[Downer]

Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Sorry Downer, I didn't know that was you buddy. I was trying to put a face to the voice, but couldn't.
MAP told me he would have the SS tanks ready by next week, so keep your fingers crossed my friend!
Jason

[IOU]

You are not bald buddy!

Good morning Nate!
I'm hoping your mom won't be in too much pain and heals quickly bud!
J.

Thanks J, yeah she is coping better this time then she did last time, which is odd considering she had three tendons repaired this time and only one last time. Oh well, I certainly won't look a gift horse in the mouth

Thanks buddy.
I'm glad you got some decent rest last night buddy.
J.

Me too, it was much needed, I was mentally exhausted more-so than physically but crashing hard seems to have done me some good

Well now when you hear my voice you can picture a bald lil asian dude

LOL That is Tooo funny Bro Hope you are having an awesome day Downer

Got a gift a friend bought me in the mail today, gaming earbuds with mic but my dct was acting up today. The juice wouldn't go in the carto and and kept sucking the juice back out into the tank if i tried to suck it in.. was weird. Gonna replace the O-rings after this tank is done. Ended up burning two of my carto's though cause i kept thinking the juice was going in when it wasn't

Jason, well i only have peach fuzz so i'm kinda bald

 

[IOU]

Hey Nate, glad to hear your mom is doing better this time bud!
Glad you got some rest too buddy!
J.

 

[IOU]

Hey Downer, if it's any consolation, I got your cartos off to you already, so you should have them by tomorrow!
Are you topping off the cartos before firing them the first time? I like to put in a new carto, fill the tank and then I top off the carto with about 15 drops of liquid before putting on the drip tip.
Then let the tank sit for a few minutes to make sure the carto soaks up enough liquid from the tank, and vape.
You shouldn't be burning cartos if you do it this way.

Holy crud i'm still awake. Ended up taking a nap earlier and now i can't sleep but yea Jason i was topping it off like you said or at least tried... i should've suspected something was wrong when the liquid wasn't going to the bottom. I filled the tank then started to top it off but i could only get like 3 or 4 drops and the liquid wouldn't go down. Had to be some weird pressure problem.

I've had pressure problems cause my tank to flood for a lil while and then get better but i've never had it keep liquid out and keep liquid i drip in on top. Was the weirdest thing.

And thanks for the quick shipping but i'm hoping it wasn't necessary, this carto i got in better keep working

 

[IOU]

Good morning Downer,
Hope your tank is performing. I haven't heard, or seen this problem before. If you continue to have any problems, it may be time to make a trip down to E-Cig City and I will check it out for you bud.

Good Morning All YAY!!! Get to have Moms bandages changed today

Yes Snoopy, Y know all them folks that Grimm Green Showcased at Vaporcon??? Usually quite a few of them come to the Vape Meets Here, Hoping for Penn and Sandy from Pink Spot, Adam, Perhaps VIP Vapors too It is always a blast!

Wow Downer, sounds like you got a Vapor Lock issue, where the vacuum overpowers the external pressure and things flow inward because the external pressure being high as well as the vacuum inside being very strong makes everything sort of "Suck" Into the tank rather than having a good balance of pressures.


Off to shower and get ready to go, Have an Awesome Day everyone

Another reason to convince my friend to travel to the meeting since he's been having similar problems but a lot more then me.. this was the first time for me but happens to him on and off.

Not like you could do much though... at least for me it's not a constant problem so don't know when it might happen. Plus i changed O-rings so im hoping that solved it.

I do have the Locking thing once in a while but goes away when i change O-rings. But this time it's an Unlocking Issue? The pressure is reversed and is keeping the liquid out of the carto and any liquid i drip in to stay on top isntead of soaking inside. Well it went away now but yea.. was the weirdest thing.. didn't think something like that could happen. Guessing changing O-rings fixes unlocking issues too.

Good Morning Nate,
The best of luck to you and Mom today bud!

That's some fast shipping Jason. I just got the mail

Thanks for the drip tip.. yellow drip tip make a nice spare

So have you figured out what kind of holes work best for the dct? I'm guessing you've been trying new ways to punch. The holes seem small and nice the way i want em but my friend got cut ones on his last order so i'm guessing your experimenting

Now if only you sold TVR's Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble i'd get everything from your store. Like the pinkspot flavours but tvr is cheaper and gives more vapor, at least that's my experience so far.

 

[IOU]

Oh, thank you Downer and you are very welcome my friend!
Yeah, I have been punching cartos lately. Grinding them and punching with a Stanley is what I have been doing, but the variation is a little hit and miss on placement and hole size, so I have started punching them with two small holes.
I have tried the new tanks from SmokTech and they are using special cartos that are prepunched with only one very (VERY) small hole and they seem to work well, so I figured I would start making the holes pretty small.
Be sure and let me know if you have any problems with them at all bud,
J.

Oh are the tanks good? I'm thinking of ordering one just to try it since the price is reasonable. Although it doesn't seem built to last since the ends look to be made rubber or something. Would hate to have to keep buying new smoktech tanks (STTs?) when the ends deteriorate. I prefer calling MAPs stuff DCTs, the others should use different names.

Saw a picture too.. those holes are tiny looking.. like pinholes.
