gogo cart refilling not working so well

[borjis]

I've used 3 of my 5 pre-filled carts.

They work great until needing a refill.

They work great again after refilling 2 or 3 times.

I've cleaned them out by soaking in hot water for 10 minutes,
then blowing them out dry, then baking in the oven for an hour at 300 degrees
then sit and air dry via the instructions somebody suggested.

Once refurbished, it will take about 70 drops.

It seems like the liquid is not wicking to the coil.
The vapor is ok for a little bit then next to nothing. If I top it off it just
leaks through the hole. (no it's not that the coil is saturated as I've gone through this a few times)
Seems to be not wicking.

I keep hearing how everyone is getting many more refills and excellent
tasty vapor but it's not happening for me.

any suggestions? I really like this pv when it works with a new pre-filled cart but I can't keep throwing out olds ones every other day.

I use a syringe to refill cartos, get a small one, like a 22g and poke it down into the filler material, this will inject the juice directly into the filler and make it more saturated and no waiting for it to soak in.

The other good way to get the juice to the coil is to drip the juice into the bottom hole, through the battery end of the carto instead of from the top.

Hope this helps

Hello Borjis,

My first question would be "how thick is the juice you are using?" A thick juice can kill a carto pretty quickly. I generally use 75% or higher PG and 25% or less VG. VG is the thick one. Thick juices can be diluted with about 10% distilled water and make them work much better.

I have had the same issue with the GoGo carts and also the iGo carts. The most they will last me is about 1 week using 80%PG and 20%VG. The liquid does not look thick compared to my 100%PG liquid.

It seems the filler just won't absorb liquid anymore. Tried pushing the filler down, aired with a needle, but same thing.

I did end up fixing my particular issue by pushing the filler down just a bit.

the filler shrinks a little every 2-3 refills, thus losing contact with the coil for proper wicking.
