Started using cartos on my Grand and all you read about cartos was to keep them wet the wetter the better. Well I did that and found that the carto gave lousy vapor and flavor. I used condom method to fill and topped off every time I used it. Well what I was doing was continually flooding the carto. When I stopped topping off with every use and squonked like I did with atty the carto worked to perfection. The actual atty is at bottom of carto and with bottom feeding device that's the part that had to be kept wet so I just squonked as usual, no more flooding vapor and taste just great. If anyone has had similar problems with cartos this may help.

That has been my instruction/suggestion for people that are just starting to use a cartomizer.
Put a few drops in the top. Put it on the REO and squonk while drawing not firing. You will hear the gurgle. Stop squonking and draw a little more.
Ready to vape!
When vapor drops give a squonk while drawing. Then you are ready to vape again.
The filling does NOT have to be wet all the way through.
Your cartomizer will not swell up with juice as fast when done this way.
You will get longer life out of your cartomizer.

On the money. the vapor, flavor and longevity are all there doing this. I was applying advice on cartos from vapers NOT using a bottom feeder, not their fault mine for not recognizing the difference in PV's. Once I originally fill I no longer top off on every use, actually just keep bottom half of cart wet.
