Smoketech cartos

[CaptainMauzer]

I don't know if I'm just doing something "wrong" but when i first started vaping i started out with the smoketech dual coil cartos. Ive ordered them frequently since, and I frequently have issues with them not vaping correctly (little no no vapor production). So i became sick of them and went to some boge 2.0 single coils, never had a problem with a single one of the 20 or so i have used thus far.

I recently bought a buzzpro and wanted to use the 2.0 smoktech DC cartos with a tank, only problem is, once again 0 of the 3 that i have put juice into produce any vapor on my buzz, or either of my ego batteries, while my boges continue to work fine. The center tube of all 3 cartos are clear (can see through them) and the center post goes out farther than it does with the boges, so it SHOULD be making a connection. Does anyone have some sort of "trick" that makes these damn things work?

edit* also i should note that i tried them about before punching a hole in them just so i know they would work, and they just don't seem to fire, even if i crank the buzz pro up to max

Are you hearing the crackle of them working? On my smoktech cartos I find that I often have to slightly fiddle with the center conductor post sometimes to get them to make contact. I usually just take something thin like a safety pin and slightly rock it to get it to come out farther just ever so slightly.

Make sure your putting enough juice in the and letting it get to the coils eather let sit awhile after 1st fill and or i cover both ends and flick it up and down gotta get the juice in good.Could have to slightky pole the bottom of carto out slightly.I use nothing but dc cartos on buzz pro and provaris never had a bad one and i've been threw a crap load of them

I've let my latest attempt at them set overnight in a filled tank, so its plenty wet, and the center post sticks out farther than my boge's (which work fine). If i just press the button but dont inhale i can hear the juice popping, but if i start to attempt to inhale, it immediately stops. Also i just realized i got sent the 3.0 on mistake apparently, but even at 5.5V it should be more than enough to power the coils?

I've discovered the following. For 1.5 ohm Dual Coil Smoketech carts, 4v is perfect for longevity and vaping experience. 2 ohm dual coil are best at 5.25-5.35v. Just my preference and observations. extrapolated out, 3.0 ohm dual coil would need to be around 8v. But I've never used 3.0 ohm carts.

Great Questions! I have had some 510's that aren't working and are just BURNT. I will try the safety pin thing.

Here I go again. Try multiple Taryn spin to fill. I really think a lot of carto burning problems are about poor juice distribution and not enough.

Agree, but I think the spin is overkill. An initial first fill with a syringe is all you need. I have used a few dozen smoktech 1.7s (green and clear wrappers in both black/clear/and flanged) and have never had an issue.
