Hi guys

Been vaping for 6 days now and its great.
Just recieved a brand new Smoktech Vmax with two cartomizers.
Looks great BUT i cant get it to work.
Filled the tank, primed the carto but only get a very burnt taste.
Whats the problem?

Cartos have to be saturated to vape properly. The coil is at the bottom threaded end of the carto. If you only fill from the top, it takes time for the juice to soak to the bottom and you will get burned taste. That can ruin a carto.

Use a blunt needle syringe that you can get at the Pharmacy to fill the carto. Fill the syringe with juice and insert the needle between the barrel and the polyfill filler. Push it to the bottom and draw it back as you fill slowly. Repeat on all sides until the top looks slushy.

You can also use the condom fill method with the long end cap that comes on the carto. Fill the cap about 3/4 full of juice and slowly insert the carto, threaded end down, into the cap. Let it sit for 30 minutes or so until all the juice is absorbed.

Hi Katrine and welcome to the forum.

I hope the suggestions above help. Once a carto is burnt there is no coming back to good taste. Try a new one and give lots of time to let everything get saturated.

Also, start at the lowest setting for the VMax! They pack a lot of Power!

Relax, Enjoy!

Thank you , DaveP.

I guess i didnt fill it enough tho i thought i did.

Looking forward to be on this forum since i find this new "hobby" a little difficult with all the different systems.
