I have a kgo 1100 mha battery along with smoketek tank.

Today I recieved 2 - 5 packs of cartos from vaporgod and im having a weird problem and I am hoping someone can help me out. It seems like the air hole at the bottom of the carto's is to close to the threading. When I screw in the carto/tank into the battery I cannot get any air through it. If I start unscrewing the carto/tank a little at a time it eventually works but its never gets a good connection to the battery and wobbles because its so loose.

Does anyone have a solution or ever encountered a problem like this? I compared the other 9 cartos I got and they all seem like they have the air hole in the same place. I assume that no air is passing through the carto because its screwed down into the battery to far and not letting any air pass through.

I assume I filled the carto right, but could it be flooded? I would think if its flooded you would still be able to suck air through it, no?

    You can try pulling the post up a little bit on the battery w/ a paperclip. You can use a pin in the thread holes on the carto to wedge the center part up. I never screw my stuff together more than just past engagement. Including the charger.

    What kind of cartos? Flooding can leave alot of juice on the center post of the battery negating contact.

    Only thing I can suggest, and I've used them many times for airflow, is to get yourself a couple 510/510 shorty extensions. They can be purchased at madvapes, carolinavapes, and goodprophets (cheapest I think but price check around). If the extension doesn't fix the problem, I would venture to say that the manufacturer sent out a bad batch.

    This worked, thank you.
