I hate to bother you veterans but I'm at a loss here. I have a Provari Mini w/extended cap and an 18490 battery. I'm using a Smoketech 6 mil tank with a 3.o cartomizer @ 5.7v. The juice is from a local vape store that mixes their own. The problem I'm having is keeping a carto working. They work for a day or two maybe, then they clog &/or flood. I've had this happen befor I get through a 1/4 tank. From what I've read here so far, I'm afraid it's just these cartos, but before I buy another tank like a Phiniac, I thought I would ask you.
I used the same tanks on an eGo C-Twist with a low ohm carto without too much trouble. Besides that I've only used the CE 4 on the eGo Twist. I've included a pic of what I have. Thanks in advance for your help.

A carto will flood if you have the holes punched too big. Try punching smaller holes or just 1 hole. The fast clogging is probably due to the juice you are using. If you are using a high VG juice or a juice that is real sweet it will clog your coils fast. A 1/4 tank seems a bit too fast but that's all I got. :) You might try running a needle or a straightened paper clip through the carto air hole. Sometimes the filler material will collapse and leave very little airway which would cause a very tight draw. You might have a clogged air hole rather than a gunked up coil.
