Cartridge not vaping?

[camci]

Lately for some reason i've noticed my cart has not been vaping; the only way I can get vapor is direct dripping on the atomizer, which I have no problem with, I would just also like to vape the cart too lol.

I can maybe get 15 puffs before I have to direct drip again.
Should I pull the filler out more? It's right at the edge of the cart. I've tried pulling it out more to hit the bridge in the past, but it all got clogged under the bridge and that was not a tasteful experience.

I'm happy regardless. I'd rather drip every 15 puffs then get lung cancer.

Have you been reusing the same cartridges?

No, its fresh as of two days ago. I vaped all the prejuice out of it however the atty isn't vaping any of the e-juice I put in it.

This has been happening to me too. No matter how much I top off or refill my carts I don't seem to get nearly the amount of vapor or flavor that I do than with direct dripping, so usually I just add 1 drop to the atty and a few to the cart and continue, but sometimes I still just get a burnt taste.

What's recommended for cleaning atty's? I've never tried dry burning but I have washed out one before and that seemed to work pretty well. I can't tell though when it gets clogged and what not, but it has just been annoying me lately that I don't seem to be getting anything from the juice that I put into cartridges.

I haven't had this problem at all myself but have you tried a different e-liquid to see if maybe the one you are trying might just be a bad batch? Also have you pulled the filler out and washed it out to see if that helps. Last thing you could try is to take the filler out and rinse out the cart where the two slots on the side are for the venting of the vapor is to see if it is clogged up with liquid that has gone into them.

I would pull the stuffing out flush with the end, fill the cart.
Insert it into the atty and try to vape. even add a drip.
If it falls off in vapor, remove the cart and see that the imprint of the bridge is in the stuffing. It should be in 1/8-1/4" depending on the model.
If no dent is present in the stuffing, either the cart isnt being inserted all the way or the bridge has moved down in the atty so its not touching the cart filler.
The filler may not be flush anymore. Useage seems to allow the cart stuffing to shrink some.

Hope this helps

I use this. It allows more juice in the cart and I think it helps with the wicking up to the top of the cart. If you're power vaping then no cart mod will keep up with you and you'll have to drip as it takes time for the juice to wick up.

I don't do this one, but others recommend it, so you can chose:

So you've been using the same cart for 2 days? If yes, then you need to pull out the cart filling/polyfill and rinse it clean as someone mentioned. Thoroughly dry it with a paper towel by blotting it. Then refill the cart and vape.

If you want to clean your atty, invest in a ultrasonic jewelery cleaner for like 40 bucks online, just google it and plenty will come up. You could also get a "Blow Off" Air Gun, to try it for around $15 as well, again just google it.
