Hallo ,
I prime my carto and open 2 holes with a carto puncher very carefully , no leaks .But i made something wrong .Don't know what .
After some nice tasty and full of vapor puffs i start getting dry vapor and i start coughing .
I wait but i dont see juice wet the carto inside.I puff again the same dry vapor,not burnt.
I use a trap tank .
Any suggestions?

In simple terms, you're probably not priming your carto adequately and making sure the wicking material is fully saturated. It needs to fill up enough so that a little juice runs out the holes before you put it in the tank.

I'm sorry I can't offer more, but I don't have much to go on. You punch your own holes... what size are they? What juice... is it thick or thin? Those two variables can make a big difference.

Hallo Thank you,
I use 50-50 DIY from Tottaly.
Maybe there is a technique at filling the tank?
If it's a chocolate juice, or something thick and dark, it may not flow all that well.

Technique? Ha ha ha... there are lots of techniques for filling the carto. :)

No special methods for filling a tank... just use a carto tank filling tool.

I just stick a Q-tip shaft (or a toothpick) down the center hole and flood the carto to the top. If you're in a hurry, you can use a carto condom to force the juice into the carto. Me... I just let gravity do it's thing. Only takes a few minutes for the juice to flow out the holes. If you do a search, you'll find several more "methods". :D

If you're punching your own holes, how big are they? At least 1mm?

I swear by the Boge 510 XL Laser Slotted cartos, and the condom method. Even with Boba's Bounty, I never get dry hits and they last a long time, best thing to me, aside from an RBA. Only thing that could choke one quickly is Goodejuice's Patriot, but it's a naturally extracted tobacco juice, so it's hard on anything.

Those, and the Ikenvape 2X3mm hole, "platinum punch" cartos work well with "sludge juice". :)

Actually, the IKVs work well with most any juice... it's in Isaac's proprietary wicking material and coil design - and of course the 3mm holes. ;-)
