so you dont have to wash them out to change flavors
