Like you, I have been on a quest for a replacement for my beloved Boge cartos to use in my carto tanks. I have used Boge cartos since I started
vaping over 1 1/2 years ago. So I've been trying a couple of different cartos in the hopes of finding something decent. I didn't care for Kangers too much. So I got 2 boxes of Smoktech stainless 3.0 cartos.
I was advised to punch only one hole, but it wasn't wicking as well as it should. So, I added an extra hole, and it's vaping beautifully for me. I like to vape a 3 ohm carto around 5.5V, and I set my VW at 10 watts. I diy my juice, and it's around 60pg/40vg, 70pg/30vg. I think I may have found my replacement. So far, 6 of the 10 are working flawlessly with 2 holes punched.
I don't really notice a difference compared to Boge. I'm hoping for a 10 out of 10 success rate. So far, these are performing just as well as my old Boge cartos. Flavor is nice and clean, no leaking at all. I might also mention that when I am vaping, I chain vape, and the wicking is keeping up with me very well. This is the only place I could find them.

I condom fill the carto, and I find that with these, I also need to drip several drops of juice into the carto filler from the top for good priming. Hubby and I have been giving them a workout, and so far, I am sold on them. Let us know if you try them.
