Cartridge Burn - Please Help

[oso]

Hey everyone,
I just got one of the new automatic Janty eGos. I'm used to smoking the KR8 with the cartomizers.

This is what appears to be happening. After only about 10 or 15 puffs from the prefilled cartridges that Janty supplies in the eGo kit, I'm getting this burnt taste. I opened it up and the cartridge filler is pretty dry. It appears as though the filler is starting to burn.

Mysterious - when I popped on the cartridge it was completely full. Am I doing something wrong?

///

update:

I topped off the cartridge with about 7 drops of liquid. The burnt taste is gone now. Seems like cartridges need to be re-filled/topped-off more frequently than the cartomizers. Any others have a similar experience?

Thanks!

Happy vaping!

I have used cartridges and they don't last very long. You need to keep the Atomizer wet and I might suggest you top off with some bottled nicjuice. 10 to 15 puffs is the most
you can expect from any wetting even with dripping. After awhile you will be able to gage
from taste, as when to add more nic-liquid. When you first get a slight hint of burning taste, top off with about 3 drops of nicjuice on the bridge of the Atomizer. You should
get about 8-12 inhales off of it. Your taste buds should warn you and the attys won't burn up so fast when they are damp.

Right on,
Thanks for the info Bekinder!

Welcome to the world of the 510. Bekinder is right, you have to keep them moist. If you're going to use a cart, refresh it often.

Right on... I started topping it off every 10 or 15 vapes and am getting much better results

The vapor production is incredible on the eGo compared to the KR8. I'm wondering if the vapor production would be just as good if I got an adapter and started using cartomizers.

But I digress...

Thanks for the tip guys!

I know the structure of a cartomizer is different than an atomizer, and the 510 is somehow different than other atomizers--it draws more power, I believe, and so it produces more vapor and hotter vapor. Although there's nothing like a fresh battery for getting the best performance out of an atty.
