How tightly do you screw on your cartomizers?

[Cyrus Vap]

Do you have to make sure the battery air intake holes (two in my case, its a sealed auto batt G6 or manual G6) line up with the cartomizer slits?

 

[robblundberg]

no. you don't wanna thread it on so tight that it seizes or you'll be really ....... the airholes do not have to line up.

thank you for the swift reply

what is 'seizing' and why/how does that happen?

 

[robblundberg]

seizing just means you thread it on so tight that you physically cannot remove it without the use of a tool or lubricant or something of that nature.

it's a common problem with say, automotive bolts or nuts or something of that nature, but is very plausible for anything involving threads. just don't thread them on too tight and you'll be fine. thread it on till you can feel it "stop", after that point you would have to use a good amount of force to continue threading and that's when you run into territory that you could possible force it to "lock" or "seize".

i screw my cartos on just snug enough. i dont screw them on mega tight. it makes the draw to tight. plus i feel like i could damage the threads if i use too much force.

Just until they a) work and b) aren't likely to unscrew themselves in my pocket.

The holes don't have to line up, but there are variations in all the KR808D-1 products from different manufacturers. All you have to do is screw it in until it is snug. If you are not getting good vapor, it could be several things:
* Weak battery - some batteries, especially the short ones, loose their ability to hold a charge.
* Dirty battery - try using an old tooth brush to clean out the contacts and air holes. No alcohol needed.
