I am a fairly new vapor (7 weeks analog free) and loving it. I love vaping at 3.7 and using a Pro vape 1 with LR cartomizers bought from Provape site. Now on to my question:
I have refilled a carto around 7-8 times. My last refill i havent been getting the crackling sound. The taste even though not as intense is still flavorful and good vapor. Is this a sign that the carto is about to die? Since i havent had a cart actually die on me since i started what other signs would i look for to assume a cart has given up? On this particular cart im using a 100% VG 12mg Cafe Mocha blend which i love.

As always thanks in advance for the answers and the great people of ECF.

The filler is probably starting to swell and the coil might be getting a little gunked up. Dark juices tend to gunk up coils faster than clear juices and thick juices like your 100% VG tend to both wick slow and swell filler over time.

You could try cleaning the carto or even just over-fill it a little and blow out the excess to get some of the gunk out, but cartos are disposable. I personally don't mess around with them too much and just throw them away when their performance starts to drop.
