any tips on using Boge 510D Soft Cap Empty Cartomizer.
first time with these ive only ever used one cartomizer before.
i filled slowly with a needle tip bottle, i would have measured the juice with a syringe but getting the cap off is a bit of a faf on a regular basis.

Raggy, I always use the condom method on first fill.

I remove the cap (white plastic bung) using a paper clip. I then replace it with a drip tip.

chrissie, i took out the white bung then kept filling around the edge avoiding the tube until it appeared full took about 10 mins after letting it soak right in after every 7 to 10 drips.
replaced the bung then used it, i will try it with a drip tip.


condom method what is that.

You take one of the silicone "cups" that usually protect each end of a new carto, and half or two-thirds fill it with juice, then lower the carto, battery end first, into it and the juice is sucked up.

These cups vary in size so I can't say exactly how far up to fill it.

I haven't done it for a long time as I'm needle-filling DC cartos these days, see-through ones so I can see exactly what I'm doing.

Just be careful if you use a syringe Raggy, that you don't go in too far and damage the coil or anything.

The condom method is the easiest for most liquids, but if you have a particularly thin liquid, you can get away with just filling from the top into the wadding.

If you get 27-30 drops in from a standard 30ml bottle, it's full. Much less and you have dry spots.

I always prefer to overfill them if anything, because it's easier to blow the excess out onto a tissue than it is to fill dry spots.

thanks jason,
i only use PG so im on thin liquid.
i have noticed a fair bit of crackling going on could this be anything to do with me not getting the 901 to 510 adapter balanced properly.
they are also a touch on the airy side, did i read here the you can cut a bit of the sleeve (condom) off and leaving it over the gap left between the carto and the adapter.

The Boges do crackle alot Raggy I can only agree with whats already been said regarding the condom method.I find pushing the carto down into the condom from the top end gives a better fill than doing it from the battery end though with 510s.

[VE Jason]

As Ian says Raggy, the Boge do crackle a fair bit.

If you want one that don't crackle, try the Kangers. They also have a less airy draw.

[ian]

Thats the only thing i dont like about Boge cartos,the airy draw.I still need to try the Kanger bottom coil cartos,will they fit in an Arry carto tank do you think Jason?

thanks ian and everyone else for the quick replies with tips.
i can get on with using them now in the knowledge i wont be doing too much wrong.

[VE Jason]

Not sure Ian.

They do fit in the Big Daddy Vapour Tank, because I have one here.

Blue will probably know, because he has tried the Kangers I think.

I've just put one side by side and end on with a Boge and they seem to be identical, size wise.

[ian]

Great stuff Jason,i will have to get some of these to try.Im falling behind with these cartos so the kangers are next on my hit list.

Does anyone know if I can use my plain old (but working) 510 atomisers on my Riva, and will they work just as well? Thanks
