Carto Help

[Acidspring13]

ok so I bought a glass tank carto system and it came with 10 prepunched cartos I cant stand the way it vapes Im sure its the carto insert. Very low vape and i found that my clearos and vivanova preform better but i see a bunch of you guys loving the carto tank system. Is there something im missing? would buying Boge that i punch myself delver the vape experience i want?


Thoughts?

How many holes are in the carto? What is the resistance of the carto? How many volts are you using?

 

[FogHawg]

Are you priming the cartos correctly?

 

[Acidspring13]

ok there are 3 holes in the carto they are at 1.5ohms and I have a VV so I cant have a def answer on that

 

[Acidspring13]

i believe so maybe not i was told to dryburn and then drip a little in it i done that i tryed not priming at all did i do something wrong?

If you are using cartomizers inside a tank, do not dry burn them. Prime the carto properly and insert into the tank. Fill the tank and vape away.

Oh, be sure that the juice level in the tank is well above the holes on the carto. Thus keeping the carto wet.

never dry burn cartos the batting inside will burn and you will never get that taste out of them. I suggest using the condom method of priming your cartos if you are unfamiliar with it pbusardo and grimm green both have vids on youtube about this. I assume since it's a 1.5ohm carto it's a dual coil so you need some power but a lot VV devices will cut the power off do to the amp limit. Myself and this is completely personal preference use only single coil boges even though over the last year or so they have been hit or miss on quality. The amount of holes really depends on the type of juice you are using for my 50/50 I use to holes or if I'm feeling lazy one slot from a dremal.

Don't dry burn a carto. Once you do that it's ruined. You should be sure the filler is saturated w/juice before you do anything else.

I am familiar with the condom method I just properly primed this new carto and getting same results running on a 4.8 volt still same results i have a 50/50 blend low throte hit and low vaper it must be the cartos i guess this is what im using only the 1.8 ohms

Ok, a couple of thoughts... since they are dual coil, you may be maxing out your amp limit on your device. If it is a twist or spinner, it may say 4.8volts but not really getting there. For my tanks I use single coil cartos. The second thought would be to cover up or plug (toothpicks)the holes on you carto. Load in up with juice and see how it works. If is crappy at that point, then you probably have some bad cartos. Again, I would suggest some single coil cartos. Plus if you have a VV device you will get more wattage range with 2.5 to 3.0 ohms.

check that thanks guys i think its just crappy cartos i will be ordering Boge this week and a punch even though my RBY is coming in too this week i will explore this tank more thanks for all your help
