Electronic cigarette technology is evolving at a rapid pace, and every few months we see a crop of new cartomizers with different takes on how delivery of e-liquid to a heating coil should work. Some cartomizers place the heating coil near the top of the device, allowing e-liquid to travel up through a wick. Others place the heating coil at the bottom and feed it with gravity. Still other cartomizers are “bottom feeders,” getting e-liquid from a needle through the hole in the middle of the threading. If you don’t have a lot of money to spend, you could be forgiven for wanting to skip the experimental phase and simply purchase the best cartomizer for the Lavatube.
I strongly suggest using a Boge 510 cartomizer with your Lavatube electronic cigarette. We believe that the Boge 510 is the best cartomizer for the Lavatube for a variety of reasons. The standard Boge Cartomizer is high-resistance, typically measuring in the 2.7-3.0 ohm range — perfect for vaping at 6 volts for maximum flavor and vapor production. We also find that the Boge cartomizer has an exceptional purity of flavor that other cartomizers can’t match. Bottom-feeding cartomizers are reliable but tend to have muted flavor due to the distance between the heating coil and the user’s mouth, while cartomizers that wick e-liquid to a heating coil at the top tend to run so hot that the user constantly experiences a burned taste.
Another benefit of the Boge 510 is that it is a single-coil cartomizer that doesn’t trip the Lavatube’s protection circuitry. We generally recommend against using a dual-coil cartomizer with the Lavatube electronic cigarette; a dual-coil cartomizer contains two heating coils that run in parallel, doubling the surface area of the heating coils that vaporize the e-liquid. This can be a great way to increase the vapor production of a “dumb” electronic cigarette battery that only operates at 3.7 volts. However, the Lavatube electronic cigarette is a “smart” device designed to reduce the voltage and protect the battery when the current exceeds 2.5 amps. If you connect a dual-coil cartomizer and attempt to run the Lavatube electronic cigarette at 6 volts, it will automatically lower the power to 3.7 volts to protect the battery and you’ll see none of the benefit of having a variable-voltage electronic cigarette.
To buy the Boge 510 and experience the best cartomizer for the Lavatube electronic cigarette, click the link and then click E-Cigarettes at the top of the page. This will bring you to the best deal we’ve ever seen on the Boge 510: $21.99 for 15 genuine Boge cartomizers plus a free sample bottle of organic e-liquid. Because Boge cartomizers usually cost around $9-10 per five-pack, buying them for less and getting a free bottle of e-liquid to boot is a truly great deal. When buying, be sure to select either Black Standard or Stainless Standard. The LR version of the Boge 510 cartomizer is low-resistance and not designed for operation at 6 volts.
