Smok Tech clear cartomizer dead after 3 hours?

[Obi Wan Vapori]

I must be doing something wrong. Got my new Reo with some smok Tech clear cartomizers to start out with. Manually filled the carto and got tons of flavor and vape but after about 3 hours I am now getting a muddled flavor and have noticed looking at it the juice in it at the bottom looks burnt. I have squoked it a few times (althoughI can clearly see juice in it) that helped a bit but not much.

Bad carto?

That's typical of those particular cartos, in my experience.

That's what I was afraid of. Already have an attitude about them from past experience with "gas station" e-cigs and this is not helping. Going to try blind squoking and see how that works out. At this rate I will be out of cartos by the end of the week.

i was a fan of cartos for maybe 3 hours max, before i switched to attys

I had problems with cartos at first, too. Finally I got the blind squonk figured out a little better, and stopped pre-filling the carto, and then I was able to get some longer life out of them. If I thought it was getting overfilled, I would take it off and shake it down, then put it back on. Finally I just decided to get a RM2...

Went straight to RM2 OBV - so can't help, but you have my sympathy. Did we get to see a picture of your Reo????

Obi, you will benefit greatly from RBA's. I was in your position about 6 months ago. Then I started RB'ing A's after looking at an awesome photo tutorial. It is very VERY easy and intuitive.
Please check out the tutorial on how to build a very easy setup on the RM2.

If I can do it, ANYONE can, trust me. It is the best $43 you can spend on vaping period.

Don't prefill.

Just squonk a little up in the cartos. You will need to squonk every few hits. You will NOT see juice through the sides until maybe the second day of use.

I used them for awhile. Typical life of a week.

Next payday, already in the works. Currently using the shortie chrome carto Rob sends with the Reo. Blind squoking. So far working better.
