Cartomizer problem on sb

[Probbins]

So I'm having a problem threading cartomizers onto my sb. I have two joye cargos and they just don't want to go,and obviously I don't want to force them. My attys go on fine,,so i'm just curious if anyone else has run into this.

Sometimes the threads are a little screwy on cartos and atty's I've had a similar issue on my BB. I'm pretty sure that chad uses the same adapter on the BB and SB. My advice, don't force it its a flawed carto, just use another one.

There can be many factors that effect this. There are many manufactures of cartos/atties. My threads are OEM threads. If either one threads or atties are off by a slight bit it can cause this issue. If my threads are .0005in too tight and the carto is .0005in too big = .001in = tight fit. A human hair(most) is .001in in diameter. It does not take much

thanks for that i just had some similar issues with my SB and was wondering about that seeing as my omega has no issues with this

Ok I'll try get some different cargos..anybody recommend some,I was thinking some of the cr2's maybe.

Altsmoke has them as well, if you continue to have the issues with the cartos stop by Altsmoke and submitt a ticket. I can get you fixed up

I've found that some of the Joye 510 cartos have iffy threads, and I've had issues screwing them in on my eGo as well as my Omega. I chalk it up to the fact that they're a relatively new model. Even with the issues, right now I think they're the best performing carto available.

I have an old 510 battery that I screw new cartos onto before using them on my SB or BB. I am sure not all of the cartos need it but, all of them screw in just fine on the SB or BB after screwing it on the 510 battery first.

I always test fit a carto before filling it to save the aggravation (and the juice).

The Joye 510 cartos are the only Joye products that I've had thread problems with (although a very small number). I think out of 40 I've had a problem with about 3 of them. One wouldn't screw in. I think it was the wrong thread. 2 other ones didn't have the air holes drilled out... The indentation was there but they weren't drilled. I have a drill that size so I took care of it. Guess I got lucky and didn't drill through the center electrode.

I've experienced the same thing. I had a five pack of the genuine Joye 510 cartos and out of that pack two would not screw onto either my SB or 180mAh 510 battery. Never had a lick of trouble with my Xpress 510 cartos, though.

Well from the sounds of it, it's a good thing we don't sell Joye Cartomizers But on the issue at hand, some people have been experiencing this issue and it's easy to resolve. You simply have to work the atomizer in to the threading, if you don't feel comfortable doing this then open a support ticket and we can resolve you this way

Seems like we had this issue about a year ago

This brings up an interesting thought. One of the main reasons I purchased my Omega is that it's virtually indestructible. With that said, it seems to me that one possible point of failure is the atomizer/battery connector (obviously through no fault of AltSmoke). The relative frequency by which the threads are normally used, coupled with varying quality in the mating threads on atties and cartos, will wear the connector over time.

How easy is it to replace that sucker if the need should ever arise? Is it press fit with epoxy?

 

[oldsoldier]

I'm willing to bet that if that repair would become necessary Chad would take care of you. Though I'm new to vaping I've heard nothing but praise for how well Chad and Rob support their products, hell I gave Rob some praise myself not too long ago over a replacement issue that was in no way his fault.

I suppose if one had an arbor press they could replace the connector easily. It is not in with epoxy, that's not how I roll It uses .002-.001in press fiit, more than enough. If you tried pulling it out you would strip the threads for sure.

Chad offered to repair my SB that I bought 2nd hand, for only the cost of shipping. These guys are a class act. I actually ended up replacing the connector myself though. It was easy enough for me, but I also work as a toolmaker for a living.

Perfect! Thanks, Chad. I'm sure you and Rob would take care of me if possible. I'm more thinking of the possibility of a vapocalypse in the future, and that you'd both have to move on to different endeavors.

So I got some different cartos and they screw on fine...lol problem solved.
