My manual PT kills questionable carts

[falsedichotomies]

Since there is no cutoff on my manual PT, I'll take gigantic vapes without really thinking about it while sitting and chatting away at my computer. All of a sudden, hot hot hot, and a thick cloud of smoke billows out of the mouth piece without me even applying any suction.

I've burnt out three or four re-filled carts this way.

It just goes to show more is not always better.

Slow down before you kill it!

Hehe, I never thought about it this way before.

I've never seen a cartomizer blow like you are talking about, I've only had one so far that just quit vaping, two others i've pitched because they didn't accept juice well anymore.

You have got me thinking. I really want to take a cuban cigar carto to my manual PT, and see how long it takes to fry. I've always been soo careful, and treated my cartos like gold, but
I kinda want to be really mean to one...... Too bad I love my PT so much.

Maybe I can pretend it's a smoke assassin..........


**no cartos were harmed during the making of this post!**

well, i use my pt for kinda modified dripping, and have been using the same cart for several days this way... i wish i had made a note of when i put it on, i know it's been at least 4 days tho. so i don't think the pt is necessarily a cart-killer... but it's probably a dry-cart-killer fo' sho'. the pt has no mercy.

Well, it's for sure the nitinol isn't melting. Oxidizing maybe? I'd like to see one with the outer case cut off and the batting GENTLY removed from around the dead atomizer...

I will try to get some video footage the next time that it happens to me!

I don't know about cutting off the outer-casing though... that seems a little too complicated.

Okay, I actually had some extra time on my hands just then, so just so you all could get some video confirmation of this phenomena, I grabbed a couple of carts I had refilled and did a little experiment. After taking some gigantic powerhouse vapes (10-15 sec. each) off of them for an extended period of time, this is what happened to one. I know that I hadn't vaped the cart dry, because it was still producing flavor when it first started smoking. Judging by the exterior obtrusion that formed, perhaps it could have something to do with me not properly re-aligning the center rod at the time of re-fill.

i... have no thoughts, but that's a pretty impressive mini fog machine you have there.
