carto question

[dr_al]

i have one carto that draws easy off the batteries but when ever i put it on its almost impossible, i make sure the vent holes are visible. things are clean and clear. its brand new never been refilled i just took it out of the foil package.


is their something i can do to fix it?

And by impossible to you mean you just get a mouthful of air, or you can't get any air thru it at all?

This. I had one where unless I drew hard, I would only get a mouth ful of air and the battery wouldn't activate, it was only on that carto so I was sure it was the carto, but then I cleaned the connector on the battery well and it worked, still dont know why the other cartos worked fine but oh well lol

So depending on exactly the nature of your problem, it might be somethign to try

dr_al--does it just do it on one batter or both(all)?

its only hard to draw on the battery i get flavor and the battery activates but i have to suck so hard it makes me short of breath to get much of anything from it.

its the same on an auto and a manual battery, carto draws easily off a battery and i can look though it and see the coil when i hold it up to a light,

i cleaned all the threads and holes with alcohol rubs, needle or toothpick my other carto's work fine on the batteries.

is this a new battery? do other cartos work on it?

ok, its not a big deal i'm just trying to diagnose, i will use this carto to experiment with, it gets hot it gives vapor just a really hard draw, i may try this punching thing i read about or ill try gutting it and dripping into it

so i completly took the carto apart, it was pretty easy, put it back together again, and i found that twisting the center post allowed me to get a better draw, still not great but hey i learned exactly how it works.

took the coil out and all and put it back together again.
