Maybe...it doesn't like you?

:?:

No, seriously. If they are using the same PV and same tank as you, and it doesn't work with you while it does with them...then you are doing something wrong.

Only 2 possibilities.

1: You are drawing too softly.

2: You are drawing too hard.

Seems like it shouldn't be that hard to fix.

LOL - Is the Ego a automatic battery?

Do NOT over tighten tank and cut off air flow

Vamo
Set to watts
Set to NO2
Set to 7 watts

Press big button
Draw for a minimum of 4-5 seconds
Exhale

Results?

Set to watts check
Set to no2 check
Set to 7 watts check
Draw for 4 seconds check
Tiny tiny tiny bit of vapor and by tiny I mean I can barely see it! no check

Umm, just checking - you did do the PRESS BIG BUTTON part, right?

Next thing, how are you vaping? Are you inhaling the vapor into your lungs before exhaling? Try not inhaling it, just pull it into your mouth and blow it back out? Is there vapor now?

If so it's just inhaling that's reducing it, great for stealth, hold it in your lungs a couple of seconds longer, and no visible vapor at all, but, that doesn't mean you aren't getting the flavor and nicotine, just means you're hiding the fog is all.

Edit: Hz ninja'd me. :)

Do you know what kinda cartos you got going on in that tank? I'm sure Bad would have more insight if we know what carto it is.
This situation makes no sense to me. Same battery and tank - it works for one person and not the other. What's different here? The one variable is one of the vapors is apparently doing something different, and I suspect it's mommafish.

Is it her inhale technique? Maybe. She's able to get vapor with her clearomizers, but why not the cartotank? Inhalation technique could be different between the clearo and the cartotank. Protanks are known for an airy draw. Maybe the cartotank has a stiffer draw?

Mommafish, can you get any vapor from it if you do a pipe smoker's puff with the cartotank? PBusardo does this to prime his delivery devices before he takes a nice long draw. He draws quickly in & out of his mouth a couple of times without inhaling, then takes a nice long draw. If you can't get vapor with this technique...

...I'm stumped. :blink:

Oh, man. Baditude is stumped.

This signals the end of days.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky. Rivers and seas, boiling! Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanos! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

;-)

No, Baditude is rightly stumped. If someone took the OP's device, used it, and got good vapor production, then handed the same exact device back to the OP and they tried it and got nothing... hate to say it, it's the OP that's doing something wrong. I wish we could do more to help you. I work in a B&M and we honestly do our best to figure stuff like this out.

Seems like you been vaping for a while. A lot longer then me. Perhaps the tank is just not into you. :?:Any particular reason you wanted it? Are you done with your other tanks and are not satisfied? Because if you are satisfied with your other tanks why not stick to them. I guess I am old fashioned. When I like something I stick to it. If I try something else and it doesn't work for me, I leave it alone or go back to to it later it most times work then. They won't exchange it for you huh? Oh yes I guess the tanks are different from the batteries as far are replacing them.
Hope you find a solution. How long have you had it?

Did you try pulling the post down? The post might of gone up when you put it on one of your devices with a floating pin. Or you may have used too high a voltage once you got home and snapped the coil. You might want to try pulling down the post and making sure it isn't touching the side of the carto. Can you check the resistance? maybe its a high res carto and they used it on a spinner at a higher voltage, and your using it at 4v and getting little vapor because it needs more powaahh. Idk. I hope you can figure this conundrum out, or, alternatively, you could toss it in the trash can and swear at it. I have seen a lot of people try the latter method, and, while it does have a learning curve, most anyone can learn the toss n cuss method with determination.

Well I'm far from an expert but this is just weird so I'm curious now. When you say you don't get a vape, what DOES happen? When I'm not getting a vape I am getting something else, whether it be an experience like it's not even on (meaning something isn't connecting) a tight draw with nothing going in or coming out (air hole covered) a feeling like I'm drawing air only with no vapor (something's messed up with coil), gurgling sound, etc.

So if no vape, what is happening?

I get a tiny tiny puff of vape if I suck my face inside out but the girl just did a normal 4 second draw. I can hear the coil fire if I hold it up to my ear. I give up I just wanted to see what all the fuss was over about carto tanks.

This is so perplexing. Could you be holding it differently and blocking the airflow?

So, a tiny puff of vape even if you're doing a hard draw. Does the draw feel tight, airy, typical? are you getting any flavor with it? Are you taking a draw like someone would suck on the straw of a thick milkshake?

lol Sorry for so many questions but this is puzzling & I like puzzles. :)

Yes I get flavor. Its a normal draw. I suck the milk shake suck and a light suck. Ask away I want a answer also

Are you taking long, slow draws? And not like puffs off a cig? I'm sure this has already been mentioned, but longer, slower draws, like, and I hate to admit this, a hookah (or something similar) produces more vapor production. Holding it into the lungs for a long time and then exhaling reduces the amount of vapor seen (but not nicotine absorption).

This really is a mystery.
