Quick Question about hard draw

[MSmusicstudios]

I just received my first Vapor4Life kit, and was so excited! I have wanted to try cartomizers for a long time, and finally took the plunge.

I charged up my batteries, put on a wowboy cart, and tried to take a drag, and I really had to work at it. I took a couple of primer puffs first, and then took another drag, and barely got any vapor. I am using the generic single logo auto batteries and it is hard as heck to get a good vape. I have used the Joye 510 auto batteries, and had no problem, but these are a bear. I tried a couple other cartomizers and had the same issue with each one.

Does anyone have any tips to make the draw a little easier? I thought I would ask before reaching out to the Vapor4Life team.

Thanks for the help!

i wish i could help but ive never had an issue with the draw on autos. you could try making sure that the slots on the carto match up with the holes on the batt.

My wife uses autos, seems like it took like a week full of puffing before it got easier, I think the switch just has to be worked in a bit, if that doesn't work contact V4L they are nice and helpful!

Read your post twice and still wondering if the problem is a hard draw or no vapor. Sounds like mostly hard draw, maybe no draw.

Hard draw can be lots of things, obstructions in or on the air hols on the batt, (like the label covering up the holes in the carto as well). You might try unscrewing the carto by a smige.

All catos doing the same thing?

Thanks for the tips...

The problem is hard draw. I have tried several carts (all 5 that came with the kit) and the all did the same thing.

Look at the air holes and make certain they are clear, try backing off on the cart just a bit and experiment with it. There must be a logical explanation but should be easily solved..

Is the LED on solid when you draw.

I also had the same problem. luckily i had ordered several different carts and put on another one from a different pkg and it worked fine. on another cart from another pkg the draw was great but no vapor, opened another pkg and that one was perfect. I think it's a cart problem.

Yes the LED is solid when I draw. But it takes a lot of work to get the LED to light up!

I will try your suggestions when I get home. I am also going to grab a cartomizer from a friend tomorrow, and try that. Thank You very much for your help!

Sorry to ask even more questions, but are you getting too much, or not enough airflow?

MS, something's wrong. The batts here are known for their relatively smooth draw, and the newest XL version (labeled as such on the site) is absolutely killer, IMO. Smooth and easy for most cartos.

BTW, I like the studio part of your name--I have a home studio here that's my sanctuary and hideout. Hope you resolve the prob.

are the threads ok on the battery, i.e. are the cartos screwing on all the way?

 

[krazie_Kid]

Nothing against auto users, but this is why I go manual, another reasion I do, is so that when I refill I do not fry the batt lol, done it twice.

Thank You everyone for akl the help! I turns out the air holes were clogged, and after messing with the carto lastnight (per tips in this thread and others) I now have the batteries working!!!!

Thanks for all the help everyone! I have to say this group is the most helpfull I have found on ECF!
