I have a smoke tip battery and I ordered cartomizers from vapor 4 life 2 boxes Vanilla and the premium vanilla they sent me two extra samples with order. I charged the batteries up took one premium vanilla and put it on nothing happened so I tried another one nothong happened so I changed to the other battery and nothing happened. I then opened reg vanilla and nothing happened Iswaped battery again nothing happened I took a second cartomizer out and it sort of worked but it poped and quit working after 10 draws flavor seemed to be good. Do I have a bad connection or bad cartomizers or batteries I tried recharging but it showed the batteries where charged or a miss match between batteries and cartomizers? Thanks for any help.

thats weird, have you tried any of your other atomizers or carto's that you already had? I find it hard to believe that everyone of the carto's you got are DOA. I would try using another atty or carto that you have been using and make sure the batteries didn't crap out on you. Also, I have noticed if you don't tighten a carto enough it doesn't make contact with the battery.

good luck hope you get it figured out.

Did you charge those new batteries for 8 hours or more on the first charge?

You may have to adjust them a little bit to get them to fit better, someone else may be able to tell u more about that better, or check the vapor4life forum, they have a thread on making adjustment like that. I have noticed some of my vapor4life wouldn't work on one battery but instead of trying to adjust it I usually just keep trying batteries until it works on one. If you mean VAPOR4LIFE not flavor4life those are kr808 cartos and smoketips are kr808 batteries so should be compatible.

Also, do you know how to properly inhale? You should do a long, slow, not hard, inhale, into your mouth, then inhale into lungs. Like slurping a milkshake, you get some in your mouth, then swallow. When I first start a carto I warm up the atomizer by taking a 3 second puff then a longer one after that. I do that 2 or 3 times.

Does the cartomizer look like it's completely screwed into the battery? I purchased some V4L cartomizers for my Mom's smoke tip (forget which ones) and they didn't fit completely. I read through the reviews and somone mentioned filing the cartomizer down a bit. I thought this was an old issue though and it was resolved.

If they fit completely, they could be DOA cartos if your batteries are OK. How does it work with a Smoke Tip carto?

You can try lifting the center post of the cartomizer (the round circle in the threaded end of the cartomizer) very slightly (but do not poke anything into the hole). That can help make contact on a non-standard battery. Use an unbent paper clip and just lean it against the threaded end of the carto and scrape the end of the paper clip up the side of the center post to life it a bit on each side. Then try screwing it on the Smoketip.

I would have expected them to just fit a Smoketip. The Vapor4Life cartos fit the SmokelessImage Volt style of KR808D-1 as well as the standard manufacturer KR808D-1 and Vapor4Life model and also work on many 901/KR808D-1 threaded big battery models
