I also do not like DC.
I'll be checking for the single coil Standard resistance (unwrapped)
Thanks!

If this carto that you are using is in a tank, Turn the tank up with the threads pointing up and with a napkin or towel above the threads blow the excess juice out onto the napkin. Then with a tissue soak any excess out of the tip end by pushing the tissue into the carto until its against the filler materiel and soak it up. You should be able to see light completely thru the carto if held up to a light source. If you have done this and it still does not work either the carto has a shorted coil or the battery is not make a good connection. Check the the center post of the carto is sticking up a little higher than the outside thread if not using a paper clip raise it up a little by prying up on the center post from both sides just intil the center post is a little higher that the threads.
Got my DC chrome tank today and so far its great. Great vapor , good TH at 3.7 volts
going to try 5 & 6 volts later with it.

I got a tank last week and the carto that came with it was great. Today I replaced the carto with a replacement tank carto. The problem I'm having is the new carto doesnt seem to take in the liquid like it should. I have even enlarged the hole with a saddle valve but it hasn't seemed to help. Any suggestions as to what is wrong? Thanks.
Okay, IDK. I personally have had no luck with dual coils on a 3.7 device as far as vapor, actually none, but this is my experience.
However, try just sucking in some juice without pushing the button to fire the pv. You will be able to get some juice in there, you can watch the bubbles in the tank (gleefully) and then it should work.
Could even be just the vapor lock on no air coming in the carto yet from getting it all pushed back together.

Thanks for your help. I'm thinking it has to do with the vaccum. I was able to get it to work some by pulling on it without firing my pv. I'm going to take the tank apart and clean everything good, I'm seeing some liquid around the orings that may be causing too much of a seal? We will see.
Update: It was the carto. I cleaned everything and put the carto back in and after about 10 drags it died. I had one last carto I put that one in primed it and it seems to be working fine, I'm seeing bubbles finally. Now off to order more replacement cartos from MV.
Those replacement cartos do seem to be hit or miss, I've had several that just would not wick all the way even after letting it sit for an hour, dropping into the filler, dragging without firing several times before firing... When they work, they work great, but there about 1/4 of mine have just been defective.

This is the hookup I'm using with the tank, 3.7 with a twin parallel 18650 box.
Only wish MV would sell this box (Hint to Hoog
)

My tank came with a 2.0ohm for some reason - or at least that's what it checked out as when tested. Maybe a bad carto? It seemed to work ok, it just seemed weak compared to the EMDCCs I'm used to. I had also ordered the 1.5 replacement and tried it out the next day. The difference between the "shipped with" carto and the 1.5ohm replacement was very noticeable. Much better TH and vapor - right up there with the EMDCCs
As for how long of a drag - I've chain-vaped this baby enough to get the aluminum drip-tip to the point of being "uncomfortably warm" without any other issues so far. I'm using Top Vapor PG-based fluid, btw.

Also... is there really any difference between the 1.6ohm that's supposed to ship with it and the 1.5 replacement sold separately? Why not sell the 1.6ohm? Or just call the 1.5ohm a 1.6ohm and ride on the "may vary +/- 0.1ohm" statement?
(sorry if these have been asked already)

That is confusing, but a - 0.1ohms will make no difference in how it works.
My experience so far with the 3.5 ml chromed tank on an eGo 650 battery and ProVari. The 1.6 ohm carto pulls the voltage down on an eGo, so it's a bit too light a vape. Using a Provari at 3.6 volts it's a very different experience because the voltage doesn't sag.
Current in excess of 2 amps is hard on an eGo battery, shortens Li-ion life and in time will fry the circuit board unless you vape easy and give it a chance to cool off.
It's a good design. The little carto hole works fine even with 100% VG as long as you do occasional dry pulls. You can see bubbles when you draw and it needs juice, it means the carto is being fed. I can't see the need to enlarge the hole.
The end caps do seem like chromed delrin, but they look great to start with, we'll see if they scratch up easily. The tube is plenty thick enough, there was a review saying it was very flimsy and I don't agree. The rest of the hardware is well finished and classy too. The 3.5 with the little cone they offer looks fantastic on an eGo, very sci-fi. The 5 ml with its cone looks boss on a big unit like a ProVari, very Dungeons and Dragons. Wish they made one flush with the body like the 3.5 is on an eGo. The clear drip tips are nice, keep the tank on, are easy on the teeth, not too soft.
It's a very good tank at last for $12-14 including the "cone".
But it's only fair to say that the cartos themselves are not that impressive. No bad "third party" taste, but neither flavor nor vapor are strong. Maybe with a bigger hole ... ? ;-)

Question: i tried the 5ml tank with a 2 ohm replacement carto. I can see no bubbles and it doesn't feed as well. Anyone found a way to improve feed without enlarging hole? Use a pin to clear it? Ideas? Or just mount another carto?
Surprised you got your first carto to feed with 100% VG Fernand. Personally couldn't get mine to feed no matter what I tried, nary a bubble until I drilled some substantially larger holes.

I always use a saddle valve to punch my carto's and punch just one hole in it as far as I can turn the punch down on the saddle valve. I do this just one time and that has been working well for the last 3 months. I don't know if this is any help to you but, don't give up, the tanks are great and make the carto's last longer than when out of a tank. Sometimes I don't see bubbles after filling the tank either, it's maybe wicking enough before I get around to doing the draws on the drip tip to suck fluid in?? I use 70%pg/30%vg.
I am using top vapors juice and have not noticed any problems with the holes. Also I noticed that the replacement cartons have a slightly larger whole than the one that ships with the tank, but I'm loving the convenience and performance so far on my riva and KGO
