Okay V4L... What did you do to my CoolCarts?

[Natalia]

My newest order of CoolCarts are wider at the bottom and barely fit through the cone on my eGo, and will not screw onto my adapters. It appears the bottom is wider?

I know I'm supposed to use them on my V4L batts and I do, but I also love them on my eGo's with an adjustable 510-808 adapter that gives me great airflow.

They've always worked before, but now they won't thread unless I adjust the adapter all the way down which really restricts the airflow making for tight draw

Edit: Maybe their not wider? Maybe the post sticks down further... I can't tell.

 

[Mookelboo]

I don't have an eGo so, not sure the set-up, have you tried to adjust the post?

 

[Natalia]

I know how to pull the post on the carto down a tiny bit, but I think it needs to go up?

I wish I was mechanically inclined so I could figure out what's different.
N. <----feeling really dumb

 

[Mookelboo]

If it makes you feel better, I'm not mechanical either. I do believe though that (within certain tolerances) the post can be turned up or down... but, you may possibly hose the carto... I'm hoping someone much more cleverer than I chimes in for you soon.

Ms. Natalia what kind of adapter are you using? Cool carts have a bad habit of at times not fitting on the regular autos without a little filing... You could try that, or as Ms. Mookelboo suggested bringing up the post... Doesn't work on all adapters... The one I got for when I was testing kr808 cartos on an ego didn't have that ability... Was able to file it slightly though with a nail file to get it to go on correctly...

Well......here's my ignoramic take on this. I have cool carts, wow carts, and premium carts. I also have a few other KR808 batteries (before I discovered V4L--calm down folks.) Some of the cool cartos fit, some don't. some of the WOW cartos fit, some don't, some of the premium carts fit, some don't. It is my belief that we get what we get--sometimes there is just a teeny tiny (scientific term) bit of difference in the threading. Doesn't appear to be an exact science in the gauging of any of these batteries and cartos.

I had to sandpaper my adapter so the coolcarts would screw on properly.I just swirled it with the sandpaper.Worked great.

My most recent box of black coolcart blanks was also bigger than normal. They fit just fine on my older batts, but they just spin around and never tighten down on both of my shorty diamond series batts. (But they fit fine on my newer series stealth XL)

That is exactly what mine are doing! Thanks for posting.

You just need to lightly sand down the adapter a bit Ms. Natalia. Once you've done that, they'll fit perfectly.

I'm using a 510-808 adapter. It has the same center that the cartos have, but can be turned to the left to increase airflow, or to the right to restrict it. My carto threads don't catch, the carto just spins. It seems like the post of the carto needs to be higher (into the carto). Either that, or the threaded part of the cartos are spread wider than the older ones I have.

What flavor and mg are they?

 

[Luma]

Mine too. Ordered blanks. They wouldnt screw tight. They would just keep going around and around. I am also getting 50% less vapor on half the ones I received.

Hoping this is not a replacement for what we had 4 months ago!

 

[Natalia]

What flavor and mg are they?

RY4 18mg, Cognac 11 mg, and 4 packs of blanks.

 

[keyzygirl]

This sounds like a problem,I hope the guys chime in and explain it to us,or offer an exchange or something.

 

[SnowDragon]

me too....this is a new problem I have never heard of or experienced.

 

[dohsma]

I use CoolCarts just about exclusively, and I have not run into this issue. We have not changed manufacturers on them or anything like that. Natalia, did you by any chance put a support ticket in?

Hi Mark. I appreciate the response

No, I didn't put in a support ticket because I can use them with some of my V4L 808's, so they will get used. I'm just afraid to buy any more and was hoping someone knew a fix.

If I do buy more and they are the same, will V4L exchange them even though they work with some, but not all 808's?

 

[Gravity]

I didn't bother to put in a support ticket for mine, either... I figured it was just a fluke and because they worked on some of my batts, it's not that big of a deal.

 

[Natalia]

I fixed 'em! YMMV, but I took a small screwdriver, not eyeglass small, just a small standard screwdriver. I stood the carto thread side up, put the screwdriver on the post and tapped the top of the screwdriver with a small hammer lightly a few times. It drove the post into the carto a bit... enough to allow the threads to catch. Now the cartos screw on all batteries and adapters!

I metered the cartos to be sure there was no change to the ohms before and after, and they didn't change. The ones I've filled work perfectly, just like my older CoolCarts!
