I have 3 carto tanks and every carto I put in my agr either has a steady drip out the bottom or is imposible to get a decent vape off cause it's seems clogged. I've wasted a lot juice messing with this tank and only one carto out of 6-7 worked all the others I've put in have been a bust. Am I over priming? I usually drip in the fiber till it comes out the punched hole. My other two tanks work just fine its only the agr. I apologize because im sure there's been 1000 threads on this already. Anybody got a remedy? I hate seeing this tank just sit. Thanks in advance.

Are you filling each tank the exact same way? The reason I ask about how you fill the tank is that some people remove the end cap to do it. Then when they replace the cap they flood the carto. Are all the juices the same pg/vg? Same hole configuration? Same brand cartos? Volume Control just posted a video (bottom of the page) on how he primes his cartos and it's simple and fast. His way leaves little room for flooding.

edit: just saw VangOgh's post. Sounds like he's on the right track. I didn't know it had a side hole. My fault for not researching first.

Ive tried a few ways I seen online on priming before I put carto in tank and have had issues

the owner of vapor beast where I bought my 1st tank sent me this video worked well

How to prime and fill a DCT (dual coil Cartomizer tank) - YouTube

I have more confidence doing it this way

If I over prime no problem just a light blow through drip tip and tank until I can see down the hole then all is good

Prime the carto until it drips out the bottom. Then, before putting the carto in the tank blow on it real hard a few times. After that inhale on the carto a few times and see if there's any airway trouble or gurgling. If all is good THEN put the carto into the tank and fill the tank. If you just prime the carto and stick it in the tank right afterward you're going to have problems more often than not.
