So, I decided to get my first carto tank a few weeks back, and with the help of Baditude, and a few others, the experience has been a pleasurable one.
One thing that kept bothering me, however, is that my cartos just didn't seem to be wicking well. I could prime them just fine, but the cartos just did NOT pull from the tank like they were supposed to.
I tried just about everything I could think of, and nothing would get them to stay wet.
I was using pre-punched cartos, with 2, 1mm laser drilled holes. Should have been more than enough for my 50/50 Cinnamon Sugar liquid.
Anyway, I felt like those tiny holes just weren't providing enough surface area (or lack thereof) on the carto for liquid to get through. So I decided to order a 5-pack of laser SLOTTED cartos, from surevapes.com
Here is the link:
Boge 510 LR Stainless (Laser Slotted) - (1 box)
They work PERFECTLY. I ordered BOGE, since that was the same brand I using with the holes, and I wanted to compare the difference between SLOTTED and HOLES without anything else that might effect the outcome (such as using different brands).
So, I wanted to make this thread for anyone who is having trouble keeping your cartos to stay wet. If you haven't already, give the laser slotted a try
Let me know how it goes!
Also, for anyone who has converted to laser slotted, let me know here too, I'd love to see if my experience has been similar to anyone elses.
