I Can't Get No Satisfaction (and I try and I try and I try and I try)

[Klueless]

Have you tried gently pulling the small pin on the batt end of the carto out a little bit? Could be bad connection between batt and carto. Also did you shake the juice before filling as the pg, vg and nic will separate while sitting.

Edit: when filling the carto via the PBusardo/ condom way make absolute sure you push the carto down into the juice very, very slowly.

Gonna give the pin pull a try. My Mistic (ugh) is actually hitting better than my ego with boge right now. That is ridiculous. Thank you for your help. I always appreciate and am grateful for anyone who responds. Desperately trying so hard to keep my 30 day as of today non smoking status. But... right now, I am in a bad mood.

Hi Klueless. Sorry to see you having this many issues with your new gear. So if i read correctly you have about 20+ drops and just so we are all on the same page your top looks visibly soaked? are you hearing sizzling through the carto when you press you fire button?

Thank you. I am sure I'm more sorry than anyone at this point. Visibly soaked. No sizzling. Battery is firing good...

Sorry to hear you're having such a bad time today. I wonder if the carto you're using right now could be a dud. Maybe the resistance is higher than it should be. Maybe try a different carto from a different box if you have one.

no sizzling is a sign you should check your center pin. Take a tweezer, bent paperclip(forming a small j) or jewlers screwdriver etc and wiggle the center pin up, go slowly you only need to moov it up about half a millimeter. It sounds to me as though you are not making good contact with the battery. give it a shot. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

"No sizzling" sounds like a dead carto.

here you go!

Yup, just checked... at 3.4v my 2ohm boge carto sizzles. If yours doesnt i would suspect poor connection or bad carto OR standard resistance cartos....... if you have access to an ohm meter it would verify the two latter questions.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Yes it could be a dead carto and it happens to everyone.

Oh my ... weeks of reading my eyeballs bloody and watching tutorial vids and this is the first time I've heard of shaking juice. No, I did not shake it. Hell's bells! Now I am going to pull my pin but it looks pretty flush as is. Will come back and give an update. Juice has had plenty soak time. No reason this shouldn't work (unless now I cannot find my eyeglass repair kit to pull my pin) ... about to flip a pin and end up in then pen.

grrrrrrrrr im starting to feel your frustration myself !!!!
WE SHALL FIX THIS PROBLEM!!! lol
im like googling, yahoo-ing, youtubing everything right now lol

Okay, have pulled the pin up substantially. No distinguishable difference. Why, oh WHY can't I just good, deep chest hit. I'll even sacrifice th for chest right now. I need lung food!

It sounds like the carto might be dead and it's happened to all of us.

I know that this e cig thing opens doors initially for extravagant expenses.

That said, buy a vv device. While I find the 1.7 ohm cartos to be perfect on a ego battery..... its doesnt compare to the consistency of a big battery on a vv device.

p.s. I find that there one has to be careful with the balance of juice to avoid burning a carto or getting bad hits on an atty.... and getting a good hit (or a good 4-5 hours on a carto)

Hi again klueless. I suggest at your convenience go to sears/kmart/walmart and invest in a digital multimeter. You can pickup a model that will do everything you need for around 20bucks.You will most often want to read ohms and DC voltage thats all it needs to be able to read. Keep it with your vape supplies it will be handy in situations like this so that you can see for yourself what the resistance of the carto actually is. I suspect either a standard resistance carto or an outright bum carto is your most possible issue. Have you tried more than one?

Well I am getting something and a decent vape... it's just not doing it for me. I honestly think I would cry tears of joy choking on a 10 volt hit right now. Gonna try another carto. If that doesn't do it I'm going for a killer hitter using my credit card tonight. I've tried to keep things small because I am a woman who does not like carrying around anything that resembles a bicycle pump or 70's walkie talkie to vape from. Right now? I don't care anymore. I need big and bad and fast.

 

[Bohab13]

Maybe try it on a different battery. Could be low voltage.

Going for new carto right now. Need some time to soak it out good so all is prim perfect proper... *by cracky! (*Southern slang) Will come back with an update on my progress. Thank you so much. All of you...

I bought an Ego that right out of the box no matter what I put on it, it just didn't hit right. No sizzle, very little vapor, very impotent vape. Shortly thereafter the switch quit working altogether-no light and the button felt very loose. I returned the switch for a replacement which worked great at first but also bit the dust after just a few weeks.

I have no understanding of the technicalities of how all this stuff works so I cannot offer an explanation (and I may be totally wrong in my understanding of your particular problem), just thought I'd add my experience and another possibility

Hope you find a solution soon!
