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

I'm using standard resistance atties on my 510 Riva and they're just fine.

ive had one of these boges on since saturday pm, it has started to taste a bit burnt already even when wet, been using the condom method which works fine.
do i chuck it now and use a new one?.

Definately Raggy.If you get a burnt taste or the draw gets tight then i would bin it and move on.To be perfectly honest i only ever use cartomisers in an Arry carto tank now,i usually get about a week or two of heavy usage before performance drops and i change cartos.Definately bin it if your getting a burnt taste though mate.

thanks ian,
it did get tight as well, i thought the tightness was because i used the new ggtb atty cap as opposed to the adapter.

quite enjoyed it though, its as good a vape experience ive had for some time.
i use a pg gv type tobacco juice and ive been adding 2 drips of grizwalds banoffee cream and it just gives an edge of flavour.
i cant vape heavy flavours but this makes a nice change with just a hint of flavour.

Good stuff Raggy.I only ever use PG mixes with cartomisers also as VG just doesnt work well with the filler at all.I find if im using a cartomiser thats not in a tank then 3-5days is about the norm.Some fair better and last a week or two, but three days is about rite.I used to boil them but i now just bin them when performance drops off as they are cheap enough from china.Im glad you are enjoying them mate.

Thanks Fox

That'll save me buying spare atties.

ok i have now been using these for 2 weeks im getting 2 days from them.
this is fine but is there anything i should be doing ie topping up more often, i generally top as soon as i get a taste change.
im condom filling and assume you just let it overfill them blow out the bit in the tube, a quick squeeze of the condom generally sucks or blows most of it.
i am enjoying them but there probably not going to last as long as id hoped they might, im not disappointed with that though as there very cheap.
also as i get nearer to the end of the 25 cartos i will need to get some more so where and what in the uk are the most competitive and best quality.
also how much is the postage if i were to buy direct from HC.
im also wondering why chrissie recommended getting 510s over 901s when she also knew i was on a 901 device, i just want to know for future reference, is it a given with carto that 510s are better.
i now have both caps for my ggtb so i can use both.
lots of questions i know but the time seems to have arrived where i move on slowly to the next stage as the 901 atty and cart method seems to be a bit dated.

If your askign about fillign up cartomisers Ragjoy? then they do liek to be kept wet. I'm unsure which brand yoru using atm. But they all liek to be wet as a wet thing in a bowl of water lol

I still use clear ones cos I'm still not comfortable with guessign when it needs topping up, and even still I often get the occasional drip come out of the bottom, a quick blow over a tissue and a wipe of the bottom usually fixes that up ready to go again.

The first fill, I generally just drip, take it slow about 4 drops at a time then 4 more when they have soaked in, whole process takes about 2 mins. I keep goign until a drop starts to come out of the end. Then blow out onto a tissue and away I go, add a few drops every now and then or a good soak if I haven't done it for a while.

I think most vendors do a good selection of cartomisers atm, safer cigs has a 25% off going on this weekend. Maybe try a couple of buds?

thanks jem,
i kinda thought maybe i should keep topped up more after reading about tanks and them being pretty much soaked all the time, so thats what i will do now every hour or so.

Raggy,the 510 Boge cartos generally last me between two and three days out of a tank as compared to between a week to two weeks in a cartomiser tank.Using a carto tank really does extend the life of the carto as its being constantly fed via a small 1mm hole which you punch into the cartomiser.Ive got a few Arry carto tanks and have just ordered the lil mamma/big daddy tank set from Toby.Im more than willing to send you one of my carto tanks with a Boge fitted and a few spares if you want mate?Ive got that many tanks now and i cant use them all at the same time :)Ive never got on with any of the 901(KR808D) cartomisers,always found the 510 Boges to be much better.Thing with cartomisers is that fine line between great and crap,in a tank you can add 2-3ml of juice and just vape without fear of getting a burnt taste by not topping up quick enough.Edit to add,if i use cartomisers out of a tank i add three drops of juice after about every six pulls.I do take long drags but with LR cartos the flavour drops quickly and if you dont add those few drops you just end up with a rank tasting carto which is totally useless.

hi ian,
great info but im getting slightly lost between a tank and a carto tank do you have any links where i can get more idea.
to be honest im totally lost, ive been trying to ignore all what goes on in the vaping world as i develop obsessions with hobbies to easily but i would like to move a few grades as my vaping has become a bit boring really.
i dont want to run before i can walk but i also dont want to be buying rubbish.
my setup is ggtb with both 510 and 901 tops.
where should i go to move on slowly, or should i just make a bigger jump.
ive never wanted vaping to be a money pit, the idea was stop smoking and vape in a cost effective way but it can get way out of hand before you know where you are.
im not being critical of those that really get into every new idea i just would like a bit more pleasure from vaping other than getting my nicotine hit.
im probably not coming across very well here but hopefully you see what im saying.

I see exactly where you are coming from Raggy.Carto tanks have got alot better now,the Arry V3 is available from Moju Republic and the Big Daddy/lil mamma tanks from i-vapour.On Tobys site there is a how to video which will give you a better idea on how it all works.I would add links if i could but ive still no clue on how to do that stuff :-[ As i say, i will send you one setup with instructions and you can decide if its for you or not,dont want anything in return just want to help you out as i was exactly the same with cartomisers before i got my tanks.I now no longer have any problems with cartos at all and its all down to using them in a tank.

[Gordy]

simpley put a tank is a plastic tube you put a cartomiser inside... then fill the tube with e-juice and the carto is feed via small hole you punch towards the bottom of the carto with a nail or similar... here's a pic to help

[Gordy]

Ian have you tried using an atty inside a tank yet... there is a video around showing someone using a 306 in a tank

[ragjoy]

thanks ian and gordy.

i would like to try a tank ian and thanks for the offer .
i was miss reading your post where you said.
"Raggy,the 510 Boge cartos generally last me between two and three days out of a tank as compared to between a week to two weeks in a cartomiser tank"

i thought you meant there was 2 types of tank but you meant not using a tank at all in the first instance.
so a tank does not physically do anything its just there to hold liquid.
i may seem a bit dim but generally im not,this is just a bit alien to me much like just starting vaping is for many.
you say make a hole in the carto but there steel, will a nail push/twist through these?.
basically your saying that as the coil area in the carto gets dry it gets gunked up and stops vaporising the juice whereas the tank is just there to keep the carto wet and as a juice store.

im going to have a punt around the net and read up on the carto tanks today.
thanks again for the dummy info very helpful.
