I ordered a pack of royal blue wow carts and on my second one I am filling it seems to be a dud. I filled it up with juice and nothing. I have to puff and puff. Very little vapor and the cart gets warm like its working. I pulled the post out a little in case it was a post issue, same.

V4L does not warranty the carts do they? Did I just eat the cost of the cart and the 20 or so drops of the liquid?

Is there a way to not waste liquid to see if its a dud?

/cry...

I filled a 3rd and its working fine.

Any thoughts on the issue I would be greatfull.

Thanks family for listening.

Try removing some of the juice...I will get that sometimes.....if you are filling with a syringe, just suck some back out...if not, you can either spin some out, or just blow out.....I will say, that I have at times blown from the batt end with the cap on and just kept it horizontal and vaped till whatever juice was floating in the free space could be absorbed without over saturation (if that makes sense)...but not on an auto batt.

+1 to kee's suggestion of spinning out the juice. But have you tried that carto on a different battery? I've had a couple of carto's that wouldn't work on one battery but did on another....I've also read of people taking a bit of sandpaper to the carto threads...if there's burrs in the threads maybe it's not getting a good connection....
Also make sure you can see through the middle tube -- if you can't, then you can't vape it.

I am having a little bit of trouble with the blank cartos too =( two out of five in a five pack of blanks i got i filled each once and slightly worked for about ten minutes then just stopped creating vapor. im very careful as to not burn them and i fill them up correctly, the other 3 blanks seem to be working like a dream tho.

Ok, this is what I do for when I refill cartos. I try to not overfill but it always happens.

1) fill carto however you like to fill (I use the condom method)

2) Let it sit on the counter or where ever for 1 hour or so, due to the wow cartos are not as "thirsty" as the cool's, liquid takes longer to absorb.

3) once it sits, suck LIGHTLY on the carto, if you hear gurgling in the carto take a paper towel and just lightly blow it out.

zachman.....might be a long shot, but on the 2 that are being fickle, try adjusting the post on the carto....it may be getting a poor connection to the batt.....

Have you been doing the Taryn spin after adding some juice? I cannot emphasize enough how much it helps.
It helps the juice go down to the bottom of the cart and makes room for more juice. I usually have to fill
and spin three times on a new cart before full. Maybe you are putting in juice, and seeing it pool at the top,
you think it is full. It just doesn't absorb quickly...therefore the spin. I think if you start vaping while the
juice is only at the top of the filler, you may burn your filler. Just an idea....
