IKENVAPE carto's question... PLEASE HELP!!

[Marvin & Sennie]

I was FINALLY able to purchase some Ikenvape carto's. the 510 mega platinum punch SR. I was in MS when they came and just got home today. I spent 2 weeks excited that they would be here waiting for me except WTH is going on with these things? Within no time the juice taste burnt or no taste at all. Am I supposed to use it differently than I do the smoktech ones? These are wayyyy too expensive for me to be messing them up!! PLEASE HELP!!
PS I vape on the Zmax at usually 4.0 ohm

How do you prime them ?

This method of priming them works very well for me http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/the-ocelot/3998-ocelot-method-carto-filling-k-backwards-condom.html

It is absolutely critical to get the filler material 100% saturated before first firing them or they are doomed. Also read someone with a similar problem took a needle and poked it through the punched holes to help juice feed in. If nothing else works I would send it back to ikenvape so he can look at it. These are great cartos but from what I have read from time to time you may experience a bad one. I have not yet and currently have over 50 ml of juice on same carto and its still going strong. Good luck to you

The filler in Iken cartos is much more dense than other brands. On the first fill of a new Iken carto, much patience is required on the fill, and on the soak. The method above is a good one. I personally use a syringe to prime Iken cartos. And give it a good 30 minute soak.

They can be difficult to prime. I use the drip method as i have found that the condom fill method tends to flood these cartos. Ikenvapes are the best carto money can buy IMO. If you prime it well, it will perform well
