Fix for Dud Blank Carto?

[MnLA]

Hello,

I filled three blanks today, at the same time, the same way, and two of them are working like gangbusters, but one doesn't produce anything on either of my batts or my passthrough. I would suspect that something isn't connecting, and I did try to coax the post on the bottom of the carto out a bit, but that didn't do anything.

Is there a fix for this, or should I just yank the juice back out and toss this little guy in the recycling bin?

Happy Thursday!

hmm fixing the center post did not work? that sounds like the issue.

Ya, take a flat head screw driver or key or something and rotate the center post counter clockwise, ie raising the post. Likely a contact issue with the battery.

I had this issue recently on some XL cartos. I did a couple of things.

1. Raised the post on both the carto and the battery
2. I was using some higher VG juice so spun them to force the juice down
3. Used the condom fill method from the bottom to get juice to the coil.

Eventually I got them all to work...and I'm not sure which of the above solved the problem.

Thanks for the responses!

No joy here. I guess I'll spin the juice back out and stick it in another one.....

Happy Friday!
