Think I'm going to give up trying with these types of cartos. I thought that they would work better in a punched carto, because they would get continual juice feed at the bottom, but I either burn them or get a bad taste from them. I've tried two different brands and they're just not working for me the way that I thought they would. Heat production is out of this world, but I need a good taste on them. I know that other people are getting superb results from them, so if you have any tips I would appreciate hearing about them. The closest description that I can describe to the bad taste is something bitter like tree sap. I think I'll stick with boge and smoktech cartos for now though.

I did try a few of the Kanger SR horizontal's unpunched & punched in a tank. Gotta say, as for a carto - they have simply the best taste & wicked well. The downside was they only lasted a couple of days & the taste became muted.
Well the only tip I have is make sure you wet it really well and don't rely on the tank to do it . If you leave it for a while top up before using it again and leave a bit of air space in the tank or you might end up creating too much of a suction for the tank to work right .
I punch two holes in all of my cartos; one near the bottom and one near the top for airflow. I filled the cartos first (dripping from the top) until liquid started to run out of the bottom hole. Then I put the carto in my tank, put a wee bit more liquid into the carto for the "slushie" look. Took some dry vapes and then powered up and vaped. If a lot of other people are getting a good vape off of the horizontal coils and I'm not, then I must be doing something that is not right and I can't think of what else I need to do.
**Edit**
I punch a larger hole in the bottom for vg liquid and a small one near the top. Perhaps the horizontals don't do well with 100% vg?

i'm relatively new to this but i use horizontal coil carts and they tell me that icky taste is from letting them go dry and trying to puff
remedy: you can put rubbing alcohol or vinegar, some say
i just plop em in boiling water and stir for a couple minutes, let em dry real good overnight (i stand em so the fill side is down on paper towel) and by morning they're dry and no sign or smell of that awful burnt taste. hope that helps

This is the same issue I had. I also find they go dry really quickly and I'm filling them more often than a regular carto.
Too small a hole and they go dry and you have to prime them again with a few drops in the top . Too big a hole and you just flood it . It can be hard some of the time to get it just right .
Yeah they're finicky in a tank. I'm not even talking about in a tank though, I mean just vaping them by themselves, I find they go dry quickly. Weird eh?
