What ohms is the tank and what volts is your PV putting out?

 

[Stoggy24]

Its 2 ohms and my pv is a kgo so 3.7 to 3.9 I think

sent from a far away world

What kind of tank and what type of carto is in it?

 

[Stoggy24]

not sure i had someone send it to me she prepunched the carto im using 80 pg/20vg and the tank is called kiabi or something like that

It sounds like its running too dry. Is there enough juice ?

 

[Stoggy24]

i filled the whole tank up and added 7 drops of liquid in it

 

[Flying W]

flood the carto then blow it out untill you can blow through it freely. If it still does it,you need a new cart. Seven drops is a little on the shy side .

 

[Flying W]

That cart is not saturated

 

[Stoggy24]

k ill try that

 

[mianker]

Do you know if it's a CE2 type or a dual coil ? Can you see any white filler inside the carto?

 

[Flying W]

Was it a new cart when you started ? To me once a cart gets the burn thing going on,its toast.

 

[Stoggy24]

yea it was new and yea filler material in it

 

[Stoggy24]

well i let it saturate for 15 mins im going to chalk it up to a bad carto or atty it also smokes at the connection

Just make sure you always fill your cartos completely up the same as you would when not using them in a tank.Then put them in the tank and fill it up.This will make sure it's completely saturated and won't burn up on you.
