Faulty Cartomizer?

[DocNukem]

I recently received an order that included a Sax 2.0 ohm Clearomizer and an eGo 1.5 ohm Dual Coil Mega Cartomizer. I mounted these on the two pipes I have from ePipeMods. The Clearomizer works fine on both pipes after raising the 510 contact slightly.
The cartomizer doesn't work on either pipe even after raising the contact. Is it normal to occasionally get a cartomizer that just doesn't work?

Welcome , but sometimes that happens . The only trouble with that , is it would cost more to send the item back , for a replacement . But call the vendor where you got them , and ask them how to proceed , for a replacement , even if they just add one or two , to your next order .

Howdy!

I've found that usually 1 out of every 10 I buy are defective. Usually since they're so cheap I don't worry about it, but I'm sure your supplier will throw in an extra on your next order if you're nice to them...

Very low resistance cartomizers will sometimes indicate as shorted on protected batteries. Sucks! It's why I no longer order anything below 2.0 ohm. Actually, I love single coil 2.0 ohm carts so much I use nothing else any more. Even when you do get a 1.5 ohm cart that (initially) works, it will likely stop working soon as the resistance drops to 1.4 as you begin to use it. Don't mess with the 1.5 ohm carts, they are just a waste of money on most protected batteries (and I wouldn't want to use them on an unprotected battery anyhow).
