Don't give up. Go with the thicker juice so it does not gurggle, then every 1/2 dozzen or so vapes, take a couple/few sharp draws with no power. You should see a bubble come out of the carto hole. My juice is too thick to wick by it's own, but this solved the dry hit problem. Hope that might help with your problem.

Edit: On the gurggle, is it when you are vaping or with no power? Cartos sound like they are gurggling when vaping, but if I vape with no power, no gurggle. Just a thought

QQ carto got to normal but muted flavor. KK has burnt taste doesn't go away even with few drops (kinda like driping) so i guess its done. And i had it from first filling, so i guess i just ruined it. At list cleaning will let me keep experimenting without yaky taste.

I gona clean them both tonight boil kk and take pics if its any differences with size (as far as its question). I didn't get out today to get smocktech cartomizer so will play with what i have. Btw on focalecig cartos for both qq and kk sold separate so they may be different. I will wait on budget to order few original cartos as well.

If alot of devices can be so sensitive as +- 5% of vg in ratio, i guess need to look at it as its part of deal.

Ok so just wondering based on NINI's experience with Paypal. Nini said she was logged in her FC account but it did not register. So how does on make sure that if you are logged in and hit Paypal that it gets linked to your account as purchased?

I usually go back to my account and check recent orders, and check the payment status :unsure:

Buwahhh! Don't have a clue how they got the wrong email addy!!!!
"Hello Bernina,


You were using DIFFERENT Paypal email address for payments.
Please check attachment.
Order Q222122329 was paid by zubzranch@msn.com
Order Q125123771 and Q219215051 were paid by zubazranch@msn.com
That's why there are two orders under email address
zubazranch@msn.com and we couldn't search another order under your name but different email address.

Hope this solved your confusion and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you!
Doris"

Lawd have MERCY! Now I hope they have the correct email to put that order under!!!!:blink:

Maybe it was a typo when you input your email, and checked out as a guest with Paypal? Whatever it was, I'm just happy that it is all good now. :) ... And I guess this is why "staff" seemed to be going back and forth with you, because they just couldn't find the order based on the proper email. ... Alas, all is good in the world again. :D

Damn, I did not even think about the small tube. I had one on my turtleship, it is considered the kick sleeve in the event you want to put a kick in it. Be sure that the brass pin on the button is not stuck in the up position or it will fire the mod without you pushing the button. It needs to be inset in the delrin ring slightly so that when you push the fire button it hits the battery then recesses itself when you let go. Don't ask me how I know that. :blush:

Yeah I didn't see the seam until I saw a review on a website and saw 3 tubes lol.
got the firing perfect, gotta tweak the air flow control. I believe it's done my turning the fire button to the left?

I have heard this about cartotanks ... that once you get the burnt taste, that its over, done! So you may have to just replace that one, but I am glad that at least the QQ stop gurgling.

And I was just saying that I think the QQ and KK cartotank is a different size, and accept different cartos, especially now that I see Focalecig is listing the replacements separately. FYI,... the Boge's don't work on the KK, and I think this is why. That customer said he used them on the QQ mod.

I am so glad I didn't opt for the KK then. No Boge? That sux. Can cartos for the KK be found at B&M's???
Hope they aren't proprietary to Marstech.

I have a couple of those tanks and love them. You did get a great deal! I hope you love it. I haven't gotten the hang of rebuilding yet and carto tanks are the best I've used so far.

Any idea where to get the o-rings? From the look of the picture the top one looks nicked, might need to be replaced. Could you tell me where you got yours or where I might get o-rings? Thanks

Rebuilding is not that hard, but cartos are good. I use a little of all of it, but can't beat the flavor of a New Carto, Mmmmm. :D

***************************** UPDATE **************************************

The price listed for the 5pk of replacement Marstech cartos was incorrect. Apparently they updated the photo, before they updated the price :( The correct price for a 5 pk is ..... $9.37 (ducks tomatoes) ..... :unsure:

Doris's earlier email makes more sense now... she said she couldn't get the supplier to come down on the price, so it is what it is.

Burnie, FT has a heap of orings for cheap in 50pc packs, and of varying sizes ... They don't have red though, they are all black.

I think the ibtanked website has o rings in a variety of sizes. If it were me, I would probably just take the old one to a hardware store to make sure you're getting the right size.

OK, Seen Them, What size do I order ? ???????????????????????? :unsure:

Lots of different sizes. I have a lot of tanks I soaked in vinegar to get rid of the old juice smell/taste, that I fubared the o-rings, and I have no idea what size to order, thats the problem, right size for the right tank.

There goes the idea of them being the cheapest. No reason for Marstech to make them cheaper, FC has no choice but to buy them unless they want to tell people that the tanks are disposable :(

For a 25mm outer diameter and possibly a 20-22 inner diameter, I am guessing somewhere around the 15-18mm range? ... I know you have to go by inner diameter of the tank, and then a bit smaller than what that is because the orings are meant to stretch a bit to fit snug... Google? :laugh:

Or maybe wait to get the tank and measure the inner diameter yourself? That is if you can't find someone who knows for sure.

Yes, if FC will not just stop buying them for this only reason. I do not care about price so much, but that fact i'm out of cartos and best chance i can get them 2-3 weeks? Why would i want to try this toy in this case. I was thinking about getting an other of those and in fact i adore kk more then qq, now unlikely i will buy it, i do not wont to be chaned and truck my order with cartos every second, as well as i do not want to keep 40 baks in cartos sitting for just in case.
