Recently purchased some Ikenvape 510 Mega-fusion LR punched cartos and also some Smoktech LR cartos. Just received some new juices from Mt. Baker and after filling cartos (both) and using them for a day or two getting burnt taste and filler turning a dark color. I have not had this problem before but my wife has had this happen and I thought it was the juices she was using. Want to get this figured out so I don't ruin anymore cartos if I need to change something. When I fill the cartos I fill until juice starts coming from holes then sit for awhile. When I start using them I vape about 3.3-3.5 on Itaste MVP or Ego twist..

My recent purchase of Ikenvape 510 Megas (the same you have) were awful and I'm dealing with them leaking like crazy. My juice is 2 months old but has been working just fine in all of my other types of cartos...wish I had more advice for you, im sitting over here going through tons of kleenex trying to stop the leaking and spare some of the juice in the tank!
Filled up 2 more cartos last night and these are doing the same thing. Give me something so I don't go through all these Ikenvape cartos that I just received. Filled up another carto with some juice that I've had for awhile to see if it could possibly be from the batch of juice I just received...
i just started using ikenvapes and they've been working flawlessly, skeeps, i think you need to fill them more, i fill mine by leaving the bottom condom on dripping 10 drops at a time in the top and shoving the top condom on to push the juice down, i keep doing that until it puddles on top, then remove the carto from the condoms and blow the excess out the bottom.
asha brown, i believe the issue you're having is you're getting juice in the middle tube (perfectly normal pretty much unavoidable) just blow the excess out the bottom and it absolutely should never leak after that
edit: asha brown, if you're using a carto tank and it keeps leaking, you may have punched too deep and it's flooding the carto, with a carto punch it only takes 4 full turns for a perfect punch, i've never overpunched so i really don't know of any fixes for that

I have used the Boge, Smoktech, and now the Ikenvape. Have not had this problem until now so thats why I am wondering if the juice could cause this. Have always filled my cartos the same and been through many juices from different vendors. And the juices that I have used are not dark..
Conclusion after talking to both Ikenvape and Mt. Baker the juice is my issue.. Was told some juices will carmelize and thats what all the nasty dark juice is. Thought I had figured out alot about this whole vaping thing but I guess that I learned some more...
So, it's the amount of sweetner in the juice, not necessarily the color? I was thinking that when you said your juice was clear.
