...the liguid is not vaping when i draw on the mouth piece,only when i drip a couple of drops on the atty , it vapes...

If you're getting vapor by dripping, then the atty and every other link in the chain must be ok--except the cart. Have you tried pulling out the filler and replacing it? Do you have the cart inserted all the way in, with the filler in contact with the atty bridge? Have you considered switching to dripping anyway?

+1 on the filler, my general suggestion is, you should go to youtube and look up the "tea bag mod" if you're going to continue to use a cartridge. This may not initially fix your issue, though it sounds like your filler might be swamped or something, but it's good information to know either way.

I'd been wondering about that tea bag mod thing myself, so I took a look: YouTube - Shredded Pyramid tea bag mod

I'll preface this by admitting freely to the fact that I'm a lazy SOB, but that looks like a lot of trouble to me. When I was using carts, I bought these pre-cut, tweezer ready, very cheap pieces of blue foam from Strictly E-juice: https://strictlyejuice.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67_49&products_id=222

But even that was too much trouble for me, so I got myself one of these:

The deal with these is that you can do the dripping you're doing now anyway, you just won't have to remove the tip. If nothing else, that gives you something to occupy yourself while waiting for the light to change.

I would agree with the PTB mod, it works amazing!
but i would also try cleaning the atty as well.
I would get some rubbing alcohol and soak the atty in a cup of it for about 2 hours
and than rinse it off under warm water and than blow it out and than let it dry.
Just remember once you've cleaned it to drop about 3 drops on your atty so you dont fry it!
Happy vaping!!!

Is the mouthpiece on when it's making vapor? May sound like a dumb question, but if you have a manual it's not so dumb to ask. Just trying to narrow it down.

Try pulling out the filler and pushing it back in till its even with the top of the cart. Top it off with a couple drops until its mushy looking, and try again. You may need to prime the atty with a drop or two though. I don't see how it wouldn't work if the atty is firing. I agree the mods are better than poly but it should still work.
