I'm a newbie when it comes to e-cigarettes. Not too long ago, I ordered the Volcano e-cig. I liked the size and I liked the idea of just using pre-filled cartomizers...not a techie by any means, just wanted something which was convenient.
The problem I'm having is with Volcano's cartomizers. The starter kit came with a 5ct. package plus I ordered two additional packages. When I received the kit, one of the cartomizer packages was damp, as if something had spilled on it. Fair enough, these things happen. I didn't want to use that particular package so I started on the remaining two packages..
Out of one package, only 4 out of 5 worked. When I tried to use the (non-working) one, it was impossible to draw on, made a gurgling noise (for lack of a better word) and I got a bunch of pretty nasty tasting e-liquid in my mouth. Out of the other package, only 2 worked. With two of the carts, I got the same result as above. The last cartomizer was, as far as I could tell, completely empty of e-liquid. So out of a total of 15 cartomizers, 9 were unusable and/or defective.
I e-mailed Volcano, and to their credit, they were very responsive and fully credited (in the form of points) my account. Recently, I ordered from them again. I received the cartomizers today. Opened one package and the first two were defective (can't draw on them, mouth full of e-liquid etc.).
At this point, I'm pretty frustrated. I just don't see this kind of failure rate as being acceptable and I don't want to use Volcano carts anymore.
So I'm wondering if people with more e-cig knowledge than I have, can help me out.
1. Is there anyway I can fix the cartomizers?
2. Is there another place that sells cartomizers compatible with the volcano battery?
3. Can anyone recommend a simple kit that will work better than the volcano? Ideally, I'm looking for something fairly small and while I wouldn't mind filling up empty cartomizers, I'd love to stay away from a 3 piece set.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
