carts not lasting as long?

[sweetblackkitten]

i love vaping and V4L...have been a customer of theirs now since jan of 2011...love the customer service, the flavors, and the sales/promotions

im not trying to complain.

but is it just me, or are the cartomizers, both coolcarts and WOWs, not lasting as long as they used to??

Hmm, are you talking about prefilled or the blanks?

 

[sweetblackkitten]

am talking bout the prefilled

Ms. Sweetblackkitten cool or wow carto, and what batteries?

 

[sweetblackkitten]

hello Morandir....much respect to you for all your testing and great posts! nice to have an expert answering =)

right now i am using 2 short auto ashcaps, one to two reg autos (one ash and one diamond), and one xl manual that they sent me for free (ashcap)....and i just got an xl auto diamond...i used to use all manuals, but quit bc i like my hands free...

the shorts are getting old, maybe 6 months to a year...the regs getting close to that age....and the xl's are fairly new...

i generally have 5 going at a time so i can pick up diff flavors....some wows and some cools, about 50/50

the wow waffle and wow cinnamon roll seem to go the fastest. and i do take primer hits.

but w 5 going, to use up a flavor in a day is not what i am used to. even my cool menthols seem to go quick now

to Morandir part II:

perhaps i should use the wows on the shorter batteries and the cools on the longs and regs? am i just toasting the wows too fast on the long/regs? suggestions?

Ms. Sweetblackkitten the king diamond batts will burn through juice faster than their ashcap counter parts whether wow or cool (but especially the wow). The size of the batt really doesn't come into play, just the type. Have you been using the wow cartos on the kd's?

I agree sweetblackkitten I felt that with my last order!
I didn't know that about The Diamond Batts...good to know, I thought I was running through Prefill Wow Peppermint carts a little faster than usual!.. I am going back to my ashcap batts!

 

[Morandir835]

Preservid (sir right?) higher voltage means higher wattage means more juice burned off....

I have switched to cool carts primarily now for that reason. With these new xl diamond tips, the Wows just go too quick! Too easy to burn through them. Even the cool carts I tend to top off with juice, just 3 or 4 drops every hour or so. Love the diamond tips though!

Morandir835 ...LOL, I am a Mrs......Preservid is actually my 5th great grandfathers name!..... Anyway, I think I will go back to manual ash tip battery..... All but 3 of my newer short and X-lg diamonds are way over a year old. still going but they do not hold a charge for long and I think I tend to blame the cart!......I think my next order will be for new everything, from the charger on down!, Anyone else have a hard time throwing away a worn down battery? LOL

Thanks Morandir!

Ms. Preservid have a feeling the batts have just reached their maximum number of charges. What charger have you been using with them?

I have been using the large charger that came in my kit in August 2010!, I am just about to order the slim charger and A few new ash cap batteries!...I think I will throw away all the earlier (over a year old) batteries!...Just waiting for the Wheel a deal sale to hit!

Well if they still work, maybe someone in the swap thread would like them. You never know.
