    Default WOW Carts from V4L

    If there is anyone who has bought and used these, and can tell me the trick for successfully filling and using them, I would greatly appreciate it. I have had no luck with them and still have more than a full pack to go, plus some that I have only filled once. I really don't have money to toss like that so I want to try to get some use out of them but it is so frustrating.

    Since they are filler based carto's, they have a very limited amount of refills lasting a week or two.

    What you can try is soaking them in hot water for an hour or more, then blow through both ends to remove excess water. You can also let them dry out but I don't find that it helps much.

    After refilling them, place them in a sock or something and spin them around so the juice penetrates the filler material.

    If you are after long lasting carto's, there are a few non-filler based carto's available that can literally last months without a performance drop if clear juice is used. Do a search for CE2, G4, G5, Vision.
    If you are after a non-disposable carto that will basically last forever (only replacing the wick and wire every few months), have a look at the new GG iAtty. It's a 510 thread but you can use a KR808 to 510 Adapter.

    What problems are you havng with them? They are fairly low resistance so they burn more easily and run hotter than the higher resistance Coolcarts. Certainly don't use Wows on the 5V passthrus. I like the WOWs on normal batteries because the vape is warm and flavorful, but they must be kept wet and will clog with thick, sweet, or darker eliquids.

    Maybe that's the problem I am having with them. I think my juices tend to be thicker, sweeter and darker. They don't vape well at all. The start off with an extremely strong TH, but almost no vapor then the go very quickly to almost nothing of either. When I try to refill them, they're completely worthless.

    If you ask in the V4L forum Im sure that people who use them regularly can help you figure it out.I use the wows at 3.7 and they are fine.I mostly use the Coolcarts at 5v though.
    Its nice to be important,but its more important to be nice.

    After filling one, gently blow through it to remove any extra juice that has seeped into the airhole. Hold a paper towel over the other end. Once you removed the excess juice, you shouldn't have any problems. I've used them quite a bit without any issues. I fill by holding it at a 45 degree angle and drip onto the filler material while rotating it slowly. A new carto will hold 20-25 drops while a used one may only take 15 drops to top it off. Also, after filling a new one, let it sit on the battery end for at least 20 minutes so that your juice works it's way down. Hope this helps.

    Actually I did all of that, and still when I go to vape it, it's terrible. I don't know what the problem is. I think their website actually says to fill it from the threaded end, so that's how I did it. Then I put some drops at the mouth end as well. I let it sit for a while, then blew threw it to get any excess juice out, and wiped it clean with a damp paper towel. I've only used one of their cartos that was decent, and even that one was only good for the initial fill. Thanks anyway Hairball. I just won't buy their cartos anymore I guess. I've had much better luck with Smokeless Image and Elite Vaporworks anyway.

    I have an itty-bitty eyedropper that holds approx. 1 ml. I fill it up out of the bottle, hold the tip of the dropper to the side of the carto and do a quick, forceful squeeze; repeat once, then repeat with half a dropper-full. Much easier to me than drip drip drip. I don't even have to spin when I use this method.

    ETA: What pg/vg ratio are you using? Are you using WOW juice?

    actually you should "pop out" the white piece on the mouthpiece and drip juice (or inject using a syringe) into the batting...the only time you should fill threaded end first is if you're using the condom method.

    Now they are a KR808 thread right? I was going to start a thread of my own to ask this question but would rather not for such a simple thing. Im a 510 everything guy so Illl buy an adapter.
    Like two weeks ago I ordered 2 packs of WOW cartos. I cant explain it but I was under the impresion they were 510. When they showed up I could have swore I heard Fred Sanford say. "Thats no 510 YOU BIG DUMMY!
