If you try again and make sure you catch the thread right and straight. Sometimes I have that problem and I just un screw them and put them back on straight and they work. Sometimes they have a burr on them that makes them harder to turn the first time too.
I have only had this issue with 1 or 2 cartomizers in my time.
For example, my DARK CHOCOLATE premium would not budge on my XL or my passthru.
I put a little muscle into it, and eventually it went on.

Iirc, the carto metal is softer than the PT metal.. so brute force is always an option.
Wow brute force IS the answer LOL 
I was just afraid I'm gonna break it if I use too much force but it worked! I have 10 of them that have this issue and so far I've successfully screwed 3 already. The rest of them probably needed more muscle but as I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a delicate little lady, I'll probably just wait for my husband to do it later.
Thanks for all your answers! I can finally vape my Pomegranate as it only gives sufficient vapor through the passthrough

Jowee....good to hear!!
That issue is definitely not common, so hope that's it for you!
Keep it up, and glad to have ya here!
BTW, have you tried the XL manual batteries yet? I find the throat hit/vapor production comparable.

There seems to be an emerging pattern just _very_ recently. It may well be that V4L ended-up with a bad shipment from a bad batch. I've seen more reports of this in the last three days than in the last four months.
*nods* Jowee, were they all one type of carto? Standard? Premium? Hardcap/softcap/flavor? Or a variety of 'em?
@belle Hmmm... it's in fact in a variety of cartomizers. ALL my soft caps Cowboy Menthol premium and 3 out 5 hardcap pomegranate and 2 of my blank hardcap cartomizer. I haven't checked the rest of my supply though. I bought all these within the last month. Let me check the rest of them and get back to you. I really thought it's a common thing.
@bornagainst I was meaning to try the XL batteries. Do they really give out more vapor production and TH?

Jowee, no, since they dont run at as high of a voltage as the passthru.
However, performance wise, they are the next best thing, and 100 percent portable.
Passthru runs at 5 v, and I think I read the XL battery runs at 4.3 (don't quote me).
Either way, the XL manual is a performance beast.

That's good enough for me It's going on my next V4L purchase. Thanks for the tip!

Meh, see, this is what happens when I venture into territory that isn't my forte.
Either way, XL manuals work like dogs.

Ok i'm a bit embarrassed about this but I tried forcing in one of my cowboy menthol carts and not only did it not go all the way through... it wouldn't screw out!!!! Please help!

This has happened to me as well. I just had to really crank on it to get it back off. Funny thing was that after doing this, the carto fit back on just fine.
The cartos are made from a much softer material than the batteries, so you should be ok there. Maybe try a pair of rubber or work gloves to give you some more grip when twisting them apart?
