Sorry, I skimmed the first post as I was on my phone at the time. Drip tips can cause a horrible flavor, at least the cheap rubber ones can (which I discovered recently and was quite surprised by), but loss of vapor is because you didn't fill the carto properly.

It's odd though, because I've never had the cartos in my tanks be underfilled when put into the tank. If anything, they tented toward flooding. due to the pressure from screwing in the screw or inserting the second set of o-rings. Granted, this was only using mostly-PG juices. people with high VG juices should probably slot or repunch their cartomizers, like the 70:30 mix that pinkspot apparently offers.

Thank you I still have to try and figure it out but even if I used a plastic drip tip then took everything off and put a new tank,carto and drip tip and new juice everything should of been fine then right? The plastic drip tip couldnt effect the actual provari right? I found a real good e cig shop 30 min away from me Im going there tomorrow and the people on here that have been there says the guy is very knowlegable (sorry for the spelling) so Im hoping he can help me. If not I already sent provape a email asking to send it back to be tested so that will be my last resort to send it back for a make over I dont mind paying them for it so far Iam very happy with there service

I found a ecig store near me about 30 min away and some of the people on hear said he knows alot about e cigs so Im going there tomorrow to see if he can help me out I would of went today but I cant drive legally because of my eyesite due to a brain tumor I had removed years ago so I had to set up a ride for tomorrow. He sells cartos and ejuice and alot of other stuff so I'll try the condom trick there to. If everuthing doesnt work, provape said they would like me to send it in to be checked they have been really good with there service. Im very anxious to get this behind me

And if you can't get this top feeding thing to work for ya ...don't worry.. you've got 4 vv REO woodvils coming LOL

But seriously... once you get a carto properly filled, I think you will be happy. And if for some reason it's your provari, provape will make it right. No worries :D

Yea I just got back fromVAPORPHOXXE in warminister PA and the owner of the place gave me some tips and now my provari is fine :) One of the many problems I was having was the pinkspot e juice was to thick for a tank/carto it wasnt filling properly so the one lady there took my juice and mixed it to make it thiner and it worked fine she was really nice they did that for me for free I also bought some stuff there, they defintly have my buisness they are all good people there

Glad to hear that you got things worked out Trapper1. From what I've read so far it seems that it was the dry cartos (not filled enough) that was the problem. One last thing to let you know is that once any carto has been burnt like that and has any burnt flavor, it's no longer any good. No matter what you do, you'll never be able to get that burnt taste out of them, so might as well trash them.

After seeing that condom filling method I really wish I wouldn't have bought flanged cartos... :unsure:

yea... I dripped and syringe filled for a loooong time, I had always heard of the condom method but it sounded kinda messy.. but after watching pbusardo do it.. it's not messy at all and it a whole lot faster. For me it really makes all the difference in getting a good first fill. Plus there's no waiting around for the juice to soak in.
