Cartomizers! HELP!

[DaBrat]

OK what am I doing wrong. I put one of these on my screwdriver (once I finally figured out which PV it would fit on). Pushed the button, heard the sizzle, but nothing came out. WHat am I doing wrong? and yes I took the little stick out. Never used cartomizers before and was curious.

 

[redgirl]

Some of them are duds. Do you have more to try out?

 

[DaBrat]

Yup thanks. The atty is working, juice is kinda leaking though out of the atty end. I WAS supposed to take the little stick out right?

Yes, you take out the rubber plug.

Are you taking a hard drag?
maybe go easier to not get the liquid coming out.

Are they prefilled?

Yep they are prefilled and not dragging too hard... lol was making sure I had it on right. it seems the juice kinda leaks out the batter end. There is something in there and I know the atty is heating.

Maybe I am just destined not to try cartomizers... will try another later but hate to waste it if I am doing something wrong.

 

[dirt2suck]

Not sure how it would be wrong.

What voltage are you using?
I never heard this happening before.

The cartomizers seem to fit the screwdriver which is a 3.7 volt mod. I have a 510 but they don't fit that.

If it is just the one carto that is leaking, I would say that it might have just been overfilled from the factory.
If it is more than one, let us know. Something would not be right.

Sometimes it takes a good six or seven puffs to get them going. More if they were originally a bit overfilled.

It isn't good when they leak - you either end up with liquid in your mouth or in the battery. Both of which are bad!!! The only time I have had an issue is when I have refilled and I have overfilled.

My pre-filled ones are normally good.

I hope they work out for you. I love cartomizers for driving and at other times when it is inconvenient to fiddle.

I forgot to ask... are you getting any air flow through the cartomizer when it is screwed onto the screwdriver?

 

[sandyk]

try blowing thru the cartomizer from the battery end onto a paper towel to get some juice out if it was overfilled at the factory. Then take like 3 puffs to get it going.

Does it need to be refilled?

After all, they only come with about 1mL pre-filled.

I've never heard of this happening, espically rare for them to leek, too.

I'd say just toss it and move on to a new one. Sorry if some of my advice is not too unique, I'm just writing what I would do....

Is the screwdriver cartomizer ready? I know nothing about the screwdriver so I'm just curious.

Yup just a 901 with a bigger battery takes everything the 901 will.

LOL thats what I ma trying to figure out. Never got the first hit of vapor. Maybe leaked out. WOuldn't know how to refill it without a diagram! LOL.. even though I do have an EZ fill tool.

does your adapter have air flow holes like an 808?or is it a 901 adapter?

ROFL yup getting airflow, can even taste the juice... just no vapor...rofl.... driving me nuts!!! will try blowing it out if that doesn;.t work maybe try another tomorrow. Would hate to buy the 808 just to try the cartomizers but then again, I need meetings!!!

I am not using an adapter. The SD is simply a 901 mod so its like putting the cart on a 901. LOL do I need an adapter?

 

[Synthesis]

I know I can't use cartomizers on a 901 battery because there is no extra airflow through the battery. Does the screwdriver have a hole or groove through the atty connection?

We have this info on the Cafe, but I pulled the YouTube link for you...everything you want to know about refilling.

you may need to modify the 901,808s dont work on 901 batts.I dremeled a hole into the threads near the bottom.
