| I recently purchased both brands in 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 ohms. Right away, I noticed a HUGE difference in flavor and the way the cart absorbed the liquid. In my case, the Smok Tech cartos are hands down the better brand for me. Much more flavor and better performance all around. It seems the Boge's didn't give me nearly enough flavor, almost to the point of no taste at all, or an odd background taste, and the liquid tended to "bead up" on the top of the filler material. The Smok Tech carts also can take a beating at higher voltages.
Anyone else?

Anyone else? | Same thing. The Boges either impart a funny taste, or just don't pass the taste of the juice properly. I have ~75 of them. Want some?
However, they ARE easy to fill, esp in a car (where I am 75% of the time) and they put out a ton of vapor, and last a week or longer.

| Agreed, SmokTech cartos have been beddy beddy gud to meh.
That's the only cartos I buy anymore. Man, I tried some of those Kangers a couple of weeks ago and they were horrible, they imparted an awful taste to my juice, it was so bad I threw the first one in the trash and gave the rest away.

| Wow will have to try smoketek's carto's next. I honestly havent been happy with the way Boge filler has behaving lately. If you guys say there is that much difference in taste I will have to give it a go. Too bad I just got my 15 pack of Boge's in. |

| I really wish cartos were labeled a tad better! I am using one now that I purchased from smoke teck. It is the best one I've ever had. I think it's a rejuvenator, stimulator, or undertaker, or something like that. It's plain and black. It looks just like the others that I have in plain white boxes. |

If it has a name like that Rose, it's a 1.7 ohm Single Coil SmokTech Carto

| Anybody else try these ST XXL cartos?
Trying one now and it makes my juice taste like rubber.
Getting this real funky taste....do I just gotta break it in or what? |

| Berger,is it possiible to set up a sticky with health cabins pic of cartos available.
When someone asks if you have any experience with a carto it's hard to figure out if you're talking about the same thing with so many cartos out there.
Shek,I haven't had any rubbery taste on any of my Smoktech cartos.

Shek,I haven't had any rubbery taste on any of my Smoktech cartos. | It's similar to the "Honker" in diameter, but smaller. Holds 2.5 mils of juice, is about 2" long and comes with a very flat rubber mouthpiece.
At first, I figured it was the mouthpiece causing the "off" taste, but that wasn't the case.....it's just the carto.
I also can't tell the difference, performance wise, between a dual coil and a Boge single coil. Vapor seems to be the same, however, the ST carto does get warm when chain vaping.
But for the price, I still think Boge is much better. So maybe there's people out there sellin' OLD or crap Boge cartos, cuz I'm reading a lot of complaints about them in here..?? Granted, flavor does diminish in higher voltages when using an LR, but if you vape at a low voltage using a Boge LR, you're gonna get really good flavor! Same goes for an SR at higher voltages.
Guess ya gotta choose your ohms a little better when using Boge's over ST's...hm? |

My single coil Boge 808D's are definitely better by all accounts.
Guess that I shouldn't be complaining though, got them for free. But knowing what I know now, I wouldn't buy these! |
