First try on my KGO and smoktech 1.25ohm Carto

[Kencalise]

First try on my KGO and smoktech 1.25ohm DC Carto, I used bwb menthol tobacco 6mg. The KGO and the carto are brand new. It was nice, juice was clear. After a day(almost 9 hrs), the carto burned, nasty smell. I took the carto a part, and it was burned.
Now, I don't know is it the juice cause the burn or the KGO is too powerful.
I used this juice with my 808 and G4 cartos, 808 cartos. The cartos all burned after certain hours.
I am not saying the juice is bad, but i am thinking about that they might not compatible with each other.
Please share some ideas about it.
Thank you!

The only question I have is whether or not you topped it off with juice during those 9hrs.

I did drip the juice on the top via drip tip when i felt it was low.

1.25 ohms? Seems extremely low to me for a carto. Assuming the kgo is 3.3 volts, that's almost 9 watts! Some juices definitely don't like that much power.

I would imagine that unless this thing was continually kept soaking wet, it's gonna burn. I use the 1.7 ressurector cartos on my eGo and those things hit like a freight-train, I couldn't imagine 1.25

I like lr cartos myself but that's why I like a juice feeder. constantly keeping it wet. I find it a pain to be dripping every 3rd or 4th vape

Stupid question, where can i get a juice feeder?
Might be ego T can solve the problem?
Thank you!

Just ordered my second reo a few minutes ago. started with the boge rev2, then a reo mini and now adding a reo grand. it's pricey but just a squeeze now and then and it's always a nice wet vape and no diddling around. rev2 has a 10ml bottle. just charge it. good for a few days. people see it and don't confuse it for smoking. even hardcore non smokers laugh. I just use the ego batteries for extravagant stuff I don't vape often but like having something loaded up. ego t works but does mute the flavor. I use one for cigar since that stuff is so strong anyway. I am playing with using an atty on the mini right now, and that's tasty, but more of a science than a carto.

I am more into convenience than anything. fill 2 units up, some spare crap in pockets and head out. fix it if a carto dies or battery dies. change and continue. getting dry, squeeze the bottle a bit and vape. that said you carry a little box around instead of a tube. mini looks like a small walkie talkie or a cel phone. it's nothing like having a cig in your hands. go to a couple vape meets in your area and see what people have in person. try some. put your drip tip on someone's pv and check it out. that's how I got to see all the cool toys.

Hey, Pipe. Thanks for the advice. I am planning to get a Boge rev V2.1. But how you know when the cart is dry? I drip it every 5 mins. But, it still burned, i just burned my second carto on my kgo.

Maybe Don used too much VG?
I think bwb is 70%pg &30%vg
Might be better for carto if he lows it down to 10%vg

VG liquids and cartos don't play nice together, unless the VG is cut 4/1 with distilled water, which will render it to the same viscosity as PG.

I've never had problems with a 70/30 mix....

What PV and cartos are you using, Concat?
Thanks!

I'm not using them now, but I have used Royal Smokers CE2 or whatever.

I think the tanks are the most sensitive to VG, and I've never had a problem with 70/30. Seems to me it would have more to do with the flavoring ingredients. I think BWB uses real tobacco and they steep it in PG.

Nope their juices come from China and are modified in the US.

How are they modified? Do they do some extra filtering? Just curious.

I think bwb menthol tobacco is green tea + menthol. Since it tastes really like green tea base imo.

Tweak/add flavouring. Don't get me wrong they're good juices but the bases are imported from China.

 

[Not Iris]

I am using base from China and so far have not seen a problem. I am a little uncomfortable about it and I now see that somebody in the US has a US made base, so once my stash here is gone, I will probably give them a try.

 

[Pipeous]

I like chinese based juices myself. I never have any health issues from them. some flavours well that's a different story, but it's for the most part nice and clear, and never has sent me into coughing fits
