Any problems with Flue Cured in cartos?

[Jorge22]

Hi I asked this a bit differently, perhaps in a less concise/more complicated manner, so I'll rephrase it here: Take the flue cured liquid... Has anybody had any problems with this otherwise great liquid in cartos? I used it in one and after a while it tasted like burnt. So, I used it another and the same after a while. I can't even use up an entire carto! It was 100% PG, not sure if it makes a difference. Now, I made my own Flue Cured (still steeping but I know it's great from a drip tip) and I'm crossing my fingers for it to work well. So, people who use the Flue Cured in cartos, any problems? Everything just fine?

And what happens if you top-off more often than you'd normally do? Are you using low-resistance cartos?

No problems here with either my normal Boges at 3ohms or SMOKtech duallies at 1.5ohms... but I always keep my cartos very wet. -Magnus

Sounds as though you are running your carto's dry. When the flavor/vapor starts to drop or the first hit that has a hint of a burnt taste...stop using it immediately and refill. Hope this helps. I've used from 100%pg to 100%vg in mine without issues. VG just takes longer to wick down.

Thanks for the answers. Well, it happened with regular X Power cartos, pretty much filled still, so I wondered... I do have Boge 510 LR cartos (with an adapter) but there I know I have to pay closer attention. I was speaking of Dekang's Flue Cured, 100% PG at 16 mg. Maybe there's something about it? Anyway, now I've mixed my own, with just the same sort of taste and perhaps less ingredients, with a 50/50 VG-PG mix at 12 mg and I guess, at least from what you're saying, there won't be any particular problemsw just because of it being Flue Cured (that I've been using only as a drip tip, that's why it was new). Thanks again!

Hairball, do you thin your Vg at all? It does not seem to work for me.

It's a must. I always thin my VG with 20%, give or take, distilled water. VG is really thick and then there are people who complain they have occasional lung aches and stuff.
