I just started with Boge cartos recently. Dripping from the top didn't seem to work (50/50 pg/vg) so I used the condom method (youtube). A little messy for the initial fill but after that you can drip or add to the carto tank like normal. And yes, cartos make it taste better. Drippers even more so. First time I tried my terminator-c RDA my head nearly exploded!

Dropped by It Is Vapor at Redwood City yesterday, and picked up Tropical Punch, and a couple of Smoktech XL cartos. Want to get some input from experienced carto users:
1) I primed it by slowly dripping juice while turning/rotating the carto. Stopped adding juice when a very tiny leak appeared at the bottom. Did I prime it correctly?
2) If I did the priming correctly, then.... whoa are cartos really this superior in flavor delivery?
The vape felt so saturated with flavor it almost feels like I'm actually drinking tropical juice. I've tried short pulls from the mouthpiece without turning on the power just to check that I did not flood my carto, and everything seems to be ok.
Note that prior to this, my experience is limited to Vivi Nova (top coil clearo), Kamry X10 (bottom coil clearo), and a drip atty that I'm not sure who made it.

I did try a carto that had a punched hole on the side - liquid was continuously dripping there - so I just assumed those that are punched are meant to be used with carto tanks. I'm just another newbie trying to understand things 
so experts please correct me if I'm wrong!
Regardless I am thoroughly enjoying this Smoktech XL carto
Which I'm lucky I did get because I broke my vivi nova, and my Kamry X10 is leaking

Something something Variety something?
Loving the Protank II re-wicked using cheesecloth - 40 strands in the coil, then 40 strands on top. No more leaks or dry hits, and the flavor is now on par (at least to my tongue!) with the cartos I've tried (Smoktech XL 1.7 ohm and Boge 3.2 ohm). Now I just need to have my buddy teach my how to recoil properly, coz I keep on burning the rubber grommet

Just got a bunch of different colored CE4 tanks in stock and a couple white, blue or smoked mini vivinova 2.5ml tanks in stock. Also have some 900mah starter kits in stock. PM me for pricing. I have a lot of non nicotine juice for sale as well, can do custom vg/pg mixes and flavor mixing.
