Another day of failed Vaping

[Steve K]

O.k I don't want to sound like I am whining all the time here but New Cartomizer was changed in the Smoketek DCT yesterday by people in the Brick and mortar store i go to.It was getting great vap till about 8:00 pm then the flavor diminished and was getting less vape,Couldn't use anymore. Then went back to store today it was replaced by yet another cartomizer and the same exact thing is happening again at same time,No more flavor and less vape,What is going on here???

 

[NancyR]

What are you using it on, and what type of juice?

 

[klynnn]

There have been issues lately with lots of carto- boge and smoketeck. Could be your vendor has a bunch of old bad ones. Some had problems with them tasting like bacon.

 

[Hulamoon]

From what you said, it sounds more like you're vaping heavily and the carto is drying out and needs juice replenishing. Don't let it dry out. Really need more info before we can give you a better idea.

As klynnn said there have been issues with cartos. I bought a carto tank, and I've been having issues, so I mostly use my Vivi Nova tanks instead. In fact I just ordered a new one and a Mini VN, and a Splitfire (since its been getting great reviews.) Wish I could help you out more, but I haven't used them much since I moved away from my 808 system.

 

[desmondevers]

Have you tried to take periodic dry hits(drawing in without firing). That can help moisten the wick more and make your vape consistant.

are you talking vaporphoxxe.com? if not i would like to know of another store in phila. area! you are at the right spot here e.c.f.,just need more info.

Just using an ego twist and vg juice.They just have replacement cartomizers in store but don't know the brand.

 

[Lex0r]

VG could be your problem, as it typically doesn't work well in cartos. Are you using a syringe to fill the carto, and making sure that it stays saturated?

 

[Steve K]

As of now I am not able to vape for a few days as anything I have is non workable.Going to be interesting few days.didn't see this coming.

 

[ninjuh]

Store I go to doesn't want me to use Pg.

Yeah pg bad.. wait.. what?

 

[XfooYen]

100% VG in a carto is just too thick. In a DCT, the tiny punch in the side of the carto is just too small for the liquid to get in. Even with 2-3 holes it can have problems. If you must have VG only (or a high VG ratio) you can dilute the juice with a little distilled water to get the viscosity down. Vodka can also be used but I think distilled water works better.

 

[Steve K]

I just installed a another carto in the tank filled it and lost count,Filled the actual tank as well.Im getting alot of air and little vapor,Dont hear any sizzle??

 

[JoeBlowVapo]

yep. i was using 100 vg and had similar problems. i am now using a 80/20 pg/vg and those problems have gone away. if you cant use pg then i would definitely try diluting a bit

good luck!!

 

[Steve K]

Thanks Xfooyen and joe.I will try this tommorrow.

 

[gavind4]

you have cart. in tank? i dont think all your carts are dead. can you take cart out of tank-off your batt. also? blow it out on towel. try it on your batt. without the tank. if this works, you can carefully drip juice into the carto. just dont get any in the ctr. hole. oh!! give me your phone# on p.m. i can call.

talked on phone-its all good.

 

[MayLovesMetal]

What store are you going to? I'm in Philly and the only place I know of is vaporphoxxie in Hatboro which is too far.

 

[Hulamoon]

Hey Steve, I use an ego twist and 100% VG wherever I can because of PG sensitivity issues. Dump the cartos and buy a few Kanger T2 clearomizers. 2.2 - 2.4 ohms. Give those a try. Personally I find cartos too fiddly. All I want to do is "fill 'n go" - but each to their own of course.

Just using an ego twist and vg juice.They just have replacement cartomizers in store but don't know the brand.

Just FYI; these are called 'primer puffs'. Dry hits are the truly disgusting, burning, choking puffs you get when there is no juice on the coil.

Just sayin...

 

[madjay]

try using vivi nova and later on with experience go back to carto. also very importent-always keep backup/spare of everything
