Cartomizer Won't Stay Wet

[Wolf308]

I'm using this: 510 / eGo DCT / Tube Tank

For some reason, the last couple of cartos I've put in this thing won't stay wet. I do everything as I always do, I fill the tank, then make sure the carto is good and topped off, in several ways that were given to me here. But I'll vape for a few minutes and then suddenly get a dry hit. It seems like it isn't pulling juice in from the tank. I've tried changing the voltage on the Twist, I have used two different juices from two different vendors, and I have had this happen on 2 cartos back to back. I keep rewetting the cartos myself, and I'm good for a few minutes, then dry. I'm out of ideas on what could be causing this, and it is getting really annoying. Any ideas?

You could try punching a coupla extra holes in the carto to help it get more
joose. It's just as simple as it sounds, but there are vids on YouTube that
show how to do it. You've got nothing to lose by trying it with one to see if
that helps. If it does, you can purchase a real carto punch and doctor up your
cartos in the future.

Very strange. The link you listed shows that the carto has 3 holes in it, so theoretically it should be good.

How thick is your juice? If it's thick, it might not feed through the small holes and you may need to either make them bigger or slot the carto

If you try taking a few drags/pulls/toots on it, do you see air bubbles coming out of the punch holes? If not, then the holes are not big enough or your juice is too thick, which will amount to the same thing.

I'm using 2-hole prepunched cartos with 50% VG juice, and it works great. With a single hole, I get dry hits (so I end up having to punch a second hole)
