One day max with carto tank?

[liveone]

I'm using a 3ml phiniac with standard 3ohm boge carto and Vanilla Bourbon Bean from Highbrow 12mg pg/vg Mix. All on a provari at 4.8V.

I've tried 1 hole to 4 large holes and even tried adding a small vent hole on top. For a full day or about 5ml juice, it vapes like a dream. Snap crackle pop and tons of flavor. I've even incorporated sliding the carto down every half tank to relieve air pressure and allow the juice to flow better which seems to help. However, sometime into the 2nd day, I will get a burnt taste which of course will only get worse. Am I doomed to getting only a day out of a carto/tank with this juice?

After going through a couple dozen cartos, I'm not sure what to try next. Perhaps topping off the tank more often? It seems a lot of big holes seem to keep the filler wetter. After watching a video of dremel slotting (which seem like huge gashes to me), I've tried 4 large holes and it has never flooded. Could the carto be burning at midpoint or higher? Maybe I should try a 3 holes at the bottom, middle, and top of the carto.

Any tips or suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

It's probably not the filler that is burning, it's more likely the juice itself. Some juices with a higher sugar content, like fruits, will burn faster than others. Darker juices also have a tendency to clog and burn faster than others. I've never had vanilla bourbon bean, but if it's a sweeter juice that's probably what's happening. You could try lowering the voltage to see if will last a bit longer, that is if you still enjoy the flavor at a lower voltage.

I very much appreciate your input!

I think you're definitely onto something. I've lowered the voltage on my io6 atty for dripping with fantastic results. I think I've been burning juice overall. I've tried lowering the voltage on the carto/tank I spoke of from 4.8 down to 4.2 and I'll see how it goes in a couple days. I notice a reduction in flavor and vapor, but the wife thinks it's fine so I might have a working solution. Let's see how long the current carto lasts.
