I would say I began using Boge cartos two years ago if not longer. Since then, my experience with them has always been stellar. I’ve NEVER received a bad one. They have always been consistent, providing me with a terrific vape experience in VTF.
Now I’ve been hearing some grumblings. A lot actually. I’m hearing and reading people are having problems with them. I watched Grimm’s video on the Fusion cartos and even HE appears to be having some recent issues with the Boges.
One very nice person, William W. even sent me his cartos to have a look at after he was disappointed with their performance (all short condoms). I plan on tearing these apart and vaping them side by side with the older “long condom” version.
Since I’ve received my new batch (with the shorter condoms) I’ve had 2 of them fail. Burnt flavor on the first fire on a fully loaded carto. I also noticed some other inconsistencies as well.
People are contacting me on a daily basis now with their issues on them. Although I’m a huge Boge carto fan folks, I have nothing to do with them. Nor do I have any information on what’s going on.
So what’s going on? Has something changed? Why would something change?
Well the last question is an easy one with several potential answers:
1) New production lines to meet demand.
2) Change in materials sources.
3) Cheaper materials/sources to increase profit margins.
4) Cheaper production methods to increase profit margins.
I don’t really know the answer, but I do know that I’ve contacted them in an attempt to find out. Several emails have gone out along with some Skype texts, but no response yet.
Perhaps it was just a bad batch that went out and it will clear itself up… or perhaps something worse… (see the four bullets above).
Am I continuing to use them? Yes.
Let’s see how this plays out.
In the meantime if anyone has any additional or inside information on this that they’d like share and have me post here, please contact me.
