A day and a half is all it lasted Noticed it wasn't firing all that well this morning and the resistance was up, used it most of the day on a higher voltage then pop... gah inhaled atomiser smoke and resistance reads 9.9 lol Still a day and a half roughly... not great, fired up a storm for the first day though Just as well I ordered some DC cartos that should have arrived today and I have my Nova, a million Clearos/ cartos as spares.

Cartos can be a bit like that,although normally you would get more time than that out of one. Hate to tell you but DCCs can be a bit hit and miss too

I think most vaping gear can, but so far I've been lucky. In two months I've only had two cartos die

This will be heresy and nothing to do with burning out coils but I've never enjoyed a Boge ... I always get the Kanger bottom coil LR's when I feel like using a short carto or the SmokTech dual coil XL's

Just had my dual coil cartos and clearos arrive today The cartos are lovely, great vapour nice TH and so nice to have a clean vape again not tainted by old flavours. Hopefully these will last longer than the last one, should do, some of my cartos (I don't use much admittedly) are two months old and still fire. And I don't generally do high voltage, 3-3.5v normally depending on the mood I'm in and juice I'm vaping. They do get a LOT of use though...

I'll make sure I replace them every month I think and keep the older ones for emergency spares to avoid them slowly dying to nothing or popping again. Might as well for the price and CBA to clean them.
My Clearos and Nova get cleaned every flavour change, but the Nova is probably due a change of head soon.

Are these the dual coil VE xl ones you ordered ? Glad you like them. Did you get a clear one? Ugly buggers - use with caution :-)
Be interested to know how long they last you. I think I used to get about a week of continual usage but the amount of devices I have now means they aren't always in use

I got the VE stainless ones, look quite sexy sat on the top of my Lavatube with a stainless drip tip as well It's made me realise my Nova desperately needs a clean though, getting good vapour though that is like trying to suck through a cocktail stick If a clean doesn't work I'll pop a new 2.4 head in because I can't be dealing with rebuilding.

That's actually perfect for what I was thinking about! My LT is about 8" with a Nova on it or about 9" with XL carto and driptip which is getting a bit long to carry around in my pocket at work so I was thinking of something more stealthy for work and out and about. One of those might have to be on the list come Febs payday. Thanks.

yeah - not sure it will stand up to a big shock - its 2 plastic moulds glued together. You need to be sure the carto isn't leaking else cleaning the 510 connector is a pain but it's pretty cool and fits in the palm easily. Not a bad button either. Cheap if you have the chargers and batteries already.
I use it if I'm out and about or off to the pub
This is the one I nearly got an expanded clear dual coil carto stuck in

I'd have to order batteries for it and a charger because I've got the LT batts and charger but that is quite a stealthy bit of kit. Like it!
