I’m getting more and more correspondence on the Boge issue. I’ve created a new page under the Knowledge Base section called “BOGEGATE”. As I get pertinent/interesting information, I’ll try to post it there.

Comment: Phil, Just wanted to thank you for all the enthusiastic reviews you have
taken the time to produce. I quit smoking a little over a year ago, and started
vaping. I am an RN, and witness daily the ill effects of tobacco on my patients.
After attempting to quit smoking several times and returning to cigarettes each
time, I was very excited when I found a good ecig. I knew I would never have to
smoke again. I became so enthusiastic, that I started building box mods with
supplies purchased from Madvapes, and giving them to my friends who continued to
smoke. Only one or two of the friends I helped continue to vape, strange. I think
though as my shout from the rooftops enthusiasm wanes I am beginning to realize that
the best example set is my continued abstinence from analog cigs. Currently when
friends, relatives, strangers ask me about vaping I send them to your website. you
do a great job of educating new vapers by keeping it simple, and directing them to
products which work, are affordable, and are true alternatives to analogs. I live
in middle Georgia, and things here are much simpler than other parts of the country.
although to this point electronic cigs have not gained major acceptance, I can see
them popping up here and there, and I think it is just a matter of time. Anyway, I
know you are a busy man, but I just wanted to take the time to thank you personally
for changing lives. I know this started as a hobby for you, but you my friend are
saving lives! Keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Nurzrachit. AKA Andrew Branigan RN. Gray, Ga.

Comment: Phil,
Just felt compelled to give you a shout out to say thanks for all you do for our
community. Because of you I found myself liking different vaping products that I did
not think we’re for me. I watched all your vids on YouTube and found you to be the
honest and funniest person I have virtually met lol. I am glad you are a
spokesperson for our vaping world and hope you keep the videos coming.

Thank you again mate,
From jersey/Philly area (go Yankees),
Nicholas Sciarra

Ps: I find that we have similar taste buds since I purchased juices based on your
vids and chart. Ty for that as well.

Comment: Just wanted to drop a line and thank you for what you contribute to our
little underground culture. You are the only vape reviewer that my lady and I can
watch. We’ve learned a TON from watching your vids. To a techy like me, it’s like
watching episodes of ‘How It Works’ that are catered to my own interests LOL Keep it
rocking Phil!

Phil,

I just had to write you to say your reviews are the most detailed, informative,
intelligent and entertaining I have ever seen in the world of e-cigs. I only became
aware of Taste your Juice about ten days ago and become obsessed by it. By way od
introduction I am a former two pack a day 50 year smoker who gave up smoking and
started vaping on 8-9-2009. I too had a long progression of various devices finally
settling on the Reo bottom feeder using a 306 atomizer. Recently I have been
experimenting with Carlos and have become interested in the Tanks and VV Mods
associated with them. Taste Your Juice and Phil Busardo have given me a wealth on
information and I thank you very much.

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.
