Hey, Tim, these ST-NM-DCT-2-A-SCTCs :)unsure:) are perfect for diabetics. I know; I are one.

I've had several of these I got about a month ago from another source. In my experience they have great flavor, but the draw is INCREDIBLY tight, probably more than any other carto I've used. The vapor production is minuscule, which I assume is related. I'm wondering if there have been any updates on these or if I may have just gotten some bad ones. How would you all describe the draw and vapor production on this batch from Gotvapes so far?

Nickel mesh? Why nickel? Some people have nickel allergies, wonder if this could become an issue.

Some people are sensitive to PG, so they avoid it, others are sensitive to other thing and do the same thing. If a person has a nickel allergy, then I'd assume they wouldn't purchase this or any other product that may cause them to have an issue... I see no reason to look for the dark side of things

I find the draw and the vapor quite good . I am one that does speak they mind when something does not work like I think it should .I have tested cartomizers for years so I do know what I am talking about when I say that these are outstanding .I hope that you will give these a try maybe you did get some bad ones.or they have been improved since you got yours.

I think I'll add to the list of other possibilities...

The Provari ( as one example only ) has a flush mounted 510 connector which causes many carto/tanks etc to not get any draw or have a very tight draw. The fault may not lie with either but the combination. A 510 extension should resolve this type of issue IF it is the cause.

GotVapes has the good habit of waiting for the next release ( when they know of one coming out ) of a new product just in case issues were found that are already being addressed by the factory. The Kanger ProTank is a great example of this where there were leaking issues found in the first run and GV waited until a fix had already been made to place their own order.

Lastly, at least for now, fakes and clones abound out there. GotVapes takes great strides to make certain they aren't getting these without full knowledge of them.. ie, some clones are good, others not so much ... but a fake is always a fake and can't be trusted to work like the original. If you don't believe this happens all that often, then you aren't familiar with situations like those seen with Stardusts as just one of many examples.

Ayup, the NM DCT-2 in a UDCT on my ProVari: Zero draw.

Just fine on all of the other PVs I've tried it on.

as mentioned by the great guys above, certain products will have no draw on certain batt mods, provari being one of them, you can use a 510 to 510 for that. These are the latest updated versions, we dont say that with our products lightly, if we say its updated then trust in us that it is or simply call the factory we made the claim about.

The initial batch actually did have a tight draw, this was way over a month ago, others who tested it and us informed smoktech and they made minor improvements towards wicking and draw and when those were tested we brought them aboard. so ours should have a good draw which has been mentioned by the posters above but its always a possibility that certain mods will restrict airflow because of how they attach to the mod and seal up any chance for airflow to work.

Thanks Bad and others for the feedback. The tight draw on mine is definitely a function of the carto itself since it is tight compared to anything else I have even when it's not attached to any device. Knowing mine were older and being aware of situations where Gotvapes has waited for revisions is what prompted me to ask. I didnt want to judge the current release based on mine, which may not be the same quality and Bad your reply would seem to confirm this. I'm glad they have made improvements and will definetely be getting some from Gotvapes to try out based on all the positive feedback so far.

Emphasis on "great", thank you. :closedeyes:

The Tank Air Flow Controller for 510 by SMOKtech is a great solution for that. Looks perfect on a ProVari.



How do these compare to the Raven cartos? I know taste is subjective but i'm talking more along the lines of draw, temp/warmth, vapor density (full body, airy, etc. whatever you want to call it).
So far, I'd say warmer and less airy/tighter draw (not tight draw, but tighter than Raven).
