carto problems

[wolf10851]

ok I know we have been having problems lately with some of the carts. and I know that leaford is going to China to talk to the manufacture about the issues we are having. I just received an order today with 3 juices and 2 packs of carts. well BOTH packs of carts have a nice beautiful perfume taste

I figured I would create this thread for leaford to show to China the problems that we are having. please post the flavor and nic lvl and whether it is a cart or bottle and what the problem is.




1 pack of carts cinnamon 11 mg perfume
1 pack of carts lemon Meringue 11mg perfume

I think the Cinnamon didn't taste quite like they're supposed to begin with (which is why they are on sale!). I have Lemon Merangue and thought it was a little perfumey at first, but then it turned into a very nice, mellow lemon flavor. Try vaping it a little longer and see if it mellows for you. It's good! Well, mine turned out that way, hope yours does too.

I have not had any problem with perfuminess, but I did get an order of 5 different flavors yesterday and some of them are pretty dry. English Toffee, 18 mg - one cart lasted less than 1.5 hours before it started tasting burnt. I opened it up and was able to add 26 drops of juice. I then threw on Coconut Cream and it was fine - lasted almost 4 hours. The jury is still out on Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cup but I'll post back if those seem dry as well.

It's a good idea to also post the date the carts were made so they can check the batch. The date is found on the battery end of the cart engraved in the metal very close to the center where the notch is. should see a month and year. May have to use a magnifying glass. My pink lemonade was very perfumey and the date stamp was 11/2009. In fact I didn't taste any lemonade at all...just perfume. Make sure you note to Steve when you order and he will make it right. That's why his username is SMILIN, because he will keep you smilin. LOL

My Toffee kinda taste like pear,very strange,not at all what I expected,But I love the OJ!!!

Leaford should get confirmation from the factory on what that date stamp means. It is quite possibly the date when the metal piece was manufactured, not the date when the cart was filled.

Looks like those numbers are stamped into the metal. I'm pretty sure that much force after the carto is assembled would crush it.

Since it looks like the base is aluminum, I'm betting the whole thing is stamped out of a thick sheet of aluminum and the numbers are imprinted then.

No perfume for me, but I got some Parliament 18mg in my last order that taste like......well, I'm not sure what they taste like. "Chemical" is about as close as I can come to a description, but that's not really it, either. The 2 I tried out of the pack lasted a good long while (didn't really time, but maybe 3 hours?). And talk about sizzling, these things sound like a leaking steam pipe!! Oh, and the date stamp is 09 2009.

And my English Toffee definitely tastes like coconut! Actually like the coconut cream pie, which I love, so I will definitely vape them.

Thank you ! I thought it was just me. I got 2 boxes of english toffee to try (11mg) and I thought they tasted like coconut with a slight touch of fruit (maybe pineapple?). They aren't bad so I wasn't going to say anything but I didn't know if this was their regular taste. If not I might try some more at a later time. I also noticed that all 3 flavors I ordered this time were really dry and aren't lasting very long. I have been dripping some other flavors I have here to get them started and keep them going. The 3 I ordered were the english toffee, cappuccino (luckily I had juice to go with these), and the mislabeled peanut butter cup ( very peanut ) all in 11mg. I was disappointed because there's usually nothing like a nice new cart, but at least I have juice to add so it's not a big deal.

Mine too. I just opened them up and added English Toffee juice. Now they're fabulous!

I got a 5-pack of Pink Lemonade for free in my first order. They are definitely perfumy.
But, I got them for free, so I'm not complaining.

I got a pink lemonade cart put in my order about a month ago. It did taste a little perfumy at first, but then after a couple hits it started tasting really good. That might just be how the flavor is made.

I bought a box of Menthols and Camels. The Menthols were awesome, but my Camels tasted like chemicals/burnt leaves? Steve always takes care of his customers and keeps them SMILIN, so no worries.

I really recommend that you try the cartos more than once before you decide. Flavors that seem strange or off can taste great if you try them at a different time during the day or even a day or two later.

 

[Sheryl]

I agree with Taryn, sometimes I have to leave the tobacco flavors a day or two, then when I go back they are great. I haven't had any that tasted like perfume, but I can only vape the sweeter stuff for short periods at a time. I do get carts that are more dry than others, but generally the guys send liquid to refill so I just use that before attaching the cart the first time. Carto's are not all equal, but when you get a good one it's fantastic.

 

[keyzygirl]

Camels are cig flavored so leaves and chemicals is about right,just kidding!!!

 

[digitalepiphany]

I've gone through 2 Pink Lemonade cartos so far. No change in perfumy taste. It reminds me of a gardenia perfume my mom used to wear when I was a kid.

I'm loving the coffee cartos though. The flavor isn't too overpowering, and it tastes like tootsie rolls to me.
