You may find weather affects your vaping, it does me, just had 3 weeks away hot weather, vaped about half my normal use of juice and did not enjoy it that much, also complete opposite few years ago was in bad freezing conditions for four days, juice got too thick to use (I use high VG), try a few days not vaping much and maybe you'll enjoy it much better on return to normal use.
Then I maybe talking rubbish lol (normal).

You may be onto something mart, but there again..lol.

I very rarely have a problem to be honest and I vape very high VG based juice too. Just seems since I got this new batch of Boges the problems seemed to start. I checked for cracks in the tanks, bought new batteries and using my usual juice.

However, vaping can be a bit of a mystery. It's not the same as buying a packet of ciggies and knowing everytime you smoke one it's going to be guaranteed that you won't have a problem lol.

Put all the goodies in my FT cart only to find because I have add a full size Nautilus that I have to pay via Bitcoin whatever that is. So, bought the copy one instead. Hopefully it's ok.

in future the trick is to buy something else the same price, complete the order, pay with paypal, then before its packed/shipped cancel and accept store credit and then use that to buy the paypal phrohibited item

There was a problem about 3 years ago with boges, I had about 40 in order, whole packets DOA, but of course could not find out until use, at same time I had order from another maker, just 5 to try, also had same problem, I contacted supplier (HC) knowing I was well out of time of reporting (you cannot test 40 on arrival), they were great and gave fair credit and gift on next order (ok crappy case). There was a problem with Boge, sure it can be googled or found here.

It's a new one on me too. I've ordered a few bits form FT over the years and this has never happened. Don't get why a 5ml Nautilus is why I was expected to use bitcoin. Never even heard of that method of payment. I had to buy, what I'm assuming is a copy of the Nautilus.

I reckon the same bad batch of Boges are still being circulated. Obviously it's not the vendors fault, but still a waste of money. Fortunately the vendor I bought them off gave me a full refund. Hopefully the Nautilus is a top notch replacement.

Just an update: my goodies arrived today. So will let you know how I get on.

Not quite

LOL I am and I'll stick in my advice, please remember what works for one is not for another, it's personal, depends on so many things, juice, watts and do I have time.

I'm over 7 years into vaping, Boges work in both 35 & 45 mm tanks for me, suits the old style juice I enjoy, gives me no hassle (new carto every 3-5 days depending on size and if it gone off, some still fail after one hour but thats rare). You unfortunatly also have to try whats suggested here because some things work better for others, I like protank 3's, took 4 on holiday, with loads of heads, they came back in same zippo, no time to fill and sort when my Boges were working.

Out of interest I run 2,8 ohm boges at 9.5 w with 12mg juice suits me. Its all experiments to suit you.

To be honest I loved my set up. Always used a vv/vw mod such as a vamo or zmax. Never really had any issues with it. I use LR Boges in an old school poly tank. I've vaped the same juice from the same seller for years too. However, for some reason nothing seems to performing as it should. It's either the juice or the boges of the mod...or a combination of both I just don't know.

The juice strength I vape is 18mg in a 100% VG base. I tend to find I vape between 8.5w and 9.5w, but I think that might be down to the Boges not being able to take in higher wattage.

ive just found this while looking for a new method myself, its the boges hissie they are rubbish now compared to the past ones from HC many moons ago, the last fifty slots i bought from HC were terrible, ive since bought 2 holed, slots and blanks in the uk and none are a patch on what they were, ive just sent 20 back to a reputable seller as they were unusable.
now following this thread as my needs are similar to yours im even considering an RBA/RDA i did have a bit of a go at coiling a few years back but got the ache with it and tried a protank 2 with various heads but after a week or so went back on the boges but it seems to be the boges are just becoming hassle even finding decent ones.

Yeah ragjoy. I've wasted loads and loads of juice aswell. So, I had to find something new.

I am hoping this new setup is going to work for me.

let me know hissie i need too move onto something else, this is just becoming hassle.
i still have around 40 boges mixed batches and there really not great.
that said, this week ive gone back too the health cabin two holed batch that were awful, ive made them two holes bigger and also punched 2 higher holes and there not too bad "fingers crossed"

I just wondered if the problem you're all experiencing with these is that they are all old, manufactured years ago and as the market moved to coil heads, rebuildables etc. no longer economic to keep producing them, or retailers buying in bulk and then finding an ever reducing market. So you're getting old stock with the chance that the materials have somewhat degraded in storage over time. Just a thought.

You could be right sydsut. There probably ain't much call for boge cartos now, which is a shame because they were simple to use.
