Mt. Baker Vapor won't vape

[patkin]

Well, put yourself in MBV's shoes with all the competition. Edit your OP... some don't read on in the thread.

Also, I don't buy from vendors who don't give full descriptions. Some don't even tell you what size bottle you're looking at let alone what's in it... same with hardware.. buying an atty, I better see the top-down inside picture or I don't buy... got burned too many times... and is that ego an upgrade? could be but you just lost a sale... geez... I don't trust vendors like that. They're either too busy with other stuff to take the time for good descriptions and pictures or they could care less... either way makes me nervous about ordering from them.

Try blowing out your carto first from mouth to thread and then the other way... check to see if you can see light through the air hole.

I should have suggested what Rocketpunk said! Maybe that's it, you have too much juice in your cart's. That'll do it every time!

Excellent post, Rocket. Thanks. I'm going to try this when I get home. I used the condom method when I filled them, but I may have overdone it.

Typically you can hold a carto up to the light and see through the airhole if it's flooded or not. It's a little harder with a Volt cartomizer, though. All I ever see are the coils. So while that's good advice, don't be upset if you can't see "light" through the airhole in a Volt carto.

IMO i highly doubt the problem here has anything to do with the juice. its most likely a harware problem. just make sure the batt is fully charged and that the carto is properly filled.

Please identify if your cartomizers are flooded or not. They will sound and draw differently if you have too much liquid in them.

If this isn't the case, you got some messed up juice or the coil is clogged. There are methods for cleaning cartos; I used to boil, flush, then bake mine.

I tried some of the things suggested ITT (blowing out the juice, checking for air holes, etc.) and they resulted in an improvement, but it's still no a satisfying vape. I'm currently soaking all of my carts on vodka. Once that's done and I dry them, I'll refill and see if it's any better.

Its important to properly match your volts with your ohms. General rule of thumb is that the volts should be double the ohms, +/- .2. So if you're running 3.7 volts, 1.8 ohm cartos/heads/whatever would be fine, but 2.0 and 2.4 might not produce the best vape. This is why I use a VV (variable voltage) battery, so I can simply turn it up or down depending on the head/carto/tank I'm using. If your battery has a "locked in" voltage, its important to buy the correct heads for it. This sounds like your problem imo.

And I agree that you should change the title of your thread. "Juice won't vape correctly" would be a better title. I'm almost certain this has nothing to do with MBV.

I didn't post that. It was somebody else who mistakenly mentioned MBV, then corrected themselves.

Nothing bad is being said about MBV. I'm sure it's great juice from all I've read on this forum. I was just wondering about its compatibility with my Volt device. If there's either a mismatch or I'm doing something wrong. I think the information here could help others who might have the same problem.

No... you titled the thread... "Mt. Baker Vapor won't vape." You could change that statement if you wanted to.... Like: "My juice won't vape"... you chose to single out a vendor. Depending, some won't even open the thread reading that. Some will come in loaded for bear and others... well. This is as much a social group as it is a learning one... just sayin.... there is a thing called "etiquette" ... just not cool.

You're being too literal. If the title had been, "Honda Civic won't start" I don't think people would assume that all Honda Civic's don't start. Just mine.

 

[John Alexander]

I don't think I can change my own title anyway. Or at least I don't know how. If a mod wants to change it, please do. Better yet, delete the thread. It's not worth the hate for an innocent post looking for information.

No worries, John Alexander. Sometimes vendor fans can be a little overzealous, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, either. Vendors rely a lot on their fans for business.

Anybody coming into this thread "loaded for bear" and replies without reading will end up looking pretty silly. Anybody who's read this thread understands where you're coming from.

I'm mostly concerned about your Volt! I wish I could be there in person to see what's up and offer suggestions. If your Volt cartos aren't over-saturated, and your battery is fully charged, I really can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be working. Not to "blow smoke in your face", but I'm sitting here right now vaping mine and it's still a lil' champ.

Keep us updated, I'm very interested in how this all works out for you.

Thanks for the post. For the record, I just tried a different flavor from MBV and not only does it provide great vape but it's delicious. Maybe that one flavor is too thick for my cartos or maybe I just did something wrong. Or it's plugged, flooded, etc. Vape on!

John, did that putt drop?
