Just wondering ... is it just as possible to toast a battery with the VK as with any other if you overfill a cartridge? And no, this hasn't happened to me ... yet ... but, as the battery isn't an enclosed one like the manuals, I wondered about it. I haven't read of anyone having this issue and I thought that kind of odd (in a good way).
Sort of:
You refill a cartomizer in several different ways, but none of them include leaving the cartomizer on the battery (or god at least i hope not!).
I do it the old fashioned way, by pulling mouth piece, I put in the little buttplug and condom on the bottom (battery) and drip the batting till i see it get moist and *STOP!*.
then i watch. if it soaks down in i drip another drip and look..stays moist? stop youre done. then i remove cap/buttplug and sit it battery end down on a piece of paper to be sure there's no overage...or if im in a hurry i blow in the BATTERY end (not the mouth end you can completely empty a cart that way lol) and any spray that goes out is surplus..then reassemble and use.
as long as you blow in the battery end with the little rubber inner seal and white mouth piece removed you cant possibly flood the atomizer unless youre vapin water..probably not then. but if you saturate a cart to the point that its weeping out the battery end and install it...yeah i suppose you could...the cartomizer is designed to prevent this, but just like a "pull the rope to inflate" life-raft...it can be messed up.
Also is this just the VK works - when I take a drag, for a few seconds it is 'normal' and then it kind of ... hiccups or something and I have to take just a tiny bit harder of a draw to get it to kick in again. It will do this every couple of seconds or so. Both the
batteries and the passthru do this. It's not annoying or anything - just find it different.
There's "vapin low and slow" and then there's scraping the bowels of hell lookin for that last split second to prove you can hit the 8 sec cutoff..haha Been there done that.
If youre right on the edge of activation it'll do this...its a safety feature it thinks it might have stuck on cause the air flow is so low...but you gotta go slow to get a monster James Bond Smoke-screen vape...
What you mention happens to me often, but when it does it's usually cause im showin off how I can hit the end of the battery in one drag.
So, you can start slow and gradually increase your draw, or you can vary it just enough to keep it from hiccuping. but if you go super low and super rock steady, it can occasionally trip the safety feature..although it shouldnt do it all the time, just once in a while when you least expect it, like a good safety device should LOL...j/k
seriously mine does that, but not enough to make me angry..just enough to remind me to breathe
