Bad cartomizer? Is this to be expected?

[gital]

Ok so it sounds like cartos are fine and I just had some really bad luck. So I feel better about that part now. I would also like to say that the vendor that I have been working with has done everything that a buyer could ever ask for to make this and any other situations right.

With that being said could a forum moderator please close this so it can sink its way down to the dead posts section.

I thought I saw a post a while back that someone disliked Bauway carto's, but not because they burned up anything. They just thought they were horrible. I would get BOGE.

No, I don't think it's common. I've been around here every day reading threads for the last 6½ weeks and have never seen anyone post about that issue.

I just knew no one read my threads

I have had 2 cartomizers - one of he new mega sized cylinder egos and one boge (not - LR)
cartomizers burn out 3 batteries in the last 3 weeks - see:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ating-killing-egos-what-am-i-doing-wrong.html

The cartomizers and batteries were bought from 3 different vendors - but all three vendors have been mentioned in this thread as being good vendors you should buy from and this type thing wouldn't happen

As I have extremely bad arthritis - packing and mailing back are beyond me so even though the places I bought from offer warranties I can't send things back to take advantage of them

There are too many threads here to read them all. I'm usually reading in the Newbies Section most of the time.

One thing I do every time I screw on a different cartomizer: wipe the threads of the battery and the cartomizer with q-tips and kleenex to remove any liquid or moisture and black crud that builds up. I don't know if wetness can cause the shorting out problem or not, but I think it's a good idea to periodically clean the threads. Also, about once each day, I'll use some rubbing alcohol on a kleenex to clean the outside of the eGos and the battery threads.
