Hi lads, did you tryed those cartos from bestshop?

http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/blank-cartomizers/130-dct-dual-coil-cartomizer-with-hole.html

They are on the way to me and would like to know what I can expect it's my first set with DCT V2 tank and ego-C Twist VV.
Have never before use vaping stuff.

Load of crap in my experience im afraid! Have a read of this thread and you'll see plenty of reviews and suggestions.

borygo77 · 02-07-2012 7:38pm

I've been reading a lot already

Think the boge ones are best for all ppl using cartos?

Is there any diffrence between boge when you get them from shop x and shop y ?

Do you know about any place in Wexford where I can buy stuff? Hate online shopping ;/

eeloe · 02-07-2012 7:48pm

The Boge cartos are the same pretty much everywhere, the only thing that may differ is the price, but you won't beat The Best Shops price or boges...10 for 13euro...

borygo77 · 02-07-2012 7:59pm

Thanks eeloe will see how the one I orderd works and then will order boge from bestshop. Hope it'll help me give up analogs

eeloe · 02-07-2012 9:14pm

It definitely will, a good battery matched with a boge carto and a nice juice is a Vaping match made in heaven.

The juice is the hardest part to find, what one person likes, another may hate ya know, everyone's tastes are different!

borygo77 · 03-07-2012 6:07am

Lads another night with reading plenty of reviews

Now I know that boge soft tips are best to work with tanks. I've got DCT V2 which is smaller one.
Found here boge cartos http://www.bargainvapour.com/Boge_Cartomizers_Silver/p1274299_7044648.aspx
But which one should I buy ? Standard or XL version ? Maybe ya know where to find better boge cartos ?

Thanks for reply!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 03-07-2012 9:19am

Looks like I have a smiliar question. Are these the correct Boge parts for the
Smoktech 510 DCT V2 3,5ml

Where is the best for picking up a punch?

Eoin · 03-07-2012 11:24am

They look correct, though I'd get the stainless ones.

This arrived yesterday - I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks like it was made specifically for punching carts!

Cheers folks. What about these in XL? - http://www.bargainvapour.com/Boge_Cartomizers_Silver/p1274299_7044648.aspx - seeing as I'll need the puncher too. Is low resistance best in a DCT? I bought 2 DCTs. One for low res and one for standard but I don't know what the difference is really.

Got my puncher and 10 boge stainless xl today. Punched one put it in and filled with juice, dripped into it too. Burnt taste no matter what. I give up. I'll do without tanks I think. Too much juice just going into these tanks and then wasted.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 03-07-2012 6:23pm

dont throw it away or sell it yet, bring it down to the vapefest and im sure someone will haev an idea what's going on

Yep, same with the first one I got too. Second one seems OK so far - hoping the dud ratio gets lower as we go on!

eeloe · 06-07-2012 4:41am

The thing I find with the boges, if you get a burning taste once, you'll never get rid of it, so try to keep them saturated as much as you can.

That's not to say, the first one wasn't a dud, it very well could of been, but it's just another thing to think of.

Eoin · 06-07-2012 11:02am

With the smaller Boge ones, ezsmoke recommend to drip a good bit of liquid into it and then just leave it for 30 minutes before you use it for the first time.

The second Boge one is going great for me so far - the tank isn't slipping much, so should do me until the jtank arrived.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 06-07-2012 11:16am

ive seen people reccomend that alright but I never did that
as soon as I saw juice dripping out the end i'd vape it. if it was a very thick liquid I'd let it sit for a couple of minutes then drop some more in but 30 minutes? seems way too long.. just covering their arses i'd imagine to stop people driping it half full and vaping

Eoin · 06-07-2012 11:40am

Yeah, that could be the case.

I've no doubt that the first Boge I got is a complete dud and has nothing to do with the preparation, but the second one is going great so far. The punch I got pushes in the side of the cart a little, but does seem to have done the trick.

borygo77 · 06-07-2012 12:26pm

I'm Happy vaper from tuesday

have'nt got real fag since. Useing DCT cartos from thebestshop and also got 5pcs boge ones from bargainvapour but I can't feel any diffrence in them except price

Its 4th day on DCT original carto and never got burning taste!

Ordered also ego vision (CE4) from bargainvapour and it was my last try on these type of tanks! Oh lord, don't try them lads!

burn, burn and only burn taste from it.

Eoin · 07-07-2012 9:25pm

Still waiting for my JTank, but the DCT tank isn't slipping too much with the Boge.

I'm starting to use the lavatube a bit with it - am I right in thinking I should get the higher resistance Boge carts with the LT to get the best result?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 07-07-2012 9:30pm

honestly im still not entirely sure

a 2ohm boge at 4volts is the same wattage as a 3ohm boge at 4.9 volts
so... ideally they should be exactly the same?

the battery will drain faster with the 2ohm as at 4 volts it's 2amps whereas the 3ohm at 4.9 volts is 1.63 amps but iun terms of vape quality... i honestly dont know. I suppose they should be exactly the same but.. variables, variables everywhere.

Eoin · 07-07-2012 10:56pm

Screw it - doesn't really matter either way, if the lower res Boges are more consistent I'll be a happy camper.

newmark · 08-07-2012 9:37am

I usually use the SR boges and find they work very well around 3.9 to 4.2volts depending on what juice I'm using. If you wanted to use them with the ego battery as well you be better to get the lower resistance ones.

Eoin · 09-07-2012 1:02pm

Jtank and 10 carts arrived today just in time for holidays so I'll see how I get on.

Tank doesn't look too different from the dct (and seems expensive for what you get) but if it works well and i get a better success rate from the boges, I can live with that!

eeloe · 09-07-2012 3:15pm

When you fill the j-tank for a couple of minutes after filling it, be becomes ROCK solid, as in you could catch the PV by the tank, and shake it and throw it around the place, and the tank WILL NOT come off the carto, you'll have to put in a nice bit of force to remove it, that's the difference!

no leaks, no fuss..

Eoin · 20-07-2012 12:31am

OK, so the JTank is working pretty well. As you said, it's very secure. I still think it's pricey for what you get; but most my money has been pissed away on consumables that are crap quality.

And on that note, the Boge carts definitely seem to be better quality than the awful Smoktech flanged DCCs. I think I've gotten 2 duds out of 6 or 7, which is a better success rate. Their cheaper price is a bonus too. They do seem pretty noisy though, which is a bit of a pain for my stealth vaping at my desk in work, but if that's the worst thing about them, I'm pretty happy.

The thingy I linked to above is working perfectly for punching the carts so far.

Just have one complaint with these, taste wise, vape seems to go muted a little faster than with the other cartos imo, getting 2 days of fresh vape from these and then on the third it starts to get muted and dull, usually that's when I bin them, price, performance and general reliability makes up for this though imo.

AHA!

This has nothing to do with the cartos, my favourite juice appears to be the problem, I experienced no such issues using the blathnaid juice which I suspect has around the same PG/VG content, though halo don't indicate exact ratios. When I was using the Blaithnaid the carto stayed soaked throughout.

I also suspect this could be what caused a lot of problems with other devices I experienced issues with.

The Halo Malibu liquid isn't seeping in through the punched holes properly, despite there being four of them at varying intervals from top to bottom!

I suspect it could be due to the high sugar content but this is really annoying, might have to consider a different device, try punching mammoth holes (most often big punched holes warps the shape) or using the cartos as normal without the tank, changing juice is not an option.

So anyway, be warned Halo Malibu in tanks is not great.

grindle · 09-08-2012 2:22pm

You'd have a better feed of thick juices if you slotted with a dremel or junior hacksaw.

My problem with sugary juices is the battery end of the carto gets a burnt-on black ring of juice (and the bottom of the foam gets gummed-up), and once that happens, juice tastes like it's being filtered through sugar syrup (because it is).

Hate that.

I yearn for a contact-less, cleanable (Teflon?) atty/carto.

DirtyBollox · 10-08-2012 9:47am

so i got a dual coil LR echomizer for an ego yesterday. it arrived with no condoms on either end, fair enough, but i am wondering how do i fill it? It has the hole at the battery end and when i take the tip off i can see the insides. will i have to drip fill it down the sides? cause thats effort!!!!! :P

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-08-2012 9:49am

yeah with the bigger ones you can't do the condom fill, they're too big and awkwardly shaped for that

you do have to drip slowly into the filler on top, trying not to get any juice down the airhole in the middle

wont breask it if you do, it'll just run straight through and out the battery end and if any gets stuck in there itll take a while to dislodge as you vape and it'll affect the air draw

Samba · 10-08-2012 12:44pm

So punched yet another hole but made it twice the size, then the carto wouldn't fit naturally, but turned it 45 degrees and made another of equal size and that straightened everything out.

My carto looks like it's diseased or plagued by acne, but hey, juice is flowing freely into the carto, result

Eoin · 22-09-2012 8:37pm

Just a quick update - I'm still using the JTank and the Boge XXL carts.

I've found that if I drip some liquid in a new cart and then leave it for at least an hour before use, I'm getting a much better success rate. I've a feeling that the Boge cartos don't like being used dry at all - moreso than other types.
