Yes there will be a small gap, that's what lets the air in when you take a drag.

No, not supposed to be a gap. Your carts should have 2 flat and two rounded sides...the flat side fits lengthwise over the bridge in the atty. Sometimes when a cart hits the bridge it will stick, turn the cart until it fits in correctly. Also, manufacturing differences occur that sometime cause a difference between the atty and cart, they may just be a really tight fit. I have found that my LR attys are just a little bit bigger than my regular ones and they have a tendency to not fit well. With my regular attys, they fit in with a slight "poppiing" noise. Not that I use them anymore since going to the e2 lol.

Also, the air is drawn through the bottom of the atomizer through 2 tiny holes... not through a gap between the atty and cart, the cart needs to be fully inserted so the filler can contact the bridge and wick the liquid.

Carts aren't universal size, you may have one intended for a different PV. The cart filler needs to make contact with the atty so the juice gets to the atty. You can pull the stuffing out and drip a few drops directly on the atomizer if for some reason the cart isn't fitting. You can do that with the stuffing in, too. The atty just needs to stay wet for the device to make vapor.

If you have an auto battery, do primer puffs to preheat the atty. If it's a manual battery, then hold the button for a second. Then for the drag take long slow drags.

I'd also suggest dripping over carts, but that's just a personal preference.

I got attys that are doing the same thing. I have to cover at least one side (where there is a hole) to get vapor.

I have tons of 510 stuff since that is all I use. I have never had that issue. I run into the issue of my carts being too loose. I end up taking a soldering tip to the sides (lightly) to create a groove that makes them tighter. If you don't have carts that fit right PM me and I will send you a couple to try out and see if they are any better.
