Delayed firing of a carto tank.

[cocacola31173]

My carto tank on my vamo is not firing until about 2 seconds after I hit the button. Its not my vamo cause everything else works with it and the carto tank is doing the same thing with all my other batteries. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Try unscrewing the carto and blowing it out really well before vaping.

There could be several causes of this:

Like zapped mentioned, the carto could be flooded, so it takes awhile for the carto to heat up enough to start vaping.

The coil might be of a different design to your other attys/cartos, certain coil designs, even of the same resistance, can take different amounts of time to come up to operating temperature. Generally coils with longer, thicker wire will take longer to heat up.

Or perhaps it's a dual coil, and you are under powering it, so it takes awhile to start crackling.

What resistance is the carto? Single or dual coil? What wattage or voltage setting do you have it on the Vamo? What other batteries were you trying this on? Other than taking awhile to heat up, is the carto performing OK?

If all else fails just toss the carto and put in a new one.

Its a dual coil 1.5 ohm. I was using it at around 4.5 volts. I always thought if it was flooded then it would gurgle..it wasn't gurgling but blowing it out did help,
