Boge issues

[hissie]

I bought quite a few LR boges from HC a while ago. Haven't had much problem till now.

I have tried 6 in the last couple of days & even tho' my Lavatube is showing them as 2.1 - 2.2 ohm. However, I am experiencing the burnt taste as if I have the voltage on the Lavatube too high. I usually vape at 4.7, however, even if I drop it to 3.7, I am still getting a burnt taste.

Haven't done anything different when preparing the cartos, so I don't understand why this is happening?

If anyone could shed some light it would be much appreciated.

Hard to say. You're experienced with cartos and know all the filling stuff, so maybe there is something in them which won't take higher power (some design issue/problem). Can you START them at 3.7 without burning?

It may seem that for some reason the filling isn't getting wet enough, so drying out even at 3.7v.

Have tried a new one and punched 2 holes in it & it appears to have made a difference.

As you say djs..there could well be a design fault. A couple of the LR boges were closer to SR boges ohms.

At least they are cheap enough, so few odd ones isn't too bad I suppose.

Will report back & let people know if the 2 holes work better than 1.

I always punched 2 holes in mine hissie (when using in a tank) and most worked well. The top will dry out in a tank, but that doesn't matter because the holes are keeping it wet near the coil, which is all that matters

I very rarely have a problem. Just seemed that the boges I had tried out just didn't soak up the juice as expected, so were drying out.

From now on I think I will punch 2 holes in & see what happens. The one I'm currently using is certainly working better with 2 holes.

I always punch 2 holes in any of my carto's Hissie . . . especially using VG heavy juices as you also do, wicking is considerably better.

I never have..or maybe the odd time as I have found one hole has been sufficient. However, I'm going to do it in future.

Thanks all.
