12mg cartos

[TehGoobz]

Usually use 18mg, recently bought 2 5-packs of 12mg (ry4 and 555)
and they taste really bad! (muted) Ive tried refilling them with 18mg juice and its a little better but it seems i have to draw harder which gets juice in my mouth alot and they seem to get burnt after 1-2 refills and i have to toss them.
my 18mg ones i refilled 5-8 times each.
Am i doing something wrong or is that just how 12mg is?
or maybe I got a bad batch. i have 2 left of each and they are all like this so far.

sounds like a bad batch to me mate.....but then if you are getting juice in your mouth it might be that you are overfilling them?

Juice in mouth is rare, it only happens when i end up sucking too hard/fast because I feel like im not getting much vapor.....err flavor.
I only use cartomizers at work cause the x2 and t3 is too big for my shirt pocket lol

Hmmm...I dunno, a slower draw will produce more vapor and flavor.....but still sounds like they are overfilled. Try this: fill a carto as usual, then hold a tissue under the screw on end (battery end) of the carto and blow hard through the inhaling end. If you have juice coming out onto the tissue they are overfilled and the coils can't fire correctly if overfilled. You will get little or even no vapor. I have never had juice come into my mouth from a carto unless I had overfilled it. As far as the prefilled cartos, maybe they are a bad batch or are old (though I don't think they would be the latter). The flavor of either the 12 or 18 mg cartos should be consistant with each other with a slight bit more kick from the higher nicotine content cartos. From there I would at the very least contact SI Customer Service with your concrns to see what they recommend. Good luck!
