Cart's don't fill? - E-Cigarette Forum

BigBuxNoWhammy · 12-11-2008, 11:38 PM

well I've never come across the problem before, but for the last few weeks I've been on an order of about 8-10 different boxes of carts, and none of them will take liquid. the liquid puddles at the top of the cart and doesn't go in, making it only possible to drop 1 maybe 2 drops onto it. Anyone know what's causing this or maybe a quick solution? lol, going through almost double the carts I normally use cause of it.

I even tried poking a bunch of holes and stuff into the fibers, didnt seem to help!

when I take them out of the box to smoke em they look nicely soaked as normal, then won't refil once I'm done with it.

From who did you buy the carts, and for what e-cig?

hehe I was hoping this part didnt matter. they've been really good to me as a customer and I'd rather not make it look like this is a problem with them. Also I've ordered carts from them tons of times before without problems, using the same cig

I guess if it can't be answered without knowing that info then it's not really a big deal. I'd rather not get into that!

I was just hoping someone with any carts have had similar problems and could maybe shed some light

Are you using new juice ? - if so it may too thick and viscous to sink in - try diluting it if this is the case.

Maybe there's too much filling in the carts and it's too tightly packed to allow the juice to penertrate - take the filling out and snip some of it away with a sissors.

hmmmm, that actually sounds like it may work. It kind of did look to me that these had more fillings than the other one.

And no it's not new liquid, been using it for a while.

I'm gonna try that though, will report back!

You could also try washing and drying your "wool" and repacking, ensuring as above that it's not too tightly-packed in the cart.

I have had similar experiences... cart wool that'll take less and less fluid over time. Sometimes if you just give it a poke with a paperclip it'll absord the pooling at the top. Wool does eventually wear out, too, keep in mind. You can't reuse a cart forever.

Perhaps using a syringe to refill might help ? Please do let us know how you're getting on with this...

Cheers,
