I got my menthol juices in! just having a blast mixing and trying different juices. I got my new spare kr808 battery in and I'm waiting for the replacement for the battery I got from V2 in my "starter kit"
That battery keeps goin down and I been recharging it every couple of hours. Whats weird is that the new battery comes in, I charge it up and try it out, it seems to be like I'm sucking on an empty straw, the old one feels as if it has a draw to it (this make sense?) it doesn't matter which cart I have on the battery, I change carts it still comes down to the battery not the cart. Any ideas would be appreciated if I need to clarify more let me know WOW I'm vaped out, whee:p! I also tried cleaning my used carts with the Isopropyl alcohol method, make sure you let the carts dry out overnight! The taste of Iso and juice sucks, yuck.:blink:

iso is poison so let it dry.

I don't understand about the battery. How easy the draw is has to do with the air flow between the carto and the battery and with how well the carto is vaporizing. All I do know is there are other people who have received defective batteries when exchanging V2 batteries. I think maybe they send out other peoples' returns. Check and make sure the charger is clean and the end of the battery is clean. And for future purchases, buy manual batteries. Refilling cartos and auto batteries just don;t mix particularly well. The place where a carto will leak is right above the place where you can screw up an auto battery, from making the drag sensor sticky or slow to outright killing the battery.

OK Thanks Dormouse, I kind of agree with you on the sending out of other returns :) I called them and asked when the replacement they owe me is going to get here and this guy gives me, Oh thats another dept "the returns dept" and we don't know when they are going to send your replacement. All I know is that this is the last order from them. I think I have found better peeps to deal with. I know any new batts will be manual and not automatic!

Get a manual KR808D-1 battery ($10 at LiteCigUSA.net) and while you are there get a DSE901 drip tip and a standard resistance (not LR) DSE90 atomizer. With that combination - manual battery, atomizer, drip tip, you can test juices. You could also get some DSE901 carts for extended tests of juices.

Cartos are hard to clean and especially dry properly and a cleaned one may never work as well as it did when new. Some people have a way of baking them at super low temp (under 200) in the oven, standing on end, to dry them. But I don't count on being able to clean them. I never use cartos for testing juices. I use dripping to screen them, sometimes a cart for ones I am unsure about or only want to vape occasionally. The best juices earn a carto. And I will refill the carto until it doesn't work well and then put it in bag to maybe try cleaning some day.
