Alpha, I am using the KR808 cartys.
So, I was waiting for some new carts and liquid to do a test. Over the past 2 days I've been doing some testing. I'll sum up what I've done so far, and maybe some one will see something I am doing wrong...
I started with 3 brand new KR808 cartomizers. I shook and syringe filled each one with 1.05 ml of the Chocolate Macadamia Nut niquid. I kept them organized so I'll just call carty 1, 1.
Yesterday I used a new battery with 1 for a "session". Puffed about 30 times. The whole time the flavor was very good.
I have a bunch of batteries so I used a new battery with 2 a short while later, same thing, about 30 puffs.
Next I tried both 1 & 2 on a fresh battery. Both had decent vapor, somewhat diminished flavor, and no throat hit. So I topped them off. Both 1 & 2 took about 0.3 ml of niquid to be full to the same point between them and to when they were filled.
I then vaped 1 with a fresh battery and wouldn't ya know it, great vapor, good flavor, and the throat hit is back. So about 30 puffs later, I put it down.
On to 2, fresh battery and same results. Great vapor, good flavor, and throat hit again. Another 30 puffs and I'm off to bed.
This morning I try 1 & 2 on a fresh battery. Decent vapor, somewhat ok flavor (it always has more flavor to me first thing in the morning), and a very mild throat hit (it probably wouldn't have had any if it wasn't first thing in the morning.
Refill time again... Same as last refill. Both 1 & 2 took about 0.3 ml of niquid. Time to try them again.
And it's a no go. Both 1 & 2 on a fresh battery have good vapor, ok flavor, and no throat hit.
Now's when I used 3. I saved one just so I can compare a fresh one filled with the same liquid as went into 1 & 2 the first time. Pop on a fresh battery and it's where I want it to be; great vapor, good flavor, and throat hit. Now I think to my self, could it be the battery? So I put the battery that gave me the unsatisfactory results with 1 & 2, and it's the same as a completely fresh battery.
So where do I go from here? I'm gonna take 1 & 2 and give 1 a rinse and blow a little later today (unless someone has another idea). And I'll give 2 a diet coke bath for a little while, and rinse and blow.
But judging by what's happened in the past, I have a feeling that 1 & 2 will never have the flavor and throat hit it should have; even being a used disposable, and only having had used 0.6 ml of niquid, no chance of having been burnt or anything else. That's less than 2/3 of the liquid that's in a full new cart.
I'm crossing my fingers hoping that someone has an idea as to what the heck I can do. I love the flavor, but I don't want to waste that much liquid or the carts...
Sorry for the long post, I'm hoping that someone will see this much info and it'll give them an idea. I'll check back later. Thanks for any help
