Sometimes when you first fill a carto it will be like it a flooded atty. Try puffing into the threaded end to make sure the air channel is clear. Then let it sit a bit and try again. Sometimes if you can get past those flooded drags it will start making vapor better.

Also - the center air channel may not be clear. Can you see light through the center channel if you angle it in any direction? If there is no way you can see light through it then the drag will be super tight. This video shows how to straighten an air channel.
YouTube - How-to guide to refilling KR808D-1 or Vapor King cartomizers

If you CAN see light through it and still get a hard drag - some combinations of cartos and batteries do not provide correct air flow. Does the carto have depression for air flow cut across the inner circle of the threaded end of the carto? If not or if it is not cut properly then you might not get good air flow. Some other models might have the air flow cut through the battery end. Something has to let air get through to the hole on the threaded end of the carto - does whatever you have look like air would get though?

Lastly, the air flow of a carto can sometimes be improved by gently lifting the inner circle on the threaded end of the carto.

And BTW you probably have auto batteries so be real careful to avoid juice drips on the threaded end of your battery. Auto batteries are dependent on the drag sensor in the end of the battery.
