I have posted video reviews of both the Volt and the Vortex version 2 cartomizers in the video reviews section. In short, the Vortex version 2 cartos rock.

I was pleasantly surprised by this supplier. They carry hardware and e-liquid. The China e-liquid pricing is outstanding. 50ml is only $10.99. 60ml is only $14.69. What I really like is where Madvapes is located...right here in NC. I am going to order some Smok Tech dual-coil cartomizers in a week or so. If I like those, I'll post a review.

Still rockin' my Volt with the Vortex 2 carto. Still no leaks. I do believe I finally found a clearomizer-type carto that actually works well. I may post a review tomorrow about these. The only thing I wish they could fix is the mouthpiece. It doesn't fall off, but I wouldn't try dangling it. The weight of the battery would probably cause the mouthpiece to come off, causing the battery and the carto to fall to the ground. Other than that, I'm still lovin' it.

I tried to edit the last post, but couldn't. I meant to add that the ohm variances in the Volt cartos seem to be a bit much. That may very well be why some were performing poorly.

The Volt cartos are supposed to be rated at 2.5 ohms. However, there will be variations from carto to carto. The batteries haven't been used that much yet, so they still have a way to go. They still hold a charge quite nicely.
I got my Vortex version 2 cartos. In a word, wow! These are rated between 2.4-2.7 ohms and perform beautifully. No leaks at all. The flavor is very clean and comes through nicely. The throat hit is amazing. The vapor production is way better as well. Now my Volt is kicking ***. I'll post a review after I have tried them a few days, but so far I'm very satisfied.

Nice piano playing there, Chris. Keep it up. You'll be playing at Carnegie Hall in no time.

Hawk, here is the link for the 3-ohm Boge cartos.

Here is the link for the 2-ohm Boge cartos.

I hope that helps.

Standard resistance = 2.8 - 3.2 ohms.

As I said in the video, I don't know the actual resistance. However, I believe they are standard resistance, as there was no indication of low or high resistance in the item description. They work fine at 4.2 volts on my passthrough. I was just wondering if anyone else who uses these can tell me if it will indeed hold up to 5 volts or higher. I'm still enjoying these things, even on standard 510 batteries.

Since you're using Joyetech cartos, you need to use a syringe to fill them. However, the condom fill method is better and works just fine for those cartos. You're dripping right onto the vent, which will leak. Just use the condom fill method. Also, use more than 20 drops to ensure the carto does get filled up to prevent having to add more with the syringe. Once you have lowered the carto all the way into the condom, just pull it out, but keep the carto connector over it or over a napkin. I recommend keeping it over the condom to catch the excess e-liquid. You can then pour that e-liquid back into the bottle to prevent wasting it.

I have noticed that some of the cartomizers in the packs I have bought from the VT store and from Liquidxpress (both sell Bogie cartomozers) have what seems to be a shocking pop. I'll be pulling on one such carto when I feel a pop on my tongue. It may not be a shock, but there is a popping sound with that sensation. Does anyone know of this and what to do? Thanks.

To dry burn a 510 atty, simply rinse with water, blow out both ends to get it somewhat dry, screw the atty into a battery, then energize the atty for at least 8 seconds while blowing into it. Repeat the last step about 4 more times. If all goes well, you will see an orange glow each time, and it will get brighter each time. Then, either direct drip or insert a cart. Works like a charm.
