Cartomizer Question

[zer0hz]

Since I just started vaping, I noticed that some cartomizers are easily drawn (like through a straw) while others it's like sucking on a milkshake through a straw. Is this normal? I have maybe 3 carts out of 20 that have this "problem."

I prefer the former style (through a straw) better than the other, is there a way that I can change the way the other ones draw?

Thanks,

I have the same issue... haven't found a way to fix it yet and will be interested to see if anyone else has.

The draw is somewhat adjustable by how you line up the slots on the bottom of the cartomizer to the pin holes under the battery threads. Let me know if that helps.

Another thing to check is that the label is not covering the slots and blocking airflow, Leaford has taken care of the issue but I'm sure there are more cartos since before he found out it was happening.

Yeah, what Taryn said. Oh, for some of the carts that paper was covering the slots, just use your finger nail or other small item to push the paper down. This helps a little.

sometimes if the batting is not centered inside cart you can open it up and center it also noticed that when filler is push way down and batting is way above it some new carts I have had that problem with hardly can get any kind of draw.

Based on my experience, more times than not, this problem is caused by the cross-slot on the bottom of the carto. The depth is all over the map and if your battery doesn't also have a cross-slot you're in trouble.

Look into the "staple mod" and see if that fixes the problem.

I aligned the batting on the top with it's hole on the little rubbery o thing, now I'm looking for a way to align the bottom of the batting with the battery hole... I'm going on a quest to find something long, narrow, and metal. The top part fixed it a little so I assume that the bottom will fix it completely. Thanks guys!

edit: well in my attempt I made vapor production zero and then investigated. Killed a carto *facepalm*

Zer0hz, there's a metal tube that extends about 1/3 of the way up from the battery end, so there's no need to center the bottom end of the batting.

*facepalm* should have waited for your response, leaford! I found that out the hard way
