Smoktech Tank - Sucking air

[Projectguy]

Got myself a Smoktech 4 ml tank. Didn't use the Carto that came with because of what I had read about the small hole so used a Boge. THe vape was wonderful even if it was Strawberry...Interesting taste....but I will do some more. But back to the issue at hand.

I thought I would change the carto so that I wouldn't have any "flavour creep" and save the carto for my next bout with Strawberry. WHen I changed the carto, filled the tank screwed it to the battery I got nothing but air. I've tried reloading, primed the cart, made sure the holes were in the tank not hidden by the plugs AND Yes I checked the "O" rings to make certain I had not damaged them when I changed the carto which did not appear damaged.

Ant ideas anyone?

yeah, happened to me with a smok tech carto in a lil mamma tank. has something to do with how they are vented from my understanding, the boge stainless steel i swapped in worked without much issue , the new smoke tek carto worked fine, when I asked the owner of the local shop he said he got a batch of the smok tek cartos that had an issue with the connecting pin ( i cant remember if it was too short or to long, i think it was a bit to short ) and that was causing the airy vape.

hope that helps...

Thanks. I'll change out the Carto.

Now I have the opposite problem with a 6 ml tank. Its like vaping a potato. Its probably a combination of the thick juice and the small hole carto. I'll change that out and let you know.

What mod are you using? If the tank sits too low you'll literally get no suction. Try sliding it up just a tiny bit and see if that helps with the draw on your 6ml tank.

Definitely an improvement thank you (or I'm just getting used to the harder vape0 LOL

THANKS

You're welcome, hopefully that gives you at least one less thing to be frustrated about. I'm pretty fond of tanks, or rather the idea, as I've not used anything BUT DCTs. I have 5, 5ml tanks, and 2, 3 ml tanks...so I've used them quite a bit in my relatively short vaping experience.

Yes...tanks have made vapping a much better experience for me. The cartos last longer and don't taste burnt because they are always saturated! Also...one can vape for long periods of time without interruption!

Okay I'm sure I did this last night anyway here is the latest update:

4 ml tank - sucking air:
Was talking to SloHand who suggested that first question was contact between Carto and battery. There wasn't, and I wasn't even aware at the time this was an issue until he asked the question. So I found a paperclip and pulled the pin in the Carto. Obviously didn't do a good job because there are still air issues. Saw a thread somewhere about that.

4 ml tank - vaping a potato:
Did not resolve the issue but found the culprit, the Cartomizer. This was discovered by dis-assembling the tank (saved the Juice) and vaping the carto - "naked". A little better but still a tough suck. I'll have to discuss with my supplier, but first will search the board

Thanks for the assistance
