yes I am sorry... you can always return the batts under the 30 day guarantee... those used to higher voltages sometimes find the VOLT only makes a good going out and discreet device.... other's love it for full time cause its easy...

I have no reason to return anything. Those .4 ohms just make a huge difference in the overall wattage of the device. I can still use the cartos, just not with your batteries.

I purchased my kit from SI because of the form factor and all of the great reviews from other experienced vapers... Which is why I was surprised when it arrived and the vapor production was not very satisfying. I was prepared for a lot less vapor than what I am used to, but not this much less.

I also wanted to be able to recommend your products to new users, but now I can only recommend your sealed auto batteries. I hope that you choose to give people the option of a lower resistance carto in the future. Otherwise, I have to tell people to order cartos elsewhere.

Thanks again for the response.

we are trying to keep the VOLT line streamlined so everything is compatible with each other...
but you never know what the future holds

I understand that but you could clarify that the SR carto is for longer overall battery life and less recharges. While the LR carto is for stronger TH and warmer vape but may negatively affect battery life requiring more charges in a shorter amount of time. Not trying to whine but I would love to see what a LR horizontal coil could do at those ohm levels.

I understand... I have hit and own a mod... it just sits there for me...just provides too much throat hit and its big... but that's me ...and there are many out there who prefer them of course...every device has it's place in the community even the emergency disposable

Uh oh... I think I'm in trouble. I JUST bought 18 different samples for him to try (they are steeping currently - I haven't dripped any of them yet). Several of them are quite dark, at least the ones I can see - the rest are in dark glass dropper bottles and I can't tell if they're dark or not. What do I do? Several of the flavors that are dark are the exact ones he WANTS to try. Wah.

Don't worry about it, I use these cartos all the time with VERY Dark and extracted juices which are typically hard on the attys/cartos and never have any probs. Worst case scenario is you draw harder when they start to get clogged (the manual batts help here, and tend to work better on the dark or extracted juices you just ordered as you can start the batt a bit before you draw), then just clean them and they're fine again (cartos, that is).

Typically I don't have to clean them for at least a month of fairly heavy use, the lighter juices I almost never have to clean, they last several months.

P.S. I DO keep the juice topped off in the cartos, usually only needs a few drops after a few hours vaping, but I keep up with it.

I hope you're done worrying, Barb. I'm such a flavor junkie (higher concentration of flavoring, not so much variety) that ALL my juices wreak a little havoc on cartos. But extra cleaning cycles (some after only 2-3 days) is the trade-off I've had to accept, because I won't have my flavors any other way. I mean, after all, it has to satisfy my crazy sweet tooth too, not just the nic addiction (which has gotten super low). I'm kinda stuck with this now, because I will never EVER go back to analogs again - they're just really nasty to me now. And I'm liking my new figure a little too much to go back to bingeing on desserts. And like others have said, dark doesn't always mean bad.

What's been working for me is sticking to at least 80% PG, and filling them the night before, condom method, dunking the threaded side in. Then I refill them every time the battery needs to be recharged. I carry 5 charged batts with filled cartos attached during the day, then take care of all the maintenance (battery recharge, carto refill) all at once before I go to bed. Easy peasy, right?

Yeah, I'm not as worried as when I posted that panicked post. LOL! When Imagine said that dark niquid didn't work, you should have seen my eyes! I've been busy agitating my little sample bottles and keeping them in a cool dark place - it's kinda like incubating bird eggs! I can't wait for my little flavor bottles to hatch! I just didn't want to let any of them go to waste. Thanks for all the encoragement and clarification, folks. Sounds like I need to be more worried with viscosity than anything else. Why do so many companies use a higher percentage of VG??

Your method (send him off with lots and charge and fill when he gets home) is basically what I've been doing. It's a bit more work than just buying filled cartos and pitching them when they're done, but he's worth it.

sorry didn't mean to scare ya...they do work they just do not work as well as lighter color thinner juices...

thinner lighter color just tend to wick better (with darker thicker they work but have to make sure they are very saturated ..condom fill and a spin ..then sit for 10-20 min) they will also prolong the life of the carto refills.

I tried the condom (or "Bootie") method a few times, but found myself mourning the 1/2 drop of liquid wasted

So many niquids are just so good I can't stand the idea of even that small amount wasted LOL!

Hi BlutO welcome our cartos were initially 2.8 ohms they are a little higher now...to work better with higher voltages as well as with the VOLT 3.6 regulated volts... they do perform best at this voltage.. 3.6-3.7 volts...

are you using VOLT batts?

So the resistance on the cartos have been changed, what are the ohms now?

I understand the waste Part LOL!

But you're doing a great job helping your hubbie , Hope he appreciates you!

As far as viscosity, and VG, think it is mainly due to the vendor making the niquid, I've had some 100% vg that was so thick it took hours to fill a carto (don't use it often, but it's great if I have a sore throat or a cold). And then there are some (Well one at least, LOL) 100% VG that I just can't believe is 100% VG as the liquid IS very liquid and the throat hit is great!

Most of the ones I get are 50/50 "due to the extraction process"

If you want, I could fill a few (new) cartos for you with a few niquids that I have (all fully steeped) so he can try those while your waiting on your little eggs , then you can just replace them at a later date with some blank cartos.

 

[Imagine]

they have been running around 3.0 ohms for some time now... volt users should not have seen any difference... the change was made to make them more compatible with other 808d-1 batts that run at 4.2 v off the charger.

So the resistance on the cartos have been changed, what are the ohms now?

When this style of cartos first came out they were lower ohms (different company), when the ohms were below 2.4 (I think)
you would get a brunt taste. They had to raise the resistance on them because of it.

lol...nope cant say that I did notice.

Good evening Volties! Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi all been awhile!!! I got my pass through today and at first I thought it was the best thing ever invented haha but now I seem to be having an issue-- I'm using it in the car with the volt car charger and it was working like a charm with my ice menthol carto but when I switched it to grape nothing happens!! I know it's not the grape carto itself because when I screw it onto my regular battery it works perfectly! What's going on??

Can it be the car charger isn't meant to power the pass through? But if that's the case why does my ice menthol work great with it ?

 

[Imagine]

lol why are these questions never easy....

to be honest I have no idea.... the only thing it could be is that carto has a defective connection so it is not making the proper contact or air flow.... or your car does not like grape


sorry about that but if you continue to have the issue just let CS know as the passthrough might have a defective connection (but since the menthol works...I would think that is not the case)

Also make sure to be careful not to tangle the cord around the wheel when you turn (been there done that lol)

the forum only allows 80 subforums at one time....have to wait for someone to be bumped

What would having a sub forum do?

 

[Imagine]

it would allow us to have multiple threads all in one place ... like a tips and tricks thread, an inventory thread, a chit chat thread etc

Btw I got two of my friends to quit analogs for Volt and a cousin to order - hasnt quit analogs but she does use the Volt on occasion

Aha!! I see, thatd be great

 

[Janie46]

I tend to like ice menthol because of the cooler vapor -- are any other flavors cooler (other than the other mint flavor)?
