Clogged carto?

[germcage]

I got my eGo about an hour ago. I filled up a carto of chocolate and it was amazing, .......*** amazing. But then I fill up another brand new carto of 555 and the only way to describe it is its clogged, i tried it on and off the battery. When its on the battery and i try and take a pull i get a little bit of smoke but i just choke on it its incredibly harsh (and i'm used to all kinds of harsh smoke).
Did i waste all that juice and the carto? or can i save this somehow?

Cartos are reusable so don't throw it away.

There are lots of things you can try. Sometimes you have to let a carto sit for a couple of hours before using it. You can take a q-tip dipped in alcohol, squeeze out the excess, then wipe down the threads on the battery and the carto.

If you don't like the juice, then clean the carto out. I found a youtube video by Nilius that shows the method I use. Others have different ways to clean the cartos, you just have to find one that you like.

As far as the juice goes, if you don't like it-save it. Your taste will change over time and you just might find you like the 555 in a month or two.

Others will be along shortly to help. Just hang there.

I just tried the carto again still nothing, just a gurgling and its like trying to suck ice cream threw a straw.
I also think I don't have enough juice at the moment to use my cartos the one I filled (and it worked fine) used about 1/4 of my 10ML bottle. Dripping and filling the cart seams to work great for now.

When I have experienced cartos that appear to be clogged I have gently inserted an unbent paperclip through the battery end to push any blockage out of the way.

Try a paper clip as suggested and then blowing from the threaded end to clear out the coil channel. If you can open the top end and remove the pieces from that end, you may be able to push the paper clip so it comes out the top. You may then be able to open the coil channel all the way thru the wading that goes around the coil.
