Gurgling, bubbling carto.

Glad you have it figured. Even Ikenvape has a few duds here and there.

Careful with those carto-punchers, by the time you get a larger hole, the end of the screw is in very deeply- puncturing the tube. Even the $40 ones.

OK, I've punched 2 small holes in another carto, filled it, via the condom method, with about 25 drops of 100& VG, and placed it in my tank. The carto is firing. I've taken a bunch of primer puffs without turning the battery on and, as of now, no gurgling. Took a couple hits, and it's clear that the carto hasn't saturated with juice yet. It tastes like cotton. How long does it usually take to saturate with VG?

With 100VG you may want to add a drop or 2 of distilled water per mL of liquid, it's VERY thick on it's own and known to cause trouble with carto-tanks (I'm using a...20/80 DIY and added 1 drop per mL to thin it for my 2*1mm hole carto).

It actually comes thinned out a bit from Dripeez.

Still waiting on this thing to saturate, but just wanted to say thanks to all who've responded. So cool that this place exists.

 

[r77r7r]

You're quite welcome. If you're in a hurry, I've primed mine by blowing thru the drip tip and into my hand until I get a few drops, with 70/30- I can vape immediately then.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

You can either fill by drops or the condom method.

To get juice into the far reaches of the carto you can also try the Taryn Spin

 

[kmayer29]

Jeez...Still having a pretty hard time here. Not sure if the holes are too small or something, but I'm still getting blank hits. I topped off the carto with juice, blew through the top of the carto, and the filler material at the top still seems saturated. I don't know why I can't get good hits. I'm sweating over here lol.

 

[kmayer29]

This is what the holes look like if that helps.

 

[r77r7r]

Many find that the top of the carto does not need to be wet to vape in a tank.

 

[kmayer29]

Yeah, I never topped off the one that was working correctly. Thought maybe that's why I was getting little inconsistencies with my hits...Kinda just trying anything right now. Need nicotine lol.

Sounds like it's thru the center tube. Been there, done that...flooded!

Question: If the carto is firing, even if it just tastes like i'm vaping filler material, i shouldn't have to make any adjustments to my 510-801 adapter, right?

Sounds correct to me. If you're getting vapor now, do you think you burnt it early on? Once you burn them, seems like the taste stays.

These are Ikenvapes cartos correct?

Yes. Low res mega 801 fusion. I don't go over 4.2 volts on my twist. If it's burnt, wouldn't it have more of a burnt taste instead of just cottony?

 

[r77r7r]

Sounds right. Sounds like it's just dry- but it sure seems like it shouldn't be by now. Maybe they'd b able to help you out over at Ike's sub-forum?

OK I'll give them a try over there. I doubt he'd appreciate the fact that I'm using a stealth adapter tho lol.

 

[kmayer29]

I posted over there over an hour ago and haven't gotten a response. I don't know what's going on. Kinda losing my mind here lol. Plus I keep hitting this carto, and is making me feel sick.

I will say this though: It seems like something changed with my stealth adapter. While screwing it onto my twist, it used to get tight, but I could still tighten further if I wanted to. But now, once I feel that resistance, it's pretty much already as tight as it can go. Could this be the problem?
