Just got mine in today and so far first carto...dry hitsmaybe next one will be better
You may want to say how long after filling did you start vaping, what PG/VG ratio you are vaping, what wattage/voltage you vaping it at and in general how thick the e-juice is... all of this and more factor into it and if you don't provide that info at least... no one will be able to make a suggestion.
I am using a 60% pg to 40%vg in the 2 that I tried so far both hit like a dream.
Yeah I am totally loving them now... that first one just didn't like me I guess
I picked up four of these this past week. I have not have a very good exp with the two I have opened up so far. Either getting burnt awfulness or gurgling and floods all over the place. I am using them in a smok 5ml tank and a artemis slim locking dct. I've tried them on ego twist batts, my vamo v2, vamo v3, mkb-ts, even my ego mini (350mah) all with the same results.... Burnt with light puffs and drowning in juice w strong pulls. I've been trying to vape bwb caramel cappuccino (50/50 pgvg) and a few juices from roar vapors all 70/30 blends but his juice is thin for a high vg liquid. Not liking these at all
Any advice for trouble shooting and getting a good vape would be apreciated

1) Did you get them from GV, or somewhere else?
2) How much did you prime them with?
3) Did you fill the tanks full, or test fill a small amount?
We have tested the smoktech mesh carto, so have many of our customers here on ecf and we are not seeing ours being reported with the issues some have described, so if you purchased these elsewhere it is best to go to that vendor to deal with issues you might be having since there are many variations in products out there and we strive to carry the newest and latest versions. It would be nice if people posting about this would mention if you purchased it from GotVapes or elsewhere and when. To avoid confusion.. thank you. =)

Yes sir picked them up through gv
Primed with three drops
The 5 ml tank I filled about half way, the smaller tank almost 3/4 the way full.
I popped open a third one this morning to try. I put it into a 5ml tank about half full of dark honey tobacco from aromajuice and primed it with five drops. This one is hitting like a champ. I think I let this one sit a little longer after priming it and before vaping as my little guy had me busy this morning. How long do you guys let them sit after priming them? Think this could have been the problem?

ok, good to know. you should prime it , not just the coil, but the mesh, they need a little time becuase of the mesh for the juice to get in all the nooks and crannies, so try tod o the same with the others and let us know
generally i let any new device sit for 10-15 minutes after priming with a few no-fire drags for good measure.
I think this may have been it right here.
When I primed the first two I dropped right onto the coil and let it sit for a few min then no fire drag then vape. Results not very good.
The one I tried this morning I dripped down the sides and let sit a bit longer before no fire drag then vape. Very good (like I was so pleasantly surprised good) results.
I'm going to clean and dry burn the first two and try again with them tonight. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I think my problem was not getting enough fluid into the mesh as I dripped onto the coil
I would consider giving that a try. What do you recommend to thin it with, water or alcohol? What kind of concentration? For the most part even though that is a somewhat thicker juice it seems to be wicking well unless I seriously chain vape the carto, which I may or may not do upon occasion lol.
People recommend either alcohol or distilled water to thin with... I'd stick with distilled water since the alcohol will evaporate off quickly. The down side to water is that it can sputter sometimes but usually isn't bad if you don't over do it.
Each juice differs in thickness and I've never tried the one you listed... so start with a drop or two in a tank and add to that if needed ( shake after adding ). Pay attention to the thickness before you add and during to get more of an idea of how it is affecting the thickness.
One of the advantages of the Evod, T3, MT3 and Protanks by Kanger is that you can add/remove flavor wicks in the coil so you can adjust for different thickness's of the e-liquids without having to alter the juice themselves. I've been vaping 30/70 PG/VG juices in mine and have yet to have any issue with dry hits. The Vapeonly tank is similar and has more capacity than the Kangers... but I do like how well constructed the Kanger line is, so ATM I've only tried one Vapeonly ( with great results even if I prefer the Kangers slightly )

Ahh didn't think about the alcohol evaporating quickly, that's a good point. I have ro/di water readily avail at home for my aquariums. 99.99% pure water so I think I'll try adding a drop when I get home. We'll give this juice thinning thing a whirl.
And don't forget to try the other suggestions first since thinning will be a good final step to try.
Always take into consideration that most vaporizers ( carto, atty, clearo, or tanks ) are not made with thick juices in mind so we've got to usually take extra steps with them to make them flow better. Also, different e-liquids even at the same PG/VG ratio will have different viscosities ( thickness's ).... so each one may require different tactics to get a good result in a particular vaporizer.
Oh most def hear you man. On my vape only tanks and evods I mess w the wicks to get better vaping results. But with these nickle mesh cartos I think thinning the juice I tried today will be the way to go.
I think most my issues yesterday were from dripping onto the coil not down the sides into the mesh.
It's funny also how most all vaping devices seem to work with thin juices but all the ones I like are thicker aside from the stuff I buy from (removed vendor name)
