cking.....I'm pretty sure that you don't just suck at life.
Like everything in the world of "First times" there is a little bit of learning curve. All this means is that the Carto just isn't fully saturated...that's all.
So try this, set out a paper towel then add another 12 drops to the cartomizer, 3-4 at a time. Have your bottle ready because we are going to purposely flood the carto a little. Add 3-4 and wait a few seconds checking the bottom of the carto and when you see a drop of juice come out....stop. It will probably be followed by a few more which can just be sucked back into your bottle. Just give your bottle a little squeeze first to push out some of the air, put the dropper at the end of the carto, then release the bottle and the juice should get sucked back in.
If juice more than a few drops come out, turn the tank upside down and this should stop it. The good thing is that the KR batteries are a lot more forgiving than say a 5v device would be. Hopefully all you did was singe the polyfill a little.
Once you are all done wipe of the battery connecto and sit the tank in upright position for a minute. Then try it again.
In the future when you go to prime the carto (finger over the battery connection, then take a few dry draws) note the level of the juice in the tank, as you prime the carto the juice level should drop about 1/8th of an inch. You should be able to feel the juice getting sucked into the tank.
Hope that fixes it for you, please let us know...
