My order from litecig of a manual Kr8 passthrough and 5 blank cartomizers (2 ohms) just arrived today and I have been experiencing some odd behavior that I'm not sure if it is my fault or if something is defective.
The problem is that only 2 of the 5 cartomizers work at all with the passthrough. At first I thought that I had flooded the 3rd, but when testing out the 4th and the 5th, I used fewer and fewer drops (down to 5 drops at the battery end). Nothing at all, no warm, no sizzle, just kaput.
As for the first 2 that I have, one seems to be working fairly well, even with VG in it, but the other has only PG in it and does not work very well at all any more. At first it was big clouds of vapor, no problems, so I set it aside and decided to try out another cart with a nice cappuccino mix. As I said earlier, that one seems to be completely dead (even letting it sit for 5 hours now. But when I went back to my splendid PG filled cart, it only worked intermittently. Now, no matter how long I hold the button, it only produces vapor for about 2-3 seconds. Then, if I take a drag shortly there after, I only get maybe 1 second and so on until it no longer produces any vapor at all. But, if I let it sit for a minute or so, it goes right back to the 2-3 second production.
I became so frustrated with losing about 1 ml of my new mix to the third cart and with the strange performance of this one that I decided to try holding down the button for about 30 seconds (knowing that I might burn out the cart). Strangely, it will work and then cut out, then after a few seconds it will work again, then cut off and so forth.
Does this reflect an improper filling method, or simply a bad batch of cartomizers, or is it the passthrough that is mucking it all up? (or is this normal behavior?)
