How To Fill Tanks- A Video Tutorial

[Whistles]

Snow - You may have addressed this somewhere already...

Can we clean the carto's like normal.... or is there a different method for cleaning them out?

 

[SnowDragon]

Clean them like normal.......

Thank You Snow

Snow, thank you for posting this with your sticky...it's really nice to have your videos collected in one place for easy reference. I know I can't do without them.

I wanted to report that I've successfully refilled my tank several times now. I'm refilling it about once a day and have had very little leakage upon refilling. It doesn't leak at all as I'm using it. I'm afraid to change flavors in it, but my new tank I ordered over the weekend should be here any day now. Thanks again for all your help Snowdragon!

 

[TheScootness]

Me too Jingles. I cleaned it once and changed flavors after the initial incident but it's been great since then. Little to no leakage at all. My only issue is that is absolutely kills batteries! lol I really need to order another manual stealth for this thing. I can use it for about 1.5 hours and then it has to charge for about that long because I only ordered one.

Oh, wow! I leave the forum for a couple of days...errr...months and all sorts of new stuff arrives Wonderful job, SnowDragon, all of your videos are awesome Now, what's the deal on these tanks, hmmm?? I feel like I've been on the dark side of the moon

So, just when I thought I was getting the hang of using and refilling tanks, my 1st tank stopped working yesterday. After I did my daily refilling, I put it on the battery and nothing-no vapor. I got it to work a couple of brief times yesterday, but not at all today. I tried the paperclip up and down the airhole, but that didn't fix it. I'm thinking the cartomizer is broke? Is there a lifespan to these things? How long should I expect one to last? I think I had been using it about ten days. Luckily, my 2nd tank arrived yesterday and I filled it with no issues, and it's working fine I'm hoping the replacement cartos arrive at V4L soon! Is there something else I should try to get my 1st tank to work again or is it just dead?

 

[SnowDragon]

Hey Jingles...glad to hear we can chalk up another person in the "I filled my tank and it works" category.

Which size tank do you have, which batts were you using, and what kind of juice?

 

[Jingles]

I have the 3.5 ml. tank and am using the King Diamond Manual regular and XL batteries. The non-working tank had Beach Bum USA juice in it. It does seem like a thicker juice.

Beach Bum isn't that harsh on Atomizers so I don't think the juice is an issue. The newer Dual Vertical Coil Cartomizers have only been around for about 2 weeks so the jury is still out on their longevity. Generally speaking with the 510 Dual Coils they last 2 weeks or so (depending on your vaping habit) using 5 mls a day or about 90 mls of use. The vapor production starts to notably drop decrease accompanied with the gurgling of juice.

However, like standard cartos you can generally get another week or so use if you clean the cartos. What causes the drop off in performance is the build up on the coils of the atomizer. Unlike standard cartos, I only give DCT cartomizers 1 cleaning then toss them. If you can get 120 mls+ through a cartomizer.......you got your money's worth.

If you got 10 days of use out of it....toss it. If it was 1 day I would have some suggestions for you.

 

[Jingles]

Thanks SnowDragon. Sorry it took me all day to respond-busy day! I've given up on it. I did take the carto out of the tank and put it on a battery by itself and got nothing out of it, so I think that confirms it's a dead carto? I'l just keep waiting patiently for V4L to get repalcement cartos and use my good tank.

 

[SnowDragon]

Good news is.....I don't think you will have to wait long. I have been using a 3.5ml tank exclusively for the last 10 days and my Carto died today after pushing 80 mls through it.

 

[Ethereal]

Some more good info. So I can take it that tanks don't last so long. Kind of expensive in that case if you need to buy in bulk as you do with packs of cartos. As it goes i'm still using cartos I bought months ago, usually I can get one carto to last 3 weeks after washing and refilling. When they taste bad I toss them. I will reserve judgement and look forward to trying the tanks

 

[Morandir835]

Ethereal sir (glad to see you back) the tanks last, it's the cartos inside that die.

 

[Ethereal]

Hello buddy, long time no speaky. I've read that single coils will be available on Monday, is V4L going to supply the dual coil replacement cartos? I don't even see single coils advertised with the tanks on the website.

Cheers Morandir

 

[Morandir835]

Would be surprised if they didn't Ethereal sir. Would expect duals in at least the 2.0 ohm variety.
