Boge LR Cartos ?

[flimflam]

Hi all,
Old returning AAE-C'er here

I swing by every now and again to lurk and check on all this new fangled vaping stuff y'all discuss in these here parts, but haven't posted in ages.

I first popped up here at the back end of 2011, and Chrissie, Perps, Scylla et al pointed me at the right gear to keep me safely off the ciggies.

Said gear consisted of Riva batteries and Boge Cartomisers, they did the job nicely, and I've happily been vaping away on this combination ever since

But now I have a problem, my usual suppliers of Boge LR Cartos seem never to have any stock, and search as I may I cannot seem to find any other reputable and reasonably priced UK stockists

I see there are still quite a few familiar faces around from back in the day (even Blakey and River ), so my question is this, do any of you forum veterans know of any good vendors who still carry Boges?

Fingers crossed,

John

flimflam hello!

I believe our Dave Postmodern Smoking could be your man, or jtc had some up for sale a while back . . . . . or, or Vaping Things still have some LR's in stock:

Overseas, there's Pink Mule:

I just have a stock of standard resistance Boges.

Ah my apologies in that case Dave & John . . . . I'll endeavour to remember for future reference.

I'm not sure whether I threw mine in the end as there wasn't any interest. I'll check at the weekend when I get home though, and report back 👍

Hi Perps and peeps !

Thanks for the replies

Vapingthings has always been my first port of call, but though he still lists them, they've been out of stock for months now. Evape was a decent fallback, but they're not even listing them now.

Thanks for taking a look jtc, it's much appreciated.

Meanwhile I'll keep poking around the interwebz and see if I can dig up a UK supplier before taking a look at overseas ones. If nothing turns up I'll maybe be asking for advice on what 'modern' gubbins might make a good replacement. Boge Cartos were among the first things I tried, and were pretty much an instant hit for me. Compared to the travails that many people go through when they take up vaping, I think I was lucky in finding that the combination of simplicity, tightness of draw, flavour and economy that they provide suited me perfectly.

All the best,

John

Well it's just a suggestion flimflam . . . . but if you ' upgrade ' your Riva to something with a bit more omphage, like an Eleaf iStick ( which aren't too massive ) you'd probably find Dave's SR Boges would do you well enough.

If that combination didn't work for you, then you'll still have a device able to cope with some of the more current tanks about now.

I think that's a good suggestion by Perpetua.Times have changed and there's some excellent kit about for your style of vaping, and cheap to boot 👍😊

[Chrissie]

flimflam I'm fairly certain that I have some Boge cartos kicking around somewhere. Can't remember if they are LR or not, if they are, they are yours for free.

You and Perps may be right, perhaps it's time I considered dragging myself out the stoneage!

That said, I have half a dozen 900mah Rivas sitting here that the tightwad in me would hate seeing go to waste!

Dang Chrissie, that's extremely generous! That would be very much appreciated indeed!

Cheers all,
John

I was in a similar spot to you a couple of years ago, happily using carto tanks and ego batteries.

Since switched to low end VW devices and cheap clone tanks (rebuildable) plus I use Aspire CE5 clearos (with steel jackets) on my old ego batteries, but won't replace them when they inevitably die.

I have had to lay out a bit of cash to get into a later geological era but I don't regret it.

Hi Dom, long time no see.
You calling me a dinosaur??

I did try some Clearos when they first appeared on the scene, no idea what version they were, early models I assume, and they weren't that great. I assume later iterations improved, are CE5's the final version?

While hunting for Boge Cartos I've found a bunch of amazon and ebay sellers offering Clearos, but i've no idea what type or quality they are.

I remember quite a few people here took to Clearos, and there were even people using them as 'rebuildables' if I recall correctly.

Well, that would have been me - the Kanger Evod and T3 heads were eminently rebuildable, the problem was the PC tank bits eventually fail.

Aspire CE5 are indeed a well refined clearo, with vertical coil heads - pics here (though they won't deliver Aspire stuff to UK).

Hi Chrissie,
No problem. It was a generous offer, and as the saying goes, it's the thought that counts!

Cheers,
John
