EVO batteries and Atomizers.

Correct on the new carts.

As for the straw mod I doubt you'd be able to find anything with a suitable diameter to fit an old EVO cart. Even a Q tip stem would take up half of the cart. Anyway, the straw mod is to increase air flow in the inner cart so that the liquid flows to the atty from the bottom of the cart, something I've never had problems with on an EVO. If you had a 510 on the other hand......

hey guys ive had my black evo for 5 days now. i noticed that the atomizer makes a gargling noise after a draw sometimes. is that a common thing??? also one of my batteries only last for like three hours its weird. im scared i got a deffective kit, i dont want to loose my evo cause i live on guam and shipping takes for everrrrr.... the carts suck! they leak and dont last very long. also they dont really give a throat hit its weird, sometimes they do sometimes they dont. i love intellicig and like i really feel that it is a quality brand but i guess i just got a bad set. any one have any tips for me? im still new to e cigs. i also wanted to know if it is safe to leave the atty and the bad screwed on together all day long? is it safe for the batt?

thanks to anyone who can give some advice

Hey Sloth - tough duty, there, Guam, feel for ya!

when you fill your carts, if you can see a reflection on the top of the cart, like a 'lake effect', then draw a tissue lightly over the top to soak up the excess. You want your cart wet, but not reflecting back at you. If it's reflecting, it's overfilled, and when the atomizer is pressed into the filling, it will overflow, resulting in a leak.
If you've had your ecig sitting for a while after you've vaped, take off the mouthpiece, and blowing lightly thru the mouthhole end (not the open end), blow out any condensation into a tissue. Replace mouthpiece and vape. This will solve most 'leaking' problems.
In between vaping, store your EVO either horizontally or with the mouthpiece down slightly. Periodically, check your battery for signs of condensation/moisture on the post or base of post - wipe dry. Flooding the atomizer is the most common cause of battery failure.
I have been running the same EVO atomizer for 111 days and counting - lost two batteries in the first two months, but definitely was from flooding them as a newbie as I haven't lost another one yet. your mileage may vary.
hope this helps!

thanks for all the help guys i appretiate them!
i just got back from a trip to the philippines, i stopped over japan to get there. man o man was i glad to have a ecig i vaped it on the plane and in the airport no problem. i could tell all the smokers where jealous , or didnt know what i was "smoking". one of my batteries died while i was there, like the led lights up when u blow on it but it wont make the atomizer work. so im left with only one bat... either it broke from dropping it or from flooding. i will definately keep your advices in mind, thanks again. well, i just totally ran out of e juice so im going to have to order em again which sucks cause they take like a week and a half to get here.
alright guys
