so i got my provari and am using the dct v2 tank with the pre punched cartos and when i got my vari, i put a new carto into it (it was working great before on the ego and/or lavatube, but great is relative cuz the pv sucked... so yea) and it just tasted burnt and ....ty. i tried and tried ot get it to work and finally got ...... and ripped it out, tried using a saddle valve to punch a carto and put three small holes in it and it flooded a little but it was leaking because of the way the valve pushed in the sides of the carto... so bleh, i threw it out. took another one and cut slots into it, and it worked alright, i cut three small ones in it, and it worked decent for a day or two, then started flooding like crazy, but then actually just kind of stopped working... it would go from totally dry hits to floods

I use boges but not for much longer. I only put one small hole in and it wont flood or get dry. However the issue I have been having is air flow restriction after about 4 hours it starts and gets so bad after the second day that It like drinking a soda with a straw. May not want to do it like I did and maybe thats just one thing that does not work.

I usually vape 70/30 juice and I haven't had any problems with flooding or dry hits on my smoktech replacement cartos. I use the prepunched and don't understand how the juice can get in that little hole but it spits out an air bubble about every vape. I haven't punched my own yet. I have noticed certain juices can restrict the draw faster than others. I have burned a few by being impatient but now I fill the tank and drip 10 or 15 drops on the carto and let it sit a few minutes. I then give it a few hard primer puffs to see the air bubbles and let it sit a few more minutes and then vape. When I dont' let it sit after the primer puffs is when I have burned a few and have to start over.
