Q: Janty dual coil carto/burnt taste?

[aboona777]

hi
i got the latest Janty edc cartos from Janty France.
they come in a pack of 5, but only one works fine!!!!!
seriously, 3 cartos worked greatly, and the rest give a strong burnt smell/flavor right off the bat!

anyone has any ideas?

i wanted to post this in the Janty forum, but am restricted here since am a newb!

appreciate all help

...first off, it's early Sun morn over here in the States...first question, how did you fill them and with what amount of what composition juice(PG/VG ratio)...second question, what ohm is the carto.......

I'm really new to this, just started a week ago. But I noticed that some e-juice needed to sit up to 15 minutes or so after filling my carto before it permeated through. First hit was burnt, then I let it sit and it was ok. Maybe the same thing is happening?

Dry, burnt taste means you probably don't have them full enough.

sounds liek they got dry the burnt ones are trash sorry

well then morning to u...

i filled them up the way it's described on the site, by dripping on the inside wall.
it's 1.5 ohm, and i use Janty elixir PG liquid.

the ones that worked instantly felt great, but the rest felt awful just as quick (using same amount of liquid in all cases, which is until the inside cotton piece is saturated)

I never had much luck with the drip fill method. I would try either the condom method or a syringe.

I'm new to this, but I learn pretty quickly. Here's a couple of observations.

On a 510 dual carto I think you should be using about 25 drops of juice. Not so much soaking the carto. Then let it sit a bit.

You may have dripped right into the middle and onto the coil wire and its burning off causing a burnt taste.

Maybe you got duds. You could measure resistance (ohms) of the coil on the carto if you have a voltmeter.

The only time I have ever had a burnt taste with a cartomizers is when it wasn't filled enough and the coils burn the polyfil.

I've never used their dual coil cartos although I have used their other cartos. I would open a Ticket with them. They are usually pretty fast to respond.

Most likely user error.

If you have those huge dual coils you may need to use two filling methods, one for the bottom (carto condom push or syringe down along the inside of the carto wall) and then dripping juice in to fill the top. You need to know the stated capacity of the cartomizers - if they are 3ml cartomizers then you must put in 3ml of juice. If 1ml you must put in 1ml etc.

I also recommend thin clear juices - thin to go in easily (anything around 80PG/20VG would be a good place to start) and clear so the juices doesn't drop flavoring sediments and degrade your cartomizer too quickly.

You fill fully and TO STATED CAPACITY (block the bottom hole with carto spike or finger+tissue)
Then clean it up
Then settle it - I lay a carto on different sides and on both ends over 15-20 minutes with 1ml cartos and 80PG/20Vg juice

Then vape it and keep it damp.

And BTW what ohms are your dual coil and what ecig are you using it on? Slim ecigs should only use single coil 2.5 to 3 ohms.

...the website says they hold 2.5 to 3.0 ml of juice...holding this much juice, you should probably use a syringe for a first fill...OR, with most juice bottles, it take 20-30 drops to equal 1ml so, I would say you need to drip 75-90+- drops to properly fill these cartos...the top of the filler should look "slushy" wet when properly filled...improper filling is the NUMBER ONE cause of problems similar to yours.........
